the king of your heart

-say you'll remember me-

    Dear Junmyeon,

    I know this is weird. I am not supposed to send you these letters either. It will be a thousand times easier to contact you online. But that wouldn't be special in any way, right? I want you to hold my message in your hands and remember them. Call me delusional, but I still like you very much. In the midst of so many math formulae and statistics diagrams, I still make time to think about you and every time I do so, I just like you ten times more.

    Don't feel pressurized to write me a reply. I just hope that one day, you will change your mind about me. I don't want to remain as a child in your eyes, your rejection was only the push I needed to work harder and change your mind. There are so many things I want to tell you, I have signed up for swimming classes. I also got a tuition job just last week. I still have a lot of boxes to unpack.

   I swear if you reply to this, unlike the last three times, I am going to burst in some happy confetti. The guts that I have gathered to write even a single letter might move the pyramid of Giza. I wish you a very happy day nonetheless. I hope you're eating well and sleeping and not worrying so much about the robot you are trying to make. You're just in your second year and look at how far you've gotten! But you had always been THE genius in our class so I guess it's normal for you.

   You will receive a lot of letters of this kind from many others, but mine will most always be filled with the genuine admiration and love that I have for you. I hope I'm not creeping you out, Junmyeon. I hope you don't get a girlfriend even though there are so many pretty girls around you. Stay safe, and think about me! I'm not the little girl anymore, I swear!

Anyways,
Your faithful idiot,
Bae Joohyun.

That was a lot to take in. Sehun heaved a huge sigh before placing the paper down on his study table. It wasn't because of the effort he had to put in to understand every word because the girl had terrible handwriting, but because of the thought that her words had once again ended up in his letter box. 

Sehun knew he was most probably supposed to direct back a letter saying she was sending her precious romantic words to the wrong person but he couldn't waste his minimal pocket money on sending a letter to London. She wasn't expecting a reply anyway.

It was immoral, to read someone else's letter. And it would cut him more when he would see Junmyeon in the hallway of the science building. The guy wasn't particularly nice and Sehun would call him a rather snobbish type who liked everything perfect. He had read four letters from Bae Joohyun and he honestly felt pity for the girl. She was aiming for the wrong guy.

Just last day, he had seen Junmyeon with the head of the cheerleaders in an ice cream shop when he went to buy his little sister a treat as she was on her periods. He had felt exceptionally sad at the sight. Junmyeon could also be categorized underneath the playboy type so that made the Joohyun girl hundred times more pitiful.

His phone lit up in the dark room. Sehun stopped it from buzzing and pressed it to his ear.

"I was just checking to see if you are sleeping or not."

"I am technically sleeping," Sehun replied with a smile on his face, "I can't concentrate." He kept the phone in between his shoulder and ear as he carefully folded the paper and pushed it inside the envelope.

"I can see that," she chuckled. "Do you wanna come over?"

"Mmhmm," Sehun hummed a no, "I need to revise for the exam tomorrow."

"I was saying we can revise together, dumbo?"

"Not a good idea," he smirked, sealing the envelop with his thumb before heaving a sigh at the sight of it. The stamp glared at him from the corner, illuminated by the lamp on his desk. "I have to hang up, Jennie."

The girl whined from the other end of the phone before giving up. Sehun cut the call and took the envelope in his hand again. With a thumb, he caressed the string of clumsy letters on the beige paper. Bae Joohyun, it read.

Perhaps he should deliver the letters to Junmyeon instead of keeping them, he thought.
