What Is Love

Dear Krystal,

I have arrived in Bali. We arrived last night, but I was too exhausted to write a letter, so only now I can write you. My computer is not yet unpacked, and our internet connection will not be installed until next week. So for the time being, I hope this letter is enough for you.

Bali is amazing!! I have never been to a place like this before. I don’t know about the rest of Indonesia yet, but Appa had promised me he will take me around Indonesia when we are settled. And when I’m in holiday of course. For now, there is this beautiful island I had to learn first. No wonder people called Bali as the Paradise Island. It really is a paradise. I love our hometown, of course. Seoul is much more… sophisticated and modern and neat, but the difference between both places is what makes Bali more beautiful. The cultural atmosphere is very strong here. You can see people wear their traditional clothes on daily basis, there are ritual offerings all over the street, and I mean all over the street! It’s in front of every house, every building, on top of their vehicles, on every statues and big trees. It’s really amazing! I can’t wait to finally get to explore this whole island.

We live in a district called Ubud. This is actually the art and culture center of Bali, far from the beaches and the city light. It’s very quiet here at night, not a lot of people are around but foreign tourists who likes the silence and calmness this town offers usually come here to stay...      

 

        

“Blah blah blah..” Baekhyun saw Krystal tossed the letter to her side, not even reading it until the end. He quickly got up from where he was sitting, in front of his computer desk on his favorite cozy red chair, to take the baby blue colored paper. He sat beside Krystal who was sprawled across his bed, not even caring about the letter as she started playing with her brand new cellphone her father gave her this morning. “It’s boring. Sehun got so boooooo~ring!”              

Baekhyun chuckled at his friend’s attitude. Krystal was the typical spoiled 12 year old girl that thinks of nothing but how she looks and how boys will look at her. It’s not a bad thing really, because besides that two irritating fact about her, she is a nice Daddy’s girl who get everything she wanted just because her dad feels guilty that her daughter is growing up without a mother. Krystal’s mother died when she was still 3 years old, due to a complication she had after giving birth to Krystal’s baby brother, who died 2 weeks after their mother’s because he was too weak. It was a terrible grieve for her father and her, also for Krystal’s mother two best friend who lived in the same apartment building as she is: Yoona—Baekhyun’s mother, and Seohyun—Sehun’s mother. Since then, Krystal was always taken care by Yoona and Seohyun, who took her as their own daughter since the both of them only had sons in their family. While being a spoiled girl she is, Krystal cared about her new family a lot. She loves Baekhyun’s and Sehun’s parents dearly, and she grew especially close to Baekhyun because he and Krystal had a mutual attraction in music and singing. Sehun was more of a dancer, and his mother’s influence was just too strong and it made Sehun liked painting more than anything. Besides, Baekhyun knows Krystal always befriend someone based on their looks first, maybe that was the main reason why Krystal was closer to him more than Sehun, aside from music. Sehun was a bit on the heavy side, Baekhyun must admit. But Baekhyun can’t not admit that even with his heavy weight and chubby cheeks, the younger male was so handsome and attractive. He had a low and deep voice, very uncommon for boys his age, a cute lisp whenever he speaks, and  the shape of his lips that Baekhyun was envy of. But nobody could defy the charm of Sehun’s eyes. It can make anyone forget their name, where they are, what they were supposed to do, just by looking into those dark onyx eyes. But Krystal never saw that in him. Even though Sehun loved her to death, and shared his little secret to Baekhyun that he will marry no other girl but Krystal when they grew up, Krystal just can’t get to like him that way.              

“Krystal, you can’t say that. He is just telling you about his new home there,” Baekhyun said to his best friend, shoving the letter back under her nose so she can read it again, but Krystal just shook her head and moved to her side, facing away from Baekhyun.          
    
“I don’t need to know about his new home, I don’t need to know anything about him,” she didn’t even looked at Baekhyun when she said that, still engrossed in texting whoever was on the phone with her.              

Baekhyun shook his head in defeat. While chuckling, he decide to read the continuation of the letter that Krystal stopped reading out loud. Baekhyun missed Sehun. It has only been a week, but it al
