Dear Kibum,

It's been quite some time since my last letter. As you already  know, I was admitted to the hospital for quite a while. It was a silly mistake really. I mixed the wrong amount of certain chemicals I am not allowed to disclose, and the reaction paralyzed me for a bit. Luckily, Taemin was snooping around my house, and saw me laying down on my living room floor in need of assistance. He saved me, but I still won't let that persuade me. Taemin will never have my heart, nor will he have my body again. If anything, I suppose we're friends now. I owe him at least that.

It was agony being paralyzed. At first, I was very panicky, because I could be stuck this way for life. That was no life that I ever wanted to live. It would be eternal torture to see your beautiful face, and always long it caress one of those rose red cheeks, but never be able to. Although, my torture now is much similar to that. When I saw you enter with a card and some flowers all my pain eased away with ultimate medicine, love. As you kissed my forehead and uttered softly some sympathy I felt my heart light up with glee. Using all the strength I could muster, I twitched my mostly numb lips into a smile for you. Your visit brought me speedy recovery, because all I longed for so desperately was to hold you. Every day I would try so hard to move I strained myself some. Even after your brief visit that one day, your inspiration still lingered within me. I became so determined to get better soon and speak to you again that I still have my hospital bracelet on as I write this letter now. I rushed to my desk to start writing to you the very moment I walked through the door. That's just another demonstration of how powerfully you impact my life, and everything I do.

Even though I nearly perished in the attempt, I believe I am another step closer to the formula for reanimation! It's got me almost as excited as I am to see you again. Just think, if flowers could be revived then wouldn't the next step be animals? Maybe even human reanimation could be possible one day! Ah, but I must not get too ahead of myself. The first step has not yet been taken. I must first conquer the challenge of breathing life back into my precious roses before I can move on to anything else. Hopefully, I can do so without further injury. I do not wish to die  with unfinished work. That's be the most frustrating thing I could imagine. Well, besides dying before tasting your lips. 

We should celebrate my recovery together. I plan to ask you out again after sending this letter anyways, just because I can hardly wait a week for you to receive it. I am happiest I've ever been, and I want to share it with you today before misfortune eventually causes it to fade. I also promise you that I will be more careful with my research from now on. My number one priority is to stay alive and live such a long happy life with you. I hope everything goes well on our next date, and that we have many more. I'll try to keep this a secret from Minho for now to keep you safe from his wrath. We'll be the modern day forbidden love that many tales have told of long ago. 

Love,

Jonghyun
