[Nichkhun’s P.O.V.]

"Cry as I may these tears won’t wash you away." 

It was the note that was left in my locker by one of the gullible girls who thought they could manage to make me fall in love with them. The letter itself was very congruous to the ones that the other girls that I have once dated left and maybe if they didn't have a lack of skepticism they would not have taken to rumors about me for granted. 

"It's amazing how someone can break your heart and you can still love them with all the little pieces." 

Why is she trying to make me feel bad? Seriously! They were the ones who asked me out! I never once promised them anything in return and yet they all demanded more from me?!?

"What happens when he's your prince charming, but you're not his Cinderella?"

This note was really getting on my last nerves. What was with this girl, and all her depressing love quotes? I know she can find someone way better!

“When you're in love and you get hurt, it's like a cut, it will heal with time but the scars will never fade, you will always have a piece of my heart... I miss you more than you'll ever know, Nikky" 

Finally the note was over, so I crumpled it up and threw it away.

I hope Nikky finds happiness, even if I'm not the one to provide it to her. Knowing that I hurt someone else made me feel grim, when will I ever be able to return the love that was bestowed upon me? Was I cursed to hurt people who honestly cared about me in Seoul High School? 
 

[Min Ji’s P.O.V.]

I witnessed the whole scene play out in front of me. Nichkhun Norvejkul. He was the rumored heart breaker, whom girls couldn't help but fall in love with. A typical rebel, but one who was secretly smart, (he was the second of our class, because no one could beat Taec oppa) girls always flocked around him, begging him to date them, and he never turned anyone down. However, it only lasted for a week. On the seventh day he always broke up with them, not showing the slightest amount of remorse. 

Then why were his hazel eyes filled with such furtive pain? Was he really the person I thought he was? Does that mean the rumors weren't true? There was only one way to find out what kind of person he was... and that was to date him and find out for myself.

I, Kim Min Ji, will find out if Nichkhun-shi is truly a bad person, because I cannot stand to see such beautiful eyes in such pain.
 

[Nichkhun’s P.O.V.]

“Dear Nichkhun sunbae, please go out with me, 

Sarangheayo, Kim Min Ji <3” 

I burst out with frivolous laughter. Kim Min Ji? Have I seen her around school before? What kind of person was she? Shouldn't she know better than to go out with me! Girls are gullible, always falling for looks. However, I can't say no, it's against my policy to never turn anyone down unless I had a girlfriend. 

“Okay,” I left my one word response in her locker.
 

[Min Ji’s P.O.V.]

“Yes!”

“What is it Min Ji,” asked my best friend Taecyeon.

“I'm dating Nichkhun!” I replied. 

“What!? Is that really a good thing? He is a womanizer after all!”

“But I think he’s much deeper than that,” I muttered. There’s got to be more to him then what people see on the surface.

“Well he is stunning, if you’re into that whole bad boy thing,” Taec pondered. “Plus he’s only going to break up with you, so why chase?”

“I'm not going to speak to him for seven days,” I said.

“What? But after seven days he always breaks up with his girlfriend!”

“I know, but I'm afraid if I talk to him face to face I'll fall for him.”

“Hellooo... I thought you already liked him!”

“I do, but I don't want him to know that I love him… yet,” I muttered.

“So how will you talk to him,” Taec asked.

Hmmm… how will I talk to him… ah ha! “Love Letters.” I replied.
 

[Nichkhun’s P.O.V.]

The first letter from Min Ji showed up the second day we started dating. It read:

Dear Nichkhun,

I know I'm far too much of a coward to look you in the eyes and tell you how I feel about you. After all I know that after seven days you will probably forget all about me, and looking into your eyes will only make that day hurt more. I used to think you were a heartless player, but then I learned that you and I are much the same... We are both looking for love but unable to find it, well I guess now I'm different from you because I fell for you. I know deep down you are kind and caring person so I hope one day you’ll care for someone as much as I care for you, even if I’m not that person. I want you to know how I feel about you, and I will constantly remind you of these feelings for the week we date. So please reply to this letter.


Kim Min Ji 


I never encountered this before. Kind person, me? She must be thinking of someone else. This girl must be really willful. However, I decided to humor her and picked up a pen...

[Min Ji’s P.O.V.]

Nichkhun left a note in my locker the next day, it read as follows:


Min Ji,

I appreciate your honesty, but if by the end of this week I cannot return your feelings I will move on. You may think I'm a kind person but I must contradict you, I, after all, am quite the opposite of that. I do however, want to meet you face to face before the seven days come to an end. Please tell me what kind of person you are.

Nichkhun Norvejkul

I replied.

[Nichkhun’s P.O.V]

Her second letter came on the third day, soon after my letter, it read:


Nichkhun,

Your curiosity makes me so happy! When I read your letter my heart skipped a beat. See you are a caring person! You didn't have to write back but you did! Well I guess I can be describes as a stubborn person, well that’s what Taecyeon oppa says, he’s my best friend. I’m the kind of person who finds it easier to convey my feelings when people are not around to see them, but I really want to know about you too! Why do you only date girls for seven days? 

Kim Min Ji


No one has ever asked me that question. Until now. 

[Min Ji’s P.O.V.]

His letter arrived on the fourth day.


Min Ji,

You are actually the first person who ever asked me that, and the answer is because of my big sister, Ji Hyun. She passed away five years ago when I was eleven. She wanted me to fall in love and be happy and she told me, “You know it's love, if you can fall in love in seven days” because she fell in love with her true love in seven days. He died, and she committed suicide. I never told anyone this before. I feel safe telling you personal things. You remind me of Ji Hyun noona, she was really stubborn too. Although, she was sort of a bully, but I don't think you’re like that. In fact I think you're a good person, and I think I may actually end up falling for you.

Nichkhun

P.S.: call me oppa from now on, araso?


Does that mean he likes me? That was the last letter I got until the seventh day.

[Nichkhun’s P.O.V.]

I’ve never had this feeling for anyone, except my family of course. Was it love? Did I love Min Ji? I felt such a strong connection to her. It was day seven, but I was doubtful if I wanted to break up with her or not. Did I love her? How was this possible I never even met her face to face. I decided to send her one more letter. It was short and to the point.

Min Ji,

I need to meet you face to face. Meet me at the Café, it’s in front of Seoul University. Don't worry I don't want to see you so we can break up. I want to meet you and continue to date. Write back.

Nichkhun

[Min Ji’s P.O.V.]

I was ecstatic! I was going to date him! Was this possible? What should I wear? How should I do my make up? I was so happy I almost forgot to write back.

“Taec oppa! I'm dating Nichkhun! He told me he's not going to break up with me!”

“That’s great Min Ji, but don't talk so loud, you don't know who can be eavesdropping,” Taec whispered. “You’re the first girl he actually wants to keep, girls might get jealous if they found out”.

“We have a date at the Café in front of the University today,” I was so happy I couldn't even control the rigor of my voice! Later I wish I had. 

“Well, be sure to tell him you’re coming,” Taec muttered. 

Dear Nichkhun oppa,

I am overjoyed! My heart won't stop racing! I can finally say I love you! I have loved you since the first time I saw you. I will defiantly come and see you.

Kim Min Ji

[Nichkhun’s P.O.V.]

I saw her cross the street. The way she looked at me confirmed it was her. She had really long and pretty, curly, black hair that went down to the small of her back, and elegant features that made her look like royalty. So this is Kim Min Ji. She really was pretty.

She made it across the street and walked up to my table, with a slight blush on her pale cheeks, and when she stood directly in front of me she stammered in such an adorable way I really wanted to hug her.

“Annyeonghasayo... I'm Kim Min Ji... We wrote letters together....”

“Yes, I know who you are, you’re the girl who made me fall for her.”

She blushed a deep crimson color. 

“NICHKHUN HOW COULD YOU,” a shrill shriek made my head pivot around. It was Nikky. Whose heart I broke. She was making her way towards us. 

“Nikky, mianhae. I wasn't able to love you, but I met someone I could love.” I said, looking at Min Ji. 

“SO YOU FIND IT FUNNY TO PLAY WITH GIRLS FEELINGS? WAS I JUST A TOY!? I EARNESTLY LOVED YOU! HOW COULD YOU?” Nikky screamed even louder. 

She stumbled towards me, and I could smell the rank scent of alcohol on her breath.

“NICHKHUN YOU WILL REGET HURTING ME!”

“Nikky, stop it,” it was Min Ji who spoke.

“SHUT UP OR I'LL KILL YOU!”

Nikky reached into her pocket, pulled out a gun, and pointed it at Min Ji.

“NIKKY DON'T DO IT!” I ordered.

“IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU THEN NO ONE CAN!”

*BANG*

Sharp pain.

An angel's scream.

Darkness.

[Min Ji’s P.O.V.]

It’s been six months since the funeral. Six months since I lost the person I thought I could spend my life with. Six months since Nikky was sent to jail. Six months since I regretted talking so loudly to Taecyeon oppa about our date. Six months since I felt anything other than remorse. Six months since the police gave me one last love letter. 


My Dearest Min Ji,

Saranghae. You are my first and only love. I want to spend time with you and make you happy, but I know I can't. I'm too afraid to lose you, like I lost everybody else I loved. “When you’re in love and you get hurt, it’s like a cut... it will heal, but there will always be a scar.” Someone who loved me once said this. You made the scar of my sisters' death disappear. I know that you’ll object and say you want to be with me, but I'm not breaking up with you. 

I'm asking you to wait. Wait until I become a person worthy of you. I will always be there for you, but I want to treat you like a treasure, I want to support you the way you supported me. Please say you will wait for me my precious Min Ji. I want to become the perfect person you can be with. I write this with the hopes that we will one day have a life together and also because I am too much of a coward to say these words, so I must write them. I want you to have all of my heart.

Saranghae,
Nichkhun
