As I was early in the morning running happily to the tree around 5 am in the morning, i couldn't hide my excitement. Knowing that there might be a letter waiting for me, I couldn't really hold back the happiness or the excitement, the feelings of reading his letters again ..

I stopped just a few feet away from the tree and as I walked closer, my heart started to beat faster and faster

"Please.. please.." I mumbled

I closed my eyes right in front of the tree. Slowly I opened the right eye and then the left. Just like I expected, a blue neat letter were waiting for me

I squealed happily as I took it and looked at it with happiness

"You're back.." I whispered

I started to head back to the house as I was holding onto it dearly. I was afraid of that I might ruin it.. and also afraid that I might loose it..

As soon as I stepped inside the house, i took off my shoes and ran to my bedroom and sat down on the bed comfortably as I unfolded the letter

My hands were shaking since I really couldn't control them. Overly happy for a letter.. isn't that.. weird?

"Dear..

It's been a few months but why does it feel like Lifetimes to me? ^^
I've been waiting eagerly for this day to come and finally it is here. I'm back here on the countryside. I'm just going to finish this letter so that I can go to the tree and put it there, and hopefully there will be a lot of letters waiting for me.. Sometimes I feel guilty for not being able to give you as much letters as you're giving me.. Mianhe~~
But the two weeks that I'm staying out here, I'll try to give you as many as I can..
Have you been well? Did you fall sick? Have you been.. sad or anything?
If you have tell me. Tell me everything, details.. everything of what happened.. I want to know..

From ... With Love"

"You're back!!" I whispered and held the letter close to my chest.

Without hesitation I walked over to my desk, took out a new pink letter as I started to write another letter to him

When I walked into the kitchen this morning, the whole family was already gathered. My cousins sitting and eating cereals as the adults were drinking coffee and talking happily

"Good Morning" My Aunt smiled

"Oppa !!" Min Jung smiled happily

"Annyeong Min Jung ah~~ Did you sleep well?" I smiled

She nodded

I grabbed a plate and took some pancakes and a glass of water and started to eat.
It had taken me 4,5 hours to read through all the letters she had written and I wasn't tired at all. I loved reading her letters.. Everything.. every letter that was neatly written by her, I was just taking it all in since I've missed the handwriting of hers, the scent of her letters..
Just being able to talk to her again..

I had also written a letter, A LONG ONE to answer her letters..
I guess living out here isn't that bad. I mean.. She must have really missed me and just like she did when we were younger, she wrote one letter everyday, telling me what happened and then she put it in the three..

I was really .. feeling sorry towards her since I couldn't really give her the same happiness as she gave me but I was trying very hard to read long letters.. just to let her know what happened in my life..

"What are you smiling for?"

Aunt pushed my arm lightly and I woke up from my thoughts. The adults had quieten and they were looking curiously at me

"Mwoh?" I chuckled

"You.. smile.. so happily.. for some reason.. and it's only morning.. I remember when you told us to let you sleep.. but nowadays.. you smile even when you're not talking to anyone but kind of.. disappearing from the reality. Did something happen?" My aunt smirked

I scratched the back of my head as I laughed

"Aniyo.. Wae?" I asked

"Well.. a guy would never smile like that for no reason.." Mom laughed

I rolled my eyes and looked at my Uncle and dad

"Help please?" I asked

"We're staying out of this one. When it comes to lovey dovey stuff, We can't win" Dad laughed and Uncle joined him

I rolled my eyes

"It's nothing.. I'm just happy to be back here again" I smiled

"Chincha?" Mom eyed me

I laughed

I hurried to finish my breakfast before they would question me like Cops and I hurried back to my bedroom.
I put the bunch of letters inside the bag neatly, so that I wouldn't ruin them and then grabbed my blue thick letter and went outside

"Where are you going?" Mom asked

"I'll be back soon. Just out for a walk"

I started to walk away from the house, well not walking more like, jogging.. hurrying to the tree, excited and hoping that there might be a letter there.
After 20 minutes I finally reached the tree and I hurried over to the tree to find another pink letter waiting for me.

I put the blue letter of mine inside the tree and took the pink letter and started to walk home.
As I was walking, i knew that I couldn't read this quietly at home so I decided to walk down to the lake, not far away from there and read it

The sun were shining , the sky was blue as I could hear the soft wind blowing, the trees following the sound.. The nature's sound could be so soothing.. relaxing..

I arrived at the lake about 10 minutes later and I sat down on the stone as I opened it slowly

" Dear...

Finally you're back. I've been waiting for so long.. Not knowing what to do as I've been.. reading your old letters over and over again. I can't really describe to know that you're finally back..
I guess that you know everything that happened to me when you have been reading the bunch of letters of mine. Strange.. Aren't I ? Mianhe~~ ^^
So.. you practically know everything that happened to me when you weren't here.. IT's always been the same.. not much have happened..
Even though you just arrived.. I still feel like.. there's only a few hours until you'll leave again.. sad huh?
I wish you could stay here.. so that I have someone to talk to.. It's really lonely..
How's your life ? Are you spending everyday well? Don't waste it! Life's too precious..!!
I'll be waiting for your reply! Hurry araso? ^^

From.. With Love.."

I folded the letter again as i smiled brightly at the sky.
I knew that it was only for 2 weeks but to me and her.. it felt like it was.. like.. 1 day..
Days could pass by and I guess both of us spent the time by only walking back and forth to put the letters in the tree and to take the other ones letter..

I chuckled

But I won't complain..

Just being here and knowing that she's here.. was already making me whole.. The piece of my heart that was missing.. were already on it's right place right now..

I looked down at the water's surface and saw my reflection

My smile and my face.. my eyes looked more different..
Just like mom and Aunt said.. maybe I was a bit different..
But who wouldn't?
If there's a person that's able to bring you happiness, just by writing you a letter..

Who wouldn't smile?

But as for me, It was making more than just smiling..

I was more like.. feeling warm..
I don't know if they call it being in love..

But even though it might sound strange to others, to have a crush on someone that you've never met, not knowing their name or their looks but you know everything about them except for the most ordinary things..

It's quite.. awkward isn't it?

I think if I had told the guys about this, they would probably knock me off my feet, saying that I've gone crazy

I chuckled to myself

But in my opinion..
Just crazy for love..
