TAEHYUNG:
hoseok, what made
you attempt to kill yourself?

HOSEOK:
living alone.

TAEHYUNG:
didn't you have a
roommate? at least i heard.

HOSEOK:
seokjin moved out
as soon as he got a
stable job in seoul, and
a lover.

TAEHYUNG:
ah, i see. what about
living alone made it hard
for you?

HOSEOK:
the fact that–
(silence)

TAEHYUNG:
hoseok...?
is there something wrong...?

HOSEOK:
(raised voice)
oh, no. my mind just
failed on me for a second
there.

TAEHYUNG:
oh, i see...
so, what about living alone
made it hard?

HOSEOK:
hmm...
ah, the fact that you're
all by yourself, and no
one's ever going to be
there for you. it's like a
lingering emptiness that
stays in your heart.

(scribbling)

TAEHYUNG:
okay. is there anything
that makes you feel happier,
even if for a little bit?

HOSEOK:
hmm... well, before,
i used to enjoy dancing.
it always made me feel
better. but now, i'm not
so sure...
i think collecting the beetles
from the ground and crushing
them in the kitchen is my
hobby right now. it actually makes
me happier. oh! did you know that
i collect their blood in bottles? it
looks like food coloring.

TAEHYUNG:
oh... um...
hoseok, may i use your
bathroom? i need to use it
urgently.

HOSEOK:
oh sure, it's the first
the door in the hallway.

TAEHYUNG:
thank you.
