24th june, 1940

i got an australian ice cream making kit from jake, colouring sets from heeseung, a few plushies from jay, and a sunshine keychain with my name on it in fancy letters from jungwon.

they might not have been expensive presents, or the one thing i wanted from them - bus as long as they were there, i was content.

"you know.. it's sad that we have to go this soon." jake said, munching on his slice of cake.

"mhm," niki agreed, just staring at his plate. "heeseung, can't we just stay? why do we have to leave sunoo?"

"kiki! i've told you - sunoo cajt come because he's ill, and we have to go for mandatory service."

"and the war," sunghoon added.

"yeah, and the war. so please, i'm sorry, niki, but get over yourself and suck up the fact that we have to leave and fight for our country, ok?" heeseung slammed his hand on the table, glaring at niki.

i patted heeseungs back. "hey, hey. calm down. you'll come back - i know you will! i don't want any letters from the army unless it's them telling me you can all come home to me. understood?" they all nodded and looked down.

no. it was not understood. liars.

"mhm. what i thought. now, eat, my family!" i laughed.
