"you never tell me that you have a brother." i said with a crossed arm while eyeing munching the french fries sejeong.

"well,you didn't ask me―oopss" she said with fulled mouth and the fries almost came out of her mouth.

"you should tell me about your family members,about your siblings at least? i even shared mine."

"i have a brother and my parents. want to know more about my ancestor?" she looked at me and i quickly throw some those yellow sticks at her as i noticed there are some laughters in her eyes.

"no thanks." she bursted into laughters and i scanned her with my poker face.

"how couldn't i realise that both of you have rectangular smile." i sighed and continued.

"and now i am the kim's slave."

"hey! slave is too harsh. you should be grateful to spend your one week suspension with full benefits. be a lady chauffeur is not bad though." she grinned and i sipped my espresso.

those rectangular smile.

it reminds me of something.

i closed my eyes and pressed the invisible button of flashback in my mind.

rectangular.

rectangular smile.

smile.

kid.

letters.

my eyes shot open and i instantly stood up.

"woah,what happened?" sejeong panicked and almost dropped the fries from her hand.

"sejeong,you remember that i was once told you about the letters?" she nodded frantically and asked me why.

"i gotta go. i will call you later. bye." i grabbed my purse and dashed out of the coffee shop.

i swung my bedroom door and my eyes glued to my closet while i dragged my feet toward it.

with the unstable breath rate,i slide open my closet and looked at the big pink present box.

i took it in my shaky hand and open the lid. my eyes stared at the numerous letters in different colours.

i took a grey coloured envelope in my hand and unfold it.

"hi there beauty,i smile everytime i see you. everytime you return that smile, although it is sincere or not,my heart always overflows with joy―rectangular smile kid."

my lips tugged upward a bit and i unfolded the other letter.

"kiss me,hug me,love me, i will return the same quantity of those sweetest things or i will give you more than that.
―rectangular smile kid."

i sighed and closed the box. i leaned against my bed and stared at all of those letters.

i always received them everyday. yeah,every single day. in my locker,under my desk,in my mailbox. until one day,after we graduated,i never receive them again.

i promise myself not to date anyone and try my best to find this anonymous guy.

i put all of my trust on him and want to date him,marry him and do every couples do.

taehyung is the only guy that i know well with his famous rectangular smile.

is it you,kim taehyung?
