"It's a long way from I to U. Fuck, JKLMNOPQRST. I crossed all the letters and I reached you."

Growing up as a kid who drowned himself in books and studied day and night nonstop meant that my life was filled with all kinds of stress and hardships, even at a very young age. But even then, I loved learning and reading all the books given to me because I was a child who had fallen in love with the words and letters of a page in a book.

It was my first love, the words and letters from a book, a paper, or a screen. I was in love with the rhythms, the repetitions, and the message those words brought to me and the world. Since then, I wanted to write to, taking out all of the words in my head through a piece of pen and paper and that addiction to writing turned into songs. Writing sentences that rhymed and, when spoken, the words became music with the right beats and tone. Writing songs and rap lyrics became an essential part of my life that brought me to the underground scene, and being an underground rapper was one of the things that Yoongi Hyung and I could relate to each other.

Finding out that Yoongi Hyung was an underground rapper such as myself made me admire him even more, just as I envied him when I still saw him as a competition back when we were still trainees. But as I grew to know Yoongi Hyung even more as the months and years went by, I realized that I slowly began to fall in love with the words that spilled from his lips and rolled out of his tongue, his flow, the way his body moved as he raps, the way he looks ethereal without even doing anything as he wrote lyrics for our songs. I fell in love with his music and pieces until I realized I had fallen for the man himself.

I have fallen for Min Yoongi too deep, yet I made no plans of climbing back up from the deep and warm abyss that I have fallen into.

(Yeah yeah)

Is this love

Is this love

Sometimes I know

Sometimes I don't

The next lyrics, um

What should I write, um

Too many words circle around me

But none of them feel how I feel

I just feel it

Love is a trivial thing. It is a concept that man has come to know over the centuries that went by, and they figured out that there was this powerful yet dangerous feeling that they named love. There are many words that can describe this intense emotion, and while sometimes I do know what it means, there are times that I don't.

My love for Yoongi Hyung is challenging to put into words. As a person who would seem like a dictionary for most people, all the words in my mind seem to vanish when it comes to the man I love. If I were to write a song for him, I would have a hard time because of all the words that circle around me, trying to spill out of my head and onto the blank paper. But none of them know how I feel; they cannot describe how I feel for him.
