Chapter Text
eunsang just entered the class as junho quickly greets him, "eunsang! look!" junho pointed out the letter and the candy on eunsang's table.
it's day six of this secret admirer of eunsang giving him a letter and a candy.
eunsang smiles upon seeing the letter and the candy on his table as he quickly unwraps the candy and ate it. sweet.
junho continue to observe eunsang, "what are you doing? hurry up! open the letter! i want to read it!"
eunsang hisses, "not this time, dumbass. don't you remember? in yesterday's letter, the admirer told me to not let you read from now because they are embarrassed of it."
junho pouts as he crosses his arms over his chest, "huh? but i've been reading the letters for five days straight! and it's not like i will tell everyone about the content. and also, everyone in the whole school knows about you receiving this letter! eunsang, please?"
eunsang shakes his head, "no. this is a letter for me only. for lee eunsang only. now, the class will start in thirty minutes and i'm gonna go out and have a quick breakfast and read this letter. bye!" eunsang said as he quickly leaves the classroom, so junho wouldn't follow him from behind.
"good morning, lee eunsang. i hope your friend doesn't read today's letter. :(
anyways, i hope you like today's candy! it's my personal favourite actually, and not everyone like the taste of it.
for today's letter, i just wanted to tell you that i really like your cover of 2002 you uploaded on twitter last night!
i just... i hope i can actually tell you who i am but i am really, really shy. :(
i don't have much to say for today's letter... hehe, thank you for still keeping up with the letters, i hope you still keep all the letters i' ve been sending you since day one!
yours truly, M."
"M?" eunsang said out loud as he munches down the bread he's holding.
eunsang sighs, as he relaxes his body on the bench, "i wonder if the M comes from their actual name or just.... random but, i hope i get to meet you sooner, M."
the next day.
again, as usual. letter, and a box of cookies this time sitting peacefully on eunsang's table with junho observing the letter from the outside.
"junho! what are you doing?!" eunsang said as he snatches the letter away from junho's hand.
"i was just trying to read it from the outside!"
eunsang frowns, "i told you to not read it!"
junho pouts, "i'm bored, okay! and i didn't get to read anything since your admirer writes so lightly that there's no pen or pencil marks on the paper!"
eunsang just sits down as he looks at the cookies.
as soon as eunsang opens up the cookies box, junho quickly steals one as he ate it right away, "it's good!"
eunsang smells the cookies, observing every details of the cookie, "this looks like homemade. like, someone actually made it. not store bought."
junho just shakes his head, "so? it's just a cookie. go eat it, it's good."
eunsang ate the cookie, as smiles slowly appear on his face, "i like it."
junho laughs as he looks at eunsang's face, "bro, you're so whipped over a cookie."
eunsang's smiling face quickly turns into a sour one as he hits junho with a book, "shut up, will you?"
during class, eunsang can't help but to think of yesterday's letter.
M, just M. who is M? who can possibly be M?
eunsang sighs, as he excuses himself to go to the toilet to clear his mind.
he sits down on top of the toilet as he opens up the letter,
"eunsang! you're so so cute like... i swear my heart can't handle your cuteness. :( you really just uploaded THREE selfies T_T
anyways, i hope you like the cookies! i made it yesterday together with my mother. my mother is a baker, and she owns a bakery too somewhere near the school.
oops, too much information. but i'm not afraid since there are like over four bakeries around the school area. hehehe, so just in case you want to eat the cookies again, try to find the bakery, okay?
anyways, i was bored last night so i made a poem for you.
"whenever I see you smiling,
my heart automatically beating fast.
I don't know how but,
I hope I get to see you smiling more,
even more than before."
ah that's a bad one! sorry </3 please look forward for tomorrow's letter and also, maybe another cookie. :)
yours truly, MI."
"MI? is this person gonna reveal their name one by one?" eunsang said slowly as he exits the toilet cubicle, making his way back to the class.
school finally ends, as eunsang and junho fixes their stuffs on their table.
"junho, are you busy after this?"
"why?"
"i-i want to go to the nearby bakery around here."
junho eyes him, "don't tell me.. is it because of the cookies? the admirer? oh my god! they finally told you who they are?"
"w-what?! no! they didn't! just, i just.. i just want to find this cookie, okay?! it's good!"
junho shrugs, "i don't believe you, but fine. i can accompany you."
"r-really?" eunsang smiles at him.
"yeah, just don't smile at me, bro. disgusting." junho said as the two quickly leaves the class.
"oh my god! i'm tired, eunsang!" junho said as he stops walking.
the two have been walking around blocks by blocks, buying cookies continuously but none of the cookies taste so close to the one he received today.
"just one more! we've been to three bakeries, just one more, junho! please?"
junho frowns, "fine! i know one bakery that's like very close to the school. it's like a cafe too, and let's just stop everything and rest there."
eunsang smiles as he hugs junho, "thank you! thank you! this is why you're my friend!"
junho pushes eunsang off from his body, "shut up! and let's go already!"
as soon as eunsang and junho enters the bakery cafe, they were greeted by their loud class rep, minhee at the cashier counter.
"oh? minhee?" junho said as he goes to the cashier counter.
minhee smiles at both eunsang and junho, "hey eunsang, junho. you guys ordering something?"
junho was just about to order when eunsang cuts him off first, "do you guys have cookies here?"
junho and minhee looks at eunsang, as they were /kinda/ speechless over his question.
junho slaps his own forehead, "eunsang, this is a bakery. of course they have cookies here!"
minhee chuckles, "yeah, we have cookies here. what kind of cookies do you want specifically? we have a lot."
eunsang takes out the cookie box from his bag, as he gives one to minhee, "taste it. do you have cookies like that here?"
minhee takes the cookie from eunsang's hand as he ate it, "oh... this is our top homemade cookies."
eunsang smiles, nodding like a child, "oh really? then i would like to buy three boxes of it."
"three? dude, that's a lot?" junho looks at eunsang confusedly.
"so? it's the admirer's fault for making me falling in love with the cookie. anyways minhee, three boxes okay?"
minhee smiles back at him, "okay. anything else?"
junho and eunsang proceed to order as they settled down while drinking their drinks.
the next morning, eunsang enters the classroom smiling with a cookie box in his hand, as his smiles suddenly disappear when he arrives at his table.
no letter.
no candy.
no cookie.
nothing.
eunsang just pouted as he sits down, still looking at his empty table.
he's not used to the emptiness.
does the admirer knows how much the letters means to him? that whenever he's back home, eunsang would always read it before sleep.
eunsang sighs, as he just continue pouting, and /sulking/ until lunch break came.
eunsang has been staring at the sky, when someone suddenly covers his eyes from behind.
"oh! junho? is that you?"
the person giggled as he shows himself in front of eunsang.
there he is.
minhee.
the boy eunsang used to like.
"ahh.. it's you, minhee."
"you sound so disappointed. are you okay?"
"yeah, i'm okay."
"you doesn't look okay in my eyes. come on, tell me, what's bothering you?"
eunsang sighs, "do you know about the letters i've been receiving for the past few days?"
minhee nods, "of course. i think everyone knows about that."
"well... i don't receive it today. and i'm, kinda sad."
minhee clears his throat, "maybe the person is busy? and forgot to leave you a letter today?"
"hm.. maybe."
"look, don't be too sad over a letter, okay? i mean, maybe it does mean a lot to you, but just.. don't be too sad over it, eunsang."
eunsang pouts, "how can i not? the letters does mean something to me. if only the admirer knows.. hm,"
minhee felt blood rushing to cheeks, "m-maybe if you try to... show some effort by giving them letters too?"
"but how? i don't even know who the person is, which one is their class, their table."
"u-uhm, what if you leave your letter on your table when school ends? i mean, i noticed that the letter would be on your table every morning, right? so, yeah. maybe the admirer will take your letter and read it."
eunsang smiles at minhee, "that's a great idea, minhee! like, how come i didn't think of it? i'm so dumb!"
"hey, hey. you're not dumb, okay? just try to do that."
eunsang suddenly pouts as he remembers something, "but i received nothing today.. how am i supposed to know if the person will give me letter tomorrow?"
"just try to leave a letter today on your table. i'm sure your admirer will continue their routine of giving your letter tomorrow. don't lose hope, okay?"
eunsang nods as he smiles again, "thank you, minhee."
minhee smiles back at eunsang, "you're welcome."
