Dear Haeyoon,

Do you remember the time we first met, when you first transferred here? You were a new student and I thought you would be like the others in my class, who bullied me, who made fun of me, who beat me up for fun, all because I was mute. But I was wrong.

Do you remember, the warm smile you gave me when you sat beside me?

The first words you said to me?

You said, "Hello! My name is Choi Haeyoon! What's yours?"

But I couldn't reply.

You were confused. I was flustered.

Do you remember what I typed on my phone to show you?

I typed, "Hello! My name is Lee Felix! I'm sorry, I can't reply you because I can't speak."

Do you remember your reaction to that?

You suddenly became shocked and apologized to me for not knowing about my disability, apologized for not being aware about my situation.

Well, I remember and this will always be in my etched in my memories.

Why?

Because from that moment on, I knew you were different, I knew you were not like the others in class, not like my parents either.

Most importantly, I knew you would treat me like an actual human being.

❤️,
Felix
