Chapter Text
Dear Jaebum,
It's your new friend Jinyoung! I'm really happy that we started talking in class last week. It was nice to make a new friend this year.
I would have never thought that we would have been friends. I mean if you look at the two of us, you're far more popular than I could ever be, and most people don't even know who I am. I mean you're cool, funny, athletic, and smart. I'm just smart, and often too quiet for anyone to notice me. But I was so surprised when you commented on the book I was reading.
I know it's stereotypical, but with you being so popular and athletic I just didn't peg you for a reader. But we actually have similar tastes in books, and that's so cool.
Hmmm... That might come off weird and kind of mean, and I don't want it to. So maybe I won't give you this note. I don't want you to misunderstand what I'm trying to say. I just think you're so cool and I'm just amazed that a simple conversation about books could make you want to be friends with me.
I'm really happy that you do though, because I really like hanging out with you and your friends. Mark and Jackson are both athletic like you so I can see how you became friends with them, but Mark can also be really quiet (unlike Jackson, but that's okay. He's really nice.) so I think he and I will get along really well also.
It's been really nice to get to hang out with people and get away from the library for a change. But maybe I can show you my favorite spot in there sometime, and show you some of my favorite books.
I know I changed my mind about giving you this note, but now I just can't stop writing to you even though you won't ever read this one. I guess I can stop here and try again later or in a few days and hopefully not make a mess of the next note. Haha well, I'll see you at lunch then. Bye Jaebum!
Sincerely,
Park Jinyoung
P.S. I wonder how many Jinyoungs you know... Did I need to include my surname? Oh well. Bye!
