Journal entry 5,000 or whatever.

It took a lot for me to understand this.

But that night at the gala, when I locked eyes with Jeon Jeongguk, I wasn't looking for a boyfriend.

No. Not at all.

No matter how handsome he was, no matter how romantic he seemed.

I was looking for what I had lost.

Stability. Family. Friends. Love. Being loved unconditionally by someone.

Being with him helped me feel like I had somewhere to belong.

It was like my life had turned to Jenga, and the tower crumbled. Block by block I was building myself back up.

Sugar babying gave me the money I had lost. It allowed me to dream. One brick.

When I had fluidity to dream, I was able to paint. I regained my passion. Another.

Jeongguk gave me whatever else I was supposed to have. To be loved. To have a boyfriend, since the one from before left me.

His friends were my friends.

I was whole again.

But I didn't notice just how fragile the tower I had built for myself was.

How only one piece removed, could bring the rest of my life to crumble down.
