BTS SMERALDO THE NOTES 1 (Edited & Translated)

Seokjin: 2 May Year 22

The Thing With Wings
Part 4

Its not something you can do alone. I remember Namjoon telling me this.

I realized that Jungkook and Yoongi had the same look in their eyes when Namjoon said, Jungkook still has that photo. The photo we took together on the beach in high school.

Namjoon wanted me to know that Jungkook kept me in his thoughts. But I was reminded of something completely different when I laid eyes on that photo.

On the day we went looking for that stupid rock, the one that could supposedly grant our wishes, we laughed, complained and played under the heat of the sun. And, devastated at finding that the rock had been demolished into small pebbles, I cried out my wishes to the ocean. I couldnt even hear what Id cried out that day.

I remember seeing Jungkook yell out a question to Yoongi. I couldnt hear what he was saying, but I could sense that the question was important for Jungkook to ask.

But why did he ask Yoongi? Why him? I hadnt given it a second thought back then.

Yoongi wasnt as lively as Hoseok, not as friendly as Jimin, and not as reliable as Namjoon. Why was it Yoongi?

But then againYoongi was the one who saved Jungkook. The two shared that same empty, lost look in their eyes.

It wasnt difficult to send Jungkook to Yoongi. Jungkook was alone at school and at home. He had nowhere to go after school. He usually spent his time at Hoseoks burger joint or wandered to Namjoons container and back again.

I locked the container door and made Hoseok leave the store before Jungkook dropped by. After roaming around for quite a while, Jungkook finally headed towards Yoongis workroom.

He seemed to have mixed feelings. Should I go in? what if he thinks Im annoying? Those sorts of questions may have crossed his mind, expectation and fear crossing his expressions. Since I made that change, Jungkook went to Yoongis workroom every day.

At first, Yoongi told him to go away. But Jungkook could see that Yoongi didnt really mean it.

I watched from afar and dodged lower into the car seat as Jungkook passed by. They didnt know I was back yet. Namjoon knew, and said that everyone would be thrilled to see me again. I didnt want to meet them all again just yet. I was waiting for the right moment. I had to wait until all of them were together before I met up with them.

Maybe we were tied up together with strings, supporting one another.
