T Minus...

A/N: This is one of the very first diary entries I wrote when I started this. Mainly because I always had it in the back of my head that Jaejoong would make a good sniper. I put it aside, because he'd only just started his boot camp training and work on the shooting range isn't something that happens in week one. Now that we all know better…


Who would have thought that I could be sniper material? My sergeant didn't. I didn't. Not until I realised that I can lose myself on the range even just practising the moves. Then, it became a possibility. Now it seems I can hit any target they tell me to. Quicker and more accurately than most of the other recruits.

Doesn't matter if I'm standing, kneeling or lying down. Doesn't matter much if the target's 100m away or 300m. Doesn't matter much if it moves, either.

Do I want to be a sniper? I have no idea. I've waved replica guns while filming. A few weeks ago I would have said that playing Hawkeye sounds cool, but now, here….this is something else. There's much more to being a sniper than shooting well. There's camouflage involved - cue the costume and makeup jokes! - and finding hiding spaces, and ignoring any discomfort and being totally still for ages until you get your shot.

According to our rifle instructor, being a sniper is a mindset, not a skill.

Rain went through sniper school, didn't he? Wish I could ask…

Chapter 93: Yeah ... I'm side eyeing Cjes's planning skills. Jae may be unhappy with all that noise but I'm super happy with what happened today.

Chapter 92: Yoochun looked really comfortable in his army duds and that pose in his crew pic .... I laugh every time I come across it.

I can imagine Jaejoong saying he's JYJ with a lovely smile and winsome air. No offense meant and taken.

Chapter 91: I'm sure Junsu will thrive in the army. I agree the brass will fight for him like crazy. Leader Shi will choreo something spectacular wearing those ugly boots.

Chapter 89: Don't worry, Jaejoong. Fans will not forget the three of you even if we can't see you next year. We will wait patiently for JYJ to reunite and make a come back.

Chapter 88: Dear sweet humble Jae. I'm sure it wasn't meaningless to that soldier.

Chapter 87: Jae looked like a shy yet cheeky kid in the show. I'm so happy to see him looking well and eating well too.
