To my dearest hyung,

                

                    

          Minnie hyung! Do you remember me? It’s been a while since we last saw each other… How have you been? I hope you’re doing great in college! I went to our hometown last weekend and I asked your mother about your phone but she said it wasn’t working and she didn’t know anything about email and such so instead she gave me your address. Hyung, I’m not a stalker, but it’s been what? Five years? I think they’re five years since we don’t see each other…, how was your last year of high school? Did you have full score once again? Woah! I was always really jealous because you always got the best grades! Keep it up hyung!

          I wanted to go and pay a visit but I thought it was going to be rude so I better wrote a letter, I know it’s a little antique this way of communication but isn’t this exciting? You know I always liked this kind of stuff.

         Auntie told me that you enrolled to college two years ago. Global business right? Hyung! I’m really proud of you! (: I entered college as well, but I’m studying arts, I want to be a professional dancer as you always told me to be! Sometimes I still dream about you scolding me for being lazy and skipping dance lessons in middle school. Should I tell you a secret hyung? Those are the best dreams I ever have! ^^

         Yesterday while I was cleaning some of my old stuff I found this little stuffed animal and I remember it was yours! I took it from you because you were always playing with it and never paid attention to me, remember? I was really jealous at that time! But it’s because you were my best friend and I really loved you! No hyung, scratch that, I still love you! :D

          I will keep that stuffed animal because I want to have something from you close to me, I hung it to my school bag and I hope some of my classmates won’t make fun of me, seriously hyung, why did you have to get a pink bunny instead of something else… do you still like pink hyung? I wanted to write this in a pink sheet but I couldn’t get one because everything was closed and it’s already late… ):

            Ever since you moved out from our hometown there have been a lot of happenings… do you remember Donghae? The fish boy? He’s attending college with me and he lives in the same building as well, I guess he really misses his family because he spends most of his time in my apartment! Ah! Did you know he really liked you back then? We cried together for almost three weeks when you left! He’s a good friend. (: But it’s difficult to control him, seriously hyung, how did you get him to obey you? I’ve been trying to calm him down when he gets these hyper attacks and goes around jumping around my apartment, but everything up until now have been mere failures… Why did you leave without telling me the secret hyung? TT_TT

         Sigh… I guess I have to figure it out all by myself… u.u         

         …

          Hyung, do you remember that promise we made when we were in middle school? I told you that if I ever fell in love, you would be the first one to know about it.

                 

         Minnie hyung… I think I fell in love.

                      

                            

Love,

Hyukjae.

                      

PS: Hyung, did you know? The oldest known love song was written 4,000 years ago and comes from an area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers… I wish I could hear it sometime… ^^
