A few days later...

(Y/N)'s POV:
So, this morning I decided to rearrange and fix some things in my room. It was kind of messy and it had some dust. I have decided to clean it. I'm feeling productive today.

I now have the cleaning tools to use. I remove some of my books on my small book shelf, some notebooks, the sheets from my bed and my pillow, my blankets to wash them, and so on.

While I was cleaning, I saw a small wooden chest on the side of my bed. Why didn't I notice it? Oh, wait, it seems familiar. I grabbed it, I wiped some dust on it, I observed the small wooden chest, and it was locked. Where is the key to this, though? I guess I am the one who locked this.

I observed again. I felt something under the small wooden chest as I was touching it all over. It seemed like an object, and it was attached there, so I looked at it, and it was the key! So I got it and I tried to unlock it on the small wooden chest, and it worked.

When I opened it, I saw some things I'd seen before. It was full of letters, which I read. This was a collection of all the unsent letters I wrote for him. I had planned to stop that day because he was courting someone.

Oh, yes, I remember. The letter! Camilo's first letter, which I received. There was only one. I'm not sure if he'll write back if I ever put my address and real name on the letter I sent to the mailman as the mailman placed it in his mail box, but how did Camilo send me the letters back?

I read the letter from him.

"Hey, secret admirer
You've been sending me letters a lot, and I'd like to know more about you. I only know that you're in love with me. Anyway, I appreciate them all. Can we, I guess, meet? I'm not forcing you.

from: Camilo Madrigal, the coolest shape-shifter than my twin brother

I don't know your name, for real."

He didn't know that I was the one who was sending him letters named by 'secret admirer'. He never knew that I was the one who wrote it, though, nor my writing style.

I continue to read some letters, from happy ones to kind of sad ones. Oh, poor me, I didn't get a chance to be with him. But it will be fine, you'll be better and move on as soon as possible.

While thinking about this, I just remembered that I have to clean my room. Gosh, I'll clean up now. I closed and locked the small wooden chest, and I placed it on the table because I might keep it. Ay, (Y/N) you really treasure it.

Thinking of that makes me giggle. And so I now continue cleaning and arranging some of my things here.

A few minutes of cleaning, I took a break for a moment, and I drank some water as I looked at the window.

As the sun rose, I saw more people on the outside walking, talking, playing, and so on. I now looked at the big mountains that surrounded the town. They were just a color of green and beautiful trees that I had seen from afar. Their colors were so soothing to my eyes, and I felt relaxed a bit.

As I thought of that, mamá came in.

"Guess who's in love? And it's you~" she teased me as she came closer to me and tickled me.

", I'm not. I'm just admiring the mountains," I defended as I moved away.

"Really?" Ay, mamá, don't force me to say that I am. But am I still in love? I'm still in the process of moving on.

"Yes, believe it or not. That is the truth," I said as I looked again at the outside of the window.

"Sure, hija. Anyway, do you want some food? You're kind of working hard today, huh? So if you think you may be hungry, just eat this," she said as she handed me the two empanadas and the orange juice.
