October 4th, 2017:

I'd been told that Daeseong wasn't back in jail. In fact, he'd just received a warning because, and I quote, "nothing had actually happened". I was beyond bewildered. Did they only just want to act when someone had been hurt? What happened to the system protecting civilians and victims? A warning would do jack sh*t to hinder him. The lawyers were still talking with a judge, but as of now, he was supposedly back in his home, or not, who knew at this point. I don't think I would've been as confident in our stare-off had I known that he'd be let go, now I knew he probably just felt emboldened by the lack of actual repercussions. He had been telling me he would always be close because he was also testing the integrity of the system, which if he wasn't sure then, he knew now, was bust.

I refused to let it show, but I was now very scared to go anywhere outside by myself. I just couldn't trust the police to do their job because they had never given me reason to believe I could. I had also changed my number to reassure myself he couldn't have my number.

However, the release of Radio Canada's video with me and Celine Dion was quickly overtaking the Daeseong news online. People were loving the duo we made and clips of us singing were going viral not only on K-pop twitter, but Twitter as a whole. People were begging for more and Celine was texting me with some screenshots of these tweets, telling me we really needed to sing together again soon. I'd told her I was coming to the US in November and her team and Big Hit were now trying to organise something.

Finally, Jieun (IU) had texted the group chat for a get-together. Some of them had gotten together a few weeks ago, but she wanted everyone there if it was possible since it'd been so long. I felt bad, but I was just too busy preparing for everything in the upcoming months so I couldn't go. I was the only one that couldn't make it, which made me even guiltier.

Jiyong: You can't even make it later?

Hara: Yeah, you don't have to be there for the whole thing, we just want to see you 🙁

Hara: It's been so long...

Jonghyun: I can come pick you up if that makes it easier

Taeyeon: We need our maknae 😫

I was seeing their texts pop up as we were in a meeting about our BT21 characters. They had nearly finalized them and wanted our opinions on it. Seokjin had made an alpaca character, Yoongi a cookie, Hoseok a horse, Namjoon a koala, Jimin a yellow dog, Taehyung a heart-shaped headed alien type character, and Jungkook a buff bunny. They each had their colours as well. I had created a short, slightly chubby colourful dragon, though her primary colour was green she had mixes of pink and purple with a light-yellow stomach. I'd named her Sunny after Queen Seondeok who I had almost been named after and who was overall known as a wise and kind human being, everything I achieved to be.
