Sunghoon POV
I sit down on the cold, hard wooden chair. I sigh. What do I do now? My life is so boring. I don't have anything to do around the house. I have my sister, sure. But not really. My sister, Heejae, actually has friends. So she goes out with them every chance she gets. All i do? I study. Thats what I do. I study, study and study.
My life, Its a constant cycle. I Wake up, eat, sleep. Its always the same thing, every single day. Im not going to lie. Im tired,
so tired.
I'm deep into my thoughts until I hear a knock on the door. "Mom?" I look at my mom, shes holding a black notebook. "Sunghoon-ah, your dad accidentally ordered too many notebooks. He doesn't want it to go to waste. Here, have one." My mom hands me the semi-thick notebook. "You can use it as a diary, or a journal!! Whatever you please, son." My mother smiles warmly.
Finally, something to make my life interesting.
My mom walks out of the room.
What do I write in this thing??
Was my first thought. As I said, my life is already so boring. What could I possibly write in this?? I sigh.
"Sunghoon, you have homework to do. Focus on your stupid notebook later" I tell myself.
I sigh, I open up my email.
God, I hate this.
I scroll through my email, and I see an email from my teacher.
Hello students 👋
It's Mr. Bae! For today's homework, you have to answer the Science worksheet 2, 3, and 4. Also, please answer the last question in the Science book. I expect all of you to hand it to me directly on my table, by 2:00 pm TOMORROW. Have a good night, students!!
What the actual fuck.
"THIS IS SO MUCH?" I exclimate. Each worksheet is like what?? 30 questions? I'm not going to finish this, there's no way. I lift up my wrist to check my watch. 6:25pm. "Might as well start now." I click my pen.
"ANDD..DONE!" I smile out of relif. I take a peek at my watch. "Wow..10:00pm?" I say in shock. At least I'm done. honestly, I just want to go to sleep.
I get out of the chair. My thighs are so numb.
I walk over to my bathroom. I wash my hands and brush my teeth. "Should I take a shower?" I debate. "Yes you should." I tell myself. I take off my clothes and hop in the shower.
The warm water falls onto my body. The only time I'm actually happy, is when I'm in the shower. I dont think about anything, just scrubbing my hair and letting the water fall down my legs.
I get a towel and dry my hair and body. I wrap the towel around my waist before walking out of the bathroom. I walk over to my closet and get matching plaid pajamas. I put it on and finally plop into my bed.
I stare at the ceiling, in silence. Not even thinking about anything, I'm just...staring. Until I remember the notebook my mom gave me. I reach over to my table, I grab the notebook.
"Im gonna write in it" I tell myself. "What do I write tho?" My thoughts continue.
Dear...
"Should I do dear diary? No, that's too...cliché" I think for a moment. "I'll just name it..." I look around my room. I see a pack of Oreo's sitting on my desk. "I'll name it Oreo. Hi Oreo!" I smile. "Ew, no I'm not doing that." I widen my eyes in disgust, why would I even think of that.. "I'll just do my lucky number" I sigh.
Dear 02,
I'm gonna be honest with you, 02. I really don't know what to write here... Ill just write about how boring my life is. My life, is like a hamster wheel. Thats a weird methaphor, but it works! It keeps going and going, and the hamster eventually gets tired. That's my life! The wheel is my life, and the hamster is me. It's human right? To get tired of life. I'm only so young. Im graduating high school and I hate my life. How sad is that.. 02, you'll be the one to know my deepest darkest secrets. So you should never leave me, okay! ...What am I thinking, you're a notebook. How are you going to leave me? Well, unless I lose you. Then thats my bad. I'm getting sleepy now, 02. I'll write in u tomorrow. Goodnight <3

I smile after drawing the little doggie. I love dogs, especially my actual dog. Gaeul. I rant to her almost every day. I know, I know, She's a dog. But what choice do I have?
I yawn, im getting sleepy. I get under the covers, and start to get comfortable. I close my eyes,
and fall asleep.
