"Joohee was the one who wrote me those notes back in high school?"



Sana was sitting down, still shocked. She stared at her desk, still comparing.



'C.J. is the alias he used. All this time, I thought it was Jason. His first name is Charles Jason. Now that I have compared this, it actually meant Chou Joohee,' Sana thought.



"Jason gave me a letter that hinted it was him. So he wasn't the one at all from the start? Maybe he knew Joohee wrote to me and used that as a trump card," Sana told herself, "It was my fault to believe him then and there,"



'Did Joohee mention they were classmates from high school? Or that was just in college. I can't remember...' Sana thought.



"I was too blinded by the longing I felt with C.J." Sana sighed, realizing she was so stupid to believe easily, "His notes and effort to deliver them every day, those occasional poems, and captivating words was just..." she looked over to the collected sticky notes,



She stood up, walking towards the ziplock, and read each one while glancing at the poem Joohee wrote and compared. 



"Romantic..." she smiled and reminisced how excited she was every morning to go to school. Looking forward to the next note or gift C.J. left at her locker.


"I previously thought it was just some cheesy guy and disregarded the first ones."


"But as time went on, I've grown accustomed and looked forward to them every day. Until a certain time in our fourth year, he disappeared similar to a bubble" she smiled bitterly and sighed.



Sana looked at the notes again and thought of it as rationally as she can. Not letting her feelings get the best of her this time.



"Even so, this is just his penmanship. What if Jason asked Joohee to write it for him? Or maybe some other guy I don't know. I can't quite tell based on these speculations and a lack of evidence," Sana spoke while holding another note,


"I don't think it was Joohee. I mean..." Sana paused, "He's quite aloof as a kid. We aren't even 'friends' now that I look back..."


"If we cross paths at their house during the times I came over, we kept quarreling, and when in school, both of us couldn't even bat an eye,"



Sana trying to sort her thoughts out, considered the possibility that it was Joohee.
