Unexpected Events ¦ Chanbaek

Dear Diary...

A/N: Here's some short explanation:
Yes, this thing didn't let me sleep since I saw it.
And yes, I really didn't want to write this at first.
But yes, it literally begged me to write this.
(The same goes for a Jikook story that is planned - it was inspired by a god damn meme!)
I wanted to delete pics from my phone last night and came across this and that's when I decided:
'Fuck this shit! Where's my laptop?! I'm writing this! Now!'
So...
Here we go...

Diary entry:

Hi! I'm Park Chanyeol and this is my diary. No one should be reading this because a diary is something intimate and private but I feel better introducing myself everytime I start a new diary.

As if a book cares...

But I feel like a diary is comparable to a friend who I talk to about my worries, so it deserves to know who I am. What am I even saying... I must have gone crazy due to the most recent events!

My old one wasn't even full yet but this morning has changed my life a lot. Nothing will ever be like it was before - *cough* drama queen Channie *cough* - so I went to buy a new diary. I couldn't imagine continuing to write into my other diary as if nothing happened.

But let me tell you what happened, so that you maybe understand why I decided to buy a new diary even though I bought my old one only two months ago.

I woke up late this morning. Usually I get up earlier than everyone else in the house I live in does. I work in a gas station on one of the highways that passes through Seoul. But I finally got a day off work. Yay.

Let me tell you one thing: working at a gas station that's opened 24/7, located on the busiest highway in Korea, with a man who's the definition of asshole as your boss and the rudest, most arrogant business people you will ever meet passing by to buy snacks and stuff, is really no fun. The customers think they're more worth than you because they're CEO's or something important in the business world and they treat you like shit even though they couldn't even use the highway properly without you doing your work.

I haven't had my alarm set for any time, so I woke up at 11:30. Don't judge me! I hadn't gotten much sleep lately... And I had felt really depressed due to the lack of sleep.

Actually now that I think about it... I was happy the minute I woke up... I remember smiling into the sun that shone on my face...

A/N: I'm sorry you must be so pissed by my flashbacks if you read 'Perfect'... I also hope you're not confused because of Chanyeol's comments in the middle of him writing his flashback...

Flashback

I open my eyes. What a beautiful day! Waking up to the sun shining on my face! Haven't had this for a while. Finally spring is here! I smile. It was about time. It's already April. I turn over to my phone. 11:30am. Great time to wake up. I feel so refreshed! I quickly unlock my phone.

What? No notifications at all? I sit up in my bed and lean my back against the headboard. I usually get post notifications around 8 in the morning from Baekhyun... Maybe EXO has a day off to relax too?! Then he might be still asleep... That would be good. They need to rest. I shrug. But their company barely let's them rest. Maybe he's so busy that he doesn't even find the minute to take a photo and post it...

A/N: The note is by Chanyeol in this story not by me so calm down. And sorry for using the Wikipedia description and changing it a little.
/Note: In case you have no idea who EXO is, I'll gladly tell you. Exo (Korean: 엑소; stylized as EXO) is a South Korean-Chinese boy group based in Seoul. Formed by S.M. Entertainment in 2011, the group debuted in 2012 with eleven members separated into two subgroups, Exo-K (Suho, Baekhyun, D.O., Kai, and Sehun) and Exo-M (Xiumin, Lay, Chen and former members Kris, Luhan and Tao), performing music in Korean and Mandarin respectively. I love their music! In the morning it motivates me to go to my shitty job, during the day they help me to keep a smile on my face and at night their music calms me down from my stressful everyday life, so I can at least get a little amount of sleep.\

I check Sehun's instead of Baekhyun's account. He posted a pic of the yin-yang symbol around 8 hours ago... The caption only says 'In loving memory of Hyung'.

...

What?

...

I read some of the comments. They didn't seem to be meant for Sehun. They seem to be meant for the person who Sehun meant with 'Hyung'...

'EXO-L's will always love you'

'You will be dearly missed'

'We will never forget you'

'There's no EXO without you'

Even the three members who left EXO a while ago commented...

hztttao: I didn't get the chance to say goodbye but I'd like to let everyone know that he will always have a special place in my heart

7_luhan_m: My thoughts are with the rest of EXO... It makes me sad that you had to lose a fourth member to such circumstances, stay strong

galaxy_fanfan: I know I'm not part of this family anymore but if it would've been someone else and not him I'm sure he would've said 'we are one' to encourage us to move on... Let me say it in his place for one last time: EXO! We are one! My thoughts are with you

oohsehun: Thank you for your words. PD-nim said you could all come to his funeral, let's forget what happened in the past and be one again at least for this one day. I'm not speaking as myself but as the voice of all the other members: Please come. For him.

...

What?

End of flashback

A/N: This start is even worse and more boring than usually... I'm so sorry... I hope you didn't soak your tshirt while reading like I did while writing this chapter. It's just so awful to imagine... It makes me remember that Seungri (it was him right?) had that car accident a few years ago and that the situation I described could've happened to Big Bang - who are the reason why I'm sitting here writing this now. And this could happen to every group at any time. The day I rewrote this chapter and this author's note here, was the day I heard that actor Kim Joo Hyuk passed away after a car accident. This made me realise even more how fast things like this can happen... But I won't go deeper now. Thanks for reading.
