dear channie,

     hello chan! how are you so far? i know you want to know who i am, but i promise, soon you'll know who i really am. by the way i almost forgot, the rumor i was talking about yesterday. i knew you once had a girlfriend. it made me sad, though i do know that maybe was years ago. don't worry, you have me... nah just kidding! you still don't know me so how could that be possible? anyways, that's all i'm gonna say today. anonymous, signing off !

- anonymous :)

again, i folded the signature light blue-colored note i'm gonna give to chan.

we were currently at the classroom and it's lunch break. most students were already out, going to the cafeteria.

but chan and woojin were still there.

my friends were waiting for me outside, quietly whispering to hurry and give chan the note.

i mouthed, "how am i supposed to do so when they're still here?". they sighed.

"fine we'll just wait for you.", they mouthed back. i nodded.

after speaking to them, i was surprised to see them leaving the classroom. i gave my friends the cue that i'm already going to do already.

as soon as i placed it on his desk, mr. calvin josh ong paced inside the classroom.

i stood away from chan's chair awkwardly.

"hi mr. ong."

i greeted.

"aren't you gonna eat lunch, yana?"

mr. ong asked.

"oh i was supposed to leave when you suddenly walked in so..."

i answered. he looked surprised.

"oh sorry then! here, go now. you need lunch."

he responded. i nodded awkwardly, again. i walked my way out of the classroom.

"hey what took you so long? i saw chan and woojin walk out like 5 minutes ago."

areum, my only girl best friend asked.

"long story. mr. ong and i talked for quite a short time. i'd rather not tell what it's about."

i said. they responded with some 'ok's'.

"let's just go. there's only like 25 minutes left 'till lunch ends."

his ;

after lunch, i went back to the classroom with woojin.

as soon as we arrived, i saw one of those notes the 'anonymous person' gave me. i smiled widely. i don't really know why.

as i read it, i smiled as well. this person knows how to make me smile but for no reason.

"another one of those notes i see."

woojin suddenly said, slinging one of his arms on my shoulders.

"yup."

i responded.

"i'm also curious, too, to know who that person is."

woojin said next. i nodded in agreement.

"well class starts soon so you better get back to your seat."

i told my best friend. he answered 'ok' then went back to his seat.

mr. ong soon arrived to class as soon as woojin did that.
