Three knocks.
Yoongi hears.
He stands.
He opens.
He sees.
Worst Hair.
Autumn Red.
Used to have.
Crescent smile.
Used to have.
Rose skin.
Used to have.
One innocent boy.
Used to love.
(Lie.)
One heart.
Used to beat.
One soul.
Used to have.
Lying.
Telling
Loving.
Begging.
But he closes.
He closes.
And steps away.
With his heart.
His mind.
His soul.
He steps back.
And back.
And back.
One knock.
Two.
Three.
Five.
And then banging.
Lots.
And.
Lots.
Of.
Banging.
Loud.
Harsh.
Desperate.
And then silence.
Silence.
Silence.
"I love you."
The boy says.
He hears.
(He doesn't.)
"I love you."
The boy repeats.
He hears.
(He doesn't.)
(He wants.)
(He can't.)
He ignores.
He hides.
From the reality.
The reality.
Reality.
Gone.
Gone.
Gone.
"I love you."
He says.
"I love you."
He acts.
"So please come back."
He acts.
"Stay with me."
He acts.
"I know you'll come back."
He lies.
"You'll come back."
He tells.
"I need you."
He loves.
"Come back. Please."
"Please."
He begs.
As he stares.
And stares.
And stares.
At the frame.
With a black ribbon.
At. The. Top. Right.
Right.
Smiling.
Laughing.
He looks happy.
So happy.
So
Damn
Happy.
Jimin.
Park Jimin.
The Park Jimin.
His Park Jimin.
"Come back."
He says.
"Come back."
He repeats.
"I love you."
A whisper.
A hush.
A voice.
And then.
Silence.
Note: Picture frames with black ribbon at the top right are mourning frames for the dead.
