    Your heart always jumped a little when you saw that familiar handwriting on the envelope. There was always something charming hidden inside, whether it was deep reflections on the beauty of the world around them, elegant poems written in complex language, or just warm, gentle words and always Jun Li's signature at the end.

    Today's letter was particularly intriguing. In it, Jun Lee described admiring the sunset he watched from a high point in the city, mentioning that its colors reminded him of the colors you wore last week. At the bottom, he added “ " I hope you can feel the warmth of my gaze without even seeing it."

    You smiled at the thought of this mysterious man. Who is he? A rich collector of antiques, a professor of philosophy, or just a connoisseur of beauty, able to see beauty in small things? You didn't know, and that was part of the charm.

    Suddenly, a tall man in an immaculately tailored suit walked into the coffee shop you'd decided to stop by before going home. His eyes, the color of frozen amber, scanned the room intently. He had a thin walking stick in his hand and a faint smile on his face. He walked over to the table where you were sitting and bowed politely.

    – Good afternoon." May I sit down?" his voice was deep and melodious, with a slight hint of nobility.

    You looked at him in surprise. This stranger looked incredibly familiar, even though you'd never seen him before. He gave off a strange feeling of confidence and calmness, as if he knew all the secrets of the world.

    "Sure, have a seat," you said, feeling your heart race with excitement.

    The man sat down across from her, his eyes flicking to the letter on the table. A small smile touched his lips.

    "Nice drink," he said, pointing to your coffee. "So are your letters.

    You froze. It was... impossible. But in his clear, ancient eyes I saw a reflection of the words he wrote to you every Thursday. You understand.

    "Jun Lee?" You asked softly.

    He nodded, his smile widening.

    "Allow me to introduce myself," he said, bowing slightly. - Jun Lee. And from now on, I intend to stop being just your mysterious admirer.

    You were so surprised by what was happening that you didn't know what to say. You've been texting for so long, telling him your innermost secrets, sharing your experiences and feelings, and now Jun Li is sitting in front of you, waiting for your answer.
