"Come and get it, GOT7"

"What's up we are-" I started.

"GOT7" And the seven of us proceeded in sync.

"We're here in MTV News and here are seven things you guys don't know about GOT7" I commenced while reading the script.

We decided to start the interview from the back as I and the other foreign members translated for the Korean members.

After Jinyoung ended with his TMI, my turn already came.

"He has a big revelation." Jackson said humorously referring to me.

"I have this bracelet right here, that we gave to our fans during Christmas, and I haven't taken it off since then." I showed them my wrist that has a nude-colored bracelet.

"It's called Sowon paljji. Like a wish bracelet, so you make a wish. When you put it on and then it falls off, then it means your dreams came true." I explained as I make eye contact with my members.

"If you want it to come true earlier, then you just wear it and you cut it. You just cut it off." Bambam commented that made us all laugh.

I'm an Asian and I believe in so many things. Including this. I had this bracelet ever since my first year in the industry and I emotionally and sentimentally wished on it. It sounds silly and I wasn't drunk at that time, but I kept it because I believed in it.

When I got back to my apartment, Milo was already running towards me that made me smile after a very tiring day. The Keep Spinning Tour just officially ended, it always feels weird when the tour ends and we got to have time to breathe and live a life.

It feels relieving that the tiring days already ended, but you will suddenly feel empty somewhere inside you because it's already over. Conceivably I'm missing the sound of the fan chants and I'm missing the feeling of performing on the stage. It just feels weird.

Maybe the weird feeling was because time passes by so fast that yesterday feels so distant, that today feels like one of those days in the past five years. And tomorrow is just the same.

"Hey buddy, how are you doing? Did you miss me?" I talked to milo as I caress his fur.

I went to the kitchen to drink some water and checked the refrigerator if there is anything that I can eat but I guess I'm just having a food delivery. For the past months while the tour was ongoing our life was like a pack and unpack then pack again and unpack again. I don't have time to buy any goods but thankfully, I have my friend, Sanjo from L.A. that took care of Milo and my house.

"What should I do now?" I asked Milo. He just sat on the floor that made me chuckle.

I hit the shower with warm water to freshen myself so I will be able to think clearly. While I was brushing my teeth in front of the mirror, I noticed that my hair on the upper lips is growing again but I don't have any razors inside the bathroom.

"Sanj, can you hand... oh, Sanj went back to L.A. how can I forgot?" When I realized my dumbness I just laugh it off and went out of the bathroom instead.

I know that this is my house but I don't know where the essentials are placed because I just don't know. I opened every drawer, every cabinet until I unconsciously opened the last drawer on the dresser that I've never opened for such a long time.

I took a deep breath and sat on the floor and took out a certain box that I've been keeping for so many years as Milo went to me and sat on my lap.
