"Write a letter to the you that you hope to be, ten years from now," Jungwoo gave an assignment to his students, "You can write whatever you want. The thing about words is that they have power," He walked around the class, "And those words can guide you toward a future that you want for yourself. That's the objective of this homework assignment. I would like it to be a video file, if at all possible and it will be due by tonight,"

Jungwoo had no interest with anything his teacher said infront. He was busy having his hand scribbled on the notebook infront of him.

"As for the submission method, send it to my email address. And now, use the remainder of your time thinking about what you should say," He looked around the class before his eyes fell on Jungwoo. He let out a silent sigh.

I wonder what he'll want to say to me?

He started to have another tour in the class but this time he went straight to Jungwoo's place. Jungwoo stopped right behind the boy and turned around to see what has been written by the boy.

Who's the person that Yeri likes?

Who is it?

Jungwoo scoffed to see the words written on his notebook, "You, you, you, you, you," He poked the boy for few times.

The boy startled, "Pardon?"

"Um, 선생님 (Mr. Kim)," A girl interrupted him, "What would you want to say to the you living 10 years in the future?" Yeri asked curiously.

"Well," He paused for a while, "rather than that, there's something I would want to say to myself 10 years ago," Jungwoo answered.

"What would you want to say?"

He looked at Jungwoo, "Ugh," The man slammed his hand on the table startled the boy, "Stop being so dense," Jungwoo's eyes widened looking at his teacher.

Jungwoo made his way to the front before he continued his words, "I would tell myself to confess. To not lose her to anyone, only to regret it later. And to not lose her," Jungwoo pouted, "That's what I would want to say to the me from 10 years ago."

"Does that mean that you never got to confess your feelings?" Yeri asked, "Ten years ago, I mean,"

He smiled as he nodded his head, "Yes,"

"Why couldn't you confess?" This time, it's Jungwoo's turn to ask.

"Because I was stupid and cowardly. I was so stupid that I didn't know the feelings of the person I liked and I was such a coward that I gave up in fear of getting hurt. In the end, I was never able to convey my feelings to her and those feelings turned into feelings of regret," He confessed.

Jungwoo paid attention to his words.

"But I know now that I had a chance of changing my future if only I had confessed back then. But if you don't do anything just because you're scared of getting hurt, nothing will change. So, I would like it if all of you remembered that love starts with a confession,"

Jungwoo couldn't help but both of his eyes automatically falls on her. Should he confess? For real?

On the other side, Jungwoo really hopes, his words would change little Jungwoo's mind and he will decided to confess to the girl. Because if he didn't confess now, he will lost his chance forever. Yeri will still not be there when he goes back to the future. His future will be nothing but a dark memory for him.

ღ-ღ-ღ

Yeri entered the teacher's office with a tin of drink in her hand. She nervously walking towards someone's place, "A confession, huh?" She smiled. 

She lifted her head up to see the person she has been looking for, wasn't at his place. Her expression turned to a gloomy one. But since she's already here, she decided to just left the drink she bought for him on the table.

Yeri noticed the calendar he had on his table, "My birthday?" She mumbled as she saw the man wrote the notice on his birthday on the calendar, "So tomorrow is 선생님's (Mr. Kim) birthday?" She smiled as she have an idea popped out in her mind.

"I will probably be a civil servant 10 years from now," Doyoung said while Jaehyun was recording him.

Jaehyun put the camera down, "A civil servant? Why a civil servant?" He was questioning Doyoung's dream.

Doyoung sighed, "Now I have to record it over again!" He complained.

"Since when did I have a friend who wanted to become a civil servant?" 

"You get a decent salary and a pension, and they even have a set retirement age!" Doyoung explained, "There isn't a job that can compare to that!" He exclaimed.

Jungwoo interrupted them, "Wasn't it your dream to become a cartoonist, though?" He asked.

"A cartoonist?" He scoffed, "Oh, please. I'm not trying to starve,"

"Why not? You've always been good at drawing,"

He sighed, "That was just a skill," He claimed, "To not starve, you need to have an innate talent and my innate talent isn't drawing, it's facing reality," Doyoung looked like he's playing around most of the times, but he already put a goal for himself so that he wouldn't get lost later.

Jungwoo disagreed with him, "But even so, I feel like it would be such a waste of talent,"

"Oh, whatever, whatever," Doyoung needs to stop it now or else he would be dreaming to be a cartoonist again because of his friend's words, "This is all ruined now," He took the camera from Jaehyun, "Here, you go first, Jaehyun," Doyoung decided to record Jaehyun first.

"Is it recording?" Jaehyun asked as he tidied up his hair, "Is this angle okay?" He kept asking when the camera is rolling. He took a deep breath before continued, "To be honest, I have a single wish. I really want myself to have experienced this once after 10 years,"

"Experience what?" Jungwoo abruptly asked.

Jaehyun blushed upon that question, "My first love," He answered while having his head lowered down. Jungwoo couldn't help but laughed after listening to his words. Doyoung just let out a small chuckle, "I probably will have experienced it once after 10 years, right? I probably will have really, really liked someone once by then, right?"

"What kind of nonsense is that?" Doyoung said, "You've gone through an entire platoon's worth of women," He smiled as he looked at Jungwoo.

"Exactly," Jungwoo continued Doyoung's words, "Hey, this is like hearing Park Jisung say, 'I want to score a goal just once',"

Jaehyun felt unfair with the accusation thrown by his friends, "The reason why I keep dating around is because I never end up really liking a girl, even when I date her. I have never experienced that feeling, even once," He confessed, "I have no idea what it feels like to really like someone. That's why I envy Jungwoo. It makes me wonder, 'how much he like Kim Yeri to act this way?'"

Jungwoo lowered his head, "Wow," Doyoung exclaimed, "I wish I could combine you two, and then split you apart again," Jaehyun chuckled, "Your power to just act without thinking," Doyoung pointed out to Jaehyun, "and your ability to harbor innocent, pure affection," He swifted his eyes towards Jungwoo.

"Well, you can consider me an affectionate man of action now," Jungwoo said, "I'm," He paused, hesitating, "going to confess,"

Both Doyoung and Jaehyun looked at each other simultaneously after listening to the shocking news, "Really?" They asked in unison.

"Yeah," He answered before he stands up and put a letter under Yeri's bag, "I'm going to meet up with her on my birthday, and confess to her," He told his plan, "Tomorrow,"

The two boys smiled as if they're happy plus cringey because the most innocent one between the three of them going to confess his feelings towards the girl he likes tomorrow.

Saeron and Yeri entered the class after they're done with their chores today. Both of them went to their respective places. Yeri was about to lift her bag when she found something hidden under it. The girl frowned to see a note under her bag. She opened it and there's a message written on it.

'Sunday is my birthday and I have something to tell you then. Let's meet up at the City Meeting Spot at 6 p.m. tomorrow.'
- Kim Jungwoo

"It says it's his birthday tomorrow, so... did 쌤 (Mr. Kim) leave me this note?" She mumbled. Yeri couldn't help but looking forward to the meeting tomorrow.

ღ-ღ-ღ

Jungwoo was crouching as he looked around the shop to find for a right thing to give Yeri tomorrow as he confessed his feelings, "Hey, you can't confess empty-handed!" Jaehyun exclaimed. The boy swifted his eyes on the boy whom standing beside him.

He stands up, "Even. isn't a ring too over-the-top?" He said awkwardly. Doyoung let out a small smile to his question while Jaehyun was trying to hold himself back from scolding the innocent boy, "What if she feels like it's too much?" Jungwoo asked.

"Let's think about this optimistically for a second," Doyoung started talking, "She could end up liking the ring if she doesn't like you which could lead to her accepting your confession," Both of the boys laughed as soon as Doyoung has done with his words.

Jungwoo rolled his eyes, "Shut your trap!" He tried to grab Doyoung's lips but he managed to dodge it.

"How about something more," "Yeah," While the boys were busy talking, Jungwoo already locked his eyes on one of the ring in the display cabinet. This is the perfect ring for Yeri. He thought.

While Yeri on the other side, dragged Saeron to a man clothes shop. She went through the shop that was full of shirts. The black and white stripe shirt managed to attract her attention, "How does it look? Does it look okay?" Yeri asked to Saeron who was wandering around the shop because she had no idea on what she should do there. Should she buy a shirt for Doyoung? Ugh, better no. The boy won't appreciate it anyway.

Saeron smiled, "Oh, it's nice," She complimented her choice, "Why are you shopping for men's clothes, though?" The girl asked in curious.

"I'm thinking of buying clothes as birthday gift," Yeri answered.

Saeron furrowed her eyebrows, "A birthday gift?" She couldn't remember any of her classmates' birthday so she was kind of clueless for whom she is going to buy the present.

"I want to give him a gift, and I have something to tell him, too," Yeri explained on the real situation though she didn't mention any name.

Her friend just nodded in agree before started to look around the store as if she's going to buy her boyrfriend a shirt for real.

ღ-ღ-ღ

The three boys were playing around at the bus stop. Jungwoo was practicing on how he should confess to Yeri when suddenly Saeron came from behind them, "What are you guys doing in city?" The girl asked. Luckily, she already keep the shirt she bought for Doyoung in her bag though. Or else, there will be thousand of questions being asked to her.

"Oh, we're buying gift," Jaehyun answered.

Jungwoo was about to stop Jaehyun from
