Dear Jeon Wonwoo,

Can I just say that I hate you right now? I seriously still can't believe you chickened out on proposing to Mingyu. And it isn't just me, Mingyu was so disappointed. By the time I send you this, you better have grown back your balls and asked him. If not, well it's not going to be pretty.

Seriously, I've put too much of my time and effort helping you guys have the best relationship ever. You know how much your first date costed, right? I even got heartbroken. Twice. Just so you guys could work out.

I can still remember the first time. How then I got heartbroken by you. But now it's all worth it just to see you guys happy.

I bet you're looking back to how we first met, right? It was a rather cliche way, I admit. Maybe that's why I really liked you. Because of how cliche and surreal it all seemed.

You were the cute librarian student who became my tutor. How could I not fall for you?

Wow, a sense of nostalgia is filling my mind now. I'm remembering how I was just sitting in the library in my second year of college, getting frustrated over how I couldn't understand the assignment my professor had given me. That was when you decided to approach me, kindly offering help.

At first, I thought you were a character out of some drama. The way your facial features complimented your eyes was uncanny. You were just that good looking.

Honestly, your looks kind of made you seem like one of those jocks who would rather party than study. But yet there you were, volunteering at the most quiet place on campus.

I accepted your offer, feeling so bemused that I would resort to anything, even getting help from a stranger. So there we sat for the next hour or so. With you explaining the instructions and me holding onto every word that came out of your mouth. It was about 5:30 p.m. by the time we finished, and coincidentally the time your shift ended.

I thanked you for helping, and apologized for taking your time. You replied saying it was no problem which sent me on my way. But just as I exited the library, you ran towards me and grabbed my shoulder.

I jumped, startled at the sudden contact, and turned around. You had removed you hand by then, and smiled at me with a sheepish grin. In return, I just stared at you, confused as to why you held me back. It might've taken a few moments of uncomfortable silence, but you eventually told me that you had a bit of free time and wanted to eat, asking me if I wanted to eat with you.

At the mention of food, I immediately agreed. A girl has her needs, am I right?

So we ate dinner together at a small cafe. Just the two of us. Strangers who had just met. Totally nothing out of the ordinary.
