Title: For You
Part: 8 (Final)
Yoochun glanced around warily, double-checking if he was alone before he could slip the white envelope into the mailbox. When he found no one around at this late hour of the day, he looked down on his hand and eyed the envelop; thinking that it would be the last time. With a resigned sigh, he slipped the envelope and quickly turned around before he could be seen. And when he disappeared into the corner, a figure stepped out from behind the tree.
He had been watching the whole time and wasted no time getting to the mailbox. He smiled with excitement when he saw the familiar envelope that he had been waiting for since last Saturday. He wondered why there was no letter last Saturday and hoped that there would be an explanation. He opened the envelope and started reading. While he read, his smile has disappeared and his face was replaced with a frown.

Dear You,
I am sorry I didn’t write to you last week. I wanted to but I couldn’t. I suddenly don’t know what to say anymore.
I got scared. I don’t want this to diminish but I think I will have to stop now for real. This will be my last letter to you.
My only wish for you is to be happy. Please stay happy, healthy and take care of yourself.
From Me.
PS. I’m sorry.
He folded the letter and let out a heavy sigh, already knowing the reason behind the letter. He stood in the cold for a while before he made a decision that he won’t let it end just like that. With an ultimate goal in mind, he rushed back into the house and set to work.
The next morning, Yoochun woke up with a heavy heart. His brother grew concerned when he refused to eat breakfast and hadn’t said more than two words. He spent the whole morning staring at the ceiling and ignored the calls on his phone, knowing it would be either Jaejoong or Changmin and he wasn’t in the mood to speak with them.
He got up from his bed and went over to his balcony without a jacket for fresh air. He looked afar; he could see the roof of the Kim’s house few blocks away considering that his apartment was on the top floor. He decided it was a bad idea to look at it because he suddenly felt depressed again. He went back inside and flopped back into his bed when his door opened.
“Hyung? I found this in the mailbox,” his brother handed him a white envelope.
Yoochun sat up and accepted the envelope, eyeing his name on the front without an address.
“What is this?” he asked.
His brother shrugged on his shoulder, “considering today is White Day, maybe a secret admirer, if you have one?” he suggested.
“Hardly, I didn’t even-” his eyes widened in realization and tore the envelope open. He pulled out the letter and started reading. His breath hitched when he read the first few words and couldn’t believe that what he thought was impossible has happened.
He was being replied to.

Dear Me Yoochun,
You are such a cute babo do you know that? Why are you suddenly scared? Is it because I met you?
Do you have any idea how much your letters made me happy? At first, I was wary of your letters until I find myself looking forward to receiving them. I enjoyed learning things about you and your friends. I was right when you told me about Pretty Boy. The whole time you told me and described your friends, I was making guesses. Jaejoong hyung is really a pretty boy and he is the only one who can be so vain and dramatic. When you mentioned Tall Man, I knew instantly that it was about Yunho hyung. It’s a small world and it’s even a smaller world because Changmin is my bestfriend. And he failed to mention to me that he met you but somewhere in the back of my head, Bottomless Pit sounded like him though I wasn’t sure if you were talking about him.
First of all, I want to thank you for your Valentine’s gift. I love the portrait and I hung it right away on my wall after I framed it. My brother, Junho, made fun of me from the start when I received your letters. He found the first letter and thought it was for him. He handed it to me after he read it because he told me he doesn’t look that cute. Every time I receive your letters, I had to hide them right away before he could read them because he love to tease me. It’s no fun getting teased by an older brother for the whole day, seriously.
I never found you to be a boring person. The whole time, I was flattered that you like me and you are intriguing in every letters I’ve received from you. I can tell that you are sweet and charming in your own way. To tell you the truth, I’ve already seen you before.
I also saw you at the park. The first time I saw you, you were with someone who looks like you. I assume it was your younger brother? I saw you there again few days after and you were by yourself. You looked like you were drawing and I was attracted to you by how serene you looked. And out of nowhere, you smiled at a little girl who waved at you. You really got a great smile. Damn…I sound like a grease-ball.
You are more courageous than I am and I admire you for that. I don’t think I could have done what you did. Maybe if I bumped into you somewhere, that could have worked but I hardly know anything else about you and I had no idea that you lived nearby. Few weeks after you started sending me letters, I wanted to see who was sending the letters. I tried hiding behind the wall and I waited there for few hours, only to find myself falling asleep and missed your arrival. Imagine my disappointment because I really wanted to know who you were.
I was glad when I bumped into Jaejoong hyung and you were there with him and that was when I instantly knew that it was you all along. You have no idea how happy I was, the guy that I like was the one who has been sending the letters to me. And I just wanted to hug you right there but I couldn’t. I wasn’t courageous enough and Jaejoong hyung was right there…I don’t think I can handle his sadistic teasing.
I like you and I want to know more about you. If you would allow me, I want to be the one to keep you warm and safe from the cold. I will be waiting for you by the park today and even if you don’t come, I will always be waiting. I like you that much Park Yoochun.
Yours Always,
Kim Junsu
PS. Happy White’s Day! I have something for you…
Yoochun gaped at the letter. He dropped the letter on his bed and made a dash out of the door.
“Hyung! Don’t forget your jacket!” his younger brother yelled but he was already out of the house when he heard the slam of their main door.
His younger brother glanced at the letter and smiled, fished for his phone in his pockets and made a call.
“Changmin hyung? Is Jaejoong and Yunho hyung with you? Ehh what? They’re on it again? How shameful of them! Anyways I just wanted to let you know that Yoochun hyung is on his way out to..errr…have a new happy mushy beginning. Looks like you have a new member joining your group!”

And finally it's finished! Hope I answered all the questions you had in mind. If I missed something, you can still ask me and I'll fill in the blanks. I tried my best to answer everything in Junsu's letter.
I'd like to thank you guys so much for being patient as I know that some of you are very curious and I had to leave you hanging for awhile. Thank you for bearing with me.
