T Minus...A/N: I know I've written and talked about this several times before. Jealousy was always something that Jae might have to face while serving. He was well aware of it, too, hence his plea to his fans before his enlistment not to write to him. Clearly, the plea has fallen on deaf ears if this tweet from his sister is anything to go by.
Hiding in my bunk today after a very early gym session. Should try to get some extra sleep ahead of tomorrow's training, but I can't see that happening. Running the gauntlet of snide remarks and stupid orders just to go for a run or visit the library doesn't appeal either. Staying out of everyone's way seems the best idea.
Weekends - at least the few I've spent here so far - tended to be cheerful. There's banter at breakfast, lots of early workouts and then people either head outside or have visitors arriving. And even though there've been fans parked outside the gates since I got posted, nobody really minded all that much. And I can handle a few jokes.
It's different now, of course. The few waiting fans have become a crowd, it's becoming difficult for families to get through on the phone and the post… well… For most of the guys the novelty of serving with an idol has clearly worn off. Add a weekend on lockdown, with no visits, no chance to get out and a queue for the phone and tempers are starting to fray.
It was to be expected.
It's little use pointing out that I'd asked my fans not to write. I just wish they'd listened.
