To Lee Jihoon | SoonHoon

29

Lee Jihoon,

We were all gathered in the clearing around the fire pit today. No schedules or study work had been given out this morning. You were standing beside me.

You look even smaller in the midst of the rest of the crowd. You still stood out to me though.

Some kid from one of the other high schools – Jooheon I think someone said was his name – accidentally bumped into you trying to get to his other friend. You jumped and grabbed my hand.

I held your hand for a long time, even after the announcements about the following day's activities had been said and we were walking back to Cabin 17. Neither of us said anything about it.

Your hand is small, but holding it made me feel happy. Why do you make me so happy, Jihoon?
