This is actually the first time I read a story and was discussed afterwards, yet I still don't have a vision or an understanding of how and what the story is about. So yeah, we have these two characters, I assumed that they're close friends, 'cause the story said that there are times that the girl would just go inside the guy's room/dorm and do her paper works. I think where the class had a difficult time was identifying their true relationship is, are they boyfriend-girlfriend or a one way relationship etc.
Anton said, we tried to dig deep in this story; he's right, I'll just try to analyze the story as simple as I can. The story said that the girl had been going in and out the guy's dorm to do her articles, and the guy gets to read them whether intentional or unintentional, then the guy read the girl's latest work that talked about a girl having a problem of disappearing etc. What I see here is that the story talks about friendship, how to value one's friendship and one another; the two characters might be really close to one another, and maybe they just haven't spent time with each other or bonded lately, so the girl feels like she's disappearing as his best friend, that's why she wrote that "article/blog/letter" 'cause she knows that her friends reads her work so she wanted to let him know what she feels. Both of them have been too busy with personal stuff 'cause there are times that the girl would eneter his dorm, so their schedules doesn't match.
Basically, what I thought of, is that the girl just wants to open up with her friend, she treasures what they both share, and just spend some time and bond together. What I think is the point of the story, is that it's about valuing friendship... :)
Aww.. friends lang sila :(
