Sunday

The week passed by so slowly. I was so bored and it was painful, I tell you.

My friends and I played in the arcade to lessen the boredom. But that was only for a day, last Wednesday.

Donghyuck and his parents went on their annual out-of-country vacation. They're going to Tokyo this year, though they've been there two years ago. Donghyuck says he wanted to go back there, so yeah.

He's an only son, by the way.

I was invited, as always. But of course, I had to decline. Not because I can't afford it. Well, I can't. But Uncle Johnny could.

He was willing to pay for my expenses so I could go with Donghyuck and his parents to Hong Kong Disneyland one time, about four years ago. My passport just had to be renewed.

If only my dad had allowed me.

Tch. What a killjoy.

Anyway, Uncle Johnny's fond of me because I'm his only nephew. He doesn't have a wife nor kids yet. He's just twenty-four.

The others have their own vacations as well. Jeno and his family are going to their province to celebrate Christmas with their relatives.

Jaemin's grandparents and other relatives, on the other hand, are going to their house this year to celebrate.

Renjun and his parents are going back to their hometown in China this year, and they won't be back until the first week of January.

Me?

Well, like I said, I'm stuck here in this hellhole of a house. I don't really mind it. I'm already used to it, and my dad seldom gives attention to me during this season.

December 23, 2008.

It's been nine years since that tragic day.

And he's still grieving.

I haven't seen New Girl after our encounter in the park. I haven't been going out too.

It was getting colder each day, and all I wanted to do was stay in the comfort of my warm room, write some lyrics, and compose songs.

Yes, I write lyrics. I love music. Writing and composing are two of my favorite hobbies, if I'm not bullying anyone.

I know, strange, right? For a bully like me.
