Dear Kibum,

Taemin came to my home again today. I honestly had never expected to see him again after our last encounter. Usually, people like him just have one night stands that never go any further, but I guess he must have fallen under the impression that our 'relationship', if you could even call it that, is more long term than just a drunken blackout. I told him that I won't be intimate with him like that again, because my heart is forever bethrothed to yours. He laughed a little, and told me that you were dating Minho. Minho seemed to have finally announced that you two are dating after that little dinner date that we had. I guess he was really jealous you were finally starting to catch on that I'm clearly the better man for you.

Can't you just break it off with him already? Tell him the truth. He never shows much interest in your mind, only your body, and he is no where near as romantic as you deserve. What keeps you bound to him? Pity for him is fine, but do not let it keep you from true happiness, the happiness that only I can give you. Please come to your senses soon. It is becoming increasingly difficult to keep Taemin away.

He's quite a persistent one, and I have no clue as to why. Perhaps he's become obsessed with me? I hope not, because that would be rather unsettling. To think that someone lays awake at night thinking of you always, dreaming up elaborate fantasies of just the two of you, when you honestly want nothing to do with such a person. I don't know what I can do if he keeps coming around. Should I contact the police and tell them I have a stalker? He is harmless enough at the moment though, so I won't be too quick to send him off to jail. Young ones shouldn't spend their glory years incarcerated.

I've been talking to Jinki more lately too. He's become the second closest friend I have, the first being you of course. Well, even though that doesn't seem like much given you two are my only friends, I like to believe we're close. We get along pretty well. He is quite the gossip though, so I would watch what you tell him if I were you. He tells me some things about what he hears going on from your house sometimes. I thanked the stars when I heard that all he did was yell a little at you after he saw us come home together that night. I'm so grateful that you weren't hurt. I would die before I let you be hurt. He also told me that you're letting Minho move in now that your relationship is official. Did he even have a house before? He may be just using you for free rent in a nice house. Keep that in mind.

I would advise that you keep a better eye on your dog as well. He keeps coming over to dig in my backyard. I'll probably get a fence soon to keep him out, but in the mean time please stop him from digging up my backyard. I went out there one day to mow the grass and found clumps of dirt and grass everywhere. I want to plant a garden back there one day, so I would appreciate it if I didn't have so much extra work to do it.

Anyways, I have exciting news! I believe I may be close to that formula for bringing life back to flowers! Today I administered more tests and one of the dead flowers changed color briefly. I'm not quite sure how that happened, but it's progress! For a couple seconds I really believed I had done it, but then they changed back to the same lifeless shrivelled things they've been for a while. Maybe it was just a small chemical reaction due to the various chemicals I've been using on them lately.... I'll be checking out the library later to further my research. Let's stay hopeful though!

Love,

Jonghyun
