Chapter 43: A Hundred Days of Letterhead

“oppa!”

Sure enough, Qian Mingxun counted to three, and Yuna reluctantly turned around.

"I didn't go. Okay, I'm just here watching you, go upstairs. ”

Cheon Myung-hoon took two steps forward and Yun'a for the last time, and finally coaxed her into the corridor.

After taking a few steps back, standing downstairs and watching the lights turn on and out one by one, Cheon Myung-hoon left quietly as if he had completed his mission.

Today is 29 December 2003.

It is also the 100th anniversary of their relationship.

(September 20 - December 29)

Tomorrow is the final exam of Cheon Myung-hoon's first year of high school, and Yoona's family will leave for a family trip the day after tomorrow.

The idea was proposed by her sister Lin Yunzhen.

Because after she went to college, she got a student loan from the state, and she could also work in her spare time to earn money.

The family's financial conditions have become much better, and she really wants to let her father, who has always been burdened, relax and rest, and also want to leave more good memories of her sister's childhood.

And not only this year, if the family is very happy, Lin Yunzhen wants to plan a family trip every year in the future.

Yuna is also very much looking forward to it, she wants to see the outside world.

School, home, and company, such a three-point and one-line life has lasted for too long.

Every day when you walk through the intersections of the city that extend in all directions, but you have no choice. Yuna can't help but imagine the scenery on the other side of the street.

Even growing up in this bustling capital, there are many places that Yuna has never visited.

Haven't even heard of it.

Yuna is a very traditional girl in her bones and doesn't know how to rebel. She's naughty, she loves to laugh, but it's all very moderate.

Yuna has always lived under the conditions set by the rules, and has never had the idea of disobedience.

After discovering Yuna's true appearance, Cheon Myung-hoon was even more distressed.

With so many limitations, why can you still smile so brightly?

But now that I know you like to laugh, I'll clear all the obstacles in this world for you.

First of all, it would take me ten years...... Kill all the chickens in the world.

————

With the help of her sister, Yuna finally passed her father's level.

Seeing her father care so much about herself, Yuna also felt very guilty in her heart.

Father is also a very traditional man, and ...... And don't believe in love.

Sister Yunzhen's attitude is also to suggest hiding it first, and then talk about it when it is suitable later. There is no need to annoy your father right now.

Yuna nodded lightly and decided to listen to her sister. In Yun'er's heart, her sister is the parent, and there is no essential difference between her and her father.

In fact, Lin Yunzhen has another reason, but she didn't say it: you may not wait for the right day to appear, and you have already separated.

Of course, there is no need to say it now, just as if nothing happened. Everyone is fine, and my father will not know.

Although Cheon Myung-hoon has been recognized by Lin Yunzhen, it does not mean that she thinks that this relationship will definitely have any results.

Cheon Myung-hoon is good and has few shortcomings. But that's why she has such concerns.

Lin Yunzhen felt that with Cheon Myung-hoon's character, even if she separated, she wouldn't hurt her sister too much.

The reason why it is said that there is too much harm and not harm, Lin Yunzhen thinks very clearly.

Every sincere relationship will leave a wound after separation. It's inevitable.

But love still has to be discussed, and it can't always be groundless, thinking about the end before it starts.

You can't live like that.

People live in this world and will always suffer all kinds of suffering. The direction we strive for is to do our best to make ourselves less miserable.

It's not a good metaphor, but since it's always going to exist, just avoid it as much as possible.

So as the object of her first love, Lin Yunzhen feels that Cheon Myung-hoon is very suitable.

In the contact, Lin Yunzhen found that Qian Mingxun's three views were correct and serious.

Not particularly sunny and cheerful type though. But the character is firm, and there is a delicacy that is almost girlish.

The most important thing is that he is very mature, and his mental age may be on par with his own.

The reason why there is such a judgment is because Lin Yunzhen feels that people who have gone through the college entrance examination have completed their transformation. There is an insurmountable gap between freshman year and junior year of high school. Only by crossing it in person can we see the world more clearly.

But surprisingly, she and Cheon Myung-hoon don't seem to have this kind of obstacle. The communication is very natural, as if ...... The other party has also experienced it.

It is true that girls are more precocious, and my sister Yun'er has begun to be sensible now. If the other party is a very immature boy, Lin Yunzhen will feel that something is wrong.

But Cheon Myung-hoon is not only suitable in terms of age, but also in mental age. When he gets along with his sister, he may be closer to the way she and Yuna do.

It's more about giving than taking. Thoughtful care, meticulous care.

Even if they are separated later, the memories are more like a pity than a regret.

It didn't feel like a breakup, it just didn't get together.

In the dim light of an old-fashioned desk lamp, Yuna sat quietly at her desk.

The pale blue letterhead in her hand was almost rendered orange, but this color made Yuna feel warmer.

It's like a warm touch, or a tightly wrapped hug.

This is the same feeling that Cheon Myung-hoon gave her.

"Although I want to give you more than this letter. But this letter, I can only give you today. And everything else, every day in the future, will do. ”

I remember that when Cheon Myung-hoon gave her the letter, he said so.

We haven't been together for a long time, but I feel more and more that I liked it right at the beginning.

Cheon Myung-hoon is not the kind of person who only knows how to be gentle.

Therefore, his occasional affectionate expression is even more meaningful.

Yuna unfolded the letter paper meticulously folded in half, and read it word by word, starting from the first line.

……

oppa。 I don't love you either, and I don't want to love you in my life.

Before Cheon Myung-hoon fell asleep, he received a text message from Yoon-a.

Hehe, this clever ghost!

Got it, you go to bed early. Good night.

After a simple reply to Yuna, Cheon Myung-hoon also had to go to bed.

After all, there is an exam tomorrow, and although Qian Mingxun is very confident, it doesn't mean that he can't face it seriously.

People always say that they think during the day and dream at night.

"Yuna, I hope I can dream of you tonight. ”

Before falling asleep, Cheon Myung-hoon had only this thought in his mind.

Yun Yun:

When you read this letter, it's the hundredth day of our relationship.

Actually, it's not a special day.

Because in the future, we will experience countless more such 100 days.

Until we are never separated, so there is no need to commemorate again.

As always, I still like you so much. It has not been reduced by a single bit, nor has it been increased by a fraction.

If you see this, you are entangled in why I say like and not love.

I'm going to talk to you about it. Although the way of discussion is that I say, and you obediently listen.

I don't love you, I just like you.

Because: like is presumptuous, love is restraint, like is possession, love is letting go.

I haven't liked enough of you. So, I don't want to love you.

Yes, I don't love you right now, I just want to like you as much as I can.

Maybe it's the colder weather that makes my heart's desire for warmth grow.

So I'm starting to become more and more sensitive to anything that has to do with you.

The words you use on the phone, to every pause and gasp.

Even the different curvatures of the handwriting in your reply, I can imagine how you felt at the moment of writing.

I asked myself, when did this symptom begin?

These new thoughts, new habits, new ...... Superpowers.

It's not as simple as having one more Lin Yun'er in my life.

But from that day on, every time I give, I have a double purpose.

Eat, sleep, study, practice.

These little things that I used to take for granted are no longer just for me, but also for you.

Determination to become better for you willingly.

Because of you, I became a whole new me.

Even though my busy life deprives me of the only pleasure I have.

But your name has become the whole meaning of my early and late bedtime.

We haven't traveled every inch of Korea yet, and we haven't experienced every season in the world.

I know that the unknown must have something special, and I will wait for the day when we meet.

The new year has gradually arrived.

In this short and long winter, our story may have to draw a brief break.

I'm still on record, and I'm pretty sure that there will be countless beautiful moments in the future.

You may not believe it, but I often imagine how wonderful and lovely you are.

But when I actually met you, you were much more beautiful and lovely than I imagined.

You can't say I'm lying, because otherwise I could have just wanted to remember you for myself, and I wouldn't have had to be so eager to see you.

But even after meeting you, I still can't help but want to remember you and dream of you.

Then I wake up and feel very much in love with you.
