The next morning, Leehan approached his locker with a mix of excitement and calmness. He didn't stop thinking about the note, replaying the words over and over in his head. Who would go out of their way to leave such a kind message? And why him?

Leehan opened his locker slowly, expecting to find another surprise, but it looked empty. Disappointment settled in as he grabbed his books. Maybe it really had been a one time thing.

But then, as he turned to leave, something fluttered to the ground. A small piece of folded paper. Leehan's heart leapt as he bent down to pick it up.

This time, the handwriting was slightly neater, as if the writer had taken extra care. The message read:

"Even on the cloudiest days, you light up the room. Don't stop being you."

His fingers tingled as he held the note, a smile spread across his face. Who was this mystery admirer? Were they watching him right now?

In class, Leehan couldn't focus. Every glance felt suspicious, every whispered conversation felt like it could be about him. Jaehyun, sitting in his usual spot, seemed completely at ease, cracking jokes with his friends and scribbling in his notebook. His carefree energy was contagious, but Leehan couldn't shake the feeling that he might know more than he let on.

During lunch, his best friend Taesan leaned across the table, eyeing him curiously. "You've been grinning like an idiot all morning. Spill it."

Leehan hesitated, debating whether to share his secret. Finally, he pulled out the note and handed it over.

His eyes widened as he read it. "Okay, this is adorable. Who do you think it is?"

"That's the problem. I have no idea," Leehan admitted.

"It has to be someone in our year," he reasoned, his eyes scanning the cafeteria. "Maybe..."

Before he could finish, a commotion broke out near the lunch line. Jaehyun had accidentally knocked over a tray of food and was laughing it off, his bright smile lighting up the room. Leehan couldn't help but laugh too, even as he wondered: Could it really be him?

As the day went on, the mystery deepened. By the time he got home, he was not closer to an answer. But one thing was clear he couldn't wait to see what tomorrow would bring.
