ARK 2 BEGINNING

Dong-MIn

Dear Yi Jeong-Hui,

Even when I was reading a book I couldn't stop thinking about you, the girl who changed my life. I wanted desperately to keep my mind off of you but everything I did, you were still on my mind. 

When I ate, I would think of you. 'Jeong-Hui and I always used to eat together every day.'

When I slept, I would think of you. 'Jeong-Hui would always to text me saying goodnight before I slept.'

When I sang, I would think of you. 'Jeong-Hui would always beg me to sing for her.'

I remember when we were kids and I told you we were both going to be actors together. I'm sorry I wasn't able to go to school with you and become actors. I didn't exactly lie though, I just left and I'm sorry.

How are you, Yi Jeong-Hui? Do you still smile at people like you used to smile at me?

Are you having fun? Being an actor. I wanted to be an actor with you too but everything happened so fast and now I'm an idol. I'm sorry and I hope you're still chasing your dream. I love you still...

Some times when I move to fast I see your face and I'm filled with happiness until I find out you're not really here. I remember your jokes and how silly you were, your smile is just engraved in my mind forever. I remember your long black hair and you always looked cute when your hair was in pigtails.

I remember all the gifts you've given me, all the times you've helped me, and when you've kept me company. But do you even remember me?

Sincerely, 

Lee Dong-Min

"We have some important news to share," the manager told us in a meeting room. Merely minutes ago we were all practicing for our comeback and now Astro was lining up in a small room with the company higher-ups.

"You may sit down," the CEO told us. Together we all sat next to each other, all the while the staff watched our every move. 

"As you may now, your popularity has died down after your hiatus," my heart dropped immediately after he ended his sentence.

"Sadly, we are going to have to disband Astro," I didn't do or say anything I just sat there in shock. It was later when we were all together, did the realization finally come to me, Astro is disbanding and we can't do anything about it. 

"What are we going to do now?" Jinjin broke the silence. The six of us sat in the living room of our apartment.

"I don't know..." MJ said looking everywhere expect at us.

"I think I'm going back to Gunpo," I said everyone immediately looking at me.

"I don't want to go home right away... can I tag along?" Moonbin asked me.

"Sure," I said not expecting everyone to also tag along.

"I want to go too," Sanha raised his hand his voice still as happy as before.

"Me too," Rocky said.

"Does everyone want to go?" I asked, the group nodding rapidly. A small smile graced my lips, even when they were put with the horrible situation they still kept their heads up.


After we finished settling into our temporary apartment the members went to get food while I stayed. The house was quiet, a little too quiet for me it almost felt like my old house.

Eeriely quiet and uninviting. That's one of the reasons I always stayed at Jeong-Hui's house. Her house was the complete opposite of mine, loud and comforting. Looking back, I don't think the house was loud and comforting. I think Jeong-Hui was the one who was loud and comforting.


"We're back!" Sanha yelled holding bags of food.

"And guess who we ran into!" MJ said holding more bags. The rest of the group trailed along walking straight to the dining table to eat.

"Who did you run into?" I asked not really interested.

"That girl!... What's her name again?" Sanha said thinking really hard.

"Yi Jeong-Hui," Jinjin reminded Sanha again.

"Jeong-Hui? Where did you see her?" I asked immediately standing up finally invested in what they were discussing.

"We saw her along the sidewalk," MJ said recalling what happened. I was about to go look for her when Rocky interrupted.

"I think she went home already though," Rocky said.

"I see..." I said sitting down.

I've been having terrible writing block recently so I'm so sorry. I will push myself and hope you understand. Also, I'm 'working' (long story not going to explain) and I'm so exhausted but again I'll push through. Love you and thanks for reading! Cya! <3
