Diary of Jeno

XX.07.XXXX

I walked to the columbarium which belongs to his parents. Putting down two daisies, I bowed down 90 degrees to show respect before leaving. Just then, the rain started pouring. Frustrated with life, tears slid down my cheeks as it mixes with the raindrops. When I came back into reality, an umbrella was open above me. To my surprise, this is where he met her. 

"Hey, did you give me your umbrella?" I followed the girl in front and tapped her shoulder. She turned around looking at me, she was in a black top and black skirt, her crystal eyes red after crying, her slightly wavy hair flowed to her chest like silk, a black signature headband in her hair. "I have my own one. You can have this and don't return it to me so that you can have an umbrella when it's rainy." She said before leaving my in awe. This is my first time meeting her. 


XX.09.XXXX

I saw her again today. Where?  She works in a flower shop. I wanted to buy a dozen of roses for my girlfriend. When I pushed the door, the bell hanging on the door rang slightly, a sweet, light melody floating out with the ambiguous feeling seeping through the pastel pink walls. I scent of rose blossoms reached my nostrils. She looked up from the counter with a small smile, "How may I help  you sir?"

"A dozen of roses, reserved by Mr. Lee Jeno." She nodded before getting the bouquet from one of the vases and handing them over. I couldn't help but notice her nails painted in a lovely lavender violet shade. She was wearing a light orchid purple sweater, paring with a knee-length white skirt and a pair of white d'orsay. A white ribbon was tied in her half-done hair, neat and tidy. "What's your name?" I asked. "Ahn Jisoo." She replied with a smile bright as the new cherry blossoms. 


XX.02.XXXX

I left for university for a year or so. The first thing I did was to go the the flower shop. I pushed the door open, the usual lovely tune and the same decorations, the place didn't change one bit. The girl on the counter looked up, "How may I help you, sir?" It was a new worker. "Is Miss Ahn Jisoo here?" I asked. "No, she's not here today." She replied. I have lost track on her, my heart sank at the thought of not seeing her anymore. I had broken up with my girlfriend before I leave for university. However, I have lost everyone I love now. 


XX.04.XXXX

It was my birthday today. Surprisingly, I met the person that I have been longing to meet. Ahn Jisoo. I was with NCT at the park having a small picnic. I saw her sitting under a tree nearby reading a book. She was wearing a white crop top with blue jeans and white Fila sneakers. I waved at her and her gentle yet subtle smile brightened up my day. She joined us with our picnic. I was grateful that I saw her that day. 



We started hanging out afterwards and I asked her out. She agreed. 



XX.07.XXXX

I was working late that day, she offered to bring me dinner that day. Finishing off the last note, I pressed the finish button. "We're done with the recording, Haram." I said, "Woud you like to listen?" "It would be a pleasure ding so, sunbaenim." She replied as she walked over. Tripping over a few wires on the ground, she landed on my lap. "Sorry, sunbaenim. I didn't mean too." She apologized awkwardly. Just then, the door opened, revealing Ahn Jisoo. Her eyes widened at the sight, she dropped the lunchbox she packed and stepped backward a little. I cannot help but notice that her were a little red from crying. 



XX.08.XXXX

I saw her walking along the streets today. She left that ever so quietly that nobody would notice her disappearance, but I did. Her hair tied neatly in a high ponytail, her red cardigan covered her white top, and the red skirt seemed to make her look taller. The white pair of kitten heels seemed to cost a lot though. And then, I remembered that this was our first anniversary gift. 



XX.11.XXXX

What a shocking day!!! I got a call from Jisung. He stated that a girl in a white dress left a black envelope in front of our dorm door. Later, Chenle called me and said that he saw a girl standing at the edge of the rooftop on the opposite building of our dorm, and Jisung said that it was the very same girl that put down the envelope. I was nearby, so I sped my way to the building while Jaemin called the police and ambulance. By the time I reached  the rooftop, she was already all ready to jump. She kept repeating my name nonstop. I ran sideways and because I can't think of any solutions, I pushed her down. Her head landed on my chest, our eyes meeting again. I told her that I love her and explained the situation she saw in the studio. "Jeno, I love you too." She whispered before closing her eyes. In her dress pocket, I found an empty sleeping pill bottle. I don't care if she is conscious or not, I kissed her on her lips. 

Back home, I opened the envelope and here was a USB inside. I plugged it into my laptop and the Dreamies all huddled over to see. It was a recording, since I had too many vocal recordings I named it according to the numerical order. #2368. "Jeno, I don't have another choice. I have loved you from the very beginning and will till the very end. I believe in you. I love you." Tears slid down my cheeks as I recalled how I met her. "Awwww, our hyungie is in love!" Jaemin cooed. "Don't worry, Nono. She'll be fine." Renjun comforted. I'm glad that I have my hyungs and dongsaengs with me. 



Ahn Jisoo's Diary

XX.01.XXXX

It was a rainy day, I was driving back home from work and I have a date with Jeno. As I parked my car outside my house and got off, remembering that I have left my gift for him inside my drawer. As I locked my door, a loud crash was heard from a distance. Curious about what it is, I didn't care about the pouring rain and ran until I saw the scene before me. Jeno was unconscious on the road in a pool of blood. According to passerby, Jeno's car was passing the green lights. However, another car slid along the slippery slope due to the poor weather condition and break failure. Therefore, a car crash happened. He was in a coma and I missed him deeply, I would definitely go see him everyday. 


Two years later...

XX.01.XXXX

It has been two years since his car crash.I sat down beside Jeno's bed, hoping he would open his eyes and see me. My friends and my sister that are around my age are already married. However, I'm not. Just then, he moved a little.   Around a minute later, he opened his eyes. My dream had finally came true! I rushed out of the room and shouted for the doctor and the Dreamies who were outside talking, "Doctor! Jeno woke up!"


A few more years later...

I opened my eyes to meet the bright sun shining into my bedroom. I sat up as our wedding photo came in sight. I finished off my morning routine in no time and opened the door. Walking  down the stairs, a plate of breakfast greeted me. Beside the burnt eggs was a sticky note, it read, "Sorry love, it was supposed to be fried eggs." I giggled as I wondered where they were. "Jeno? Kids?" I shouted-asked. My chest tightened as my voice echoed in the house. 

Laughs coming from the backyard soon ease my worry.  I walked out to the backyard and a warm sight met my eyes. Jeno was holding a shovel and teacher our daughter how to bury the strawberry seed, while our son which was a little older picked the ripe strawberries. "Morning, everyone." I smiled, leaning to the door frame, "Looks like our little Minho and Minjeong are growing up." 

He looked up, deep into my eyes and said, "Hey, how did my sweetheart sleep?" Before, engulfing all of us in a family hug.
