To my dearest (and most undeserving of such neglectful treatment) Minho-hyung,

First off, I owe you an enormous apology.  And a bit of an explanation, as well.  I'm not sure where to begin.

Well, you know how I love to dance, right?  I was trying to learn a new move, and...I sort of fell, and tried to catch myself but just ended up hurting my wrist.  I thought it was just a sprain at first, so I kept it in a brace for a few days, but it wasn't getting any better so I saw a doctor.  Turns out it was fractured.  I had to have a cast for a while, and as such, I was physically unable to reply to your letter.  I thought of dictating, but nobody wanted to help me, so that was out of the question.  I couldn't even send a note that I'd messed up my wrist.  I'm sorry. ;~;  I don't know if you were worried...probably not.  But I want to apologize anyway.  I hope you'll forgive me.

I want to tell you though, and this is a little embarrassing... >///<  I missed your letters the whole time, so I reread them when I was lonely.  And I kept your picture in my pocket, hyung.  I looked at it whenever I was sad or lonely or when my wrist was hurting, and I think that's the only thing that got me through this without having a breakdown.  You kept me sane, hyung, and I want to thank you for that. ♥

>.< (was the heart too much?)

I suppose it's a little late to answer your questions about Christmas.  I hope you had a good one, although there weren't any letters.

I'm not really comfortable talking about my home life.  It's not very interesting anyway, hyung, I wouldn't bother asking about it. ^^;

I have so much I want to say, but...I don't want to bore you with the tiring details of my life, so I'm just going to stop here.  I'm enclosing another picture of me, like you asked.  I took this one back when I was playing around with some colored contacts, so ignore the blue eyes.  They're obviously not natural.  I hope you like my silly smile. >//<

Gomawo for being here, hyung.

Your wow, ;)

Taemin

P.S. If my coins are causing that much trouble, then I'll just stop sending them~ ^^v
