I'd burn myself a thousand times to show how much I love you

The wind tickled my skin, I enjoyed this feeling of being so close to him. Soon we were deep in the forest, going from one three to the next. It was simply breathtaking, beautiful.

He was simply ethereal, he took my breath away with every step. I couldn't help but fall more and more in love with him. It was like we were connected to each other by a strong power, fate.

I was never one to believe in soulmates but Lee Minho was definitely mine. He was the light in the darkness that I needed. He's my reason for living, my reason for smiling.

I love him so much it hurts but not in a bad way. I just know I'd do anything for him. How could I not? It was my duty as much as it was his to keep me safe, I need to keep him safe as well. I need to cherish him just like he cherishes me.

I'm sad that after fighting so hard to finally be us, I have to let him go again. But if it meant his safety I'd do anything, including going back and pretending we never happened.

I remember when I first met Minho. I was new in forks and Mike was my seat mate. He showed me around and basically adopted me into his friend group. Well more like Jessica did but they both played a part in it. Bunch of crazy people but I love them.

There in the cafeteria I laid my eyes on the most beautiful man I've ever seen. Lee Minho. Jessica had told me all she knew about him and his unique family. Though not the exact words she used more like a bunch of weirdos.

I remember it so clearly. He was breathtaking but he looked so incredibly lonely. His eyes were so dull and lifeless. It made me wonder if he ever felt the kiss of love? Made me wonder what happened to him to make his soul cry like that.

I think that's part of what drew me towards him. I wanted to get to know him better, understand him besides the obvious attraction, because that man was simply gorgeous. Too gorgeous for this world.

He ran away from me the first chance he got. I felt hurt by it but I didn't let it stop me. I remember being a bit of a bitch to him afterwards but it was well deserved.

I didn't let it bring me down and I kept trying to pursue him, have him give in. The more I got to know him the more in love I was. The sadder I felt. He was hurting all this time for so so long, he was all alone. No one to understand his burden, his pain.

I wanted to share his pain. I have my fair share of pain that I've delt with all alone. That I tried to hide but he saw through me. Just like how I saw through him.

We became each other's support even before we decided to date each other. He didn't tell me his problems,no. But I could see he just felt comforted by my presence and my incessant need for us to be together.

I couldn't help but embarass myself time and time again for him. But that's what made it all the more real, it showed I was serious and truly wanted this. I could tell something in him changed when he saw the effort I was willing to put into him.

I could tell he felt seen for more then just his looks. We were connected by the red string of fate, an old superstition in my culture.

The red string of fate connects you to the one you're destined to be with. A thin string of red wool wrapped around your pinky finger and the end connected to the one.

The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break.

That's how strong I believe our bond is, that's why I will do whatever for him. That's why I must do this for him, for Lee Minho, my beloved.
