seunghyun grabbed out his diary, flipping through the entries to find a new, fresh blank page. he grabbed the pen from the drawer and began writing onto the paper, the ink flowing smoothly as he wrote.

SEUNGHYUN'S DIARY

date: xx—xx—xx

you told me you were leaving
because i smoked cigarettes
i stopped smoking in fear
of losing you forever
i went by your house to tell
you that i broke my bad habit
i saw you pressing your lips
against someone new
my walk home was lonely
and the only thing pressed
to my lips
was a cigarette

page 187

tears began to fill the whole page and the pen that was once in his hands had dropped onto the desk from shaking too much. eventually, the silent crying had now turned into loud sobs. the best thing that helped seunghyun cool down was now in his mouth. the bitter feeling whenever he inhaled but relieving feeling when he exhaled. you guessed it, a cigarette.
