Milk Tea and Love notes | Yeonbin ✓

Later that day, there's another envelope in his bag. Soobin has no idea how his secret admirer manages to sneak these in. Maybe Soobin just isn't attentive enough. Either way, he makes sure he's alone before opening the envelope and starting to read.

Dear Soobin,

I think this will be my last letter to you (or maybe the second last).

As much as I want to keep writing to you, I think I've just been burdening you with my feelings. I want you to be happy, above all else, and I think these letters are just making you sad for my sake. I don't want to make you upset.

That's the last thing I want to do. It hurts my heart to see you cry, to see you sad. And if I'm the cause of it, I can't live with myself.

One of the things I admire the most about you is how much you care. How much love you have in your heart.
But, with these letters, I think I'm just making you feel bad.

But you don't have to feel bad for me.

Loving you has made me stronger and happier than I've ever been. The moments I get to spend with you are the best, and I cherish each one of them. I would never trade those for anything.
I'm so happy and lucky to have you in my life and have your friendship. That's more than enough for me.

But I'm still in love with you, and I always will be.

Love,

Y

Soobin almost crumbles the letter in his hand, this one is even more painful to read than the last. But he becomes determined. He practically runs to the store and gets some nice paper and a pretty envelope.

He's going to write back this time. Hopefully, it's not his secret admirer's last letter. Soobin hopes his secret admirer gives him just one more like he said he might. One more time is all Soobin needs to try and figure this out.

Just one more so he can see the letter Soobin leaves for him. So, Soobin, right before he joins swim practice, puts the letter in his locker. He's about to step out but...

He can wait in the change room until he sees who will come in.

This is going to be a failure. His secret admirer is never going to see it. It's such a long shot but his secret admirer is about to stop communicating with him completely, without Soobin even finding out who he is, so it's worth it to at least try.

He makes up his mind.

He waits in the supply closet, the door slightly ajar. He has a perfect view of his locker this way, so he'll see who comes in (if anyone does).

Yeonjun suddenly comes into view.

Soobin averts his gaze as he takes off his hoodie. He's late for practice and Soobin wonders if his class ran late and that's why.

Something makes Soobin lookup.

Just in time to see Yeonjun take a light brown envelope out of his bag. Yeonjun looks around, almost suspiciously, before opening Soobin's locker. Soobin can see the exact moment he sees the letter Soobin left for him, as he seems surprised to see it.

Soobin watches him grab it slowly, looking at it this way and that as if it's his first time seeing an envelope.

Soobin, in a moment of foolish hope, opens the supply closet door and steps out before he can even attempt to talk himself out of it.

"Yeonjun hyung..."
