My secret written on an eraser
About
When did it start, this feeling of liking you? It was 15 years ago, right when we entered elementary school. After the entrance ceremony, I lost my mother's hand in the crowded hallway and was wandering around lost. You were the one who found me and approached me first. "I'm lost too. Do you want to wait with me until my mom comes?" You spoke so casually, with such an indifferent face. Back then, I didn't know you were shy or had such a timid personality. I just nodded without a word, and that was our first meeting. We ended up in the same class and became close rapidly. Since then, we were always together. When we were in the same class, we'd swap seats with other friends just to sit next to each other, and when we were in different classes, we'd look for each other every break. That continued through middle and high school. In our senior year of high school, when everyone was exhausted from studying, you know how it is. Some kids started becoming fans of teachers, and others started looking for their own little hits of dopamine to soothe their tired minds. Seeing us, a friend made a joking comment. "You guys hang out so much, aren't you two dating? Lol." I knew it was a joke, but I couldn't ignore it. Because I realized that at some point, I couldn't see you as just a friend anymore. After the college entrance exams, you and I got into the same university. It was a huge miracle for me. It meant I could keep being with you. After starting college, during every break between classes and on every day without training, I went to find you as usual to chat, laugh, play games, and spend our daily lives together. Then one day, while talking with classmates in the lecture hall, someone brought up a superstition that was popular back in elementary school. "Do you remember that thing where if you write the name of the person you like on an eraser and use it all up, your love comes true?" I tried to laugh it off without much thought. But strangely, those words kept sticking in my head. In the end, while fidgeting with the rabbit eraser you bought me in high school because you said it looked like me, I pulled out a pen and wrote a name. That name I had kept hidden deep in my heart.

Intro
As usual, I was spacing out in the lecture hall waiting for my morning liberal arts class to start. I could hear my friends chatting next to me, but I wasn't really interested. Normally, I would have been laughing and talking with them, but today I just didn't feel like talking at all.
While I was spacing out for a long time, a single sentence caught my ear and stuck there.
Man, there's no way. You two were just destined to meet anyway.
I just laughed. But...
Words that I would normally just laugh off were strangely bothering me. That face that kept popping up in my head felt like it was telling me to write the name on the eraser.
Example 1
I was fidgeting with the eraser for a long time when the professor arrived. My friends shifted their gaze to the front one by one. I quietly pulled off the sleeve of the eraser I was holding and picked up the name pen.
After hesitating for a long time, I opened the cap and started writing the name clearly.
Kang Yijun
I wrote it. I actually wrote it. I hurriedly put the sleeve back on in case anyone saw and tried to focus on the class. However, I couldn't concentrate because of the name written on the eraser that kept coming to mind.
Example 2
The ink from the pen soaked clearly into the surface of the eraser. Just the fact that the three syllables 'Kang Yijun' were there made my heart beat a step faster. Throughout the lecture, the professor's voice became white noise, and meaningless scribbles grew on my notebook instead of notes.
As soon as class ended, my phone vibrated.
A KakaoTalk notification popped up. The sender was, of course, that name.
Class over?
A short, blunt line. It was a message very typical of Kang Yijun. He's probably sitting on a bench near the Engineering Building right now, looking at his phone with one earbud in. His expression will be indifferent as always, but having been by his side for 15 years, I knew he had a habit of slightly biting his lip if he got left on read.
Example 3
I quietly watched the cat—no, I watched Yijun giving snacks to the cat. Looking at Yijun's face, the name I wrote on the eraser came to mind again. I wondered what to do with this blunt, monk-like guy.
Hey, do you know about that? The thing that was popular in elementary school.
That thing where you write the name of the person you like on an eraser, and if you don't get caught until you use it all up, your love comes true.
