Strong Heart Chapter 21
Strong Heart~Love Letter~

Dear Minnie,
Who better to write a letter to than my best friend and boyfriend? I wasn’t really sure what to tell you so I’m just writing as I go. I’ve really been thinking about Joon-hyung’s quiz…I think all of us have actually. But I know that love and logic don’t mix.
A quiz like that can’t determine something like my feelings or my soul. I should know my soul the best don’t you agree, Sungmin? After all, my soul and I are inseparable! (Small joke, sorry…) Anyway, I hope you don’t think too much about it either. I didn’t see your score but from what I saw on our compatibility chart…I’m not your top match am I?
You can probably guess who managed to be my best match, hmm?
But really!! Don’t worry at all! We’re together and I don’t think I’ve ever been happier. I’m not just saying that because I want to make you feel better (if you’re feeling down I mean). Well, of course I always want you to feel good and happy…ah, I’m not sure what I’m saying anymore.
Just know that you’re the one that makes my heart beat faster. You’re the one who makes me smile. You’re the one who helped me when everyone else left.
If someday we’re not together though…if someday something happens, you should know that you’ll always be my First Love; the kind of love that Joon-hyung was talking about.
We fell together and I would never fall with anyone but you.
You’re my love, Sungmin.
Yours Truly,
Ryeowook

Dear Ryeowook,
Hmm…I wish I would send this after reading yours so I could have a better letter but I guess it doesn’t work that way. Why did we decide to mail them all out at once? Oh well, we can’t do anything about that now.
So what should I say to you? Wait, I know! I’ll talk about the time I realized I love you. I’ve never told you the story have I? Actually, no one knows because it’s sort of embarrassing…
It was after our orientation night when Kyuhyun, you and I got into that whole fight thing. It was also our first meeting. I knew right away that I was attracted to you. Really strange, to be honest because I’ve always liked really manly and handsome people…not to say you aren’t those things, Wookie! It’s just…you’re too cute to be “tall, dark and handsome”. See? Our love has to be true considering I broke all the rules when I became attracted to you.
Ah right, so the first time I felt my face grow red and my heart beat faster for you was two months into our friendship and fan service – which thank goodness is done. That was horrible, being used like that I mean.
Well, I was walking along and saw Kyuhyun. I wanted to go over there and because he’s just such a jerk and I’ve always wanted to see him flustered. When I was sneaking up behind him though, I saw you appear from somewhere. You took his arm, all smiles and sparkling eyes. It felt like the world slowed down. Maybe I should’ve been upset but I wasn’t.
I fell right then and there.
I fell for your obvious adoration of him.
Strangely it wasn’t jealousy. What I wanted was to be looked at like that. I wanted your smile for myself. I wanted to be Kyuhyun so you would look up with happiness, only at me. It took so many years…but I guess you’re finally looking at me like that, huh? I hope so at least.
Let’s make a lot of memories together. I want to remember what being in love is like. I just…I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if I ever lost the feeling I have right now. You’re my favorite person in the world Ryeowook, lover or not. You’ll always be my favorite.
Love,
Sungmin

Dear Taemin,
Happy almost Valentine’s Day! I’ve never been good at talking and it has always been easier to write. So this way, maybe it will be easier for my thoughts to come across.
First, I’m happy that we’re lovers. I’m really happy, actually. I’m still new at all of this, relationships and friendships, alike. Sometimes I don’t know what to say to you that’s why I hope you know it’s not because I don’t care about you. I just can’t talk.
Second, don’t listen to Joon-hyung’s quiz. It’s not true. And if it is...I have a choice. I don’t want to be with my soulmate if that person isn’t you. My whole life has been told back to me like a story and I don’t want to keep living in the dark. I just can’t be told again that another decision has been made for me. You’re the one that made me fall so hard and that’s not going to change because a quiz tells me we aren’t compatible.
You stuck with me through the descent. No one else did.
That means you’re irreplaceable.
My heart calls out to you.
My soul may not but I trust my heart a lot more than I do my soul.
We have our ups and downs but I want to get through it all. I want to see where we can get together. There are so many things I want to know about you and hopefully you’ll tell me.
If it isn’t clear yet, my answer to Joon-hyung’s question is easy: Love
Mir

Dear Mir,
I’m really not good with words. I know it sounds like I’m good at talking sometimes but I just don’t know how to act around you anymore. You make me feel all weird inside. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
When I see you my heart gets funny and my face feels warm. When I see you and Dongwoon together I feel all of this anger and frustration. When the two of us are together I don’t want to let you go. I just want you to stay all the time.
At first, all of this pissed me off. But then Minho explained it to me. Maybe it’s because I really like you. I think that’s the reason. I’ve never liked anyone…I’ve never tried being someone’s lover either. You’re the first ever, Mir.
I’ll admit it. The quiz results scare me. I don’t want you to leave me because of it. I know that you’re close to Joon-hyung and that you trust him a lot but I don’t think he’s right this time. We’re better than you and Dongwoon. I know we can be better if we spend more time together. I just know it.
So don’t listen to him, okay? I feel pathetic begging but please, just don’t go away. I’ve never felt this way. I’ve never had this kind of warm and fuzzy feeling around someone, not even Minho. I don’t want to lose it, not this fast.
I really wish I could’ve read your letter first but they’re sending them out in a few minutes.
Sincerely,
Taemin
