Entry 2

✎ His name is Kim Namjoon. He's really tall. He's really handsome. He has a beautiful smile. He has dimples. We met in a park. His eyes shine like a million stars. His hands are soft. He's gentle.

[Her]
I look up at the boy standing in front of me.

He's really tall. He's really handsome.

I smile. I smile up at him. "You're Kim Namjoon."

He smiles back. Yes, he has a beautiful smile. He has dimples.

I wish my smile was as nice as his. I wish I had dimples.

"Yes. I'm Kim Namjoon," he says. He looks tired.

I drop my smile. "Are you okay?"

He doesn't answer. He looks sad.

He smells like soap, with a hint of sandalwood. He smells like the outdoors, in the middle of a lush forest where it just recently rained.

"Some people tell me to stay away from you."

I blink at him. "If they're telling you to stay away, why are you here?"

He laughs. It's as beautiful as his smile. It sounds like music. I want to hear him laugh more.

"That's a good question isn't it?" He says softly. "Why am I here?" He runs a hand through his hair.

I look down at my notebook. His hands are soft. How do I know what his hands feel like?

"Do you want me to stay away from you?" He asks quietly.

I look up at him. His gaze is gentle. It's intense but it's gentle. Is that even possible?

Then he says my name. I like the way my name sounds on his lips.

I want to hear him laugh more. I want to hear my name on his lips more.

But that's impossible. Because I don't have a tomorrow. I wish I had a tomorrow. I can only wish.

"No," I tell him. "I don't want you to stay away."

I can only wish

He smiles. He's sad. I don't want him to be sad. How do I make sadness go away?
