Everlasting Love | Stray Kids

The First

It was a normal day as you roam the hallways, you could barely hear the commotion from your locker until Jisung nudged you in the direction.

With a puff, you glared at him
"Is there a problem?"

He raised his hands defensively and backed away slowly
"I only tried to help, you don't have to be so snappy about it"

You shook your head and sighed
"We barely just got through our mid-exams. Sorry, I'll get you some ice cream later-"

"You mean it?!" He looked at you, eyes sparkling and his figure bouncing from excitement. You rolled your eyes

"Yes! Now stop it, people will think you're my child" You said as he pouted and stomped

"I am."

"You are what?"

He grumbled and looked to the side "I am not." 

You squealed and squeezed his taller figure, slightly shaking him. The locker only a ghost of a memory now.

You didn't let go until he whined and wiggled out of your hold
"Stop smothering me!"

You wrinkled your nose and took your tongue out. 
"You want the ice cream or not?"

He gasped and pushed you eagerly towards your locker
"Yes! Get your sh*t and hurry before all of the ice cream trucks run away!"

You whined and glared at him, nonetheless, your classmates made way for you.

You looked at all of them weirdly, but thought nothing of it until there you stood.

To a locker filled with paper roses, and each with your name scribbled of each petal.

It all surrounded a single paper heart, you gently held it in your hands; afraid that a single movement could make it all collapse. You carefully unfolded the work of art, Jisung being the last thing on your mind as your heart skipped a beat. 

{Y/N}, you may not know who I am and that's okay. 
But I've seen you, the way you wrinkle your nose as you laugh and try to hide it with your small hands.
The way you bite your lip as you concentrate on the littlest things.
The way you unintentionally hum your favorite song.

The way you smile, a beautiful scarlet red on your cheeks.

I've written this thousands of times, but none could reveal how I feel for you.

You are beautiful, you are the sunshine to my soul.

But I am the shadow that you would never see.

Even now I can see how flustered you may be reading this letter.

I know you didn't expect anything, it's your birthday after all.

You didn't expect that, did you?

Did you really think I'd forget the day that brings you sadness?

But most importantly...

The day we met?
