In the name of those, who don't know me 

Hey,

If you're reading this, then... you know the PIN, but how...??

This dairy is my secret - whatever in this is my secret. So, from now on, you're my secret, and I'm yours. Promise me that you will never tell anything to anyone. 

What would I call you?? I don't know who you're- he or she.

By the way,

I'm Kim Taehyung. It's Tae for those who know me well. Well... :)

Thanks for joining the journey!

Jeongguk stopped as the first page was completed. A tingling sensation rushed through his veins. It's really happening. Eyes sparkling with tears when he repeated it inside: Kim Taehyung.

A smile came to his lips as he chanted the name. It was a weird feeling to touch the pages and the beautiful handwriting. He turned to the next page. The boy wrote a date on the right side of the page.

Thanks, Dad, for this beautiful gift. It's not just a diary of a nineteen-er.  But this is an anecdote of a broken, fairy tale of a sin, stories of an introvert, secrets of a good boy.

Jeongguk paused to think about those words Taehyung used to describe himself. It's felt like Taehyung was surprisingly confident when he wrote them. Jeongguk continued his reading.

I don't need any introduction about myself. 'cause I know myself better than anyone. But, you need it (if anyone reading this)                  

I want you to know me, from me, through me. And... You're in the right place.

To your disappointment, there's nothing much about my family. Mr. Kim has three kids- Beakhyun, Taeyeon, and Taehyung. The same family stuff of an old divorcee who is rich and reputed in the society and his kids struggling to grow up without a mother and studying hard to get good grades. Long story.

Yesterday was my 19th birthday- 30-Dec. A little late to write this. That's all for today.

Jeongguk completed the page and calculated the boy's age. He was impatient to shift to the next page. But found 4:15 am on the clock. With a little pout on his lips, he closed the diary and whispered to the wind.
