To All The Boys I've Loved Before

Park Jimin

You grabbed the next letter and carefully opened it.

A small folded up playbill fell out.

The lead actor was exactly who you expected it to be, Park Jimin.

You looked at the date written on the letter. You had just turned seventeen.

To Park Jimin,

You were the lead love interest in my life for a while, did you know?

I was only in that class because of Jungkook. He, being the amazing friend he is, convinced me to add drama to my schedule so I could entertain him in class.

I walked into class a bit late. You were already on stage rehearsing with another girl. Your eyes were on her as your character confessed his love.

I sat down next to Jungkook, directly in your line of sight.

You looked past the girl and caught my eyes, but kept talking, as if you were saying those things to me.

I still remember the lines.

"I know it's impossible for me to feel this way, since we've only just met, but please understand. Hear me out. I've fallen madly, deeply, and desperately in love with you. And here I am, some pathetic, love-struck fool, staring into your deep, dark eyes that hold the brightest of lights behind them, asking you to love me too."

I was breathless. Your stare burned into me but I couldn't look away. I didn't want to.

I was completely and utterly captivated by you.

The director yelled cut and asked you why you weren't making eye contact with your love interest.

You said you had gotten "a little distracted" and winked at me.

After class, you came up to me and we talked for a bit. You asked me if I had seen your monologue. I said yes.

You said that you would think of my eyes from now on while performing that scene.

I was down for the count.

You and your stare roped me in, Park Jimin.

Over the next few months I was entranced by your performances. My eyes were glued to you as you stepped into a whole other world on stage.

Every so often your gaze would meet mine and you would discreetly wink. Every little gesture made me smile like an idiot.

I never knew if you knew how I felt. Even Jungkook, the most oblivious man on Earth, asked me about it, but you never did.

I had fallen madly, deeply, and desperately in love with you.

After your last performance, you walked off stage and gave me a rose. In that moment, no other physical object mattered to me more.

You invited me to the cast party and I spent twenty minutes trying to fix my hair.

I got there and your gaze met mine again, but this time no wink.

This time, you broke your stare and looked at the girl next to you. She whispered something in your ear and you two walked outside and weren't seen again for a while.

I guess all of your winks and special moments were just acting.

Park Jimin, you were my second love, but my first heartbreak.

You took a deep breath and remembered your intense, yet immature, feelings at that time in your life.

That was a rough night, but it was also where you met Kim Taehyung.

Speaking of, you had another letter to read.
