------------------------------
Yunho was so concentrated at writing he didn't notice Yoochun crept up behind him.
"Yunho!"
Yunho jumped in surprise, his heart pounding. "Yoochun! Don't scare me like that!"
"What are you so intently doing anyway? Exams are over you know, why are you still stuck inside, in the library of all places?"
"N-Nothing..." Yunho tried to discreetly hide away what he was writing. "Just looking at some books..."
Yoochun's observing eyes noticed the movement, and quick as a cat snatched the papers from beneath Yunho's arms.
"Hey! Give it back!" Yunho lunged at Yoochun, but he gracefully slipped away from Yunho's grasp.
"Look at what we have here... Roses are red, violets are blue, bed sheets are white, and so are...YOU...?! What is this?! A poem for a hospitalized patient?!"
"Shut up! It's hard to rhyme you know?!" Yunho tried once again to grab the papers, but Yoochun held it away from his reach.
"And what's this here? My vegetable love should grow...Vaster than empires, and more slow... An hundred years should go to praise thine eyes... Hey! You copied this one from Andrew Marvell!"
"Well, that's why I'm in the library!"
"You do know that the poem is about getting into the girl's pants right?"
Yunho blushed in embarrassment from his mistake. "Aish! I'm not in arts major for a reason!"
"Oh look, there's a second page!" Yoochun laughed at Yunho jumped onto his back to reach for the papers. "My love for you is like dividing by zero; you cannot define it...!" Yoochun laughed out loud. "Yunho! What is this?! I want to barf!"
"Shut up!"
"What’s your sine? It must be pi/2 because you’re the 1...! Hahaha! Are you picking up some physics chick?!"
"Okay, okay I get it! I suck at writing love letters! Can you stop laughing now?!"
Yoochun took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. "Yunho-hyung..." He reach out to swing his arm around Yunho's shoulders, who was still glaring at him. "Be glad that you met Yoochun, the love-genius."

Later that day, Jaejoong found a piece of paper in his mail box.
I don't know how to rhyme,
I don't know how to woo,
But what I do know is...
Jaejoong turned over the page.
I love you.
Jaejoong couldn't help but smile. Who was it that wrote this, he didn't know. Hopefully it wasn't some stalker...
---
The next day, there was another piece of paper.
You make forget my troubles,
forget my worries,
forget my sufferings...
On the other side, it read:
...and forget to breathe.
*breathes*
Jaejoong couldn't decide rather this person was normal or abnormal.
---
And the next.
I think I might be having Cardiac arrhythmia...
...because my heart is suddenly beating too fast, thinking about you.
Jaejoong frowned, wondering why the tone sounded so familiar.
---
Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds...
...I still love you.
---
Every time I look at you,
I see your beauty.
I hope that every time you look at me...
...you'll see my love for you.
---
I would say I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to hearts,
But when it comes to my own heart...
...I don't understand why it's constantly falling for you.

Jaejoong hesitated when he reached for his mailbox the next day, half expecting to see another piece of paper. Am I getting used to these love letters? Aish, don't get your hopes up Jaejoong. It might just be some sort of a prank.
It seemed too real to be a prank though. Some of them sounded really sweet, and some of them just sounded so much like Yunho he couldn't even believe his eyes. For the past six days, Jaejoong spent many sleepless nights trying to decipher this secret person. He'd wish it was Yunho. Actually, he'd loved it to be Yunho, but he knew that sometimes things are too good to be true.
He opened his mailbox to reveal the absence of the paper. He sighed. What did he expect? What are the chances of some random person falling in love with him? He was about to go back inside his house, but a yelled turned him back.
"Jaejoong-ah!" Yunho ran up to Jaejoong.
"Yunho! What are you doing here?" Jaejoong was perplexed. He hadn't seen him all week since after exams ended.
"I-I...I've come to give you this..." Yunho held out a piece of paper folded into the shape of a heart.
Jaejoong took it gingerly, not really sure what to do. "Ummm...thank you...?"
"You're suppose to open it."
Jaejoong nodded, his hand shaking as he unfolded the heart. Inside, there were these handwritten words:
My heart is falling for you, by itself. It's kind of lonely...
...would you like to fall with me?
Jaejoong looked up, with his mouth hung open in surprise. "Y-you...wrote this...?"
"And all the ones before." Yunho waited for some sort of reaction from Jaejoong, but he remained speechless and stationary. Yunho couldn't help but felt scared at Jaejoong's awkward expression. "You know...it's okay if you don't want to. Just pretend this never happened okay? I'll go now." Yunho turned around and broke off into a run.
A few seconds later Jaejoong finally realized that Yunho had ran away. "Yunho-ah! Wait!" He chased after him, and eventually caught up after a block, but Yunho refused to stay still.
"It's alright Jaejoong." Yunho said as he kept on walking backwards, away from Jaejoong. "I just felt it wrong, that's all. I thought perhaps you returned some of my feelings."
"No, it's not that! Listen--!"
"No! It's okay! You don't have to comfort me."
"I'm not comforting you! Just listen--!"
"Jae! We can still be friends right?! We can pretend that--!" This time, Yunho was the one cut off, by Jaejoong's kiss. Jaejoong had grabbed his neck with his arms to prevent him from walking backwards further, and had crushed his lips against his forcefully. Even before Yunho registered what happened, Jaejoong had already pulled back, blushing.
"T-That's the answer I want to give..." Jaejoong stuttered, staring at the ground. Suddenly, he felt his chin lifted up and soft lips brushed against his. Jaejoong smiled into the kiss.
Jaejoong's heart was pounding against his chest, but for the first time, it didn't hurt.

Extra scene (suggested by

------------------------------
For some odd reason, Yunho decided to take Jaejoong bungee jumping as their first date.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"I LOVE YOU JAEEEEEEEE!!!"
"I AM GOING TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"
"YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO SAY 'I LOVE YOU TOOOO'!!"
"DOESN'T MATTER!!!! I'M GOING TO DIE ANYWAYYYYYYYYY!!"
"DON'T YOU LOVE MEEEEEEEEE??!!"
"I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THAT I HATE YOU RIGHT NOW JUNG YUNHO!!!"
Yunho laughed as he held Jaejoong even closer to him.
They were both falling, but their hearts, light as paper, were soaring.
