Dear death,

Here I am again. Sitting on the rusting swing set I sat on yesterday. The rain is still pouring, but I don't mind. Rain keeps me calm. I love the smell of rain. I swing gently, moving back and forth on the swing. Light foot steps echo through my ears. A dark figure walks towards the park, approaching the swings slowly. The figure seemed to of noticed my tensed figure on the swing and continued to walk. I wasn't sure whether or not to run away, I decided to stay. The figure turned out to be a young male, about my age. He spoke with a gentle voice, as if I was a child. His voice is deep but soft, very comforting. He managed to distract my deadly thoughts. He introduced himself as Jaebum, Im Jaebum to be specific. The rain poured lighting onto the both of us, water slowly dripping on to our bodies. I never wanted to leave his side, his comforting words and actions towards me made me warm and happy inside. Please don't leave me Jaebum. I need you. Without you I will perish into the unknown, save me.

Until the next letter,

최 영재.
