Jennie's P.O.V.

"Can you check some stuff in Irene's room for me?" Lisa speaks, over the phone. "Why? Wait, wait, slow down bud..."

"Just go do it, the thought won't get off my brain that I need to find out about it now." She says, and hangs up without a warning.

"Hmm? What's wrong with her?"

What am I supposed to find here? I have no idea. I'm just doing as she says without even knowing what she was talking about.

God damn Irene what did you do this time? And what are you trying to find Lisa?

After minutes of searching all I found was a shoe box hidden under her bed, but not filled with shoes, but with other stuff. Photographs, papers, a diary, and a rose laminated.

Interesting enough, the diary dated back from 2015-2018, three years ago.

"Let's take a look..." I said, opening the diary. The first part were just blank pages or schedules to do and stuff, until I met the first dear diary she wrote.

"Dear diary, today is the day of freedom. Will I finally be free and in peace?" I read, confused by the words.

"Wait this is the day she left Korea for Canada... When she had to work overseas."

I scrolled the pages until I reach 2016, filled with hearts and romantic stuff. "This year is the year they started dating... June of 2016." I said under my breath, continuing to read her diaries and see pictures of them together.

"Wait, why is she saying this photo is taken in Busan? She's suppossed to be in Canada?"

I continued scrolling past her diary until I reached the end parts. 2018. "I broke up with him. I couldn't do this anymore, I try to live a new life, a new beggining but then in my heart I still miss them. My friends..."

Is she trying to say she tried to start a new beggining on her own, tried to forget her friends and--

So this is what Lisa was trying to find? What kind of person are you Joo-Hyun? What were you trying to do?

Hastily, I dialed Lisa's number and called her, "Found some interesting things..." I said, which I heard her sigh in relief over the phone.

"Wait can you try to search for a music box?" She says over the phone, pissing me off. "Why didn't you tell me that before, I'm tired finding stuff now. I still have to go to work!" I responded, sighing.

"Sorry unnie, I only remembered it now. But that one... It has some significance too so find it please?" She pleaded, then hang up again without even letting me answer.

.........

I stopped by the cafeteria to see Jungkook, after not being successful in the search of the music box.

"Hey, I'll have the usual order, but pay it for me please? We're friends anyway and you're the owner too." I giggled, asking him a favor which he rolled his eyes on me.

"They'll serve it here." He says, sitting in front of me. "You're here again. You seriously got no work huh?" He says.

"I'm only stopping for awhile to get some coffee, then I'm going to work. Happy?" I responded with a scoff.

My order was made and so he stood up to get it instead, though someone else could serve it to my table. As he stood up, an object flew off his pockets, now on the ground. I went to pick it up only to realize it was a music box.

I scrutinize it only to see a mark of J.K. in it, while the inside had a small letter in it, with the initials of Irene written on the tiny paper.
