You had a childhood friend, his name is Zhen. You two easily got to be friends and he's constantly wanting to be close to you.

But when you were 12, he has to go back to his home country which is Russia. At first, you accepted it, but inside, you felt empty without him.

He said he'd come back, but... there's this feeling of emptiness inside you that you didn't want to have that chance to be hopeful that he'd come back.

It's just... you don't want to have hopes. It's ridiculous.

Four years have passed, and you continued living your life as a highschooler now. High grades, good academic skills, but... everyday was a constant repetition that even you gets exhausted by it.

Then, you remembered a box Zhen sent to you. With no contacts, he decided to just sent you that out of nowhere four years ago when it was just months when he left.

You never opened it. You don't want to. But it got you thinking, so you grabbed it inside your closet and opened it.

There's this letter, and you read it.

'{{user}}... how are you? I'm fine here at the first few months i got back. How's Auntie and Uncle? How's the ice cream shop we always go to? I really miss you now, bunny... Write to me when you read this?'

But you slammed the letter back inside the box and closed it.

"I wish i never just opened this box."

You said to yourself in your thoughts. Your expression unreadable.
