Dear, You Pv : Min-seo Kim Ended(⌒▽⌒)☆

Min-seo rubbed her eyes as she got up. She woke up early, due to not being able to sleep for some reason. She decided to go into the common room to sit of=n one of the couches. She didn't know if she was aloud to be up this early in the morning, but she was already dressed and ready for the day. Her little Mary Jane shoes clicked on the floor, echoing in the silence. It was peaceful, but it was weird not to see the common room bustling with life. She saw an owl tapping on the window. She opened it for them and the owl dropped something on the table. She looked at the table to see a letter, of some sort. She read it silently and looked at the flowers. She smiled sadly. Poor person. She totally understood the nightmare. She took a piece of parchment and a quill and began to write one back.

Dear person who won't say their name,

I'm sorry about your nightmare. If you don't mind, I'll tell you about my own I had a few days ago that still haunts me.

I was about seven. I was sitting in my old family home, playing with a stuffed rabbit. Suddenly, an alarm went off. I ran out my door and saw that there was a fire. My brother grabbed me and we ran for our lives. We made it out, but the rest of my family perished.

Now, what I told you was a real story. That happened to me. This dream haunts me constantly, so I know how scary it is to lose your family. I want to give you hug and tell you it's alright, but you're not here, so I'll tell you through the paper.

Lots of love,
The Stranger in Bouncy Shoes

She finished and handed it to the owl. "Can you give this to the person who wrote this?" she said. The owl hooted softly and flew away.

The next morning, for the first time ever, the ever so graceful Fumiko Tachibana, spat out her drink. Coughing out the remaining liquid and painfully aware of how some Hufflepuffs were giving her a look she pretended to message her throat and said to the random student next to her in a hoarse voice " Oh dear, I think my cough is coming back..." looking dejected.

Though it made the students around her stop looking at her, the random student she used as an acting partner only looked at her oddly before moving seats. Well, one person who didn't see her as graceful was fine.


It was a painful realization of her fears bubbling inside her right now, enough to make her hands shake under the table. She definitely did not expect a letter back, much less one that contained another dark secret of another. She tried to look around her, it was a normal morning in the Great Hall. Students all different ages sat here idly to eat and chatted up with their friends before class starts or fall asleep eating.

She was painfully aware of how someone probably in this room right now was the Stranger in Bouncy Shoes. Perhaps a professor? Perhaps someone she knew before? Whatever it was, she tried to kill the thrill she felt inside her.

Writing letters so someone who seemed to have a dark history of their own? She looked at the same owl she saw this morning, ruffling his feathers in front of her. " You're good at this~. " Fumiko muttered to the owl, secretly giving him a piece of chicken from her breakfast.

Child Fumiko would scream in joy but this isn't Child Fumiko. This was 12 year old Fumiko who was terrified of sharing anything to anyone.

But...she couldn't help but re-read the letter again, and again, and again. Probably memorising it by now. She was already feeling so much devastation when her parents sent her to live with her aunt. But the Stranger with Bouncy Shoes shared a much darker 'nightmare' and it just seemed too cruel to leave just like that.

With shaken hands, she left the Great Hall and her half-eaten breakfast after telling the owl to stay there and tried to speed walk towards the common room, telling bystanders who asked her where she was going in such a hurry that she forgot her homework, which they nodded in understanding

Arriving in her common room, she picked a secluded area of the place and started writing in the same pen she used this morning.

Dear Stranger with Bouncy Shoes,

Honestly the one that needs a hug is you

She twirled the pen around her nimble fingers. That sounded a bit too aggressive....but she didn't know what else to say. She felt bad complaining about her parents leaving her when the Stranger with Bouncy Shoes lost her family instantly in a fire.

Sure, she had a distaste for her parents and her convincing fake smile could twitch at the mention of them but she never wanted them dead.

She began to write again.

Dear Stranger with Bouncy Shoes,

Honestly the one that needs a hug is you. I feel like I'm just petty complaining about a nightmare when you've gone through a real nightmare. I'm impressed how you strong you are to face that kind of history. It hurts me to hear about someone losing their family. They must've been amazing people to have you remember them to this day.

I lost my family in a way you might hit me if I say, but I think it's safe to assume we really are just two strangers who miss their family. Miss...this is probably the first time I admitted it. And it was to a stranger. Though letter.

she laughed a little, before putting the patchment and pen down. She looked around the plant filled Common Room, trying to find a flower with a perfect meaning to represent what she wanted to say.

Now usually, you aren't supposed to take plants that belonged to the Common Room but you can plant your own and use it however you like.

Fumiko had quite a few here. Snapping a Daffodil of its stem, she placed it near the letter and began to write again :

Here's a Daffodil. I like you enough to tell you the name. It signifies New beginnings, re-birth and unrequited love. I like to think of this flower as a remembrance that despite my past and no matter how negatively it affects me, I still have a future that I can be happy in. A future where I am content with myself despite the past.

Forgive me, I'm not good with words...especially comfort but I hope this flower manages to convey what I wanted to say to you. I also hope it didn't get ruined in this letter

With bigger hugs,
Person who still won't tell you their name

P.S, aren't you curious in who I am? Or about the flower I sent?

And flower sealed in, and done.

Now this letter had to be sent after classes since that darn owl didn't listen to Fumiko's request and she only reunited with him at the end of the day.

The letter would be sent to Stranger with Bouncy Shoes tomorrow but that was fine with Fumiko.

Min-seo was walking on the grounds when she felt something land on her shoulder. It was the owl from two days ago. she jumped in surprise, causing the owl to screech. She laughed apologetically. "My goodness, you startled me!" she said, petting it. She noticed the letter on his leg and untied it. She smiled. "Hold on just a minute please," she said to the owl, and then she began to write again.

Dear person who won't say their name,

Thank you. By the way, you're not petty, don't worry. Everyone has their problems, even if they may be different, that does not make one less important than the other. And yeah, they were, but that was 4 years ago. I try not to let it bring me down, instead I think about how they're supporting me from afar. And why would I hit you? Losing family is all the same, and so is missing someone. And yeah, I actually don't talk about my family too much, so congratulations with learning it even though I have no idea who you are.

I also want to say how cool it is that you find feeling in flowers. I love them myself, personally, and learning how you perceive brightens my day a lot. I wish I had a flower to send you in return,

Min-seo looked around and spotted a white rose bush and grabbed a small but perfect one.

I wish I had a flower to send you in return, oh wait, I do! I can't describe it like you do, but the white rose is my favorite type of flower. I'm not sure how to explain what I mean, but I just think they're beautiful. And you comforted me enough, you don't need to worry.

With love,

Girl in the bouncy shoes

P.S. Of course I am! I'm curious about most things.

She rolled the flower and sent it with the owl.

" Honestly, arn't you tired of being message carrier ? "

" Hoooot " Fumiko nodded, pretending to understand the owl.

Usually, she would find a secluded place to write her letters to her Stranger with Bouncy Shoes, but recently she had been more open about her writing letters. Currently, she sat at one of the arches of the corridors leading towards the Quidditch Pitch.

She insisted that she did this because the owl couldn't shut up if she was writing her letter indoors, and not to have a chance at meeting the stranger.

Dear Stranger with Bouncy Shoes,

Hahaha...I guess now I know you're more understanding than I thought. That's amazing, the world needs more people like you.

Honestly, same. I really don't open up about my real emotions to people. Even close friends. It's just the fear eating me up you know? I had a few friends before that was partly the reason why I don't open much as I did before. I don't blame them completely. I was the one that choose to to be this way. I find it funny how we're much more honest to strangers. It'll be an amusing memory to think about in the future.

Her cheeks slightly blushed at the compliment. She felt so embarrassed getting so flattered over a simple compliment from a stranger. She was starting not to regret sending that letter in the first place.

She took out the small white rose in the letter. A bit tattered, petals had brownish spots but overall it was still beautiful. She sniffed it slowly, inhaling the pure rosey scent with a smile before writing back

I love the flower! They really are lovely to look at. Some say the flower that finds you comfort is the flower that connects with you most. White roses are meant to symbolise purity, innocence and sympathy. Does it seem to connect with you?

Pity...I don't have any flowers with me this time...I'd love to show you more...I mean..if it doesn't annoy you...

I'm not really sure how my words would comfort you as yours did to me, but I'm honestly really glad. I'm also glad to send that random letter in the first place. If I hadn't we probably would never communicate.

With even more hugs,
PWWSTN ( because I'm too lazy to write it all )

PS. Well, I'm curious why you went along with me calling you Stranger with Bouncy Shoes.

With each passing letter, Fumiko seemed more and more relaxed talking to her stranger. Tying the letter to the owl with a genuine smile before sending it off, barely containing her excitement to get a reply.

"Oh! It's you again! Hello my little friend!" Min-seo smiled at the owl as it dropped the letter in her hand in her common room. She took out the pen that she as going to use and a piece of parchment.

Dear PWWSTN (Yeah I admit it's way easier to write it this way),

Really? I feel like there are lots of people like me, if you know where to go. I just don't like people who act like, YoU cAn TrUsT mE, and then they lie to you, after you've told them all you can. Guess who went through this. Me. I had this one friend who wouldn't stop lying to me, so I broke ties with him. I think that's the reason I don't tell people things that often anymore. And I know right? I feel like it's easier to open up to someone you don't know. But hey, we might know each other, but in this we're strangers.

She smiled. The person liked the flower! Good, she was happy about that.

But hey, we might know each other, but in this we're strangers.

I'm glad you liked the flower! I do think that the white rose represents me. A lot of people think I'm naive haha, and I'd love to think I'm kind to people, am I? And of course it doesn't annoy me, I love the flowers you send. And I'm glad that I'm talking to you, it feels like a big weight has been lifted off of my chest.

With lots and lots of love,

The Stranger in the Bouncy Shoes

P.S. Oh, I don't really know, it was in your first letter to why not?

She smiled and tied it with one to the red ribbons she usually wore in her hair and sent it with the owl.

Dear Stranger with Bouncy Shoes,

I have named the owl who keeps sending our letters ' Hootwards'. Perhaps he feels more calmer around you but when he's with me, he never shuts up. Objections?

" See Hootwards, you're important to me and Stranger with Bouncy Shoes. You happy? "

He hooted in response

Back to the letter, oph yes I understand that. I see we have much more in common than Ithought. Toxic relationships are just so tiring. It's kinda scary to think we were so intoxicated with their so called ' friendship '.

Though they made it harder for me to bond with people as quickly as others, I supposed they did thought me not to be too trusting of others.

' Never give love when you have none for yourself ' is what I concluded from the whole story. I'm so glad you broke ties with him. It must've been difficult to do that. For me, it definitely was.

I don't think we're strangers at this point. I like you far too much to call you stranger anymore. And all we did was send a few letters to each other. Or...am I being too quick?

Fumiko pursed her lips. Was she? She noticed her walls were less thick than before. Fumiko really didn't understand, she was only sure that the Stranger with bouncy shoes had captured her interest.




Whatever it is, she didn't want to think about it now.

hahahah~ Ohh I bet your friends love to tease you then~ I mean, I shouldn't say when I tend to be gullible at times too. Someone told me they came from the jungle and had been growing up with animals all her life and I actually believed it for a while. ;-; . So embarrassing... .

Give me a in-direct hive- five as another who had faced something similar! YEayyyyyyy~

Really? I'll definitely send more in future letter ! And, I've said this multiple times but : same . I never felt so calm talking to someone, and have them relate so much. How are we not best friends at this point?

With more and more and more hugs,
Itchy Feathers

p.s, I was half asleep writing that first letter though ahhahaha.We should create real codenames for each other. You may forever be the Stranger with Bouncy shoes but I rather not be called PWWSTN so often ahahha. From now on, you may address me as ' Itchy Feathers ' . ( Because I see Hootwards pecking his wing )



Just as she finished writing, she saw the red ribbon she didn't notice before, her head tilting in response. Where had she seen that ribbon before? She swore she saw it at least once. Well, red ribbons arn't that common and the Stranger with Bouncy Shoes might just so happen to have a red ribbon near them.

p.s.s, what a lovely ribbon you used. But why the sudden change? Are you giving me a clue on who you are? Or you just happen to have a red ribbon near you? I'm currently having a crisis on weather on not I send it back or keep it.

And she thought long and hard for more than 10 minutes

I decided to keep it. The shade of red in this ribbon is too lovely. I'll send it back with my next letter . ( I guess you should think twice before sending a pretty ribbon to me from now on harharhar )
...

Im kidding please don't hate me

WITH EXTRA HUGS,
Itchy Feathers

She chuckled as she finished the letter, tying it to Hootwards and giving him a piece of the bread she was eating before sending him off.

Min-seo took the letter from the owl as it perched itself on her head. She laughed a bit.

Dear Itchy Feathers (Love the new name it's so much easier to write,)

Hootwards is cool. He is kind of perched on my head at the moment, I wish I could show you a photo. It's hilarious. Oh wait.

She grabbed the polaroid camera from beside her and took a picture of the owl. Hootwards was scared of the flash and squawked. It stayed on her head though. She took the photo and laughed so hard at the face that he made.

Ha, I took one, and you still can't see my face >:3.

I'm sorry you had to go through that too. It was horrible. And the lesson is SO TRUE. The only problem is I still don't love myself, but I want people to feel better than I'm feeling. I know that one day, I will love myself, but for now, in my young body, I don't love myself.

And I totally agree. You're more of a friend than a stranger. I love talking to you.

And yeah, my friends tease me ALL THE TIME. Like CONSTANTLY. I'm like a 5 year old in an 11 year old body (I'm turning 12 in August but still) It's painful. I need to stop being so gullible.

Hi fiiiiivvvveeeee!

Yep! And that's a great question. I have no idea.

Love you lots,

White Rose (ha I changed mah name, it was too long to write and I'm lazy ;-;)

P.S. That's an interesting name to randomly come up with (still like it doh) and I'm lazy so I changed mine as well :3

P.S.S. Why thank you, and yes, it is a clue. A small one at that, but it's a clue. And you can totally keep it, I have a bunch more

More love,

White Rose

She placed the photo with the letter and tied it with a white ribbon this time to be sent off.

She took the polaroid in her hands and scanned it with a joyous laugh. She couldn't help but feel how comfortable White Rose is getting with talking to her. It surprised her a bit when White Rose showed a bit of a playful side, but it was a nice side.

" You look good here, Hootwards~ " Fumiko teased the owl as she showed him the polaroid.

Fumiko had to cover her ears with how loud Hootwards squawked at her. Eyeing the owl showing a dominant stance, she tsked. " I do this because I like you, damn bird " she grumbled grabbing her pen to write a response back.

Dear White Rose,

Oh my it truly did gave me a good laugh. I teased him about it and he screamed at me. He must like you loads then, currently, he's scooting futher away from me, still giving that angry look. Perhaps I was a bit too much but the photo was just to good ahhaha. I'll keep it so I can find someone to copy it so both of us can have it. This is a memory to be remembered! :>


Ishhh, at least I got your hair~black hair I see~? Should put this down on my notes dedicated to finding out who you are. Let's make it a game to see who can figure out who the other is ? :3

W h O w II L pReVAiL ?

Im curious to find out~ So far I'm in the lead since you showed your hair and ribbons. I should send something of mine too...

She stopped writing and looked around her dorm room. Her eyes stopped at a few sheets of paper on her desk. She grinned as she hoped of her bed, taking a piece of those papers and used a ruler to cut it in quarter. Perfect to fit in a letter.

Here it is~ It's not much but it's the only one I can show now since I don't have a polaroid. Music sheets~ You'll probably need someone to translate it if you don't play the violin. It's a piece of mt favourite tune to play. ' Melody of the Blue Roses ' . At least now you know I play the violin :3 that's something right? heheh~ >:>

Aww...it's a pity, I hope you feel the joy for yourself the way I feel when I talk to you. You better tell me if you feel down or I swear to Hootwards and his angry face that I'll hunt you down myself. Clear ? :>

I mean...I don't feel like I love myself fully but I like how I came to terms with how I am, and yes, maybe in the future it'll be different. I hope the best for both of us :> I'm sure with enough time and support we will get to that point! I'm rooting for your happiness sweetie~ ( see how much I like you now? I call you sweetie. I don't do that to a lot of people alright? )

YAYYYY~ :> glad the felling is mutual

Hhehehehe~ wish I could be there to see it~ > < . It's hard when you already are though. Tell me when you find out a way to cure it ;>

Ohhhh~ August?? that's a month from now! I see I have time to give a gift. You're a Leo thenn~ the ambitious and honest UwU Horrayyy~ Personally I don't believe astrology 100% but it's just fun to read them ahhah.

We gotta fix that soon then.

HUGS HUGS,
Itchy Feathers

P.S, looovinnnn the new name thoughhhh!!

P.S.S, I'll keep these then, thank you very much. Mind giving me another red and white one? For um....reasons. They pretty and all . Oh and I'll send a better clue in the next letter.

MORE HUGS HUGS,
Itchy Feathers ❤

" Alright Hootwards, I'm done~ You can go back to-" Fumiko didn't need to finish the sentence before Hootwards came flying to her, eagerness in his large eyes to go back to White Rose. Man, what did they do to make this annoying owl like them so much?

She placed the music note in the letter and tied it before sending it off.

She gave a low sigh. Now she needs to think of vague clues for White Rose to figure out. She loved this game they were planning, curious to see who would win. With a smirk that didn't suit her adorable face, she went back to her transfigurations homework.

Min-seo gave a hard, long look at the piece of sheet music. She'd never seen it in her life, but she wanted to know who this 'itchy feathers' was. The owl was propped on her shoulder.

Dear Itchy Feathers,

Oof, that's funny but I'm sorry. Glad it gave you a laugh.

Ha! You're right! I do have black hair. And THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE IN THE LEAD IS BECAUSE I ACTUALLY SENT CLUES! Now I am calmly pouting in the corner. And I'm not going to send you anything this round. Why? You have two clues and I have one. So unfair :,<

And I don't play the violin, but I play another instrument, actually I play three. They're all pretty different. I'll let you try and figure them out :3

And I promise when I am down I'll go to you. I promise, pwease don't come after meh. ;-; I can't imagine Hootwards angry face. He's nuzzling my own, and I'm trying hard not to sneeze.

Yeah, I hope the best for the both of us too! I feel like a lot of people at this school deal with things that shouldn't be dealt with at such a young age. I feel bad for them.

YaAaAaAaAaAaAaaAaaaaaY!!!!!

I totally will when I find it. Same goes for you if you find it before meh :3

Yep! And you're wrong about my sign! MUAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA okay I'm done with my laugh. So I was born at the end of August, making me a Virgo. :3 (And same but reading them is fun if you're bored.)

With as much love as I can give,

White Rose

P.S. Thanks! I'm glad!

P.S.S. I'll send you a red one for now, then in the next letter I'll send you a white one.

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE,

White Rose

Min-seo tied it with one of her red ribbons and sent it off with Hootwards.
