Origami Secrets

from: Portrait Image of Person The Crane GirlThe Crane Girl (15)    to: Portrait Image of Person Nam-junNam-jun (16)
A softly lit image shows an orange origami crane placed on a white piece of paper. The paper rests on a wooden windowsill that has a weathered blue window frame. The window suggests an overcast sky or a gently blurred outdoor view, creating a serene and slightly nostalgic atmosphere. On the left side of the frame, a plant with several yellow leaves is visible, enhancing the warm, autumnal feeling of the scene. The overall tone of the image is warm and calming, with muted colors and soft light.




Dear Nam-jun,

I hope you found my latest crane—it was orange this time, folded carefully under the old cherry tree near the school gate. Did you know that each fold holds a tiny secret? Today’s was hope. Maybe tomorrow’s will hold courage.

Sometimes I wonder if you know it's me, but part of me hopes you don’t. There's magic in being invisible, whispering words I could never say out loud. Every crane is a story I'm too shy to speak, a little bird that flies when I can't. Yesterday, I saw you helping that kitten again—you're gentle, even when no one's watching. That's why my cranes always find their way to you.

Maybe someday, you'll guess who I am, but for now, my cranes will keep my secret safe. Until then, watch for paper wings beneath the cherry blossoms.

Yours...
