For over ten years now we have known each other, ever since before our idol debut. Even today it seems like I am still learning new things about you.
It started when we met. I learned that you always smile. It didn’t take me long after that to learn how to tell your smiles apart. They were not all the same. Many were a defense mechanism, to keep awkward and negative things at bay. Your true smiles being the ones that close your eyes from view, just like mine.
I learned that while you may be a bit of a cowardly lion, afraid of many things, you are still strong and have a sturdy soul that gets you through the darkest of times. It didn’t matter if it was your parent’s resistance to you becoming an idol or netizens attacking you. With time you never failed to prove yourself.
I learned that your religion didn’t keep you from loving whomever your heart chose to love. While that gave me hope, it still meant you that belonged to someone else.
Last week you slid a note in my hand as you walked past. "Just like each minute and each second are different, day by day, you become new." I learned that maybe, just maybe, you have felt the same for me that I do for yo
