" See yah tomorrow at our party. Be there or be square " as we laughed at his last remark, our basketball captain took his leave after he bit a goodbye to us and reminded about throwing a mini celebration tomorrow at his place, celebrating our championship game that we achieved earlier.
After a few minutes of chattering with others, they already went home. I heaved a sigh for having a long day then took a cold shower and changed with new pair of clean cloths.
As I opened my own locker, a brown mid-size box with its red ribbon securely tied around the box came into my view. I raised my eyebrow, not suprised after seeing and receiving gifts from someone but this one, it gives me a strange feeling that I've should be careful. Reluctantly, I just grabbed it and closed my locker after shoving the calculus book from my sports bag.
In the midst of eerie silence, my footsteps only resonating around the hallway as I shivered out the coldness even though I am wearing our varsity jacket. I shrugged off the feeling and ran the remaining distance towards my own auto from the parking lot.
I opened the door at the backseat, dropping my bag and the brown box carefully. I looked at it for a second before hopping at the driver seat. I fastened my seatbelt and let my forehead leaned against the steering wheel.
Once I calmed myself, I craned up the engine and opened the radio in my car, switching it heedily to find my favorite station but only to make my eyebrows furrowed when there was something caught my attention and it suddenly gave me a goosebumps.
' Tonight, we found a dead body of a male teenager down at the cliff in which some police officers reported that the boy made his death intentionally. His body found around 6:35 pm, wearing a black varsity jacket, pairing with beige pants and black sneakers. They also found a gold necklace around his neck with its key pendant. This case is not totally--- '
My breath got hitched as I felt a vibration against my left thigh, signalling someone was calling. I lowered the volume of the radio as I fished out the gadget from my pant's pocket. I clicked the green button, seeing Renjun is calling.
" yeah, what's up? " I answered nonchalantly.
" yeah? have you seen Haechan? "
I chuckled bitterly at his sudden question but not suprised after all.
" really? is that why you called? "
" yeah and answer my goddamit question "
" h-hey easy man, just chill okay.... and to answer your question, it's a no. I didn't see him and I really don't care about him. What's with him and for such having a hotheaded tonight Renjun? "
" you really don't care about him no? he went missing for who knows how many hours just saying. His cousin was so worried and we are here at his place "
" maybe he just went out somewhere? just don't make it a big deal. When he get tired, he will get back home eventually. Relax friends "
" Mark, what day is today? "
" uhh, friday June 6? "
" Mark, how dare you to forget his special day today? "
" special day of who? get straight to the point Renjun "
" Haechan who else! "
" ahhh okay...... so, what now? "
" ........ "
" hello, bud? you still there? "
I heard his heavy breath on the other line with some thumping sounds and muffled chatterings on the background.
" h-how can you say that so calmly? What happened to the Mark we know who claim himself as Donghyuck's soulmate? I still don't understand your sudden actions towards him, what's with you Mark Lee? you're being an asshole "
" you know Renjun, people changed. May or may not be a good for ourselves, but that's life. He has his own life, I have my own too, so it's my choice to change whatever what's between on us "
" whatever you reaso-- J-Jaemin? what happened omaygahd?!..... why are you--- okay, thanks for you time hyung. Jaemin needs us "
" w-wait what hap--- "
The call ended with a beep. I held it tightly for a second before shoving it back in my pocket. My knuckles turned white, letting out a shaky breath and then manouvered faster, eager to go home as soon as possible.

I forcily opened my both eyes wider and tried to shrugged the tiredness away from all the exhausting activities, but my curiousness was now overpowering, staring intently at the brown mid box with the dedication card that I didn't notice earlier. I heaved a deep sight for umpteenth times before grabbing and examining it carefully. Sitting in my comfy bed would be the best choice for tonight while dealing with this mysterious box. After deciding for how long minutes, I hastily took the edge of rough, glittery ribbon, watching it unleashed before my eyes. Slowly, I re-read the dedication card with my full name there, my forehead started to crease when the penmanship was really familiar, it seems like I already saw this penmanship.
I didn't waste more time just to think where did I see those penmanship by any chance. I wearily opened the box, seeing lots of folded cards. Are these love letters for me? should I waste my time for this?
" I'm bored so why not " then I emitted a soft whistle before picking a first note that I didn't know it could changed my mood abruptly. Too much engrossed on what I was doing, I heard my phone beeping countless times as the notifications displayed in my phone screen along my hearbeats starting to pound faster than usual.
