//Hey Karen, just the mun reminding you that you're loved. On a personal level. Not just by my boys. You and your mun mean the world to me.

"Thank you." Karen smiles a little. "We needed this. Mun's just going through somethings." She nods. "We feel the same about you!"

A majestuous box, neatly wrapped in white paper with a ribbon made of soft satin. A special delivery for Shiraishi Mai, one that would be personally handed to her at her place : the instructions were clear. With the box would be found a white envelope, her name handwritten on it. His handwritting, neat and elegant, was rare to be seen it as the male was only using it for special and official occasions. 

❝ Ma Lune.

Is there a smile on your beautiful face right now?

I hope there is because no matter how far I am from you, I picture you smiling and it gives me more strength to go through the day. I wish I was there with you, I wish I was there to wish you a Happy White Day. So, my Love, while reading those words I hope you can imagine my voice pronouncing them to you.“

{ x }

” Red was valentine’s day, for all the burning passion and devotion and insane desire. White is for the innocence of the love I have for you, a kind of love I never experienced before, an ingenuous and troubling one  : everytime I look at you, everytime I am with you, my feelings are the feelings of a man who never loved this way before - The feelings of a man who would blindly abandon everything he owns for you. They are pure beauty, angelic, majestic, just like you my Mai.“

{ x }

” Strawberries wrapped in white chocolate with sugar pearls. I do hope they are exquisite enough. I’m dreaming of being the one to feed you with them. What if a little pearl of sugar loses its way at the corner of your lips? Mine would take care of it.“

{ x } { x } 

" Sunflower seed macarons with white chocolate and almonds.  I wanted the best for you so I tasted a lot of different macarons from all the grandes Maisons I could think of, those ones are from Maison Ladurée, I hope they will taste delicious enough for you, my ambrosial woman. (If I disappear… you know it’s because I died from diabetes hah.) 

{ x } 

” And finally, gold and a single pearl for you, my Love. I cannot help myself, it’s not the first time I offer you a necklace, yes? It’s because I am obsessed with your neck, so obsessed. I want to see the purity of that one pearl on the purity of your fair skin. And so, my fingers and lips won’t resist that temptation.

I am a day late for White Day, which is unusual for me. Do you know why? Because I did spent the night wanting to catch the moon for you. “Isn’t it a little bit C of you to say that?” - you would tell me. It’s not, I’m only stating the truth. I spent my whole life thinking I just had to stand and say my name to have anything I wanted. With time, I soon realized that the most precious things are worthy to fight for, hard, harder, everyday. The most precious things have to be contemplated, admired - they have to be cherished - they have to be treasured. I will keep trying, every single day, I will become the man who will be able to catch that moon for you.

Mai, you deserve all the wonders of this universe because you are the most wonderful of them all.

Happy White Day, Lune de mes nuits.

I adore you. ❞

Mai would recognize that kind of wrapping and ribbon everywhere, anywhere. A kind of wrapping that instantly took her back to just a couple of months ago. Memories still vivid in her mind. Her fingers reached for the envelope first with delicacy, pulling out the letter inside, a neat and very elegant handwriting welcoming her sight. Needless to say that her name was not written in kanji, hence, his handwriting stood out more than usual. The corners of her lips, however, curled even wider at each one of his words of the letter, a sense of warmness and the more blissful joy rushing through her. Each word, she read them to herself while her mind just imagined his enthralling voice pronouncing them to her, as if he was next to her.

Of course that there was a smile in her face. One of the fondest and brightest of her smiles. An effect only him, his words and details had on her. 

Then her big and hazel pupils turned to set on the precious bouquet of white roses laying next to the box. Pure, innocent white. Looking wonderfully precious. Just like their love was. Mai’d always stare in amazement the way with words he had to voice out her own feelings as well she was at a loss of words. He was the only being that could leave her speechless when she always had something to say. 

At the same time she continued reading the letter, she unwrapped the box, almost sorry for doing that since it was such a perfect and neatly wrapped box, smile still present on her lips as she discovered the other presents in the box. Surely, she was also dreaming of him feeding the exquisite strawberries to her, just like in Paris. How well he knew her, that one of her favorite macaron flavors was chosen. He even knew without telling her. One of her favorite flavors and favorite Maison. However, a small laughter passed through her lips at such amusing remark. She’d probably die from diabetes too from the sweets... ! 

And when she reached the last small box inside the bigger one and as well the last part of the letter, she didn’t know what else was of her anymore. Heart pounding hard in her chest, and an intense feeling of wanting to see him in that moment. And the marvelous necklace, she’d wait for him to put it around her neck. Mai knew he’d love to do that, just like he did with the first necklace he offered, back in Christmas. 

Knowing that she couldn’t see him that day, she opted for calling him instead of sending a very not personal email. If they couldn’t see each other, at least hearing his voice would be enough or in case he was busy, her voice would do the rest. Of course, she was right and the first thing she heard was his voice through the voicemail. Even such a formal thing to say, made her smile simply because it was his voice. 

“ My love. My everything. I’m sure you are working hard, struggling with those young and old sharks. I’m sure you can handle all of that. First of all. I love you so much...” Her voice sounded low but extremely tender and soft. “ I know you knew that but how much I love saying it because it’s true. I’m afraid I’ll keep this short because I’d rather say other many things in person but each one of your words in your letter sure reached me. Each one of your feelings in your words did. Also, I didn’t think of the C word at first but just sweet and perfect. Thank you for everything, for taking time for giving me such a wonderful surprise and for your love, especially your love. Ma raison d’être.

My beautiful being,

I think it’s time for me to show you. Yes, I can’t escape any longer. And hah yes, you already know what this is about. I had troubles deciding which ones I should send first but to open the ball, I think I picked the most… unmaly ones, with some marvelous flowers in the background that actually make it worse. Those were taken by a friend  - I’m sorry for the bad quality, he actually used his phone back then if my memory isn’t playing me. I think the second one is blurry because I realized I was being photographied and probably tried to hide my face in vain.

[ subject → you are so dramatic. ]

“ Oh. Oh. How of a beautiful surprise this is !! I wasn’t expecting these so soon. Sweet lord, you are such a drama queen. I love you so much. Hold on– You have manly ones with this fabulous hair color? God. You piqued my interest. I believe flowers enhance that “unmaliness” you mentioned. If we had met in high school, I wouldn’t have probably even looked your way with this yellow hue, my Love. But because I was such a queen bee back then. Though, looking at it now, it is not that bad, hah. Hm. I love your black hair better, always.
