“Hyung, I love you!”

****

Minho hyung! Wow, this is my first time writing a letter to you. I could just go next door, and I’d see you, but Yoona noona said to write it with the other SHINee members in private. (She’s really nice to do this, by the way, but you should know that already). In actual fact, I told the other members to leave me alone. This letter’s going to get pretty personal… maybe even mushy.

Anyway, to start off… On behalf of SHINee minus you, we wish Choi Minho (aka YOU) a big fat happy birthday! Hehe. Actually Onew hyung told me to write something extra, but I’m not writing it. He can say it in person. It’s so mushy, it’s gross even thinking about it. (Insert a Taemin shudder) You know what I mean. It’s like stuff Jonghyun hyung says to Key umma (except a million times worse). Ugh. Onew hyung gets too sentimental sometimes. Oh well! I might get sentimental in this letter too, for all you know.

Sigh. Hyung’s growing older again… It’s funny though, I feel like the older one now. Am I supposed to feel that way? Let me really get started now. Hyung, I love you! I really do. Thanks for the support you’ve given me when I’m tired, thanks for the advice you’ve given me when I’m down, and thanks for just… sticking around for me when the other members are too busy at schedules or doing other stuff. Thanks for allowing me to be your best friend. Friends do things for each other, right? So for your birthday, I made the other hyungs back cupcakes with me for you. You’ll find them when you come back to the dorm later after you read this. They’re really nice. I’ve tasted a bit of the batter before it went in the oven. Yeah… I know I’m awesome. Hehe. But I’m getting off-topic! This letter’s supposed to be about you. Oh no. I’d better get on with it then.

Hyung, I look up to you and admire you. You are my role model. Especially when I watch you during practices, your never-ending repeats of your solo lines and rap parts, and never-ending repeats of the dances… And when I watch you during Dream Team too! I’m really inspired by you, hyung, because of your fighting and competitive spirit. I want to be as strong as you too. If I ever get there, that is. Funny though… I talk as if I’m some kind of crazy obsessed fan of yours. Hey, perhaps I am. Maybe I have an inner fanboy for you, hyung. Does that sound creepy? Oh my God I hope it doesn’t! Aish, I promised Key umma that I wouldn’t sound creepy on your birthday…

Argh! I keep going off-topic! Sigh. I think I should just give up on the letter already, and give you a huge kiss on the cheek later. Hehe. That would be nice. Wouldn’t it?

All right now, the hyungs say it’s time to stop writing so we can practice. I’ll say this one more time. Hyung, I love you! And happy birthday! Hope you have a great one!

Love,
The FIRST min to the 2min,
Lee Taemin.

PS: That’s our couple name by the way. Key umma told me about it. Isn’t it cool? 2min! Haha!
