I took a deep breath and walked on stage. It's time. Today I'll admit it. I'll admit that I love owls not because they're cute, but because of Krystal. We all got in our seats and waited for the interviewer to throw questions at us. Do any of you have a special girl? Yes. Kim Jongin does. He actually has my girl. What did you guys think of your comeback? When will your next signing be? Lay, why do you like owls? There it was. The question I'm going to answer honestly this time. I smiled at the camera, and began.

"Well, back when we were trainees, I use to travel a lot," I said. "I didn't get to see my girlfriend often because of that. So everytime I went somewhere, I would go to the gift shop and pick an owl keychain or necklace for her. She loved owls. It was her favorite animal. Crazy, right? Anyways, because of that, I started collecting owls. I did it so often, it became a habit." I looked down, a little embarrassed. "I guess, holding onto the owls, are like holding onto her." I explained. There. I said it. The real reason.
