✎: My muse’s Christmas card to yours.
It was most likely the perfect gift, wasn’t it? Seeing as it was the only one that he’d be able to actually see and read. Which did not mean she thought anything else wouldn’t please him, but seriously she only saw the card and once she’d bought it with the mindset of just giving it to him, realised how she’d never actually bothered to even get a card for anyone before.
Because well—sure things, holidays cards were a thing when you handed out gifts. But Hyeri just never found any use in them? She could just tell them what was in it and that was it, couldn’t she? They could hear her talk and blabber on non stop without being able to pause her. A thing most of them would most likely be thankful to him for successfully doing, shutting her up.
So it was the intentions behind the card—gift that mattered. Intentions being that she wanted to hand him something that just meant something, that showed that she cared about him enough to sit down and write a bunch of words instead of saying them all to his face. Not talking was so unbearable, Christ, he had to like pay her for all the effort.
Which she quickly jolted down in the card as well.
Hey, hey, Dear Jack in the box,
It’s your favourite classmate, I know I am, there’s no use denying it with that ironic stare of yours I know I am!!! If you deny it I will literally tear your eyes out you lil’ shit. God this is why I can’t write anything, I end up having to strike a lot of things because even through writing my filter doesn’t work. So you’ll get it all raw and rough, okay?
I’m petty sure you’re used to it anyway. You are right? everyone gets used to it. Did I ever mention that I can’t stop talking and that doing it with you is like some sort of miracle that everyone who knows me would let you know you’ve accomplished?? I need money, where’s my pay. This is a job. BUT THIS IS NOT THE POINT. the point is, this is a christmas gift, or something like that. To show or tell you how amazing of a friend you’ve been, but that’d be lying. Half lying, but you know I love you, right, right???
There’s also the fact that I might or might not have only started growing some interest in you because you couldn’t hear me god. this is awful. I’ll stop before I say anything else awfully insensitive again.
MERRY CHRISTMAS. even if it’s not merry for you, tell me you had a merry christmas anyway or I will throw a punch, I swear I will. I HOPE YOU GET MANY MANY GIFTS. but none better than mines. not that I will give you anything.
Whatever you’ll survive, unless you like surprises, do you?
again enjoy the holidays, I’ll most likely see you once it’s over and oh I might be even better at sign languages when we’re back in school because I WILL PUT ALL MY STRENGTH INTO LEARNING IT DURING THIS WHOLE FREE TIME PERIOD. No I will not study.
There, that was it. With some of the words scribbled tight together due to lack of space. She made sure to hand it to him right before the end of class right before they were going their separate ways at the gates, she ran the opposite way but not without mentioning that, You can only open it once you get home! Written quickly inside of the notebook she took to carrying around in case signing turned out to be too hard for her and with the page torn and handed back to him.
