Dearest Jaehyun,

I love you so much. More than you could ever know. I remember meeting you for the first time, your way of speaking and telling a story was so captivating. After meeting you for the first time, I went home and thought about you all night long. Not only was your voice engrained in my head, but your pretty face as well.

The wait until next Monday was impossibly long, it was one of the only times where I actually wanted to go back to school. I had butterflies in my stomach when you stopped at my locker in the hallway.

I don't really know why I'm retelling the story, you were there for every step of the way. After all, it wouldn't be Riwoo and Jaehyun without either of us. I think it's cause I just like to talk, and I really love you. So I love combining the two.

We were very close friends for close to two years, but I knew that I wanted to be with you immediately when figuring my feelings out. Not that I needed much time.

I'm not the biggest believer of love at first sight, but here, what I think between us — at least for me — I think it truly is love at first sight. The butterflies I got in my stomach when laying eyes on you despite not talking to you yet explain everything.

I remember your confession by heart, even if it's been almost 5 years, word for word. Your words really marked me, and I could never forget them. Even if I get amnesia, the first thing I'd remember would be your heartfelt confession.

You sounded so sincere, so desperate, if I didn't want to be with you, you would've cried. I know that, not that I would have ever rejected you. I obviously accepted it, that's why I'm writing this, you still cried when I said I liked you back.

Like... Crazy how far we've gone, we used to be so shy with the word Like. But now we easily say I love you, we still struggle by saying how much we love each other. But I guess, we both know without even saying it.

I've never been one to do big and flashy things, that I told you the first day when we started dating. I remember what you said; "I don't need anything big if I know that you like me." Those words stuck with me ever since, I think back every day.

They're so beautiful, and it tells me that your love for me is unconditional. Just like mine, I hope you already know that, if you didn't, I'd feel quite sad actually.

I've been with you for everything, that's cause I love you if you're wondering that.

I love how clingy you are, even if you said that sometimes you wished you could stop always hugging and clinging onto me. I adore it, I think it's cute, and when you go a full day (not that it happens often) without giving me the biggest and most comforting hug, my day's ruined.

You're the greatest person I could ever possibly date, I consider you as my first relationship as the one middle school relationship I had been forced into by my friends was annoying as fuck.

I realised that I've been writing for a long time now, I should stop talking — or writing I guess. I think no matter what I say, you get it. I really really love you, and I'll always be there for you.

Your boyfriend, Lee Riwoo

"Of course you have the longer one!" Jaehyun chuckled when unfolding the paper. Riwoo blushed red out of embarrassment. He knew that he talked a lot, and he always felt like he annoyed people. At least, he talked with the people he loved. He tried to stop himself sometimes, but he wouldn't be able to do it though.

Jaehyun was brushing brightly when reading through the letter. Despite it being all over the place, he thought it reflected Riwoo's thought process really well.

"When I started dating you, I knew that you'd talk a lot, I love that, it's a reason — out of many — I'm with you." Jaehyun gave him a quick peck on the side of his forehead. He continued reading it, Riwoo had a small smile on his face.

"Riwoo, this is so pretty! Thank you!" Jaehyun said hugging him tightly, he gave him a kiss afterwards.

Jaehyun then grabbed his arm, the letter fell on the floor as he brought him over to their room.

The taller boy fell on the bed, Riwoo fell on top of him. Jaehyun pushed him to the side so he was over him. It was to hug him easier, he gave the boy a soft kiss on the lips.

"Riwoo, I love you so fucking much." He said before this time roughly smashing his lips against Riwoo's. Jaehyun wrapped his arms around his waist and he continued kissing him.

"I really love you too Jaehyun, it's midnight though, we should continue tomorrow." Riwoo said, Jaehyun nodded and removed his arms but a couple of seconds later, he hugged him tightly again, like some kind of teddy bear.

"Yeah you're right, you're the oldest and most responsible for a reason." Jaehyun said with a light chuckle. He gave him a peck on the top of his head before closing his eyes. He could still hear Jaehyun though.

"How did I end up with you as such a great boyfriend?" Riwoo asked, knowing that he'd never get an answer. His eyelids were starting to feel heavy, so he decided to now close his eyes to sleep.

A small smile crept onto Jaehyun's face when hearing that, he realised that sometimes he didn't actually need letter, sleepy Riwoo would also be extremely honest, and sometimes very good at expressing his true feelings.
