Pictures and Letters to a Mysterious Friend

Description

Every year three students throughout the school were chosen to participate in a special program called “Best Friends across the Sea,” a program that involved writing letters and sending pictures to a pen pal that lived in a country on the continents of Asia, Europe or Australia. After reading through the list seven times, Lilly Dori finally chose her partner: Lee Donghae, a baker the same age as her that lived in South Korea. Through the letters and pictures, the pair learns more and more about each other, and eventually one develops feelings for the other. What will happen when the opportunity of meeting each comes along? Will they meet and confess, or chicken out and stay home? Time will only tell…

Foreword

A 17 year old female born and raised in North Carolina, USA. Aspiring photographer that loves nature and animals (favorites being goldfish and cats), likes to wear stripes, floral dresses and skinny jeans. Her name translates to "Flower Sea", which was interesting to her parents since Lilly's favorite places are a flower garden and any beach or body of water. Her school guidance consulor feared she was being too "anti-social" so Lilly was enrolled in the pen pal program and eventually sends letters to Lee Donghae of South Korea.

 

Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, currently age 17 (internationally). He's a baker and considered popular among the school, although he sticks to his main group of best friends: Sungmin, Hyukjae, and Kyuhyun. He doesn't like being or eating alone and clings to people, so he's constantly seen with at least one of these three people. His favorite animal is a goldfish, and he currently owns one named Nemo that his mom got him for his birthday. Donghae became interested in the American culture, which led to his enrolling in the pen pal program in his school. 

 

 

Best friends of Donghae. Kyuhyun is the "gamer" of the group, Sungmin the "cute musician" and Hyukjae the "dancer." Mentioned a few times in Donghae's letters.

This story is AU, meaning that Donghae, Kyuhyun, Sungmin and Hyukjae are not famous, and no mentions of Super Junior will appear. I will update this story weekly whenever I can, and always welcome comments and suggestions to better the story. Please read and enjoy! :)

Chapter 1: Awesome~ The first chapter was great! ^.^

Even though it was short-ish, it definitely showed the personalities of Donghae and Lilly well, and was a nice intro to the story.

I wonder what their first letters would be like, though? Do they send each other a photo of themselves on the first few letters, or will they do that later on?

Actually don't tell me. I want to be surprised! :p

After reading this, I can't wait for the second chapter~
