you have one notification.

› have a great day today.

She lingered upon the message, her round eyes filled with upmost admiration as they circle around every word she read. And just as always, the warmest tender smile plastered to her face as she rechecks the sender's name. Yoon Oh. As if time was ushering her to school, she slid her phone back into her pocket and continued the route she was on.

Believe it or not, this was not the first time the world came to learn of the biggest and most winsome smile Haru possessed. Over the span of 2 months, her temporary joy was felt through such texts. Superficial, she knows. So, was it silly to be placing her hopes and beliefs in the most insignificant things?

But in these moments, Haru couldn't give a tinker's damn. Life could get back at her for as long as it desired. What mattered was right now, for the first time in awhile, she was happy. And her heart was set on prolonging that wholesome feeling, even if it meant that she was practically head over heels for this man. As she made her way to school with light on her feet, her mind effortlessly harked back to the miraculous conversations they shared.

Her steps bore down as her reminiscing came to a reality's pitstop. This time, she went through her head gingerly.
