An acorn fell on a sad boy's head

"Ouch." he spoke, and wished he was dead

Where was his day going? It could not get worse

Then smiling so sweetly, he lifted the curse

"Such beauty." he thought of the fallen nut

He snapped himself out of his rut

The boy never noticed the tiny cut

As he became the boy with luv

Namjoon wasn't anything if not someone who dwelled on unimportant things; one dance move he got wrong, something he said that he shouldn't have. He wouldn't be surprised if he had spent 95% of his life all-consumed by what he didn't get right.

A message that was often conveyed to him was that he must find joy in the smaller things in life. But when a bad day was a bad day, it usually stayed that way, and with Namjoon, you could guarantee that every day was like that.

So when an acorn fell from the tree above him, landing directly on his head, it made him want to scream. "Ouch." he hissed out. Could his day get any worse? Picking up the acorn, his expression turned into a soft smile. "Such beauty." he thought, staring at it intently.

The pain almost immediately subsided, and he was snapped out of his dark thoughts, probably only momentarily. He never did notice the small cut the acorn had inflicted on his scalp; a cut that eventually faded away just as they all did.

And finally, even if it was only for today, Namjoon realized what people meant when they said he should appreciate the small things - all because of a fallen acorn.
