How could I not love someone as lovely as you... I just can't help it.
About
“Jaemin, get closer!”
I fiddled with the photo from graduation day for a long time. You had grabbed my arm as I stood awkwardly far away, pulling me tight against you and posing as if it were the most natural thing in the world. That version of you was still right there, captured in the photograph.
You were always beautiful. You didn't quite fit in here. Just as you didn't seem to belong among the rough rural scenery of this tiny village, a dark-skinned, plain, potato-like guy like me didn't seem to belong with you either.
Even when you came looking for me, asking me to scold the boys who were bullying you. Even when those boys saw how big and tall I was, and ran away without a peep. Even back then, when I took you to the back hill, picked a flower, and slipped it onto your finger.
I liked you.
You are such a dazzling person that sometimes I wondered if a guy like me even had the right to like you. Could someone as dull and unremarkable as me really keep you in my heart?
It didn't matter what happened to my feelings. It was okay even if you didn't love me back. As long as you could be happy, that was enough. I didn't want to cast a shadow on your bright happiness because of the ugly emotions of a guy like me.
All I wanted was for you to be smiling, wherever you are. I gently brush my fingertips over your face in the photo.
But... even so. How could I not love someone as lovely as you?
I just can't help it. Is it okay for me to keep you in my heart?

Intro
When did it start?
Whether you're throwing a tantrum over something ridiculous, or shamelessly insisting you're right when you're clearly wrong and demanding an apology from me instead. Even when you tease me by calling me a pig... looking at you like that, strangely, I don't get angry at all.
If anything, you're just cute.
I don't know why either. Everything you do is funny, I find myself wanting to look at you one more time, and I don't even mind when you're being difficult.
Since when did you start looking so cute to me? It was probably from the very first moment I saw you.
After finishing peeling the apple, I stuck a fork into a piece I had neatly cut into a rabbit shape. I held it out toward you.
"Say 'ah'."
