It's almost that time of the year again so I wanted to share a Jonghyun related experience I had in 2022.
I usually follow these Twitter pages that commemorate things he did on certain days. So on April 30th, I saw this photo and proclaimed. I want this jacket because I loved it so much.
So I saved it on my phone. Notice the date.

Then I started searching for this item on the internet but couldn't find it at all. So I gave up. Then for some reason, a thought came to me about the SHINY FOUNDATION fundraiser. So I went there to see what had been posted. I visited it on May 4th and nothing interested me. Then a thought came to me again the next day to visit the site and lo and behold guess what was on auction!!!!
At first I thought the picture had been posted because the foundation may have made this item public before April 30th. But nope, I didn't see it. So I was so excited. So I bid on it. And then someone bid. I was losing to someone. else. Then I sat there just watching my dream item fly away.
Then I heard this thought CLEAR AS DAY, I kid you not, to bid a certain number. So I am nodding like "okay , I'll do that" lol. So I posted that amount. Normally you can't bid too high. It has to be within a certain range. Anyway so I waited for hours hoping that no one else bids hogher that me. I went to bed. I woke up hours later with an email that I had won the bid. OMG. I was over the moon y'all.
Ok. The package shipped closer to the SHINee debut anniversary. Then for some reason after my package arrived in Chicago customs, we lost trace of it. I'm here calling the post office etc. So the post office told me to have an investigation launched in order to find the package. And they did. It arrived a few days after they located it. Chicago is notorious for delaying freight but this was no trace at all. So the item arrived. It was beautifully packaged. I was so nervous opening it until I cut my palm with the scissors I had been using lol.
Anyway I was so happy. I tried it on. It was a nice sunny afternoon. I said out loud. I can't wait to wear this during rainy season. I received it on June 1st. June is the hottest month of the year for us. And the best thing happened guys. The weather changed from sunshine to rain within 1 and half hours of me receiving this item. It rained for 25 minutes lol. So I put it on and went outside in the rain just taking in the moment. It was great So that's my Jonghyun story for 2022.
