Letter #4

Dear Jaemin,

          Do you still remember the first time you asked me to eat lunch with you? I was so shy to decline your offer even though I badly wanted to eat with you. The problem is that I left my packed lunch and I was only planning to eat a bun that time.

          You noticed how anxious I was, but you didn't stop asking me until I spilled out what the problem was. I thought you're going to just leave me and eat with our other classmates but I was wrong.

          You just let out a soft laugh and tapped my shoulder saying that it's okay and I can just share with your lunch. I was kept on shaking my head ‘no’ but you insisted.

          So instead of eating a bun, I ended up eating a full meal for lunch. But it doesn't end there, you introduced me to your friend, the one whom transfered with you in this school. His name is Lee Jeno, he has the same surname as I am.

          You told me that you forgot to mention him because he was not around in the first day of school due to the delayed of his flight from Jeju to Seoul, and he only got to go to school on the second day, which is that day. The day when we ate lunch together.

          I was amazed to the fact that Jeno has been your friend since your early childhood. I thought I'd feel left out from the two of you and won't be able to relate but you once again proved me wrong, because it was fun to be with the both of you.

          Jeno used to throw lame jokes which you chose to laughed forcefully making me laugh my ass out.

          It was fun experiencing that first lunch that we had together.
