time skip ~

it's been over a year since everything had happened, things have gotten much better. it was rough at first, trying to adjust and not think about everything. i did get justice, and aly was sentenced to prison. we had a month break because of everything that went down. when we got back to work, i thought i was fine, but unfortunately i wasn't. i ended up going to therapy to talk through everything. i found myself getting better after a couple of months, but even up until now i still find traumas that i didn't think i had. it's honestly crazy, seeing how much someone can affect you without realizing it. although i still have some things to heal from, which i may not figure it all out, it's safe to say i am doing so much better.

dahyun and i had officially announced our relationship a couple months ago, and she's gotten so so much support. the rest of the girls also decided to announce their relationship. everyone in their comments were supportive, with a few "i knew it" in there. i also decided to not continue with schooling since i already had such a great job. my parents were okay with it, especially because they loved the girls so much. so i moved out into my own apartment. dahyun has her own space in the closet of course, i mean we're almost always with each other. i'm more than lucky to have her, she's honestly the best and always so supportive. she's been there for me through everything, i couldn't thank her enough. we had a few arguments, but nothing serious. just mainly out of frustration, letting emotions getting the best of us instead of taking some time to think.

she's really truly someone who i would hate to lose. i want to spend the rest of my life with her and have kids with her. i mean we've been together for a little over a year, but one thing is for certain. i am absolutely crazy about her and would never ever think about leaving her. she completes me, and all along there was some.. some invisible string that always led me back to her. even if i didn't know it was her, she came to me. to say i'm lucky, is a huge understatement. not even just about dahyun, just about the way my life turned out after high school.

it was crazy, yes, but just in this past year and a half i've done wonderous things. i followed my passion, got the craziest and coolest job, met the most amazing girls ever, and my parents and i gained a better relationship. honestly, all the good outweighs the bad, even though some of it was traumatizing, i will forever be grateful for the decision i made. i used to never believe the whole "everything happens for a reason" saying, mainly because i was always so down about everything. now, i'm grateful for everything in my life.

it's the middle of the day and i decided to get up and grab some lunch. i had the day off, but unfortunately the girls had some work to do. i decided to take the time to have myself a me day.. even though so far i've been in bed for most of the day. my body was telling me to rest, and that's exactly what i did. i was craving some ramen, so again, i decided to get up and now i'm heading towards the restaurant. since dahyun and i became public, more people notice me in public. most of them don't say anything because we had asked them to respect our privacy. fortunately, they did. a few come to say hi every now and then, but it doesn't bother me. some just spark a conversation even if it's not long.

on my way to the restaurant, i did pass a few fans of twice, that of course knew of me too. some said hi, some just looked at me with disbelief in their eyes. it kind of shocked me, i mean although i'm with someone who's famous, i don't consider myself to be someone to not believe you're seeing. part of my healing process was to take myself out on dates by myself. just so that i could handle independency as well. not saying i don't want dahyun, i view it more as self care. appreciating who i am by taking care and loving myself. it was definitely weird at first, especially because i wasn't used to being out by myself.. by choice. like before it was because i had no other option, but to be by myself. now i love going and doing things on my own every now and then.

a/n: this is me saying take care of yourself, love yourself and treat yourself kindly. you deserve the best. treat yourself the best, in whatever way you can express it. i want you to be happy xoxo

i sat and ate at the restaurant and just thought about how crazy life works. as i was sitting, i decided to grab my sketchbook out and start drawing. it was just a few sketches of some flowers, a cityscape, and animals. drawing was a hobby i picked back up again, i felt like being i needed to continue to creatively express myself to fully find myself. after i finished up my food i decided to head back to my apartment. i wanted to relax for a bit and let my food fully digest before working out. however, my relaxing turned into me cleaning up my apartment. it wasn't a hassle or anything, i just told myself to relax and breathe, watch some shows, but instead i wanted to be productive. nothing wrong with that.

after i finished cleaning, i packed my bag to head towards the gym. since working with the girls, i've picked up dancing too.. however me dancing is just me doing their choreographies, but i was getting better each day, and i was proud of myself. i did my usual workouts, and finished it off with some dancing. i didn't think i'd enjoy it as much as i do, but here we are. i did a couple different choreos to end my session. as i was grabbing my things to head back, i checked my phone and received a text from dahyun.

y/n, i'm at your apartment.. can we talk? it's important.

reading that had many thoughts running through my head, for one i think i was in shock that i forgot she had the key to my apartment, but then it clicked, but then of course the other racing thought.. what the hell is this about. i sent her a quick reply saying i'll be back in a few minutes, and i made my way back as quickly as i could, with panic racing through my body.
