HERE LIES TAEHYUNG
HE LIVED FOR EVERYONE
SEPTEMBER 30, 2041
I'm pretty sure, once you know this story, and probably go, "How can somebody fall in love in such a short period of time? This shit is a joke."
Maybe that's true but, there's still a missing void in my heart. What could that be? What do I miss?
Maybe I was more in love with the memories than the actual person who sat right in front of me.
No. I knew I loved V with my entire being.
Sarah and I still stayed in contact with each other when I finally heard that Matt and she had broken up years ago. V, to me, was a very beautiful soul. I'm pretty sure he would have fallen for anyone who showed him some kindness and sympathy because that's what he missed.
I just happened to be that lucky person.
To this day, he'll always be in my heart, and I promise to go looking for a garden full of flowers and a little coffee house where he'd be singing to all those lost souls with his beautiful voice once I'm done.
I just realized I never got a chance to tell him the truth about me and I wonder . . . would he have still accepted me if I did?

Astra signed off the page with the broadest smile on her face. She relaxed back into her chair looking out to the dull and melancholy weather of Taiwan. She rolled her chair towards her laptop where her Twitter was open.
She was really excited.
JENNIFER ☑️
Phew, finally! The drafting of my newest book (TIME DIPLOMAT) is done, fellas!!! AHHH :")
Comments started flooding in with people crying out of nervousness, excitement, or both. Astra, now anonymously known as Jennifer, laughed lightly, looking over to the glass shelf behind her that had Taehyung's final note photo framed and the hats preserved neatly next to each other.
She nodded to herself—finally proud of what she had become. She started writing as a hobby and now, here she was—one of the best-selling authors and was about to release her fourth novel.
"Thanks to you. No one would believe this story but, I just don't want to forget it—no matter how old I become." She whispered into her phone, seeing the cute wallpaper of him she had on.
She had finally understood that there was no way she could move on from Taehyung. She'd stopped trying to.
Astra was no longer the same. Not by looks and not by heart either. Many Time Diplomats had come looking for her but, she waved them away. "I don't know anybody called Astra."
She had removed every living evidence of Astra's existence. There was just Jennifer now and she was happy with that. She missed Yeonjun and Beomgyu really bad and wanted to know how they were leading up with their life.
But, it was none of her business anymore. I have to focus on my life now.
Ding. Dong.
The doorbell sounded all around the room as she tiredly stood up, reaching for it. Opening it up, she was met with two teens—a male and a female who had admirable smiles on their faces.
"Hello, Ms Jennifer. I hope you remember us. We requested an appointment with you." The boy extended his hand for a firm shake as she returned it.
"Oh? I'm so sorry. My memory's getting so weak these days. I don't know why." Jennifer rushed inside to prepare the couch for the two to sit on comfortably.
After a while of informal chatting, Lia, the girl, picked out her notepad and her pencil and started to ask questions that Jennifer answered without hesitation. Luca, the boy next to her, nodded along and listened carefully.
"How do you feel being every young adult's favorite author?"
