week 4

from: garden

to: y/n

--i like your new haircut; it looks so nice on you. i saw this hairclip and thought it would flatter your hair. i hope you like it.

she sighed with no hint of surprise, reading the tag and calling over yunjin to rant.

"isn’t this the third?" she asked, looking down at the gift on y/n’s desk solemnly.

"nope... fourth," she looked down bashfully. yunjin snorted and hit her friend playfully.

"wow, y/n… this ‘garden’ boy really likes you!"

"i can’t even enjoy the gifts. i don’t even know who to thank. what if they’re from a creep?" an exaggerated shiver went up y/n’s spine.

on top of y/n’s desk, a small gift had been appearing weekly, all from this mysterious person. at first, it was flattering to y/n. however, as the gifts continued appearing, she grew curious about this "garden" boy, and she began to overthink all of her interactions with her classmates to try and figure out who he was. however, aside from the usual superficial banter and homework explaining, there were no interactions to overanalyze.

however, on her way home that day, she saw a group of boys practically skipping out of the nearest convenience store, each carrying a ridiculous number of snacks. she noticed they wore her same school uniform but assumed they were from another class since she didn’t recognize them. to avoid any unnecessary attention, y/n tried walking around them, but a boy holding a sausage stumbled against her.

"oh! i'm so—" while turning around to see who he had crashed into out of pure ignorance, his voice faltered. y/n looked between him and the fallen sausage on the floor with a shocked expression.

"i'm sorry; should i buy you a new one? such a waste…" while searching her bag for pocket money, one of his friends behind him spoke up, breaking the silence.

"that would be nice... wouldn’t it, jungwon?" he shared a look with the sausage boy, hiding a grin. she guessed it was quite an embarrassing moment for the boy, as his face was blood-red.

"would you do that?" he asked shamefully. she looked behind him at his friends’ various facial expressions, from slight smiles to ridiculous grins. y/n found this situation, while unusual, quite hilarious. she had never seen such a dorky group of boys before. she chuckled, looking back at him.

"sure," she began walking inside the store, and she hadn’t noticed jungwon following her until he spoke up behind her.

"so, you’re from our school?"

"yeah. you’re jungwon, right?" she walked over to the cashier, paid for the sausage, and handed it over to him.

"you know my name?" his smile grew a bit as he looked down at her.

"your friend called you jungwon, so i could guess so," she said, looking over his face. she hadn’t realized how handsome this sausage boy was.

"oh, right… anyway, thank you for the sausage; i'll enjoy it!" he looked at the sausage and back at her, saying, "i'll see you around school, y/n." he quickly returned to his friends, who walked and chuckled while looking back at her.

she walked in the opposite direction, taking her usual path home. still only wondering two things—who those boys were and why the sausage boy knew her name.

y/n thought putting the gifts to use would be the most reasonable thing to do; not only would it help her pin point who "garden" was, but she would be enjoying some adorable gifts at the same time. that week, she went up to some of her classmates to ask if they had seen who had been dropping off the gifts.

"i did catch a glimpse of him a few weeks ago, actually," confessed yeri, one of the more introverted classmates in class 8, who usually spent her lunch break studying in the classroom.

"you did?!" y/n interrupted, not sparing her a moment. "who was it? do you know who he is?"

"he was really fast, so i couldn’t really see his face clearly, but he was wearing a green blazer that day." she stared off into nothing, trying to recollect sparse, week-old memories. "he was pretty tall too, if that helps you somehow."

"thank you, yeri; you’re awesome."

a green blazer—not a very unique item to own, but this was one step closer to her "garden" boy.

she wore the hairclip every day that week, clipping her hair back comfortably. she kept a keen eye on anyone who would acknowledge the hairclip.

it wasn’t until that wednesday during lunch that she walked around the school’s yard looking for yunjin, when she saw the group of boys she had met a couple of days before. they sat huddled together on the bleachers.

she looked over them and saw yunjin sitting a few feet from them. she began walking towards her friend until she noticed a familiar face peering up at her—a sausage boy.

"hey!" he stood up, catching the girl's attention. "remember me?"

"hm, the boy with the sausage, isn’t it?"

"yeah, jungwon," he replied kindly. "um, i actually wanted to thank you again for that day. it was really nice," he smiled.

"no problem," she said, noticing his gaze drift off to her hair. "whats wrong? is there something on my hair?" she touched the hairclip that sat on her head and looked back at jungwon.

"that hairstyle looks cute on you; it’s different." he looked at her confused face, blushing at her prolonged silence.

"thanks," she managed to stammer out. "i’ll get going now; see you."

jungwon smiled at the flustered girl who sped-walked towards her friend.

week 5

"this is risky," jungwon told his friend, who egged him towards the room of class 8.

"dude, i’m so tired of having to drop off the gift for you every time," jay groaned next to him, rubbing his temples. "it's about time you did it, alright?"

jungwon did admit that he was being a coward by not dropping off the gifts himself, but it avoided any chance of y/n catching him. he decided that day that he would do it.

"i'll make sure no one is in the classroom first," he said as he peeked inside the room, sighing once he found out that it was empty. he walked over to y/n‘s desk and placed the gift on it gently. he looked over the gift one last time and made sure it was sitting perfectly before the bell rang, causing him to run out of the classroom.

then he went over to jay, and they started to make their way to their classroom, which, to jungwon’s luck, was on the same floor as y/n’s. he sometimes excused himself in class just to catch a glimpse of her through her classroom windows.

"wait, i have to go to the bathroom; i'll meet you there." jay stopped in his tracks and turned back.

"alright," jungwon smiled to himself, proud that he was able to deliver the gift to her himself.

at the sound of the bell, y/n linked her arm with yunjin’s and made their way to their classroom. without a second to spare, she noticed the gift lying on top of her desk. she held it, looking towards the windows that showed the hall full of people. however, she only looked for one thing: that green blazer.

she walked into the hall, turning her head both directions, and to her surprise, she caught a glimpse of a green blazer a few feet away from her. the mess of the lunch break only made the hunt worse since she had to avoid and move away from students who tried getting inside their respective classrooms. they bumped and pushed around her, which only made it more difficult.

she could only hope that he hadn’t already entered his classroom, but she continued walking through the chaos of people. it wasn’t until she caught a grip on the green blazer’s sleeve that she managed to stop walking.

the boy turned around to see whoever held him back, and his eyes widened when he saw her.

"you’re ‘garden’, right?" she asked, eyebrows furrowed. he gently removed her grip from his blazer.

"no, i have no idea what you’re talking about." he tried walking away, but she held onto his arm.

"you are the one who has been leaving gifts on my desk. my classmate saw you," she told him accusingly. she looked down at his nametag, which read park jongseong.

"you must be confusing me with someone else." he moved his arm away from her grip and walked off from her as fast as he could. jungwon was going to kill him.

she was left speechless and confused. was he lying, or did she just embarrass herself?

once back at her desk, she sat down and opened her gift. it was an origami flower; she held it and read the tag that stuck off one of the paper petals.

from: garden

to: y/n

i'm glad you liked my last gift; you looked beautiful with it on. while this gift you can’t wear, i hope you enjoy it as much as i did making it for you.

y/n smiled as she held the paper flower, turning it around in her hand.

was this "jongseong" guy her "garden"?

later on, on their way home, she explained what had happened to yunjin.

"that’s ‘garden’? i would’ve never guessed it was him. i honestly thought it was his friend," she said.

"what do you mean? what friend?"

"you know, jungwon, the one you told me called you cute, or whatever?" yunjin answered while eating her snacks.

"he didn’t call me cute; he called my hairstyle cute," she said in a ‘matter of fact’ tone. yunjin laughed and shook her head.

"then maybe you should talk to jay." if he isn’t your boy, then he might know who it is. he did have the green blazer on after all," she shrugged.

"i have never talked to those boys before, apart from that one time," she looked down, thinking.

"do you want to find your "garden" boy or what?" y/n nodded, agreeing with her friend’s statement.

then, it was decided that y/n would try to talk to jay and see if he knew anything that would help her find him.

"jungwon, i have to tell you something." jay looked to his side at jungwon, who sat with him on the bus.

"what?"

"it’s about y/n." at the mention of her name, jungwon turned his body in jay’s direction.

"what happened? she didn’t like the gift?" his worry was evident on his face as he looked at his friend for an answer.

"no, not that. she, um, caught me during lunch."

"what do you mean i caught you, jay?" his eyebrows furrowed.

"she stopped me and asked me if i was the one who was giving her the gifts," he said, rubbing his neck while explaining.

"how did she find out?" he removed his bangs from his face and sighed out of worry.

she told me a classmate of hers saw me drop off a gift a few weeks ago. i’m sorry, jungwon, i wasn’t careful enough."

"now she thinks it's you, right? the one who's been sending the gifts?"

"you can tell her now, jungwon." tell her the truth." jay comforted his friend.

"i didn’t plan on confessing to her this early, jay." i don’t know what to do," he said, putting his face in his hands.

"we’ll plan something out; don’t worry."

that night, y/n sat on her bed, placing all five gifts in front of her. the first one was a cute ballpoint pen that she has been using ever since. right next to it, stood a small keychain that looked just like her that she kept pinned to her pencil case. the third was a pink candle that smelled like berries, which she lit every few days inside her room. the fourth was the hairclip, and a few inches away was the beautiful paper flower.

she sat back and analyzed the gifts, coming to one conclusion: this person had been keeping an attentive eye on her. he previously knew that she liked these things. that thought made her smile widely.

that night she went to sleep, thoughts lingering on her "garden" boy.

the next day, y/n stuck to her promise and set out to talk to jay. she glanced towards the boys’ usual spot in the yard and saw jungwon and jay talking alone, a bit distanced from the other five boys. she walked towards them, immediately catching their attention.

"um, hey," she greeted them both and then looked towards jay, "can i talk with you for a second?"

jay looked at jungwon and saw that he kept his stare stuck to the floor. "i’ll be right back, okay?" jungwon nodded, watching his closest friend and his long-time crush walk away from him together.

to say this hurt jungwon was an understatement. the universe had to be toying with him. the possibility of y/n believing that jay gave her the gifts and her eventually falling in love with him lingered in his mind for a bit too long.

y/n and jay walked towards a bench, a bit secluded from the rest of the students. jay cuts right to the chase, with no time to spare.

"what do you need to tell me?" he asked, looking at her fiddle with her fingers.

"you told me you weren’t the one leaving those gifts on my desk, right?" he nodded. "still, i have a gut feeling you know who has been gifting me—i’m certain that it was you who my classmate saw."

"alright, i’ll tell you the truth... i was the one dropping them off, but they’re not from me." he spoke clearly, hoping she would understand. he was too shy to drop them off himself, so i offered to drop them off for him."

"who’s ‘he’? i’ve been wondering for so long," y/n asked on the edge of her seat, hoping jay would tell her. "you know who he is, right?"

"yes, but i seriously can't tell you. he told me not to tell you," he told her, looking at her shoulders drop in disappointment.

"why? i’m just trying to thank him. honestly, i really enjoy the gifts," she looked down, whispering under her breath, "they make my heart flutter quite a bit."

jay heard her and chuckled.

"also, i'm sorry for mistaking you for him; i don’t want you to feel uncomfortable," she said, looking up at him.

"it’s alright, really. i should’ve been more careful; i don’t think i'm fit to deliver gifts mysteriously." they chuckled together, all tension leaving the air.

"she said that?" jungwon’s grin has never been wider. he felt his cheeks burn up out of excitement.

"yeah, now, don’t you think you should confess to her soon?" jay looked at his friend and considered his advice. "you know, she seemed pretty interested in meeting you."

"you didn’t tell her it was me, right?"

"no, but i sensed she had an idea of who it was. if she doesn’t, then she's pretty close to finding out; you're not that discrete, jungwon." jay told his friend, seeing him grimace in embarrassment.

"see, that’s where you are wrong—y/n is a smart girl, but she's clueless. ive liked her for a while, you know," jungwon admits, reaching inside his bag and pulling out a notebook.

"what are you doing?" jay observed his jungwon writing quickly in his notebook.

"i'm planning her sixth and final gift."

week 6

y/n’s thoughts had been completely taken over by her "garden" boy. so much so that when she noticed the end of that week approaching and her weekly gift not on her desk, she grew worried.

"maybe he stopped liking me, yunjin." she frowned, lying her head on her friend’s shoulder.

"don’t worry; besides, it's still thursday morning," she said, comforting y/n. she nodded against her shoulder. "do you still not have a clue who it is?"

"no, i’ve been trying to see who’s been around jay that might show me a bit of interest, but no one," y/n sighed.

"are you sure it isn’t his best friend? jungwon, was it?"

"why are you so sure that it's him? he's too handsome; i don’t think he would like me like that," y/n asked, looking up.

"well, i’m not sure, but it makes sense." yunjin shrugs. "gut feeling, i guess."

"we’ll see."

that day, during break, she decided to keep an eye on jungwon, as per yunjin’s suspicion. strangely enough, every time she tried to look for jungwon, she found him already looking at her and then immediately looking away.

besides, their last class period was cut short for mandatory attendance on the school soccer field. there were rumors that certain students were sneaking cigarettes and other prohibited items into the school, and the principal ordered the teachers to look through everyone’s bag.

"any student who might be suspicious will have to spend the rest of the evening in detention," a teacher shouted.

everyone got lined up according to their class, and coincidentally, y/n had to stand right next to jungwon.

"hey," he whispered, softly shoving his shoulder next to hers.

"hey, sausage boy," she said, showing him a small smile.

"you don’t have anything weird in that bag, right?" he asked her, chuckling.

"don’t think so," she said, looking away from him to the teacher, who stood a few feet away from her.

"empty your bag," the teacher said, slapping a long ruler against his other palm. "quickly, now!"

she took her bag and confidently began showing him his notebooks and cases, until she stumbled upon a small book that she hadn’t put in her bag that morning. she looked at it inside the bag and immediately shoved it back inside, eyes wide open.

"take that out. don’t hide anything!" the teacher demanded. she felt a few pairs of eyes burn behind her back, one of them being jungwon’s.

"i don’t know who put this in my bag, professor. i swear—" her words were cut short by the teacher harshly removing the book from her hands. he read the cover that read "the practical guide to interc—." he looked away in shame.

"this is not acceptable. detention for you, miss y/n." he grabbed her bag and began to lead her inside the school. on her way out of the field, she made eye contact with yunjin, who begged and mouthed her apologies.

she found it hilarious that the day her friend decided to play a prank on her, the universe had to come bite her in the ass, and it bit her hard. she swept and swiped practically every surface in the school as part of her detention, and there was no one she knew who could keep her company, making the hours even more torturous.

y/n managed to leave the school at around 7 and made her way to the bus stop, which she expected to be empty by now.

a familiar face caught her by surprise.

"jungwon?" at the mention of his name, he stood up, looking at her.

"um—hey," he scratched at his neck, "i thought you would be coming back late, so i waited."

"you didn’t have to do that, jungwon. thank you, though," she said, sitting on the stop’s bench next to him.

"it’s alright, but why would you have a book like that?" he chuckled.

"yunjin wanted to prank me, i guess," she sighed.

"what happened to your hands, y/n?" he grabbed them and looked them over. she softly removed them from his grasp and looked down at them.

"just a few callouses; i had to clean a lot during detention." she smiled, putting them inside her jacket.

"no, wait, he said as he looked inside his bag and grabbed some cream. "let me put some on them; they might bleed if you don’t treat them."

"alright," she put her hands out for him to grab, "thanks..."

he grabbed her hands and gently applied the ointment to her callouses. she shamelessly examined his facial features as he looked down at her hand. after he was done, he looked at her face, noticing how quiet she had become. he blushed, finding her eyes already locked with his.

"why are you doing these things for me? we barely know each other?" she asked kindly, looking down at her bandaged hands.

he turned away from her, looking once again inside his bag and pulling out a letter. he didn’t speak; he only handed her the letter.

"hm?" she grabbed it and read the envelope.

from: garden

to: y/n

her eyes widened. "it’s you, garden."

he nodded, looking away from her. "are you surprised?" he looked down at his fingers.

"you were right in front of me this whole time. i'm sorry i didn’t figure it out before, jungwon."

"that just means i was a good secret admirer. wasn’t i?" he smiled at her.

she smiled at him, hugging him tightly. "i've been dying to meet you, you know?"

he hugged her back and said, "i really wanted to tell you before this term ended, but all i have to say is inside that letter."

she pulled away, beginning to read the letter.

hey y/n,

there's something i've been keeping from you for far too long, and i can't hold it in any longer.

you know those little gifts that have been popping up on your desk? yeah, they were all from me. i couldn't resist finding small ways to brighten your day, even if it meant staying hidden.

i can't help but feel a warmth in my heart whenever i see you. and your smile—oh, your smile—could outshine the sun. you're the most wonderful and lovely person i've met, and i'm glad to have met you in this life.

i've been trying to find the right words to tell you how i feel, but they always seem to get tangled up in my heart. so, let me just say it plainly: i'm head over heels in love with you.

i don't know what the future holds, but i can't imagine it without you. if you feel the same way, i can't wait to see where this journey takes us. and if not, i'll cherish the memories we've created and i will continue to wish you happiness.

so, there you have it. take all the time you need, but know that no matter what, you'll always have a special place in my heart.

yours truly,

‘garden’.

y/n finished reading the letters with a painful lump in her throat, overwhelmed with emotion. she looked up at him. "do you mean it?" her voice faltered as she spoke.

he nodded. "everything," he said, looking over her face cautiously, paying attention to every mole and freckle on her face.

she did not know what force in the universe pushed her to follow through with her emotions, but before she could comprehend what she was feeling, she held onto his face softly and kissed him with all the care in the world.

although taken aback, he enjoyed every millisecond of this moment and savored every little detail. her gentle touch, the very faint scent of her perfume, the direction the wind blew towards them...

he had dreamed of this moment an embarrassing number of times, but his imagination didn’t prepare him well enough. they fit perfectly—they were meant to be.

she pushed away, catching his softened gaze over her. she held his hand, speaking, "i'm glad it’s you, jungwon. i don’t think i could’ve asked for a better secret admirer."
