The Things I Left Behind (Yoongi Short Story)

VII

After 2 and half years

Bumaba sa bus galing Busan si Wendy. Madaming nagbago sakanya humaba na ang kanyang buhok at kulay itim na ito. Medyo pumayat na din siya.

Naging abala sya sa loob ng dalawang taon sa meat shop ng kanilang pamilya habang sinasamahan ang kanyang Mama.

Pagkatapos magserve ng Kuya niya sa army kinailangan nitong magstay sa Seoul ng isa pang taon kaya naiwan mag isa ang kanila mama sa busan.

Bumaba siya sa bus habang bitbit ang isang bag at isang bag pack.

Pumikit siya at dinama ang hangin ng Seoul.

"Ang tagal din bago ako nakabalik dito." Bulong niya at idinilat na ang mga mata tinignan niya ang paligid. "Mukhang sa maikling panahon ang daming nangbago dito sa Seoul. Kamusta na kaya si Yura?"

Sumakay siya ng taxi para puntahan ang kaibigan. Habang nasa biyahe biglang binuksan ng driver ang radio.

♪Fall like those dry leaves
just falling without strength, my love
your heart just goes far away
I can't catch you
I can't catch you any more, any more
I can't hold onto you, yeah

Napatigil si Wendy nang marinig ang pilyar na tunog.

'Teka bakit parang narinig ko na yang tunog na yan.'

"Mukhang kababalik mo lang galing sa probinsya hija."

"Opo dalawang taon po ako sa Busan."

those fallen leaves that look so insecure
seem like they're looking at us
if I touch your hand, even if it's all at once
it seems like it'll all become crumbs
I only looked
with the autumn wind
your words and expressions that become cold at some point
I can see that our relationship is fading
an empty relationship like the autumn sky
an ambiguous difference compared to before
today of all days, the much quieter night
one leaf left clinging to a branch
it's shattering, I see the end
dead leaves becoming dried
the silence inside your aloof heart
please don't leave me
please don't leave me, crumbling dead leaves

I want the you that meets my eyes
I want the you that wants me again
please don't leave me
please don't fall
never never fall
don't go far away

baby you, girl I can't let you go
baby you, girl I can't give up on you
like those falling dry leaves
this love, like dry leaves
never never fall
it's fading

like all the dry leaves fall
like all the things I thought would last forever are leaving
you are my fifth season
even if I try to see you, I can't
look, you're still blue to me
even if the heart doesn't move, it moves by itself
lingering feelings hung out piece by piece like laundry
only crimson memories fall
from above me
even if my branch doesn't shake
they constantly fall
right, my love must fall
in order to rise
even when you're near, my two eyes
are far away, it's happening
I'm being thrown away like this
inside my memories, I become young again

Never never fall yeah
Never never fall yeah

I want the you that meets my eyes
I want the you that wants me again
please don't leave me
please don't fall
never never fall
don't go far away
