➵ kim eunjiㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyou were a fallen angel, yoongi. a hurt, broken, fallen angel.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyou saved me after you murdered my brother.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤironic, isn't it?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyou saved me, but took away someone who saved me, too.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤi longed to feel numb.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤthanks to you, i finally am.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤwhat's there to feel about anymore?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤi sat on your bench again, yoongi.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤi'm sorry that i did.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤi hoped you would be there, but i remembered that you were somewhere else.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤmy aunt said you're a bad person.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤi don't fully think you are.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤmaybe it's just my conscience speaking.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyou're bad for stopping me from reuniting with my brother.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤbut you're good for saving me.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyou're good for letting me cry to you like my brother, namjoon, lets me cry to him.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤbut you're bad for killing him.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤwhy did you kill him, yoongi? my brother was a good man.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤat least, that's what i thought. did he do something wrong to you?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhe wouldn't do anything wrong, right?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyou said you loved me, yoongi.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤdid you really? we only saw each other a few times.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤwhat did you see in me?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyou didn't know what feelings were when we first met.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤbut then you said you loved me.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤdid a deity switch our feelings now?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ'cause i saw you crying in your jail cell, while i watched you with no trace of emotion in my body.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"eunji-ah." a voice called from behind me. i looked up from the river and saw that the voice belonged to kim taehyung; a friend who was there for me.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"what an odd place you chose to meet up." he commented on your spot.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤthe leaves that fell from the branches high above us turned dark and dry, and the flowers in my palm were pink yet so dull.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤthe bench also changed; it looked different than the last one we sat on when we first met.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"it's a special place." i stood up from the bench and walked away with him.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyou were special, yoongi.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyou did something good again.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyou taught me to be numb.
