pandora's box

Jaehyun's POV

"Congratulations, Hyung!" I smiled at the smiling boy standing in front of me. I couldn't help but feel a tug on my heart, knowing that I missed her just by a few seconds. I said "Thank you, Chen Le. You did a good job on court today too. Do you want to join Jaemin, Jeno and I for dinner?" He nodded excitedly and said "Sure!" I nodded and said "I just have to grab something quickly from my locker.

As I stood in front of my locker, I’m not sure if it’s from the adrenaline run from the game or the nervousness, but my heart was palpitating quickly. I carefully opened the door to my locker, and I immediately broke out into a smile. Lying on top of my laptop, there was that envelope and, by its side, a bottle of a sports drink. But it was my favourite, Pocari Sweat. My eyes widened. I’ve never told anyone about my love for a cold Pocari Sweat after a game.

I kept the letter, grabbed my laptop and the bottle before closing my locker. I cracked open the cold drink and drank it, and Chen Le said “Is that from Y?” I smiled and said “I would assume so.” He laughed and I can’t help but let out a chuckle myself. We headed to the cafeteria and I saw Jaemin and Jeno chatting about something. But as Chen Le and I got closer and when we were within earshot, I saw Jaemin smack Jeno, and the latter quietening down. What were they so suspicious about?

Jaemin’s POV

Y: Jaem, Jaehyun Sunbae saw me.

My eyes widened, and Jeno said “What? What’s with that look?” I showed him my phone and his eyes widened too. Jeno whipped out his phone and typed in the group chat with the 3 of us.

Jeno: Did he see your face?

Y: No, thank god.

As the door to the cafeteria opened, we saw Chen Le and Jaehyun walking in, and the latter with a huge smile on his face. Jeno said “Hyung, don’t you look a little happy after your trip to your locker.” Jaehyun said “I saw her!”

I said “Her? You mean your secret admirer?” Jaehyun nodded and said “I really did. She placed a letter in my locker, and a bottle of Pocari Sweat.”

Jeno smiled and said “I guess she knows you really well. You’ve never made known that you love Pocari Sweat after a game.” Jaehyun nodded and said “Precisely. She must be someone I know.” I asked “Any idea who it is, Hyung?” Jaehyun instantly slumped his shoulders and said “I do have someone in mind, but I’m not sure. She isn’t in Korea.”

Jeno and I exchanged glances. Jeno said “I hope you find her, Hyung. You’re such a nice guy, you deserve your happy ending.”

UNKNOWN POV

This is my chance to get Jaehyun Sunbaenim.

close shave

"What are you looking at?" I immediately hid the letter under my pillow and turned to see my roommate, Jihye, standing in the doorway. She laughed in disbelief while shaking her head before saying "You know I've been standing here for quite some time, right? I know what you slipped under your pillow."

I pouted and pulled out the letter from underneath my pillow and handed it to her. After skimming through the letter, she raised her eyebrows in surprise and broke out into a huge smile. She exclaimed "You did it! He noticed you! Please tell me you're going to the game!" I sighed and whined "I don't have choice! Jeno is playing and he wants me to be there." She laughed and said "Time for you to see Prince Charming up close and stop hiding behind walls like a creep."

The morning came quicker than I expected it to be, and I woke up bright and early, staring at my wardrobe. "Princess." I turned and saw Jihye rubbing her eyes. I smiled sheepishly and asked "Did I wake you?" She shook her head before letting out a yawn. When her eyes finally focused, she remarked sarcastically "I thought someone said she didn't want to see Jaehyun Sunbae? Trying to make an impression now, aren't we?" I let out an exasperated cry and exclaimed "Please stop teasing me and help me, Jihye!"

She laughed and came over, before pulling out a pair of ripped skinny jeans and a black crop top. She smiled and said "A simple outfit but shows off everything right." I went to change, and she helped me pick out a chain necklace and a matching watch strap for my Apple Watch. I pressed a kiss onto her cheek and said "Thank you, life saviour!" Before putting on my baseball cap, grabbing my stuff and leaving for school.

I looked into my bag, ensuring that I had an empty letter in my bag so I could write a quick letter after the game and leave it in Jaehyun Sunbae's locker.

After class, Jaemin was indeed waiting outside my lecture theatre, and he grabbed my wrist before saying "I'm not letting you out of my sight." I sighed and said "I'm not leaving, Nana." He let out a big smile and patted my head gently before saying "That's a good girl." I stuck my tongue out at him as we headed to the sports hall where the game was going to be held. We found good seats that gave us a good view of the court, and the first person I spotted was Jaehyun Sunbae, in his No. 77 jersey and white Nike headband. Jaemin nudged me before saying "Stop smiling to yourself, you're creeping me out." I turned to him and tried to defend myself, but ended up a stuttering mess.

Jeno spotted us while he was warming up, and we waved which he reciprocated. Jaehyun Sunbae noticed us, and I unconsciously pulled my cap down. Jaehyun Sunbae waved to us as well, and many girls around us screamed while waving ecstatically, thinking that he was waving to them.

We screamed our voices hoarse during the game, shouting encouragements and cheers for our school team as they played ferociously against the rival team. We were tied to the last second, when Jaehyun Sunbae made an amazing three-point buzzer beater shot. The whole stadium erupted into cheers as our university won. I tapped Jaemin on the thigh and signalled to him that I would be leaving, and he said "Aren't you going to stay to congratulate Jeno?"

"And risk getting seen by Jaehyun Sunbae? No thank you. Plus." I pulled him closer to me and whispered into his ear "I'm gonna write a letter for Jaehyun Sunbae." He said "Ah...Okay, run along, be careful." I nodded and left, dropping Jeno a quick congratulatory text.

Jaehyun's POV

"Amazing shot, Jaehyun!" All my teammates cheered for me and gave me high fives. I smiled ecstatically, it always feels giddy to win game. I hope Y was here to see it.

After celebrating with my teammates in the locker room, my junior teammate Jeno came up to me and said "Hyung, Jaemin came too." I said "Really? Let's go see him. After that, Hyung will buy you guys some food." We went out to the bleachers to meet Jaemin, and he hugged me before saying "Congratulations, Hyung." I said "Thank you, Jaemin. Come on, Hyung will buy you guys dinner." We headed out of the hall and suddenly, "Oh! I need to grab my laptop from my locker, I'll meet you guys at the cafeteria." The two younger boys nodded and I made my way to my locker.

I was almost there, still smiling with the giddy feeling from the game, when I noticed someone decked out in black standing in front of my locker. Black baseball cap, crop top, ripped skinny jeans. Could it be?

"Y?" I saw her visibly stiffen, and she hurriedly turned and walked away quickly. I was about to run after her when I heard someone call out "Jaehyun Hyung!" I turned and saw one of my juniors, Chen Le. I said "Oh, Chen Le!" I turned back and saw that she was gone.

Shit, I missed her. Y's POV

I leaned against the wall as I put a hand over my chest. That was a heck of a close shave. Thank god.

achievement.

Y's POV

I hurriedly opened Jaehyun Sunbae's locker and froze in my tracks when I saw a black envelope with gold letters that read "Dear Y." He wrote me a letter...

I immediately snapped out of my trance when I heard chattering, hurriedly snatching the letter out and replacing it with the ivory white envelope. I shut his locker, before taking off quickly, heading towards my faculty. I couldn't help but clutch the letter tightly to my chest. Butterflies were fluttering in my stomach, and I can't help but wonder if this is the feeling that Jaehyun Sunbae gets when he sees my letter.

All of a sudden, I felt my wrist being grabbed and I was pulled behind a wall. I almost screamed, until I saw the familiar faces of my childhood friends - Jaemin and Jeno. I let out a sigh of relief and said "You guys scared me!" Jaemin asked "What are you doing here? You're clearly not from the Business Faculty." I said "I walked my roommate to her class...?" Jeno looked into my eyes skeptically while I avoided eye contact. Jeno shook his head while declaring "Liar. You didn't make eye contact. You do that when you're lying."

I sighed and said in defeat "Out with it. What do you guys know." Jaemin smiled triumphantly and said "Why not you tell us what you think we know?" I said "Jaemin!" Both Jaemin and Jeno laughed and the latter proposed "Let's talk over breakfast. I'm hungry. And no rejections, I know you don't have classes until 11AM." I sighed and let the two boys pull me to the cafeteria. I discreetly threw the letter into my tote bag, and they made me find a table while going to get our food.

We were halfway through our food, when Jaemin said "So. Jaehyun Hyung, huh?" I choked on my kimchi stew and Jeno patted my back gently. I feigned confusion "Huh? Jaehyun Sunbae?" Jeno said "We saw the letter. We recognise your handwriting. It isn't that hard to notice those tiny words." I said "No...?" Jaemin asked "I thought you were over him. When Jaehyun Hyung graduated, it seemed like both of you didn't keep in contact." I said "Yeah...We didn't." Jeno continued "But you never gave up on him?" I shook my head.

I said "I never forgot him. He doesn't know that I'm here, right?" Jeno shook his head and said "You did tell him you were going to Singapore. And you didn't tell him when you decided to stay." I said "Yeah..." Jaemin said "So. Back to the letter. Jaehyun Hyung has been so disappointed over the fact that you're not leaving your letters anymore." I sighed and said "I've been busy with training. Please help me keep this a secret, I don't want Jaehyun Sunbae to know that it's me yet."

They nodded and chimed "We promise." I laughed and checked my watch, which read '10.45AM'. I stood up and said "It's nice catching up with you boys, I've to get to class." Jaemin and Jeno decided to walk me to class, and they did.

After we parted ways, I received a text from Jeno saying 'Let's grab a coffee soon. We can study together!' I smiled and replied 'Sure :))'

After classes, I had a quick lunch before heading to the indoor sports hall for training.

The intensity of our training had recently been amped up because of the upcoming season, and after practice, I dragged my sore body back home and immediately hopped into the warm shower. I sighed as my muscles relaxed under the hot shower, and after my shower, I headed to the kitchen to make myself some food.

I was eating a simple fried rice, when I received a text. I picked my phone up and saw a text from Jeno.

Jeno: What are you doing tomorrow?

Y: nothing much, I don't have training, probably gonna stay home. what's up?

Jeno: Come to the match with Jaemin? I'm playing tomorrow. So is Jaehyun Hyung.

Y: is this an invitation for me to come see you or do you want me to see Jaehyun Sunbae? I swore I wouldn't show up in close proximity to him.

Another text came in from Jaemin, and it said:

Jaemin: I don't take no for an answer~ You're coming with me tomorrow, I'm gonna wait outside your classes and drag you there^^

Y: is that not kidnapping?

Jaemin: See you tomorrow~

At the same time, Jeno had dropped me a reply.

Jeno: Yes and no. See you tomorrow!

I sighed in defeat, giving in to their request.

After dinner, I headed to my room and pulled out the black envelope. Carefully peeling it open, I smiled when I saw Jaehyun Sunbae's familiar handwriting. Some things don't change.

dear y.

Thank you for your letters, your rose and your gummy bears. I can't help but wonder how you're so observant to notice that I hardly eat chocolates.

Rather than running for the hills from your letter, I've been anticipating receiving them in my locker ever since the first one. You're a real character, you know that? I really do appreciate the old-school experience of writing and receiving letters.

If you're reading this letter, thank you for coming back to my locker. I hope I receive another letter from you, it's been everything to me. it's been the only thing I've been thinking of.

Also, if it isn't too much to ask, will you come to my match? I know that I won't know that you're there, but it will make me happy that you came.

I can't wait to hear from you again, Y.

Yours Truly J.

P.s please drop some hints about who you are? It's been eating at me that I don't know who is behind the two sweet letters.

Jaehyun Sunbae...Likes my letters. Jaehyun Sunbae wants to know who I am.

I flopped onto my bed clutching the letter to my chest. Heck, this is one hell of an achievement.

Jaehyun's POV

Day 10 without a letter. Opening my locker was a dreadful chore now, constantly reminding me of the absence of an ivory white envelope sitting atop of my textbooks. I sighed, when I was faced with my empty locker yet again, and I just couldn't help but start to feel dejected. Maybe they really gave up.

I dragged my feet to practice where I met up with my teammates in the locker room. Johnny patted my back gently and asked "No letter again?" I nodded at him sadly and said "Maybe it's time for me to give up. Maybe they already gave up." Chen Le immediately piped up and said "Hyung, don't give up! It isn't like you to give up!" I said "But it's so agonising, Chen Le. Opening my locker to see it empty is so depressing." Jeno said "Give it some time, Hyung. At the same time, why not you try leaving a letter for her in your locker too? When she finally gives you the letter, she'll see yours. Maybe then, you can actually be able to have a conversation."

I immediately felt a surge of energy, and the tips of my lips curled up into a huge smile. I exclaimed "Oh my god, Jeno! You're so smart, why didn't I think of that?" He looked at me, wide-eyed, and stuttered "B- But I didn't say anything much...?" I said "Oh my god, you did me such a huge favour, Jeno!" I didn't notice it in my little ball of happiness and excitement, but the boys were giving each other puzzling looks.

I started scoring more balls during practice, and everyone could notice that my condition was at its peak in the last week. My coach said "Jaehyun, you're doing a fantastic job today. Keep it up, and we will have a chance at winning the championship!" I nodded happily. After practice, I said fast and short goodbyes before heading home immediately.

Throwing myself into the shower quickly, I washed up and immediately sat at my study table. Picking up a pen, I started to pen my letter to Y.

...Which wasn't easy at all. I can't remember how many times I've crumpled the letter in my hands, and threw it behind me. I sighed, burying my head into my crossed arms. I'll never be able to pen this letter.

Suddenly, "Hyung, what's the matter? What's with the mess here?" I said "Jungwoo, I give up. I'll never be able to write a letter..." He asked "What letter are you writing?" While taking a seat next to me. I said "Jaemin told me that I should write a reply to them. I'm trying to write it, but everything's so weird." Jungwoo shook his head and said "Hyung, you can literally write gibberish and girls will fall to your feet. I think they went through a lot to pen the first letter too, it's normal. Just don't be too creepy and ask her for her mobile number or ask you to meet her. Might be a little too early for that. Just be nice. And most importantly, be yourself."

I nodded and said "Be myself. Thanks Jungwoo." He smiled and replied "I'm glad to be of help, Hyung. Now write your letter while I clean up your mess."

Picking my pen up, I took in a deep breath and started to write my very own letter. When I was done, it immediately hit me. "Shit, I don't have an envelope. Jungwoo-" I stopped mid-sentence when I saw Jungwoo raising a stack of black envelopes and a marker. He smiled and said "I thought you would need it when I went to the store off campus after classes today."

I said "In my favourite colour too! Jungwoo, you're such a life saviour. I owe you one." He handed me the black envelopes and a gold marker, before saying "A meal will be good, thank you Hyung." I laughed and said "Anything you want, Jungwoo."

I carefully folded up the letter and slid it into the black envelope and sealing it. Flipping it over, in my best handwriting, I wrote "Dear Y." on the back.

The next morning, Jungwoo and I headed to school much earlier than usual, and left the letter in my locker before heading to grab breakfast.

I hope you'll like it, Y.

Jaehyun's POV

For the past week, I've been returning home completely disappointed because the letters seemed to have stopped. I have resorted to moping around the house, sulking while panicking internally as to why. Was it because they thought I didn't like it? Was it because they gave up? Were they expecting a reply?

"Earth to Jaehyun!" I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to see Taeil, one of my friends who shared the same dorm. I asked "Oh, Hyung, sorry I didn't hear you. What is it?" Taeil sighed and said "I asked. If you want to grab dinner with the boys." I nodded and said "Okay, sure." I changed into a black t-shirt and a pair of jeans before heading out to join Yuta, Taeil, Mark and Jungwoo in the living room.

We headed out of the campus to a nearby restaurant to have dinner. The other boys were already there, and we were separated into 3 different groups as we were too big of a group. I sat with the younger boys, mainly the 00' liners and Mark. "Hyung." I looked up and saw Mark looking at me worriedly. He said "What's up? You've been stirring the cola for the past 10 minutes." I shook my head and said "It's nothing really..."

Should I tell them? Maybe I should, they might know them...

I said "I received letters in my locker." They looked at me with anticipation and I continued "It's always in an ivory white envelope, with an embossed "dear j." on the front. I received the first one about 2 weeks ago, and the second one was there last week on my birthday. It's been a week and there hasn't been any letters..."

Donghyuck looked absolutely excited, and said in English "Oh my god, tea!" I looked at him, absolutely confused as I had no idea what he meant by 'tea'. I asked "Tea? Like green tea?" He shook his head and repeated himself in English "Tea! Like spill tea!" I looked at Mark for help and Jeno said "Now where did you learn these weird things from again?" Donghyuck let out an annoyed sigh and said "Oh my god. Hyung, I thought you lived in America for 4 years? You don't keep up with the American internet?"

I shook my head and he said "It's gossip. Drama you know, Hyung? Interesting things." I shook my head and said "God, you learn some weird things sometimes, Hyuck."

Jaemin said "Can we see the letters, Hyung?" I nodded and said "Come over later." After dinner, all of us headed back to my dorm and I decided that I should tell everyone so they could keep a lookout for me.

Everyone was gathered in the living room, and I brought out the first letter that I ever received from Y. I said "So...I've been receiving letters in my locker, can you guys see if you recognise it?" The letter was passed around from the oldest members to the youngest, and when it reached Jaemin, I realised that he had his eyebrows raised.

I asked "Jaemin, do you recognise the writing?" He was taken aback by my question and answered "Huh? No, Hyung, sorry I don't." I sighed and said "I wonder if I'll ever find her...She stopped putting the letters in my locker since my birthday."

Jaemin's POV

Jeno and I were walking back to our own dorm when he nudged me and said "You've been ridiculously quiet ever since you saw Jaehyun Hyung's letter. Are you alright?"

I said "I might have an inkling." He immediately raised his eyebrows and said "Really? Do I know them?" I nodded and said "We know her. A little too well, Jeno." His brows furrowed and I know he was thinking hard. I sighed and said "Think harder, Jeno."

We walked in silence, and suddenly "Oh my god." Jeno stopped in his tracks and I said "Got it now?" He nodded and said "It's her...? She never seemed to be someone who would send such letters, Jaemin." I shook my head and said "Sometimes, we never know someone deep enough, Jeno. I've never seen her in love, Jaehyun Hyung might be her first.”

appreciation

Y's POV

I can't believe I got 100 envelopes embossed with "dear j.". I swear it was supposed to be a one time thing! But oh wells, since I already have 100 pieces of the damn envelopes, I should commit myself to not wasting them.

I started writing the letter that I was going to put in Jaehyun Sunbae's locker. Nope, too cringey. Nope, too creepy. No, what the hell am I writing?! "Woah woah woah! What's going on in here?" I turned and saw my roommate standing at the entrance to our room. She exclaimed "What is going on in here? There are balls of crumpled paper everywhere!" I rolled my eyes and said "Don't exaggerate, I literally only threw 5." She said "5?! Why not you turn around and look around you?"

I let out an exasperated sigh and turned, my eyes widening at the sight of over 10 crumpled balls of paper lying around the room. She asked with a raised eyebrow "Exaggerating, you say? 5, you say?" I sighed and said "I'm sorry." She sat next to me and said "What are you doing? Ooh! Nice envelopes!" She took one and ran her fingers over the embossed "dear j.". She said "Dear J? Oh my god, is this for Jaehyun Sunbae?"

I nodded and said "Now help me. I don't want to seem creepy in my first letter, I don't want to scare him off." She said "Just be generic in your first letter, that way, it can be from anyone. But throw in some human elements in there. Give him a taste of your humour!" I started to write, and while I was doing so, she asked "Why are you giving him letters anyway? Love letters are so yesterday."

I shook my head and said "You won't understand. He appreciates old school. Back when we were in high school, girls often saved up money to buy him vinyl discs, because he liked old school. He has a record player that he loved." She asked carefully "You know Jaehyun Sunbae...? From high school? It seems like you guys were close, you know a lot about him."

I said "We were on the same student council, I was a freshman while he was about to graduate. I was put on the prom planning committee which he was in-charge of as the President of the student council. We spent a lot of time together." She sat silently for a moment before saying "Then why are you writing letters to him? You know him, can't you just confess straight up?"

I shook my head and said "I haven't been in contact with Jaehyun Sunbae since he graduated. It's been 3 years, I doubt he actually remembers me. And also, what if he rejects me straight up? I won't be able to show my face in school anymore."

She shook her head and said "So. How are you going to know if he has a good reaction to your letters or not? You're not in the Business Faculty. You're pretty far away, I have to say." I looked at her with my best puppy eyes and asked "I was going to ask you for a favour. Can you keep a lookout for me?" She sighed and said "Fine." I hugged her tightly and exclaimed "You're the best!"

She said "Okay, that's enough. Finish writing your letter." I giggled and continued the write the letter happily. She shook her head and said "God gave you a pretty face, an amazing brain, great athletic ability, but took away your balls, huh. You're such a monster on court but when it comes to love, you become a little lost bird looking for mama. How hopeless."

I said "But you love me anyways." She ruffled my hair and said "I would say I tolerate you, but sure. Finish up your letter while I clean up your mess. I want to sleep soon." I nodded and said "Thank you~"

Carefully folding the letter, I placed it into the envelope and sealed it up. Jaehyun Sunbae, I hope you'll appreciate this.

excitement.

Jaehyun's POV

It's been a week since the letter. There hasn't been another one.

I spun around in my computer chair while my roommate, Jungwoo, said "Hyung, what is it? You've been sighing and spinning for the past hour, please tell me what's wrong." I turned my head and looked at Jungwoo while asking "Can you keep a secret?" He scoffed and said "A secret? Of course, Hyung! Who do you think I am? Donghyuck?" I rolled my chair over to my bag and warned "You better keep this a secret. If I hear anyone asking about this letter, I will strangle you, Kim Jungwoo."

He gave me a salute and said loudly "Yes, Sir!" I chuckled and pulled out the pristine envelope that I carried around in my bag. I handed it to Jungwoo, and I saw his eyes open widely. I said "Do you recognise this envelope? "He said "Huh? No, I don't, Hyung. Just surprised that a secret admirer would go as far as embossing your name on the envelope. Printing one piece wouldn't be cheap." I nodded and said "Precisely. But it's been a week. There hasn't been another letter."

He asked cautiously "Can I read it?" I nodded and he read it and said "Y? Do you have an idea who it is?" I shook my head and said "The only Y I know is Yuta Hyung." Jungwoo laughed and said "Or YangYang. But that's not false. But it seems like such a generic letter, it can be from anyone, Hyung." I sighed and said "Precisely...And it seems like the person isn't writing anymore, Jungwoo. Do you think they gave up?"

Jungwoo said "Maybe she's just scared. You should wait for tomorrow, Hyung. It's your birthday and Valentine's Day, I'm 2000% sure that they will give you a letter." I sighed and said "I hope so."

The next day, after our classes, Jungwoo came over to the Faculty of Business from his faculty so we could grab dinner and head back to our dorm. He was already at my locker when I turned the corner from my lecture hall, and I waved at him. He waved back, and as I approached him, I received many birthday wishes from people. I thanked them and I could feel my heart beating faster as I approached my locker step by step.

I opened my locker excitedly and Jungwoo said "Hyung, my bag is full of chocolates. Your locker should be overflowing." I laughed and said "Unfortunately it isn't." There was a stack of chocolate, and I took each of them out. As each box landed in Jungwoo's hands with no sight of the ivory white envelope, my heart fell as the stack dwindled.

I let out a dejected sigh and Jungwoo patted my back with his free hand and said "Maybe tomorrow, Hyung." When I lifted the last box of chocolate, I smiled when I saw the ivory white envelope, stuck on a bag of gummy bears and an unfortunately flattened rose. Jungwoo gasped and said "I told you!" I grabbed them and placed them into my bag carefully. I said "I'll open it at home."

We headed out for dinner, and went back to our dorm.

"Happy Birthday, Jaehyun!" I gasped as my friends hopped out from their different hiding places in our dorm. Everyone started singing 'happy birthday', while Taeyong and Doyoung walked out from the kitchen with a birthday cake. When the song ended, everyone chanted "손을 맞대, 손을 맞대, 손을 맞대 now make a wish!" Ever since Taeyong composed that song for one of his assignments, it was a chant that we used constantly during birthdays.

I placed my hands together and closed my eyes, wishing in my heart that I will find Y.

I blew out my candles and everyone cheered. We sat down and had cake, it was a small one for all 23 of us, but it was the small delights in life. Johnny announced loudly "Everyone!" We all turned and saw Johnny holding up cans of beer. He said "Let's crack our cans open! We're only having one each tonight because there's still classes tomorrow and we have to be responsible." Lucas and Johnny handed out cans of beer excitedly while we drank and chatted.

After the boys went home, I was finally able to take a shower and sat down on my bed. Jungwoo was already fast asleep, being the lightweight that he was. I pulled out the familiar ivory white envelope that I had grown a connection and attachment too and thumbed the embossed "dear j." .

I opened the envelope, and as I unfolded the letter, the familiar handwriting jumped out at me.

dear j.

Happy birthday to the one and only Valentine's boy~

I hope you have / had a wonderful birthday celebration with your friends.

Getting chocolates was so mainstream so I decided to get you some gummy bears instead! Seeing you around school, I've only witnessed you eating gummy bears so I thought these would be a better choice.

Hopefully by the time you get to this letter my rose hasn't been crushed yet. I hope you haven't ran for the hills because of my first letter, so hopefully you're reading this too.

well, I should go get some sleep before my roommate screams at me, here's the end of my letter, J!

once again, wishing you a happiest birthday, may your year be filled with happiness and good health :)) oh! and may all your wishes come true! hope you had an amazing Valentine’s Day with the lucky one you’ve chosen :)

Yours Truly

I twirled the rose in my hand, petals flattened unfortunately by all the chocolate boxes. Even though it looked sad, it was still oh so vibrant in my hands.

I hope my wish comes true too.

i really wished to see actor Jaehyun on Dear M, and wrote this while waiting for its airing date. now it really seems like not coming, so here’s a story for everyone to imagine actor Jaehyun in!

Jaehyun's POV

"Hey, Jae!" I turned around and saw one of my best friends, Johnny, running up to me. I said "Hey, Johnny." He slapped my back and asked "Where are you going after this? Should we grab some lunch before practice?" I nodded and said "I'll catch you at the cafeteria in a bit." Johnny nodded, before running off with a quick "See ya later!"

I chuckled, turning to my locker and unlocking it. To be very honest, the lockers were one of the factors that had me drawn to this school. It isn't everyday you see lockers in a university. I was about to place my textbook on top of the others, when I saw an ivory white envelope that had 'dear j.' embossed in cursive.

I grabbed it and quickly placed it into my bag, before grabbing my gym bag and headed to the cafeteria. I entered the cafeteria and saw Johnny and Mark sitting at one of the tables. They waved and I went over to join them. I said "Hey, Mark, hey Johnny." while sitting down. Mark said "Hyung, are you not gonna grab food? Coach said that today's practice was going to be intense to prepare for our upcoming game."

I said "I'm thinking about what to eat..." Both Johnny and Mark laughed, and Mark said "What a mood." I got up and headed to the ordering tablet before ordering a beef bibimbap and an Iced Americano. I went to collect my food when my buzzer vibrated in my hand, and went back to the table. I ate in silence, and after that we headed to practice.

3 hours of practice, a filling dinner and a hot shower later, I finally sat down at my study table. Sinking into my comfortable computer chair, I let out a relaxed sigh. Closing my eyes, I suddenly saw the image of the letter and jumped. The letter. I unzipped my school bag, pulling out everything until I found the ivory white envelope. Pulling it out, I ran my hand over the embossed "dear j." on the front. Curiously but carefully, I opened the envelope and started reading the letter.

dear j.

I know this is very creepy, but if you happen to be reading this, at least you haven't thrown my letter away!

I just wanted to tell you that you are an absolutely admirable guy, and that I am absolutely jealous at how you manage to juggle your love for basketball and your love for your degree in business.

I just want to wish you all the best for the new school year, and good luck for the upcoming basketball season! please remember to take care of yourself while you're practicing too!

Yours Truly

P.S this is really embarrassing, I swear I'm not a stalker...Please don't hate me...

I chuckled at the adorable letter and said to no one in particular "It is creepy, but how adorable. Thank you." I thumbed the embossed "dear j." while running my hand over the written 'Y' on the letter.

Who are you, Y?
