Hi, I'm Kim Min-ji in the first class. Maybe this is the first letter to you. You had a good time at school today, didn't you?
Tomorrow is the pepero day, so will you pack peperoes for some people?
Me? Um..At first, I decided not to buy peperoes, however, two friends asked me to give them!
I have to buy them after 1 hour. And I think that pepero day is a burden to me because it really bothers me and I have to waste my money!
Anyway do you remember the time when we went to the same English academy? At that time we used to talk and laugh very much, but after stopping going to the academy, I couldn't see you. I could stay at home more than before, on the other hand I missed many friends from other schools. Especially I missed you and a smart friend, Ye-seol.
I couldn't see you for one year. We became fourteen-year-old girls, graduated from elementary school, and enter the same middle school. At the Enterance ceremony, suddenly a memory about you stroke me. And I made up my mind to meet you after entering school. But I could see you about 1~2 times. I thought we couldn't meet often because your class is far from my class.
We took the middle term, the first test after entering middle school. And I took the first place and you took the second place in school(Do not take what I am saying is a self-respect!). In fact, before taking the test, I didn't think that you are good at studying except English. But you study well!
I thought that you would start to talk with me because you took the second place. But this wasn't true. I saw you and wanted you to speak to me first. You saw me often but you didn't say anything to me. Suddenly I regarded you as a cold-hearted friend and thought that maybe you forgot a lot about me! And I didn't think that you are a good student from May to 11/6.(....)
But this Monday, when we went to a writing contest, I could talk to you very much. You were very funny and kind at every conversation. And you weren't a cold-hearted student!
I am very sorry for this. It was just a mis-judgement about you. I thought you are not a good student but this wasn't true. In fact I wanted to start to talk with you, but I couldn't. Because I am still shy to talk with people whom I meet first time. So I wanted you to meet me and begin to speak to me. And maybe you wanted me to do that, too.
Now, I think that I thought rashly about your attitudes to me.
I am really sorry for thinking you to a cold-hearted friend.
And I'd like to be a good friend to you now.
Now it's 10:10 p.m. I have to go to a market to buy peperoes. Have a good night and bye.
