Dear Seokjin,
It's raining again. I'm running.
I'm running. No umbrella.
I never have an umbrella.
But you know this.

The lampposts outside have turned on.
The sun is setting. Not quite orange, yet.

I trip on my shoelace. I see it get all covered in mud, but for some reason I can't stop running.

I feel empty. I feel empty but somehow unstoppable.

I fumble about with the door. It's supposed to be a pull door but I always push it by accident.

If you were here you would know this.

I feel the water droplets slowly dance off my locks of hair, all down my forehead. They're having a race. Which drop of rain will make it there first?

My vision is clouded. Maybe it's just the coldness outside, but I can't feel a thing.

For some reason
I feel like you're here.
I can't see anything but
you must be here.

You must be.
I need my tea.

I run. I can feel my wet shoes sliding and squishing against the rubbery floor. It's not a pleasant sound, but it doesn't stop me.

My vision starts to clear up.
The barista turns around.
My brain can't compute it.

"Jimin? I've been looking for you everywhere."
