"ahem- is this on? i feel so shy right now, help-" areum muttered to herself before clearing her throat, unsure of what to do. she's sat in her room, with a camera recording in attempt to film a video message to her significant other. feb 22 00:00 glowed softly from the corner of her phone screen, the numbers almost unreal. six months.

areum has already filmed three times. the first time, she laughed too much. the second time, she got shy halfway through and hid her face. and the third, she almost cried before she even started talking.

hey, sometimes fourth time's the charm.

she sat cross-legged on the floor, the room bathed in the amber hush of her beside lamp. she wore teo's clothing — the charcoal one he'd left behind weeks ago. the sleeves slipping past her hands. it still smelled faintly of his cologne, warm and familiar. "is this how you felt when you made a video for me, baby?" she lets out a chuckle, the video replaying in her mind briefly of when he asked her to be her girlfriend.

"hi, my lover. happy six months." her voice comes out soft, a smile curving her lips. the words lingered between her and the lens. six months — both fleeting and impossibly vast. as if she'd known him in another lifetime and only just found him again. "six months ago, i didn't know you were going to change my life. i thought you were just.. charming and honestly devastatingly handsome." her eyes narrowed playfully. "the kind of man who looks at a girl like she's something rare." a soft laugh escaped her lips.

"and then you kept looking at me like that."

her expression shifted — not sad, not quite tearful, but tender.

"you've seen me tired. you've seen me overwhlemed. you've seen me in my dramatic state." she lifted a brow playfully. "but you've also seen me scared. and you stayed." her fingers moved absently over the cuff of his sweater, thumb tracing the seam. "thank you for choosing me. even when i'm quiet. even when i overthink. even when i present i don't need reassurance but absolutely do."

she leaned a little closer to the phone, as if closing the distance between them through sheer will.

"i love how safe you make me feel. i love that you listen. i love that you tease me when i take myself too seriously. i love the way your voice softens when you're tired. i love how your hand finds mine without you even realizing you're doing it." her eyes shimmered, but she didn't look away.

"i don't know what the next six months will look like," she said gently. "or the next year. or the next ten. but if i get to grow beside you... i'll be very lucky." a quiet pause settled in the space between her breaths.

"and just so you know," she added, a spark returning to her gaze, "i fully expect a proper celebration when we hit one year. this is your warning." her smile widened — mischievous. then her voice softened again, lowering into something that felt like a secret meant only for him. "teo, you are my favourite person. my calm place. my adventure. my home."

for a heartbeat, she simply looked at him or at the palce where he would be when watched this later.

"happy six months. i love you more than i knew i was capable of loving someone."

𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒔 mika ♥.

hi, lover. it’s november 30th!! a pretty significant day and the reason for our little (grand) trip to switzerland. it’s our 100 days of being together, the happiest 100 days of my life (10 years actually) ㅋ i’m already blabbering and i’m not even halfway my letter yet.

when we first met, i didn’t expect you to mean so much to me. how’d we literally go from us being invested in other people to you being my literal whole world. with that saying, i will choose you every single time.

i think us having a drink together was the beginning of it all. instead of the usual talk about life and laugh and unwind — we shared our embarrassing situationship stories. surprisingly, i was so open about it when i never vocal about that part of my life to someone i just started talking to but you felt strangely easy to talk to. who would have imagined that you will become someone so important in my life because then suddenly we were talking almost everyday (if not, i’m itching to talk to you and having to stop myself from messaging too much). you became “the first person i update about everything.”

texts in the morning and facetime here and there as you were always on the go (now i’m on the go with you) and sharing what each other’s meals are of the day (CHEESE FRIES) !!! we continued to learn more about each other. you continued to surprise me in many ways and never failed to make me laugh so much. honestly, i already knew you were going to be special to me regardless because you knew niki—like how crazy is that i find another person that loves niki just as much as i do!!! even 10x better now that you’re mine, my boyfriend. baby, i’m so bad with letters because my brain goes mush :(

okay let me stop going on a chronological order ㅋ that’s a story for the grandkids ㅋㅋ

mika, being with you feels so steady - you never push, you never rush and you’re always so patient with me. thank you for the little check-ins, the careful attention and the way you look at me like you’re memorizing something important. i don’t know when it happened, but somewhere along the way, you became the person whose presence feels like home. you never fail to make me feel so so loved and secure in your arms.

baby, thank you you for being gentle with me and for loving me the way you do - loud (&proud), warm and real.

also, thank you for letting me spend thanksgiving with you and your family. one of the happiest memories i’ll cherish forever. everyone was so wonderful and i’m glad to have bonded with everyone and especially mini mimi.

i love you, mika. you’re my favourite part of all of them.

love, your one and only areum ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡.

ps. i was listening to nov 30 interlude the entire time i was writing this letter to you. okay, well i was listening to the entire playlist you made for me when you asked me to be yours. a little sentimental on my side.
