Talking about the post office Everyone will miss the people who wait in the sunshine to deliver things to us. No matter how far it is, right?
If it's a holiday Didn't go anywhere People who see me with fresh-faced, disheveled hair are second only to my mother or the aunt next door. There was another person who sent the letter. that sees the true essence
“Ting Tong,” the doorbell sounded in front of the house on a holiday morning. But it seems that the owner of the house is not very happy. Because he had just returned from the company. After working for a long time and having just slept for a few hours.
“Ting Tong”
The sound of the doorbell continues to get louder and louder. Until he started to get annoyed and got up to open the door to see the face of this morning's visitor.
“I have something to deliver.”
The bell ringer didn't seem to feel guilty at all for causing the house owner to become upset from afar because the bell that he had refused to stop ringing for a moment had come.
“Don't you see? If the owner of the house is not home You can just put the notice in the mailbox. As soon as I see it, I'll go get it myself.”
Kihyun said in a half-annoyed tone. Rubbing his hair, which was disheveled from sleeping.
“Excuse me, but I saw a car parked. So I thought there was someone there,” the delivery man said while looking down at his things. before handing the document to him to sign to receive the item
“It really disturbs my sleep. Especially during this time, I have to adjust my sleeping time as well….wait…you're the new kid? I'm not familiar with your face.”
“Yes, Im Changkyun, looking for work while studying.” It wasn't too difficult to guess. I played and delivered the whole school uniform like this.
'Looks like a kid with good intentions. But the look is a bit nerve-wracking'
Kihyun thought to himself. before submitting the signed document to
“Oh?”
“Just woke up? It's already 11 a.m. There's more to do than sleep until 11 a.m. My mother always said that people should arrange their life cycles accordingly. Sleeping too much is not good.”
“So what are you doing with other people's life cycles? Even if you're not of working age, you don't know."
"I have to hurry and send you to another place. Please excuse me."
What is this child's thing? Come and send the item yourself. Why do we feel guilty instead?
About sending and receiving items It should have ended then.
If it doesn't matter...
“I have a letter to deliver.”
“Hey, this time you have to tell me who sent this letter to me a week ago. You sent it. You have to know!!”
“ummm….I don’t know..”
Changkyun's delivery boy Make a face and think for a moment. before replying in English His low voice The more it makes me feel like I'm being annoyed. It's like he knows what to do to make me annoyed. which he also succeeded in doing
“Ah, dammit, I didn't get a good night's sleep because of this damn letter!!”
“Heh heh” Oh! The laugh in his throat was driving me crazy.
“What are you laughing at? Go to work, you annoying child!”
A full week has passed since I had to wake up and see this guy's face every morning. Same old place, same time In front of my house Until sometimes I just stand and wait for the chickens to boo. When he arrived, he always sounded stunned. But don't forget the annoyance. Then he said with a straight face,
'Oh, how did you know there was a letter today?'
But his nervousness Made me quite familiar with him quickly. Until now he can almost be my younger brother. But it's not as important as the letter that comes to me every morning. It's like a silly child's letter. I'm just giving it to that house, this house, someone nearby, something like this. The sender's name is not signed.
The content of the letter was purely rambling to me. Sometimes there are hamster stickers attached. Does he think I'm a kindergartener?
'How are you Did you sleep late today?'
'I hope you get some sleep. Don't wake up too late. In the morning the weather will be very good. People like you who keep working in a company should come out and exercise in the morning.'
'Homework is quite difficult. I can't think of anything. If there is a chance, would you please teach me?'
It didn't look like a letter from a pervert. Because I'm aware of what I do in my daily life. But besides that there was nothing unusual. So I thought that as soon as I got bored I would just quit. Maybe you're lonely because you don't have any friends? Can't reply. There is no sender's name and address.
............But waking up early It makes me sleepy quickly...........It's better to go to sleep then. It's tiring to have a headache with strange letters.
“Oh, where are you going so early in the morning?” the aunt next door, who cares about the lives of neighbors in every household, shouted across the fence to ask me as soon as she started locking the house.
“Oh, take a walk. I have to go to the company in the afternoon. So I want to get a little air.”
“Auntie, you look a lot brighter these days. What have you done? Or do you have a boyfriend? Before, it was so shabby that my aunt didn't dare say hello. I see you always look tired. This is not good. I have come to turn off the lights and the whole house is dark. People will spread rumors about it.”
I think Auntie was the first person to spread the word..
"Really? It's normal. I don't have a boyfriend. You'll die from being busy."
I hurriedly excused myself before my aunt could tell me any more about her long-winded relationship. On the way, I walked past the mirrors that followed the shops. I stopped by to take a look as well. It looks like the dark circles around my eyes have disappeared.
Because I had to receive that letter. I wake up at the same time every day like this.
No, think carefully, because Changkyun likes to ring the doorbell non-stop.
Today I woke up early for the letter to arrive. I really want to know whose work it was.
As far as I'm concerned, or whether it will be...
An hour has passed and now it's 11:30. I walked back home. To prepare to go find some snacks to prepare to go to work at the company.
By now, that guy must have dropped off that damn letter.
“Huh?”
I opened the mailbox as usual, but....
Strange, there was no letter today.
"Never mind, I must be bored. It's good to get some sleep and wake up late."
“Do you have anything to do today?”
A low voice sounded quietly behind me. It was a sound that sent chills down the spine. I jumped out of the area and turned to the owner of the voice, who was standing in his sweater pocket with a face that looked like he was laughing a little.
“!!! Is it you? I'm totally shocked. What are you doing standing here? Why aren't you sending things?!!”
"Today I'm off at work."
“So, why did you come? Don't tell me there's another letter. If that's the case So this crazy letter I got these days is your work, right?!”
"yes"
“Huh…?” I was immediately stopped when he quickly replied as if I had already waited for this moment.
“Today's letter.” Changkyun handed over a light orange letter. With a hamster sticker attached to the envelope as usual. That makes me pretty sure he really wasn't lying.
“What are you doing this for? Ha!” I didn't accept it and half-raised my voice slightly at him.
He still has a calm and irritating face as usual.
“How do I like you?”
Wtf…
"Don't be funny. I'm not funny."
"I'm not laughing."
“You don't have to like me. I'm worried about your health. So I want to wake up at the same time every day. Until it becomes a habit And you really did it.”
“Now I have succeeded. Actually, I've been out of work for a while now.”
“So you come here every morning?”
“I intended to send it to you alone.”
Okay, he changed his pronouns to call me 'P'. A new form of agitation, right? Since we met face to face, he hasn't even called me hyung.
“Are you telling the truth? Have you quit your job yet?”
“just kidding..hehe”
...This kid...
"But the letter is real."
"Oh, I know. Come in one piece like this."
“My feelings too.”
“I don't mind anything. But how are you sure you like me? You don't know me well at all.”
“During the entire time I came to send letters to you. I knew that I was sure.”
Honestly, I'm starting to act out of control. You could say it's confusing. This is too sudden.
“You don't have to be with me. But I will take care of your life from a distance.”
"But I'm not disabled."
"Even if you're disabled, I can take care of you."
“Wow, why do you like it that much?”
Changkyun didn't seem to take his eyes off me. Since we met face to face It made me think a little bit about what he said. It came from the heart, right? That's how I felt.
“I like your grumpy face when you just woke up.”
“Because you are small and cute.”
“I don't want this little body. Must be tired alone.”
"You don't have anyone yet, right? Or if you do, then I'll take his place."
Wait a minute..
“I like you, Kihyun.”
“Stop, that's enough.”
Before he starts describing me any more, I'll go crazy, like I'm embarrassed. But it felt like I was being scolded.
“What do you say? I haven't changed my mind. No one can take care of you better than me.”
Such a confident child. Disturbingly high
“….Sigh.”
But talking so loudly like this, I couldn't argue in time.
"If you're tired, I can stop sending this letter. Because this time is the last time.”
"Why?"
“I had to go back to study in Boston. The time I came back was during the school break. So I find something to do to pass the time."
“Boston!? By the way, why don't I recognize your school uniform?"
“I want you to read it. My last letter."
“......Are you going to go permanently?”
“No, in another year I will come back to live with my parents here.”
……Then don't be dramatic like you won't come back again.
I didn't think anything of it. Where he goes is his business. But after this There is no one waiting to ring the annoying bell every morning. Just thinking about it makes me feel lonely as well. Because I rarely go to see or talk to anyone. Besides friends from work Or unless Hyungwon and Minhyuk invite me to drink. There are only children here. who stopped by all the time like a mischievous child
What should I do?
like both of them There's nothing more to say. The two stood looking at each other for a while. Until Kihyun himself started to feel nervous and turned his head away. In my mind, thoughts were all clashing and chaotic. But he didn't appear too flustered. He just wrinkled his eyebrows and was almost able to tie a bow. Changkyun saw that he wasn't saying anything further and cut him off.
“…..Nothing else. I'll go first.” He pulled Kihyun's hand sensibly before stuffing the letter into his small hand. and walked back
“Changkyun”
Kihyun said his name in the silence. That made him stop immediately and look back at Kihyun, who had taken something out of his pocket. His eyes looked calm. But there is no small amount of hidden expectation.
"You don't know Chat?"
“I know.”
“Then why didn't you ask from the beginning? Why bother writing?” Kihyun stammered. Eyes flickered back and forth. Before handing over the mobile phone with the chat app open, asking for the ID from the person in front
Changkyun smiled slightly. Walked back and picked up the cell phone in his hand. while typing in the name of your own ID Before speaking briefly
“Because 1. I can see your face, no matter how sleepy you are, you still come out to receive my letters every day. And 2. Because a carefully handwritten letter conveys my feelings to you better than a font.”
After this, I probably received over 100 letters from him.
