It's Monday going back to school. I hold an almost-crumpled lilac love note in the sweating palm of my hands. I have to alternate which hand the love letter goes in because my hands are sweating too much for me to handle, so I'm afraid that the paper might get soggy. Of course, it's not too big of a worry. (because that means I can miss out one day of giving him a love note.)
I walk up to his locker at around 7 in the morning, knowing damn well that Jongseong's too busy distracting him in the cafeteria to come near his locker. So, I notice that his locker's already open- and I open it even further. There, a pink slip sits right in the perfect center of his locker, and I almost freak. At the top of the crease, there it reads: My admirer, for you.
Do I pick it up? Do I run for my life? What if he knows it's me? Whatever, it's fine! Pick it up, Areum!
I grab it quickly, switching his love note for mine. I recite my love note perfectly in my head:
If you ever find out who I am, Let's go get mint chocolate ice cream. I know you like it, and so do I. So, whenever you'd like, give me a chance, and let's be as sweet as ice cream can be.
It's cringy. I get it. However, I'd do anything! Most, just about, anything! For Sunoo-
Okay, I can't do it anymore. I get that it's cringy, let's leave it at that.
I slam shut his locker just for passersby to start staring, so I book it for the classrooms. Entering homeroom classroom with Mr. Jung watching me from afar, I bow to him quickly before taking my seat. I gulp, staring at the cutesy pink note addressed to me, his admirer. He would never know, not until I'm ready to give more obvious hints. It's too soon.
Opening it, creases by crease, I see his beautiful handwriting inked on the paper.
Hi, my admirer! I appreciate all that you say to me, and how happy you make me every day. Don't stop telling me these things, because one day, I will catch you. and when that happens, I'll kiss you. Instantly. Don't take my word for it though! Hehe! I have a few expectations, I've got a few hints. Love you!
