“It looks amazing, doesn’t it?” Yunho asked me all of a sudden, smiling a bit.

We had been driving for about half an hour now, and even in my horrible situation, I still can’t help but look at all the sites flashing by the window.

I nodded sheepishly. “I’ve never seen anything like it before. Tokyo is just… wow. I mean, I’ve never been out of my country before, and even if it ever did happen, I never imagined it would be anything like this situation... but still, Tokyo’s too beautiful and exhilarating to not be amazed with.”

Yunho nodded thoughtfully, then asked, “You’ve never been to another country before?”

I shook my head. “Never. I didn’t think it was ever gonna happen, actually.”

“Why is that?” Junsu, who as sitting opposite me and beside Yoochun, asked curiously.

“Er… I’m really and seriously terrified of heights,” I admitted. “I can’t imagine that being on a plane will be a good thing for me.”

“Really?” Changmin smirked, turning from his seat in front to look back at us. “We have the rest of the week off, I’m sure we can take you on a plane a fair few times.”

The other four members sighed at him. I was glaring and was just about to snap back again, but I tried to control my temper. “I don’t think that’s possible. I don’t have a visa, not even a passport. So you can’t take me anywhere by plane,” I replied coolly.

“And you’re forgetting that we’re Dong Bang Shin Ki,” Changmin shrugged. “We can make arrangements. We’ll have you on a plane somehow.”

That made me lose my temper again. “Are you deaf? Didn’t you just hear that I said I’m terrified of heights?” I didn’t care if I was being rude, I didn’t care if he was one of the most famous persons in Asia. I knew he was baiting my anger on purpose, but I just couldn’t help but take the bait.

“Yes, I did, and that’s exactly why I’m suggesting it,” Changmin said cockily to me.

“Oh, shut up, you dolt,” Yoochun said, reaching over to hit him on the head.

“Hyung!” Changmin complained.

I don’t know what Yoochun said, but I liked how he hit the jerk on the head. I liked it a lot, in fact.

Ignoring Changmin, who was still grumbling under his breath, I turned to the other four who was sitting with me at the back. “So, you gu

Chapter 1: Every time I miss them and yearn to be within this casual intimate space with them, I come back to this story. Every time I ask myself unanswerable questions or think of what-ifs and how different the future could've been, I come back to this story.

I wasn't sure about reading this story at first, as I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that everything the boys have experienced - good or bad - has helped them grow and mature into who and what they are today, as different as they might be in the story. They each paved their path with their efforts and hard work. They all grew a lot, learned a lot, and made many amazing achievements and precious memories. The things they did, the music they made, and the experiences they gained in those ten years apart are all equally precious, and I honestly wouldn't trade them for an alternate reality.

That's why I treasure their present as much as their past. Their past will always be precious - to them and us - no matter how much time passes or things change. If they ever have a future together, that day will be the happiest in Cassiopeia's history. Until that day comes, I will treasure every day they spend growing and doing their best in what they love. I'm grateful enough that they exist in this world in my lifetime.

Yet there are days when I wish this story was real and yearn for any interactions between the five with all my being. On such days, every DB5K song, video, and picture just makes me cry and scream WHY.

It's even worse when I read this story set in 2014 and realize that barely anything has changed five years later. Instead, we now yearn to see JYJ interactions just like we always did with DB5K. It's so painful and frustrating. It's naive to think it'll ever get less hard and sad to remember after many years. That's because no matter how much time passes, they'll never be less precious in our hearts.

Being part of Cassiopeia is not easy. Our boys are separated and experience many hardships, and our fandom is equally split, messy, and toxic as a result. There's a lot we need to endure, wait for, and persevere through as fans. But the boys honestly make anything and everything worth it. They're the reason we're all still here going strong 15 years later. We still empty merchandise and album shelves and increase votes and views. We still sell out tickets and fill venues. We're still a shining pearl red ocean. We're still keeping the faith and finding happiness and inspiration in our boys. We honestly couldn't be more blessed.
