Dear diary,

I FOUND HIM! MR. BASKETBALL. I FOUND HIM.

Turns out he was friends with Jisoo. I saw them hanging out together after school and there was no mistaking that it was himㅡMr. Basketball. That was his face. I knew it was. Though I couldn't remember what he looked like in these past few days, the moment I saw his face, I knew it was him.

So I texted Jisoo once I went home. I asked him who that dude was and what was his name. Jisoo replied later than I hoped for but luckily he still replied. He told me his name is Hansol, but he had another name, surprisingly. I never knew he'd have another name just like Jisoo. Vernon. That was his other name but I preferred his Korean name. Hansol. It had a nice ring to it.

Jisoo teased me about the sudden interest in his friend but I only explained why I was interested and curious. Then I asked him for Hansol's number, in hope that I'd be able to have it but all I got was a message saying, "I'll ask his permission first."

Truth be told, I was really shocked when I heard about that because back in my old school, we never asked permission and just send them to people. That was a culture shock for me because I never knew people were like that. I didn't know online etiquette existed. Sad difference is that they have more online etiquette than they have in real life.

I'm still waiting for Jisoo's reply. I really, really want to chat with Hansol. And here I realize, I've already stepped on the trap.

Love,
Mandu
