Primus Amor

5

She wants to but she can't remember.

She's always in a hurry, scurrying here and there and everywhere her duties lead her.

          I've been meaning to ask you since I stumbled upon you last week along the corridor. How do you keep my heart beating so fast when you just look at me straight in the eyes? I felt like I was floating.

She held the letters carefully in her hands, wishing her memories would lead her back in time to witness the past herself.

          ...since I stumbled upon you last week along the corridor.

It keeps repeating in her head like a magical chant that drives her to bewilderment.

There are tons of other letters the same person has sent, judging from the handwriting. But he stopped and she finds it strange that she... misses the letters, misses seeing a folded paper right on top of her books.

Maybe she misses him too.

Wouldn't it be crazy to miss some stranger?

          ...last week along the corridor.

Her phone buzzes at a message from Chanyeol.

The board has decided for their expulsion.

Kim Jongdae

Kim Jongin

At the sight of a familiar name, her mind flashes back to that day and all she could see was his weirdly abashed look.

"Sorry I wasn't looking to where I was going," he says as he hands her the books dropped on the ground.

His hands brushed hers.

They felt so warm, comfortingly warm like the gaze he gives her.

His hand suddenly find hers, gripping gently at her fingers.

"I'm Kim—" he shudders, "Kim..."

"Jongin," Areum finishes in a slight whisper. His nameplate gleamed under the light, mixing silver and white and his name printed in jet black.

Kim Jongin, she remembers and smiles.
