it's been eight days since the announcement was posted.
honestly, it still feels unreal to me — an engene since i-land. i watched as these seven individuals debuted with their own efforts and patience, and it pains me when heeseung 'left' the group. people may call me stupid for still being in 'denial'. honestly, with how things are being escalated in hybe, i find it hard to believe.
it's been a week, yet there's no announcement regarding the progress about his solo debut. in fact, other official accounts shamelessly uploaded merchandise and collaborations still ft heeseung. he already bought the ticket to Australia, but now it's cancelled — the last minute change in the choreos? it doesn't add up at all.
it pains me whenever i open twitter — more 'engenes' are turning into an ot6. it would be slightly acceptable if they were to support his 'decision' to be a solo artist, but the only words came out? pure hatred, insults and resentment, as if these people have been holding it in for long. purposely spreading rumours about how the members hate heeseung?
grief, is real. my friends may find it ridiculous, at how i am still grieving over his departure. somehow, it slightly lessened my motivation to continue studying in the college (the parasocial is catching up to me..). the funniest thing is, I couldn't even watch those ship videos anymore. the thought of them rarely interacting from now on would be considered self harm to me (as it is damaging my own mental health).
i still find myself tearing up whenever I'm alone. at the rip age of 19, crying over a grown man. how funny is that?
