Love can be displayed in many ways- be it songs, poems, or presents. They are all ways to show adoration.

But, you were too much of a coward to even do small gestures of appreciation like giving him small presents that required no words since you weren't confident with your words should you open your mouth. Even just the thought made you cower which resulted in wanting to shut yourself in the comfort of your house. However, as days goes on and seeing him out and about with others, it made you realize something.. It was best to keep your feelings tucked away. Seeing him smile was all you need.

That said, the love letters in your room soon piled up. Letters of your drafted confession that never had a closure to fantasies that will remain as fantasies-- all those words on a once blank sheet of paper would forever be letters that weren't sent. And you were fine with that.

"(Y/N)?" You felt your heart drop out of fright. You hadn't noticed that someone came into the room with your focus staring at the drawer of your desk that you just had recently closed.

"Xingqiu, what are you doing here? No, actually, how did you get in here?" you ask the obvious. "Hm? A servant girl let me in as usual.. Are you alright, my liege? You seemed focused on something that you hadn't answered me the first time."

"Ah, yeah.. Sorry. I've just been thinking is all. It's nothing worrisome though so rest assured," you said. Xingqiu stares at you, clearly concerned but did not push on. "Oh, that's right.. Where is Chongyun?" He looks around the place as if his friend was somewhere in hiding.

"He was here with me just moments ago.. It seems like he has gotten lost again," he states. Chongyun hasn't been around your place as much to familiarize himself with its layout so whenever he came with Xingqiu, there was a chance he would get lost. But, you sometimes think that Xingqiu was doin it on purpose to have you also run around the house.

You stood up. "I'll go find him while I bring us some tea. In the meanwhile, please stay here," you offered, standing up from your seat. "Well, if you say so, my liege."

It wasn't long before you found Chongyun at the other end of the house by asking around. When you found him, he looked like a lost puppy, mumbling underneath his breath that he sworn he has been in the same exact corridor.

You offered your help, asking a gardener who had just came in after a day's work to guide Chongyun back while you fetch the drinks you offered earlier.

"Master, you do not need to overwork yourself with simple things like this. This is a servant's work." One had found you quietly brewing tea in the kitchen and immediately rushed to you. "No, it's okay. If it is simple, even I can do it." They did not say anything afterwards and excused themselves politely.

While in your own thoughts, Chongyun finally reunited with Xingqiu back in your room. "Say, Chongyun, what do you think is in this drawer?" Xingqiu asks, both looking at the drawer that held your deepest secret.

"We shouldn't open that. It's their privacy after all.." Chongyun gulps, eyeing his friend suspiciously. "And isn't it just filled with paper?" One day that he was over, he noticed that it was open and saw lots of paper. He did not question it since it was nothing but paper.

"Yes, you are correct. But aren't you curious what deep secrets (Y/N) has been writing?" he giggles cheekily. But he caught himself quite soon, clearing his throat and straightening up.
