Dear Seokjin,
You don't look any different.
My muse. Standing right there. In front of me.
You look the same.

It's been ages. Months. Maybe half a year, maybe even a whole year.
I can't remember at this point.

Tears flood my eyes and suddenly
My vision is clouded again.

"I'd been looking all over for you, Jimin. Everywhere."

Everywhere isn't good enough. I told you this.

"You have to believe me. I know you came to visit me, when I was sick. I know you left me messages and calls, I know all of these things. I know and I never stopped caring."

But that makes no sense. You were supposed to answer me if you cared about me. I cared so much about you, poured my heart and soul into loving you, even when I didn't know whether you were even alive or not. I don't even know what illness you had, what surgery you had or anything. You insist that it's your little secret but that you're better now.

"Come on... Please. I had been searching for you, I wanted to reply but I couldn't."

But why? I thought you cared?

"I... I was nervous. I was too scared. I didn't know what to say, what to tell you."

"Do you think that's a good enough excuse?"

"It's not an excuse but it's an answer. If you don't like my answer then I don't know what else I can say."

I scanned your face in search for some kind of sign. Some kind of proof that you actually still like me. You asked me, what do you want me to do? I told you that first I needed my tea.

"Jimin. Please listen to me. Why can't you hear me out? I'd been looking everywhere for you."

"And why would you bother doing that?"

"Because... I love you, Park Jimin."
