Chereads / My Secret Letter / Chapter 2 - 02

Chapter 2 - 02

•~• The Next Day •~•

Kuro P.O.V

I came across a letter from Aumi Fumi, my former lover, under my desk yesterday. It was a poem titled "A Letter For You". When I read it a second time, it seemed to be pointing out that even though she knew I already had a girlfriend, she still had feelings for me and didn't think it was worth her while to give me the letter, which bothered me when I read it the second time.

I sometimes wonder if I was the intended recipient of the letter. Because anyone other than myself may be the culprit. She had too many crushes on everyone when we were dating, but I didn't mind because she was so honest about it and I didn't have to worry.

I didn't want to think that the letter was actually for me because of this. Since I've moved on and have a girlfriend already. Even though it wasn't clear from whom the letter was actually written, I went to my girlfriend yesterday to seek advice, and she suggested that I write her back, which is exactly what I did.

I informed her honestly and jotted down my thoughts about the poem she had written, being careful not to think it was for me. She is quite sensitive to words, therefore I just written down what she can handle. After that, I hid the note under the desk where I had discovered it.

I didn't want to wait for a response after hiding the letter yesterday, in case it turned out to be a flaw.

N: He was going to his classroom as he was thinking back, and as soon as he walked in, his classmates and friends surrounded him to say hello him. Their music teacher entered the room shortly after greeting them and conversing with them for a while while seated on his chair. At that moment, they were all laughing. Everyone hurried back to their seats and said nothing.

•~• 45 minutes later •~•

Their music teacher said, "Don't forget to bring a ukulele because we will be using that, understood?"

N: When everyone nodded to show that they understand, the teacher nodded as well and exited the room.

One of Kuro's peers called out to him as they were waiting for him at the entrance, "Kuro, it's time for P.E. class. Come on."

He yelled, "Coming!" without even noticing he had dropped the letter as he gathered everything.

Aumi and her classmates reached Kuro's classroom just as Kuro and his friends were already leaving the room, but as soon as she took her seat, she saw the note was gone from under the desk.

Aumi P.O.V

It appears that he has already taken the message; perhaps this will clear up any confusion on our part. Considering that I don't want him to believe that I still feel something for him.

I didn't write that poem because I still felt something for my ex-boyfriend; rather, I wrote it to accept and respect my worth. Since yesterday, I've had the most terrible and embarrassing day.

N: Lying her head on the desk, she sighed.

"What's wrong?" Eun sought out, glancing at her worry.

"Eun, let's say, what if, what if your ex-boyfriend found your secret letter that made him misinterpreted everything and thought you still had feelings for him. What would be your reaction?" Aumi asked in response.

"Well, if he found about it then let him be and if he wrote back just for that letter then I don't have to respond to it." Eun replied with her arms raised. "I'll just wait until he keeps giving me more letter just for me to respond back, it's like making him go in a circle and let his curiosity run free" she continued with a devilish grin.

"You're a cruel person, even though I love you," Aumi shook her head.

"I am aware," Eun grinned.

She turned to face Sei and said, "How about you, Sei?"

"Well... I haven't been in a relationship before but if he were able to found the letter then I would've asked where he found the letter in the first place since you would've kept it hidden" Sei said.

Eun concurred, saying, "She does have a point. If it were really a "secret" letter, you would have kept it, but if it did contain your name, it would no longer qualify as such."

"She's right, why call it a secret letter if you already put your name on it" Sei responded.

"But, that letter wasn't addressing to anyone since she just wrote that without thinking of anyone" Aumi replied.

"Then if that letter isn't meant for him or anyone then everything about this is just misleading to nowhere" Sei replied.

"But, do you think the letter was really addressing to someone else and the ex-boyfriend thought it was for him?" Eun was interested.

"If that was the scenario then it could be possible since the letter wasn't address to someone or is meant for her ex" Sei said.

"Then I say the ex is delusional for thinking it was meant for him" Eun chuckled.

"Perhaps," Sei slapped Eun while laughing.

"Hey, her ex is not delusional in fact he was the best boyfriend she could ask for" Aumi replied.

"There's a defensive person," Eun grinned sinisterly.

Aumi seemed irritated and continued, "What, I'm just saying that her ex-boyfriend was nice to her and you don't have to be mean about him."

Sei questioned eagerly, "I was wondering, why do you ask about this?"

She answered, "Nothing, I was just asking."

Raising an eyebrow at Aumi, Sei and Eun approached her, asking, "Perhaps this is about you and your ex? Hmm?"

Aumi swiftly shook her head and denied everything, crossing her arms and said, "I was just saying why would I even mention my ex."

N: After that, she glances out the window to see Kuro playing badminton outside with his teammates. She turned aside, momentarily nervous as he grinned at her and they locked glances for a little moment.

She remarked hastily as she raced out of the room and headed to the broadcast room, "I better get going to the broadcast room, I'll catch you guys later"

Her suitor was resting against the wall in front of their broadcast room door as she approached the room.

She approached him with curiosity, "What are you doing here?"

He grinned and said, "I was waiting for you, of course," as she became agitated and rubbed her head.

She answered the door and they walked in together. "What brings you here, by the way, I mean except to see me but other than that is there something else?" she questioned.

He grinned at her and replied, "I got nothing better to do, so why not hang around with you."

Raising an eyebrow at him, she said, "Are you sure that's not the only reason you came here just to hang around with me?"

He approaches her and says, "Well, I wanted to give you this," while grinning and giving her a bunch of flowers.

She gave him a nervous and bashful expression as she said, "Thank you, these are lovely."

"You're very much welcome, I just wanted to show you how sincere I really am to you as your suitor" He said, continuing, "I know actions speak louder than words, that's why I'm doing this but you might think that this is another he fell but she fell harder and he left kinda thing but it's not that" He took her hand and kept going, "I really like you Aumi, I meant what I said and I really want to be your boyfriend, I don't want to hurry you or anything just take your time and I'll just be here for every step of the way"

"I know your very sincere because you've been doing this since we were freshmen and now, we're already seniors and about to graduate I'm glad I'm with the guy whose been with me each year and I'm thankful for that" she added with a grin and an embrace.

He smiled at her and added, "I'm just glad that your slowly getting comfortable around me, since I know you've struggled to trust guys."

She took a long breath and added, "Well, I did hesitate at first if you were really interested in me since like you said I've struggled a lot to trust guys again. But, if it weren't for you I would've changed my mind about guys."

"It wasn't easy to get your trust honestly, but I'm glad I got to change your mind because it took me four years to get your trust that I had feelings for you and wanted to be your boyfriend" He stated with a calm chuckle.

She pointed and chuckled, "I did tell you that I have trust issues and that I've been single for so long that I don't even know how to act having a boyfriend."

He smirked and taunted her, saying, "That's why I'm here to teach you how to be my girlfriend."

"Yes, of course. How about you become my boyfriend instead?" she sarcastically asked, grinning as she drew nearer to his face.

N: He was startled by it and averted his gaze out of nervousness.

She laughed, "Not so manly now huh," as she turned around and leaned back on the table.

As he straightened himself, he added, "Hey, that was unfair you know. You should have a warning when doing that again."

"Well, I might not have been in a relationship for so long but I can flirt you know" she said.

As he approaches her, he says, "I fell in love with you because you're so unpredictable."

She asked, "Now, what are you doing?"

"That doesn't seem fair, don't you think?" he questioned, grinning and raising an eyebrow. "What, I can't get closer to you but you can get closer to me?" he asked, clearly confused.

She covered her eyes and replied, "Okay, I get your point. But, can I get a few seconds to breathe since you're too close?"

As they locked eyes, he took her hand away from her eyes and questioned, "What if I don't?" as he drew nearer.

N: She began to pull away, but he caught her in the center and prevented her from escaping his hold as he moved steadily closer to her lips.

She kissed him abruptly, startling him as she managed to escape his hold and flee. "Then I have no choice but to do this."

N: He merely remained there, appearing stunned by the incidents and unable to express his feelings.
