Dear star paper !

Dear Paper Star!

Everyone got a Christmas present. It's different from me who only received one piece of paper star as a gift. It's the only thing I get every year. No one knows where this paper star came from...

“Lee Taemin, please go work for me.”

"Oh, but Mom made you guys do it, didn't she? Oh!"

“But I don't want to. You go do it for me!”

"Heck, I have to go do something else. Don't hit me. It hurts."

“This is just teaching. Don't disobey me. Come, let's have a Christmas party at the church tonight. Let's hurry up, our parents will send us something. Don't pay any attention to people like that guy who don't have a family. Haha.”

10 years have passed...

“Mom, can I get out of here? I'm going to go find my family and the owner of this paper star, right?" I looked at my mother's face. who has taken care of me since I was a child No matter what problems I have, Mom will always listen to my problems. Always comforting me no matter how much I suffer.

I live in a day care center whose parents do not have time to care for them because they are busy working. Or there are family problems. Children here have mothers. Or the nuns who live in the church next to the nursing home. Always taking care of you.

“That's right. I'm glad you're going to be able to live outside. You will be able to see different things. These things will be taught to your children in the future.”

“Thank you. All the time taking care of me Then I will come back to visit.”

“Don't worry about your place of residence, study, and part-time job. This way will handle it for you. Mother has prepared it for you.”

“Yes, Mother, I will be able to leave here on Christmas Day, right?”

“It's been ten years now. It was the same day she first came in. That day, I remember how shocked I was to find my child in that condition. At that age, you really have to face something like this.”

“But if I hadn't met that boy, I wouldn't have come here. I didn't meet my mother. Just like this, I'm happy.” I smiled. Sometimes, that day was Christmas like today. But the difference is that I have to leave here. It was a very snowy day. I was walking in the snow crying a lot because my father had beaten me.

Until I couldn't stand it and had to run away and have nowhere to go. But I met a boy who was probably my same age. But it was so high that I was shocked. He walked towards me. and brought me to this church Along the way, he didn't say anything. In addition to the saying, 'Stop crying, continue living for a good future.

Don't think about the cruel past.' So I called him Mr. Star Paper. He seemed quite shocked. But he smiled, but I thought it was a very good-looking smile.

After that, I never forgot him. When Christmas Day has passed It's another year of Christmas and a paper star has been sent to me every year. It's been like this for ten years now. No one knows where it came from. But I think it will definitely come from him and this year is no exception! I think it will definitely come again.

“Then after you finish packing up your things, don't forget to come celebrate with everyone. Today is the last day and have lots of fun with everyone.” When she finished speaking, Mom walked out of the room. I sit and think about the past. Even though I have been through many things, I am still alive for a good future.

To meet that person again And will be able to find his family and start everything over.

As I was thinking about things, I heard the sound of the door opening. The person who entered my room She is a young girl with a cute face. She always likes to wear two braids. And she is another person who stays beside me. Her name is Jung Soo Jung or Krystal.

“Taemin hyung, everyone is waiting. Today is a day to celebrate you. Let's hurry and go.” She always gave me a cheerful smile. Next year she will be out of the same place as me. Her older sister would come pick her up and they would go together. She was very happy about this.

“Uh, let me just ask you to pack up your things for a moment. I'll follow you out soon."

“What is it? I don't see anything that needs to be picked up. I've kept some of it for you. Other than that, there were only personal items that I had to keep by myself. Or are you waiting for a paper star~”

“Yes...hey! What's wrong with you? Pretend you know everything. Come on, we can go out.”

“Well~ I've been with you for many years now. Why don't you know? Oppa, I'm a little sad that we had to part. But next year my sister will come to take me to live with me. I'm so glad We must find opportunities to meet each other. I know your whereabouts and I will write letters to you often. After this, there is no one to protect you.”

I saw her as a sister and she saw me as an older brother. But I might be the older brother who doesn't have much of a problem. She held both of my hands firmly as if she was afraid something would disappear. Her body trembled. She tried to capture the emotion. I don't want to say goodbye with tears.

“I also want you to live happily as you have dreamed. But don't forget that I have this person. Don't forget that there are everyone who misses you. I wish you good luck. I don't know what kind of water can fall out. Huh..You don't have to worry. It's not my tears. Huh..huh.." I pulled her into a hug. Her tears didn't stop flowing.

I've never seen her cry this hard. Crystal came to this church for a reason. My parents and older sister all worked hard and saved money to make a better life. So the family sent her here. And this year her family sent news that they had bought a house to welcome her back.

And will come to pick her up next year. She is very happy, but right now she is crying because I am leaving.

“You said it yourself that you should write a letter to me. Anyway, we will definitely meet. Don't cry. We'd better go, everyone's already waiting.”

“Yes, Taemin hyung.” She smiled again and suddenly she quickly dragged me to the church.

Bang Bang Bang

“Yay ​​!~ Merry Christmas.”

“Oh, Merry Christmas everyone.”

“Hyung, everyone will come to send you off today. So we organized an event for each other. Everyone has something to give. Let's have some fun!”

“Taemin, I have something to tell you.”

“What is it, Jonghyun?”

“I apologize for what I did in the past. Even now we are friends. But I've never talked to you like this before. Thank you for never being angry at me. At least I have nowhere to go. You don't have to worry about the people here. I will take care of the people here.”

“Thank you, Jonghyun. And thank you everyone. And I'll come back and visit. This Christmas was a very happy year for me.”

“Good luck, Taemin!”

the next morning

"I'll go first, everyone. Thank you very much, Mom. Please take care of your health."

“God protect you.”

“Taemin, don't forget to come back.”

“Taemin, you need to come back here sometime.”

“All right, everyone.” Now it's time for me to step out of here. Even though I'm a bit lost But I must walk away to face the future.

Now I have arrived at the room provided by the church. It's a small rental room, but has a bathroom and a kitchen. Considered to be a good start today. I started bringing things into the room. At 7 p.m., I have a special work appointment. It's a job that I do after school. It's a job helping a restaurant that deals with chicken.

Open in an area where there are a lot of people. And next week I have to report to the university to apply for studies that will start next semester. I'm about to start something new. During my free time in the morning, I'll search for my father and that man together.

But that night I didn't receive that paper star. I felt incredibly nervous. When starting to put things in place I went outside for a walk. It made me realize how interesting the outside world is. Many people were walking around. Lights began to shine down the road. Finally, I walked to a restaurant. It's a small restaurant.

But there were people all over the store. It is a shop decorated in green tones that are pleasing to the eyes. The decorations in the shop include chicken and tofu together. It must have been a symbol of this shop. I walked up to the person who was probably the owner of the shop. and started saying hello

“Hello, are you the owner of the shop?”

“That's right, is your name Lee Taemin?”

“Yes, I am Lee Taemin.”

“My name is Lee Jinki. You can call me Onew. I'm the owner of this chicken shop!~ It's a good thing you came. The shop is crowded right now. Let's start work now. You go get the apron from the man standing over there. Minho, hey, there's a new kid coming, go get the apron.” I turned around at the sound of the voice calling.

I met a tall man. Big, sparkling eyes A smile that looks charming and attractive It's like a force of attraction that can make my heart pound without stopping. My consciousness returned when the man stopped in front of me and handed me an apron.

“Hello, I'm Choi Minho. Nice to meet you. Let's have fun working together!”

"Ah, uh" and today I got to work with P'Onew. and Minho's first day It's really fun. Everyone was very kind to me. Work at the shop seems to be so hectic that there is no time for breaks. But I didn't feel tired at all. And now I'm washing dishes behind the shop with Minho.

“Your name is Taemin, right? I think you're too skinny? Have you taken care of yourself?”

“Why are you wearing a uniform?”

“So what I said was wrong? Being a man means you have to be strong.”

“It's my business. What does this have to do with you?!”

“It's about me!...” Minho's voice suddenly became quiet. He turned away as if avoiding my eyes. Why?

“What is wrong with me?”

"nothing ! There's nothing. Hurry and wash up. Onew hyung is waiting outside."

“Um, this guy really is a strange person.”

“Fuck me.”

“Hey, hey, when are you guys going to finish? The chicken will all be cold."

“Yes!” Brother Onew suddenly walked in. Causing the two of us to answer with the same voice immediately. and hurriedly washed the few remaining dishes. and go outside immediately

When I saw Minho for the first time I immediately thought of that boy. Why does it give you this same feeling? And still those words But it probably isn't the same person!

“Hey, hey, this chicken has to be eaten with tofu to be delicious! It's the shop's secret recipe. I thought of it myself. Haha, let's eat a lot, you guys.”

“Yes Onew, thank you very much.”

“It's a small matter, Taemin. Oh, yes! You two are at the same university, right? Taemin, you'll go with Minho right now. Minho is about to enter his second year.”

“Really? Then please help me, Minho-senpai.”

“Don't call me that. It's time to leave. We'd better go back soon."

“You two, let's go. I'll keep the shop. Just a little more checking and the shop will be closed.”

"Then let's all go back. Bye~"

Finally I came home. Tomorrow I will start looking for the two of them. I want to go back to the old house where I lived with my family. So I have to try to do everything I can!

Coming in the next day

“Taemin,” who called you this early in the morning?

“Yes, please wait a moment,” I shouted and slowly lifted myself up from the bed. Then I walked to the front door. Open the door to welcome guests.

"Oh, it's Minho? Why are you here so early in the morning?"

"I'm going to invite you to take a trip around here."

“Ha! The weather is this cold.”

"Well, it's Christmas Day. How could you be cooped up in your room?"

“That's right. Then come in first. I'll go change my clothes first.” I hurriedly went to change clothes because I didn't want to keep Minho waiting too long. But I was startled when something warm suddenly pressed against my back.

“Minho you..”

“Taemin, I'm sorry..I've been waiting for you all this time..”

“Or are you.. that boy?”

“Actually, I would like to keep this matter closed for now. But I can't stand it. I can't bear to look at you from afar any longer. All ten years of waiting for you to come out. It makes me very sad. But I waited until today,” Minho said, his voice shaking. What he said really shocked me. Minho really is that boy.

It's the boy I've always wanted to look up to. I'm so happy.

“I'm waiting too. Waiting for the time to find you Waiting for the time to do what I want to do. Now I've found it. I met you..”

“I love you, Taemin. I have always loved you.”

“I love you too, Minho. Thank you for always taking care of me.”

“Then let's go out today. I will take you out to look at various places.”

“Uh huh.”

park

“It's really cold today, Taemin.”

"Minho, are you crazy about hugging me here? Everyone else is turning to look." Minho hugged me in the middle of the park. Isn't he ashamed?

“Why would you care? I want to hug you like this forever.”

“I already know. But, Minho, why didn't you send me stars this year?” I asked curiously.

“Well..anyway, I already knew that I would meet you, so I..” Minho held out one hand in front of me. In his hand was a piece of paper. I accidentally smiled without realizing it.. Minho rubbed his head. I felt so happy that I turned and jumped and hugged Minho tightly.

“Thank you, Minho. Thank you for sending this to me. Thank you for making me realize that waiting to see you wasn't so bad after all.”

“The first time I met you. I know you're the right person for me. But back then I was too young to take care of you. I can only send this one. But now I can take care of you. Taemin, will you let me take care of you forever?” The tall man turned and looked into his eyes. Everything that he wanted Taemin to know, he had already said.

It was just a matter of whether the little person in front of him would accept what he offered or not.

“What do you say, Taemin?”

“Ugh,” the other party could only answer, blushing. Taemin's clear cheeks were so red that he wanted to own them. No matter what time it is, Taemin is always cute.

“And where will you go to find your father after this? It's been ten years now," the tall man asked. Because one goal of the little person in front of him had already been achieved. There is one more thing left, which is not something that is easy to find.

“I want to try and get back to where I was.”

“Taemin, why would you go back to him if he hurt you this much?”

“But he is my father. I would like to know how he is now.”

“Then I will take you to find your father. But we have to smooth things out first.”

“Yes,” Taemin answered easily. After all, things will probably change a lot over time. I would definitely not be able to let him go look for him himself. Having Minho help again was a really good thing.

“Then I'll take you for a walk before going to Onew's shop. How about taking a walk around the city?”

“Good! Take me for a walk around the city where I live. After ten years of never leaving the church, I didn't notice any changes.” But what he does recognize is time. and relationships that are emotionally connected It's like there's a red thread tying the two of us together. Be aware of what the two people are communicating to each other.

And throughout the day, Minho took Taemin for walks all day. Let's stop there and buy this along the way. The two people laughed and laughed. It is a point of interest for couples to see. Everyone looked up to Lee Taemin's bright and cheerful personality. It's like the little prince found something he liked. and looked at Choi Min Ho They are the bodyguards who follow the little prince's wishes at all times.

As the sun begins to glow a dull orange color, it indicates that the playtime is almost over. Both Minho and Taemin went to Onew's shop to do their part-time work.

"Oh, you guys have already come? Come and help set up the shop quickly. Today the shop is more crowded than every day. We have to help set up more space. Minho, please help me prepare things in the kitchen. Today we have to hurry up and do it a little. Taemin, please take that table and chairs and put them in that corner. Ah.. just put them there. Thank you very much.”

“Today there are a lot of people, it's nice to see.”

“It's like this every year. Normally, when you and Minho do it alone, there's hardly any time to rest. Having you come and help again is quite a good thing.”

“And since when has Minho been working here?” the little man asked curiously. He wanted to know more about Minho. Even if it's a little thing

“Oh, it's been two years already. Then it came at a time like this. Just enough to save my life. Oh! That's right. Let's celebrate Minho's work anniversary, Taemin,” Onew said cheerfully. And Taemin agreed. What would he like to give in return to Minho? Even if it's just a little thing

After secretly agreeing to something with Onew hyung in front of the store, I walked out. I followed the route on the map that Onew had given me. It's a small scarf shop, but the decorations are eye-catching. Taemin walked into the store. The slight jingling of the bell indicates visitors. The small salesperson had short, shoulder-length hair that looked bright and golden.

cheerful smiling face She began to greet the customers with a cheerful tone.

“Hello, Sunny Shop welcomes you! What kind of scarf do you want to choose and see? You can inquire."

“Uh..I want to buy a scarf for someone as a gift. There are so many here.” Inside the store, Taemin was quite excited. He's never been here like this. It's a very cute shop.

“Then can you tell me the characteristics of the person you are buying for? How can I help you look right?”

“He is a tall man. His eyes had an interesting charm. He cares about his surroundings..”

“Ah..then wait a moment! Sooyoung!!” She ran to the back of the store, yelling out someone's name. Soon she returned with a tall, dark-skinned woman. This girl should probably be called a little person.

“This plain scarf is called 'Charisma' and it's simply charming. It should be suitable for the person you're giving it to. Let's take a look!” the woman named Sooyoung said, handing her a long, thick scarf. Light blue-green There was a sparkling, dazzling look to Taemin. He received it with a rather satisfied expression on his face.

This one is suitable for Minho. The owner of the shop really has a sharp eye!

“Then I'll take this one. Please help wrap it in a box for me.”

“Alright, little one!” Saying that, he took the small woman's hand and led her to the back of the store. Soon he came out with a box the size of his hand and handed it to Taemin again.

“Then come again. Sunny Shop always welcomes you!”

Taemin walked out of the store in a reasonably good mood. He walked back to Onew's chicken shop. Then quickly ran him behind the store and hid the things. and walked out to help at the storefront as usual

“Taemin, where have you been?”

“Oh, I went to run some errands for Onew hyung! Table 8 called and I'll go take the order first.” With that, Tammin immediately ran out. And that time all night The store was packed with people and there was hardly any time to talk. When the clock strikes the time Onew looked at the time at his wristwatch. Gather things and prepare to close the shop.

Onew secretly chatted with Taemin while passing by. And it's time to surprise Minho.

“Minho, it's Taemin, it's Taemin!”

“Taemin, why!?”

“Taemin, what's wrong in front of the store?!” Upon hearing that, Minho immediately ran out to the front of the store. But he didn't find anyone. Besides the dark and quiet path The lights suddenly turned on and a popping sound sounded from the toys Onew had prepared. and Onew and Taemin's shouts

Bang bang bang !

“Congratulations on your two year anniversary!! Yay!” Minho could only stand confused. What happened here? Did the two people want to surprise him like that?

“Stop standing there confused! Taemin, give Minho a gift box.” Taemin was clumsy, handing Minho a gift box. He took it and unwrapped it. He found that it was a scarf. which he liked quite a bit

“How about the present that you and Taemin gave you? Do you like it?”

“Thank you very much.” He wrapped the scarf around his neck. “It's a nice big one.” He then smiled happily at the gift he received. Even though it was something that Onew and Taemin hyung gave him. But it was the first thing Taemin gave him.

“I'm so glad you liked it. I think it suits you very well, Minho,” Taemin said. Now in a chicken shop that brings happiness to people. They also bring happiness to all three people.

On the way back, both Minho and Taemin walked hand in hand the whole way. The two of them were very happy. It was worth the wait for the couple to meet. .

Minho is waiting to meet Taemin. In order to take care of and protect the people he loves...

Taemin is waiting to meet Minho. In order to repay the love that the other person gave. .

. . .The two of them gave each other pure love. Without expecting anything in return, it was a beautiful love. that anyone can give to each other Just use your heart to see and use your feelings to communicate to the other party. . . .

. . . finish . . .
