Mika

Guanlin and I have known each other way before his journey to being an idol to finally being one, have began. We met in highschool, during our first day. We both arrived late. I was busy looking at the bulletin board for my classroom when a lanky boy came beside me looking for the same thing. He was panting from running for his life to get to school. I took a look on his face while he's furiously looking which classroom he should be in right now. I instinctively fish out my hanky from my pocket and didn't notice that my hand went to his face, patting away the beads of sweat. He looked at me surprised but thankfully, not disgusted. His eyes were as gentle as a dove's. The seconds he looked into mine felt so calming. Is this boy human or tea in human form? His skin was shining like my favorite star at night. I couldn't help but get pulled and do what I did.

After that shameful incident (on my part), that's when we became really good friends. We soon found out that he's a senior and I'm a junior. We'd spend all the time together in school. We have breaks together and even study together. He was the sweetest, most gentleman boy that I have ever met.

Soon, Guanlin found his dream while I'm still looking for mine in darkness. I'll never forget that day when he came to me, his eyes filled with just the purest joy and excitement.

"Mika!"

"What's this happiness all about?"

"I got it!"

"Got what?"

"Plane ticket to Seoul! I'm moving! I got accepted in an entertainment company there. I'll train to be a swaggy rapper! I'm leaving in 2 days!"

I honestly just heard 'plane ticket', 'Seoul', and 'leaving' the most clearly. My heart sank while my sunshine is glowing more than ever.

I helped him pack, bought some necessities and sent him away.

First few months, our communication was consistent. We even video chat and he sends me snippets of him dancing and rapping--asking what I think--if he's doing well. And he's terrific and I feel bad for wishing for him to be bad at it. I wanted him back here in Taiwan with me. But I couldn't stop him from being an idol--I must support him through and through.

As expected, some time more, Produce 101 came. That's when he has become the busiest. During the duration of the show, we weren't able to talk at all--nothing. I struggled. I keep close watch of the show. He's doing so well. People love him. I really thought that he has forgotten about his 'ordinary' friend back here in Taiwan. I was about to move on about it and all until,

"Mika! Sweetheart!"

"Yes Mom?"

"Come on down here. Something arrived for you!"

"Coming!"

It's an envelope.

A letter from him.

With a plane ticket to Seoul.

Mika!

Hey! It's Guanlin! Produce 101 is over! I hope you know. I have missed you. I hope you've been taking care of yourself well. I made it! Top 11! I'll be debuting as one of the members of Wanna One! Can you believe it? I really did it! This is such good news. You know how important this is for me. That's why I couldn't just chat you about this and you're important to me. So since I cannot break it to you in person, I thought sending a letter would suffice? And for you to know that I mean my apology, I bought you a plane ticket. Come and see me. I want to celebrate with you and see you again.

I did it. I sent her the plane ticket. I hope she doesn't hate me by now. I hope she'll come and see me. I can't wait to show her around. I hope 3 days would be enough. That's what I can only afford by now. I can't wait!
