In 9th grade, I transferred school for my own sake. I never really expected anything, but I knew it would be hard for me to adjust and make friends. The new environment baffled me. Despite hundreds of students, not a single person spoke to me.

I felt lonely.

Yet, I understood that I needed to have the courage and confidence to stand firm. Slowly, I adapted well enough to engage in a few interactions.

In romance movies, two people often meet unexpectedly, as if they are destined to be together, like air in our lungs or fish in the sea.

It’s these encounters that make me reflect on my own life and wonder when I will finally meet the right person who feels just as destined to be in my life.

On an ordinary school day, you took my hand and nervously spoke your name. A few people saw it and started screaming. That’s when it all started—the constant flow of shipping led them to speculate about us as a potential couple.

Looking back, I knew that that moment was destined for us to happen.

As I embark on my journey into senior high school alongside you, I can’t help but feel excited about what lies ahead for us. Looking back, I realize that our shared experiences and unwavering support have shaped our bond, and I have no doubt that, over time, others will recognize us as high school sweethearts.

Together, we have created memories that will stay with us forever, and I am thrilled to continue this adventure by your side.

10 months 💋

You remind me that in our often sharp and dark world, there are still a few people whose softness exists.
