Spring had sprung without warning for him. He couldn't wrap his mind that a season was ending, and a new one was beginning. For once, he didn't want to stop time, or fast forward to an end. He wanted to enjoy the calm moments during their promotions, which unsurprisingly was incredibly rare for him and the members. After their manager informed them that there was a lull in their schedule, @lgcxjasper and him had agreed to find the closest park and enjoy the cherry blossom trees during the peak of its blooming period.
"I'm tempted to rent out bikes..." He confesses with a soft laugh when a couple flies by the pair in a tandem bike. "Just not that one. I feel like I lack the coordination for that bike." He could see the activity to be either a bonding experience, or a travesty. It was better the two of them didn't tempt fate and end up in an emergency room. "I brought my camera, but we should take some pictures with our phone too, right?"
what cherry had in mind when she started this project, is totally unknown, she knew she’d fail, and yet she attempted anyway. and it wasn’t just a ‘i might fail’ moment, it was a ‘i hundred percent will fail’ moment, and surprise! she failed…
cherry’s apartment still quite lacks furniture, her “couch” is still just a mattress on the floor, but there’s been improvements! cherry for example has a space to film for her youtube channel now, and her dad recently helped her buy a night stand, they just had to build it. but when they arrived home with it, he got an urgent call and had to go, so he couldn’t help, and rather than waiting, cherry attempted to do it herself.
with the biggest fail ever, cherry had to call for backup. three out of her ten fingers had bandaids on them, and somehow she had managed to throw a screw on her head, no serious wound, but now she was wearing a bandaid on her head too (to make it all better, for some reason she only had bandaids with barbie on them), and the night stand looked nothing like a night stand.
she called for backup, and when her doorbell rang she immediately ran to the door, “jasper! thank you for coming! i want to get this night stand build, but it’s not going well…"
﹫bakkkdownz jazz oppa, you did so well! i'm so happy he's getting even more chances to highlight his skills and show that he can do it all. there's a reason he can go anywhere and fill anything he needs to in the group

﹫imposibrr i wish they would stop trying to shove this guy down our throats. they want him to be the next big thing but i just don't get that spark from him. he can be a pretty face all he wants, but it doesn't stop the fact that he's just not that interesting to watch.

hyoseop wouldn’t call himself unlucky, but then again, he seems to often find himself in unlucky situations. like that one time he was stuck in a tree, or the time he ate a chili by mistake, there’s also the time he was stuck in the elevator for hours, and then there’s that one strange first encounter. he still remembers it quite clearly, the first time he met jasper the two were targets for some prank and ended up wet.
hyoseop hadn’t really spoken with the other in some time, but when hyoseop spots jasper in the cafeteria, he decides to go up and talk to the other. “hey jas-- ah!” and with that he falls, the culprit being water that has been spilled on the ground, and apparently nobody deciding to dry off the floor, so now, hyoseop is on the floor. hyoseop wonders, why is there always water included some way or another when jasper and hyoseop meet.
unfortunately, minki wouldn’t categorize himself as part of the cuter people in their group. that’s something he has come to accept and knew from the very beginning, honestly. furthermore, he doesn’t think he can pull aegyo very well—overtaken by a strong sense of embarrassment every time he tries. however, the theme for this photoshoot is cuter than what he’s used to. he gets why, given the season, it just means he has to… practice.
turning to @lgcxjasper as the two of them are facing the mirror. “i know that the photographers will give us directions to follow later on… but do you think this face can pull off cute?” he asks, trying to purse his lips and make a cute expression, like how the younger members would do. immediately, he starts laughing when he sees himself in the mirror. “wow, i can’t take myself seriously at all. what about you?”
then again, with their… body type, the two of them don’t exactly embody adorable upon first glance.
it’s been some time since i last wrote here, but i feel this entry should be entirely taken as a bookmark. i don't want to keep writing, confessing, spilling frustrations, or developing hopes and dreams. when hyukjae from the future finally opens this journal - if he remembers the password correctly - i want him to interpret it as a bookmark - it’s nothing special but it’s still remarkable.
the year is 2024 and i’m living my 23th birthday. of course, mom and dad are still together and still treating me as their most precious treasure. i cannot say i don't feel the same about them. i will always be grateful for everything they did for me, how much they risked and are still risking.
i cant say i didn’t make good friends, because then i’d be lying. rowon is still the most insufferable person i’ve ever met and sometimes i wanna punch him and destroy that pretty face but then i’d regret it and would have to apologize. he’d look at me the same way and would still make jokes. but i can’t say i don’t need him in my life because i do, i will always do.
to be able to reconnect with both tee and jinyoung, in very distinct ways just made me very proud. i missed having jinyoung back in my life and tee, well, i’m not proud of distancing myself from him, overthinking and acting wrongly but he still welcomed me back with the same smile. they both did and it was just refreshing and good. i didn’t know i needed them in my life that much but i do.
jasper is as breathtaking as he was back in london and even if we never had any reason to break things off - and we never did - i did my best to keep him close (he still tries to escape but teasing him is one of my favorite pass times i admit).
yes, hyukjae from the future, not everything went well you know. you know what still happened and you know who (not voldemort) still messed with our heads for a long time, but we did okay, you don’t have to worry, i took care of it.
there’s also max. the max thing still stings, still hurts if i think about it for too long. i know i’m being petty, just like jinyoung threw on my face, but i’m still human. he was important, i wanted to be as important to him as he was to me. but you can’t always get what you want.
or i can.
because if it weren’t for max (and he won’t probably ever know that), i wouldn’t have…parker. yes, this is the bookmark you need to keep. parker. it’s hard to explain, to define, to quote, to understand but parker happened and there’s nothing i would change, not even how things started. if we were supposed to follow some kind of screenplay, things wouldn’t have come out as great it did. he makes me smile, it’s simple like that. he makes me not want to give up on things, and makes me wanna fight.
i don’t have any wishes to make this year, i just wanna keep this date marked. bookmarked.
sori had a pretty famous dad, but there weren’t a lot of people who were aware of who her dad was. neither sori nor her brother spoke much about their dad, both of them truly loved him, but it seemed like there was more negatives than positives to let everyone know who your dad is. sori was scared people would think she only got a spot in legacy due to her dad, when truthfully she’d practiced hard by herself, her dad had nothing to do about her being a trainee. and what if when she debuted? again, she didn’t want people to think she achieved it only due to her dad.
sori was a daddy’s girl, but she also didn’t let anyone know of her dad. he had worked hard to get where he was today, and sori wanted the same, she wanted her debut to come from hard work. so she doesn’t tell people who her dad is, which makes her wonder how this person knows who her dad is. “how do you know my dad is cha miso?” … “have you… have you stalked me?!”.
