Year 22
17 July

My side felt as if it was going to split open from the pain.
Sweat dripped from my body.

The hiding place.
In the railway.
Behind the corner store.
Underneath the overpass.
I went to all those places, but I couldn't find the kid.

I ran to the bus stop and waited for the kid there, but there was no one in sight. People looked my way warily.
What had happened?

We hadn't promised to meet today, but it was still strange the kid hadn't pitched. She always pitched up somewhere and tailed me around the place.
I'd say she was annoying for following me, but it was useless.
Everywhere I'd been with the kid I looked, but with no success.

I stopped walking as I came across the wall we'd done our first graffiti artwork together on. 
A big red 'X' covered the art.
It had no style to speak of.
A passerby would never be able to tell who has drawn the 'X'.
It was simple.
Common.
But I knew it was her.
She was the only one who'd do that.

The art held certain stories, presented as pictures superimposed on each other.
Symbolic, you could say.

The way they laughed the day I lay on the railway and hurt my head.
The way they helped me after I fell.
The expression their faces held as I stood their bread to cease my hunger.
The way their expressions grew dim as we passed family portrait stores.
The way their eyes followed students walking by.

"If things become hard, don't suffer in silence. Tell me."
I'd said this to her as we'd graffitied the wall.

The 'X' now cancelled all of our memories.
It's as if that 'X' proclaimed our experiences were now fake.
It felt like they were saying everything was a lie.

I curled my hand into a tight fist of anger.
Why?
There wouldn't be an answer for me this time, of course.

I walked away from the wall.
From our memories.
Form our lives.

I was now alone.
She was alone.
We were now both alone again.

Kim Taehyung, stop killing us here!
You can't just leave us on a cliffhanger like this!

Until the next album I guess...
Unless Jimin's notes will help explain the rest of the story to us!
Anticipate Jimin's notes!
I'll be posting his soon💓
