"Hello?"
"Kihyun hyung?"
"Changkyun? Is something wrong?"
Changkyun's voice shook. "I-I need to be away from Hyunwoo."
"Where are you right now?"
"I'm near your flat."
The younger could hear shuffling and the doors of a door opening. The call suddenly disconnected.
"Kihyun hyung...?"
"I'm here."
The voice didn't come from the phone. Changkyun turned and there was Kihyun, his hair slightly disheveled. Kihyun smiled reassuringly and Changkyun ran straight into his closest friend's open arms.
"You haven't been outside for long, have you? It's so cold, you might get sick!" Kihyun scolded lightly, ruffling the younger's hair and pulling him inside. Kihyun locked the door and made Changkyun sit on the couch as the older quickly brewed a cup of lemon tea.
"Do you want to talk about what happened?" Kihyun asked, careful not to sound intrusive.
Changkyun rubbed his forehead with a sigh. "Hyunwoo met up with Yuna while we were at the bar. She said she wanted him back and he's thinking about being with her again."
"He didn't say anything about you? Or your relationship?" Kihyun asked.
The younger shook his head.
"As bad of a person Yuna is... that doesn't change the fact that she was his first."
"Changkyun... as your friend and Hyunwoo's friend... you have to fight for him. You can't let her be with him. We both know it'll just break Hyunwoo's heart again, but he'll be too blind to see it."
Kihyun stopped talking, unnerved by Changkyun's silence.
"Chankyunie?"
The boy was quiet. His eyes were shut and his eyebrows were furrowed in concentration.
"Remember when I used to stay with you back when I was still in college?" Changkyun asked.
Kihyun paused thoughtfully before nodding. "I remember. Why?"
"I had a box in my old room. I don't know if you still have it..."
"I do, actually. When I was clearing out your room, I put everything you left in my closet."
The younger followed Kihyun to his bedroom. The older opened the door to his walk-in closet. Changkyun was surprised by how neat it was. It was rather large for a flat like Kihyun's.
"Changkyunie. In here." Kihyun pushed a laminated shoe box towards. Changkyun's eyes nearly welled up with tears. It was as if time had never passed. A thin layer of dust coated the box. It was completely untouched, except for three white letters written neatly on the lid, protected with laminate.
I.C.K.
Im Changkyun.
Kihyun smiled and ruffled Changkyun's hair before leaving the room to shower and to give the younger boy time alone.
Changkyun removed the lid from the box carefully, as if it would crumble into dust if he handled it too roughly, and set the lid down. In the box was a thick leather notebook. The pages were all clean, as if they had been written on just minutes before. He riffled through them, curious as to what his younger self had written years before.

I met someone today. His name is Son Hyunwoo. He's a few years older than me, but he's really kind to me. He's really close with Hoseok and Kihyun, so I think I can trust him. Minhyuk and Jooheon were making up plans to hang out together with him sometime soon. I admire the way they both are so positive and optimistic everyday. Of course, they included Hyungwon. He's usually so shy, but when he's with them, he's so funny and opens up so much more. Kihyun was quiet... as usual. I worry about him sometimes. He seems to have a lot on his mind these days, but I'm happy that he's so happy with Hoseok.

Hyunwoo is really nice. He's pretty quiet. I wonder why... Sometimes he seems like he's in pain. Like someone broke his heart. If that's the reason he seems sad sometimes... I wish I could help him. He doesn't deserve to be heartbroken.

I've caught myself thinking about Hyunwoo for a while... I feel sorry for him, but there's something else. I can't put my finger on it.
Son Hyunwoo, what are you doing to me?

At this point, I KNOW I have a crush on Hyunwoo. What's going on with me? I've had small crushes before but this feeling... I don't know how to describe it, but it feels like more than a crush. I'm too nervous to talk to anyone about it. I'd talk to Dad about it... but he doesn't even know that I'm bisexual...

Hyungwoo finally asked me out! I told Kihyun today and asked him for advice. He said to "just be myself" and "make sure you trust your instincts." He mentioned that when he and Hoseok had gone out on their first date, Hoseok was so nervous! Kihyun held his hands and kissed him right then and there. That's when they both knew they were in love. I want to experience that kind of love one day.

I had my date with Hyunwoo today.
It.
Was.
Breathtaking!
It's almost midnight... I'm so thankful for Kihyun for covering for me. Dad would have killed me if he knew I had been out that late-- ON A DATE!
The park was so pretty.
There were wildflowers and grass so soft and long that it nearly reached to our ankles! Hyunwoo set up a picnic with food and candles... After we ate, we stargazed and he held me as we laid in the grass.I remembered what Kihyun told me, so I kissed his cheek. I was blushing so much!!He noticed and he smiled. His beautiful, endearing smile. THEN he kissed me. I felt like fireworks were going off in my stomach.
Is this what love is? If it is... I want to be in love forever.

Changkyun wiped away his tears. He had forgotten all those feelings that had taken over him when he wrote in his journal all those years ago. Reading through his entries gave him hope that everything was going to be okay.
