BTS: HYYH The Notes (Complete ENG)

Taehyung

25 June Year 22

I purposely slowed my footsteps and perked my ears up at the small sense that someone was walking behind me. Today was the third time we met since the day at the convenience store. If there was something that was different, it was that today she had run away as soon as she saw me. Then she had hung around in a small vacant lot at the back of the store, but as soon as I appeared she hid again. She had hidden herself well but her shadow was reaching far towards the front of the abandoned lot. I chuckled. I passed by, pretending not to see her, but then she started to follow me.

I entered a narrow alley. This was the only place in our neighborhood where the streetlamps weren't broken. The alley was long and the streetlamp was located somewhere in the middle. When the source of light is ahead, the shadow stretches behind. So now my shadow was stretching out behind me. It could have been stretching all the way to the feet of the person who was following me with a bated breath. As I passed beneath the streetlamp, my shadow disappeared beneath my feet. I started walking a little faster. Not long after, a shadow that wasn't mine appeared on the cement road. I stopped my steps, and the presence behind me stopped too. The two shadows of different heights stopped side by side.

I spoke, "I'm going to wait until you come here." The shadow jumped. Then it held still as if to say it wasn't there, "I can see everything." I pointed out the shadow. Then the sound of footsteps started to grow nearer, purposefully noisy. I laughed.
