chapter one. chapter two. chapter three.

[5:01 pm] "what the fuck." a loud thud sounded as my phone fell flat to the floor. i was stunned and lost for words. i quickly picked up my poor phone left lying on the floor.

congratulations choi yuna! you won a 1:1 video call with nct's mark lee! reach out to us on kakaotalk through id: 000006172004

the email was sent to me three days ago. i distinctively remember using my personal email to purchase their recent album. i only bought one to add to my growing collection on my shelf, and i wasn't expecting i would win in a fansign event, considering most winners buy in bulk.

fuck. realization has dawned upon me. the email was sent three days ago. three days ago! what if they decided to give my slot to someone else? or worse, what if i've missed the event entirely? my hopes and dreams of meeting mark lee was thrown out of the window.

i quickly messaged the contact detail that was sent to me. fingers crossed, i'm not too late.

[5:41 pm] fourty minutes has passed and nothing. i grabbed my pillow and let out a frustrated scream. "argghh! i'm stupid! stupid! stupid!" out of irritation, i didn't notice that i was talking in my native language.

ding! i whipped my head in the direction of the sudden sound. it was my phone. i swiftly grabbed it and opened it.

your 15% off coupon to west wings is expiring.

i was about to dig a six feet hole on the ground and bury myself, when a notification banner popped out of the screen. it was the details of the time and date of the event, and the link directing to the call.

"fuck yes!"

chapter one. chapter two. chapter three.

[2:01 am] “time check, it’s two in the morning.”, i angled the camera in front of me. i hummed softy as my fingers danced along the strings of my guitar.

i twirled the pencil in my left hand then erased a few words and made adjustments to the lyrics. there, all set.

“ehem.” i cleared my throat. i flipped the pages on the notebook in front of me. “the words just came to me out of nowhere.”

“uhh let’s see…” i bit my lip in concentration as i strummed my guitar setting a soft melody.

[3:28 am] i stretched my arms and yawned. who knew editing the three-minute video would take me this long? i usually work fast, but i got pulled into the rabbit hole that is twitter. stupid bird app.

luna loves you posted a new video:

“sooo its 3 am and i wrote a new song ..? (underwater tears demo)”

@lunalovesyou tweeted:

NEW VID UP!!!! check out my new song: underwater tears <3 lmk what u think hehe >< http://youtube/watch.jcu17

[4:37 pm] “yah donghyuck! did you steal my earphones again?” i shouted at the boy five feet from me.

“no, of course i didn’t!” i shot him a dirty look. “ok fine i borrowed it! it’s in the drawer back in our room.”

i sighed heavily in exasperation. my legs feel like jelly. i’m too tired to go back to the dorms and find my earphones.

“here.” jaemin handed me something. “i have another pair back in the dorm, you can have this.” he smiled at me.

i thanked him and sat at the far left corner of the practice room. i opened the youtube app and searched for her name. she tweeted about a new song—underwater tears.

i clicked on the video. the background was familiar. she was in her room. fairy lights adorned the canopy of her bed. a few plushies were on the ground. multiple albums sat on her shelf.

“…i’ve been exhausted my whole life

it’s a never ending cycle

of trying to swim upwards

but my feet are anchored to the ground

chains of steel held me down

lungs full of salt water

i tried to fight the waves and swim upshore

but they wouldn’t let me

no they wouldn’t

so if you can see me

come save me

please reach for my hand and pull me back up…”

the screen turned black signaling the end of the video. “wow.” i exclaimed in shock. i’ve always known she had a lovely voice. but this? i’m lost for words.

“what’s that?” i jumped in surprise. i looked to my left and saw the familiar silverish white mop of hair. “don’t you mean who’s that?” renjun said.

“ahh…luna noona.” jisung nodded in acknowledgment.

“tsk tsk.” haechan clicked his tongue in disapproval. “why don’t you just approach her?”

“hyung you know he’d rather eat a spoonful of ketchup than talk to a pretty girl.” chenle laughed.

“i’m going to!” i said in defense.

“when?” jaemin asked.

“i said i’m going to!” a chorus of laughter echoed in the room.

i first saw her while i was going through videos of people covering my song, child. her small smile on the thumbnail caught my attention. she was hunched over her guitar. her dark hair was roughly tied into a ponytail, a few stray strands covering her face. but even then, i could tell that she was absolutely beautiful.

the next thing i new, i was watching all her videos and stalking both her twitter and instagram. my finger hovered the screen, accidentally clicking the follow button. good thing i was using my private account, or else the press would have a field day.

i found myself waiting every saturday for her new upload on youtube. during my free time, i would watch her instagram live as she narrates her day. her eyes would shine brightly as she talks about the most random stuff, like how her pet dog bit her in the butt when she was younger, so she bit it back.

as andrew garfield said, she was like a shot of espresso—and i’ve just become highly addicted to caffeine.

[7:17 pm] “drum roll please!”, i let out a soft giggle while tapping my fingers against the wooden table in front of me. i closed my eyes dramatically as i flipped the photocard, showing it off in front of the camera. i opened one eye to take a small peak.

black hair styled perfectly into a comma shape. piercing black eyes. fake piercing beside his left eyebrow. intricate designs in his stage outfit.

before i can stop myself, a high pitched unfeminine noise escaped my mouth. “MARK LEEEEEE!” my eyes widened in surprise. i excitedly waved the piece of paper in front of my phone.

“luna i’ll give you my firstborn son in exchange of mark’s pc.” i read the comment on screen. “dude do you know how expensive it is to raise a child?!” i exclaimed.

“have you seen his recent bbl post—no i haven’t. do i look like someone who’s willing to pay for good morning messages when i can get it from my bitches for free?” i joked around.

“what bitches?” i read another comment. “rude!”

“luna you literally buy papers with his face—stop calling me out guys!”

i glanced at the clock in front of me. shit. i was so caught up with unboxing this album that i didn’t notice the time. “oh my god i have to go! i have to turn in my paper later and yes i chose to open my album before proofreading it. priorities, right?” i sent a playful wink.

“byeeeee!” i blew a kiss at the screen.

okay, back to reality. i stretched my arms for good measure before reaching out at my laptop, and started typing.

@lunalovesyou tweeted: AYOOOOOO i pulled mark and got a perfect score on an essay i wrote twenty minutes before deadline <3

@lunaluvers replied: i’ll give u my mark pc if u’ll write my essay for me

@lunalovesyou replied: when is it due? JK JK

@lunalovesyou tweeted: GUYS STOP DMING ME I WONT WRITE YOUR ESSAYS FOR YOU 😭

@lunalovesyou tweeted: GO PUT DOWN YOUR PHONE AND STUDY!!!!!!!!!!

[10:38 pm] “hyung, what’s so funny?” the sudden interruption caught me off guard as i fell flat off my face.

“nothing! nothing!” i shook my head and slipped my phone in my pocket. the sudden noise got everyone’s attention. all eyes were on me as i helped myself sit back up on the chair.

haechan’s loud laugh echoed in our training room. “are you okay?” he asked me soon after.

before i could reply back our choreographer entered the room. i gave him a thumbs up before going into position.

“from the top okay? 1, 2, 3!”
