Hi, I’m typing this using one of computers in library. Kyuhyun, my boyfriend, is busy looking for some books here and he will get back to me soon, so I don’t have much time to talk to you.

Oh yes, my name is Minah. It’s a pretty name, isn’t it?

But no, Minah is not my real name. Kyuhyun gave me that name.

I’ll make it real quick. I just want to tell you my biggest secret.

.

Last year, few days before Christmas, Kyuhyun asked me to go with him.

He fetched me right after the school finished.

He led me to his car and gave me a coat. He said he didn’t want me to get cold because the place we’re heading was cold.

I didn’t think and complied his request.

He didn’t tell me where we were going.

All I knew was, we were going away from town because the houses are getting few and soon all I could see was nothing but trees.

I asked him where we’re going but he said nothing.

It’s getting dark and it’s cloudy outside.

The only light was from Kyuhyun’s car.

Five hours passing that dark road, finally we arrived at small house.

It’s dark, I couldn’t see my surroundings but I was pretty sure that it was the only house here.

And yes, Kyuhyun’s right. It’s cold here. 

Kyuhyun ushered me in when he noticed me shivering.

The smell of woods greeted me.

Kyuhyun sat me on a couch in front of fireplace as he walked to the kitchen.

He was so familiar with the house. That’s when I noticed, it’s not the first time he’s here.

Few minutes later he came back and gave me a cup of hot chocolate and a sandwich.

I took a sip of my hot chocolate and bit my sandwich.

Kyuhyun’s sitting on a carpeted floor as he resting his head on my lap.

“Do you love me?” He asked suddenly.

“Yes.” I answered.

“Do you really love me?” He asked, again.

I frowned at his question. What did he mean?

“I love you, Kyuhyun.”

He nodded then he spoke. “Do you want me to be happy?”

I sighed. “Of course.”

He lifted his head from my lap and looked at me in the eye.

“Do you believe me?”

If it was any other day, I would answer him a quick-YES.

But I felt there was something off. This house, the way Kyuhyun looked at me, and everything I was feeling right now.

Something wasn’t right.

“I love you. You are mine. You are my princess.” He said softly.

I was just staring at him.

I couldn’t speak. The way he looked at me making my mouth dry.

“You said you love me. You said you want me to be happy.”

I nodded because I did. 

He smiled. But no, it’s not his usual smile.

His smile was warm but there’s something creepy behind that smile.

“There’s one thing you could do to make me happy.” He paused, gauging my reaction. “Do you believe me?”

He asked that question again.

I tried hard to swallow the lump in my throat.

My mind begged me to say no but deep down I knew that my heart was blinded by my love for him.

I whispered a small yes.

He then handed me a pack of medicine.

I looked at him and frowned.

I wasn’t sick. Why did he give me medicine?

He smiled that smile, again.

“You believe me, right?”

I nodded.

“Drink them, then.”

I swallowed all of them. And soon after, I felt my eyes were hazy and I was so sleepy. Then, everything was dark.

.

.

I woke up one morning, feeling so famished.

The smell of fresh-baked bread made my stomach yelling.

“Merry Christmas!”

I saw Kyuhyun standing by the door with a tray full of food on his hands.

I smiled at him.

I got off the bed and I froze when I saw my reflection in the mirror.

My face, nothing’s wrong with my face.

My clothes, nothing’s wrong, too. I always wore one-piece dress.

My eyes scanned my reflection in the mirror, from my neck down to my feet.

No. No. No. It’s not happening. NO.

I saw two mounds on my chest.

My hands unconsciously ran to my chest. There WERE two mounds.

With shaking hands, I pulled down the collar of my one-piece dress.

My mouth hung open.

I had S.

If I had s… I… I…

I quickly took my dress off my body.

I couldn’t stop my tears as I stared at my bare body.

I no longer had a because there, where my used to be, was .

Kyuhyun stood right behind me.

“This is the best gift I have ever had.” He said as he s his arms around me.

“You really make me the happiest person in the whole world.” He whispered in my ear.

Everything was so blurry. My mind and my eyes.

I couldn’t stop my tears and my mind couldn’t even work.

I didn’t know what to do.

“You are so pretty, my princess Minah.”

Minah?

As if reading my mind, he answered. “Yes, Minah. That’s your new name because you are a girl now. I really did a great job, didn’t I?”

There’s one thing I forgot to tell you.

Cho Kyuhyun, my boyfriend, was a surgeon.

.

.

.

I know you wouldn’t believe me but that’s my secret.

Kyuhyun had a dream to marry a princess.

He said he planned that surgery because he wanted me to be his princess.

You ask me why I write all this now?

Because on the way here; I saw missing posters. My missing posters.

I saw my face on milk cartons, too.

The words are :

MISSING : LEE SUNGMIN

With a photo of a handsome boy. My photo.

It’s the head of the orphanage where I used to live who have done this, I believe.

Kyuhyun never allowed me to go out from the house.

So if you happen to read this message, can you please tell her to stop looking for me?

Because Lee Sungmin will never be found.

I was Lee Sungmin.

But now I’m Cho Minah.

I know she’s sad but I have no choice.

No one would believe me if I say this, though I hope you would.

I have no one to talk about this but you.

So please… believe me…

Oh no, Kyuhyun is walking toward me.

I have to stop talking to you.

Lastly, please believe me…

-Minah-
