a love letter to the cute goddess of codoon

Yesterday, Codoon editor received a private message from a shy boy. In the message, he described a versatile, sporty, and artistic girl. The editor, being a helpful person, is spreading the word for you (Codoon nickname of the girl: Xiaoyu's Socks). No need to thank me.

The first time I saw you was in the popular gallery. The spring sunlight in April was just right, and your bright smile instantly captured my fluttering heart—I guess you must be a lively and lovely girl. Today marks your 150th day on Codoon. I've seen every post you made in the sports circle: the way you sweat profusely during workouts, the innocent smile when you go out to play, and your cute and quirky expressions... Seeing these, I feel like I've accompanied you from winter to summer.

I guess you might be an illustrator. You posted a few childlike illustrations in the sports circle and left your wish: May everyone always keep a childlike heart, enjoy work, enjoy life, and enjoy sports. I'm not such an outgoing person, but seeing your optimistic nature truly makes me happy from the bottom of my heart.

I might not be able to understand your feelings written in 'Marathon First Experience' yet, because today is only my 21st day of running, inspired by you. You said, 'Reaching the finish line was the most peaceful moment of my entire run—no tears, no smiles, no expressions. I just knew I finally fulfilled my promise to myself. I didn't let myself down. I didn't let down the promise I once made.' I silently pray in my heart, sincerely hoping that one day, we can run to the finish line together.

You said you used to be a fragile literary girl, which made me want to protect you. Now your nickname has become 'female tough guy.' Well, I want to say that if all female tough guys are like you, then I'm willing to be an old man~~

Actually, I'm not saying all this to achieve anything or gain something. I'm just very grateful that you can hear my voice. Your smile has touched me. I hope you can continue to be simply happy and joyful, always running healthily, and let your smile touch more people~~
