[BTS: Love Yourself Series] MinYoongi x Save Me

Chapter 30: AGUST D or Min Yoongi

8.42 p.m., 16 August 2016

AGUST D. On the 15 August, BIGHIT quietly dropped two music videos AGUST D and Give it to me from Yoongi's mixtape on Youtube. Subsequently, another 8 songs were all released on SoundCloud. All the ARMYs were caught off guard by that silent release, and everyone started streaming it. 

I'm on the train from Busan back to Seoul. I have been playing on loop of Yoongi's; no, AGUST D's mixtape. 3 songs, in particular, left the deepest impression on me. I remembered clearly, that the last song So Far Away 's backtrack is the one that Yoongi shared during the trip back from Kobe. Tears are flowing down my cheeks. Despite all the pain that depression brought him, he still believes that DREAM never betrays and never should one give up. Not him.

Interlude; Dream, Reality. Despite only one word Dream in the entire song. But the music progression speaks a story.

The First Dream; is the small boy who lost his way

The Second Dream; is the youth who is searching his way

The Third Dream; is the countryside young man who tripping through the bumpy way

The Fourth Dream; is the Gloss who has comrades walking together on his way

The Fifth Dream; is the Min Yoongi who lost himself through the way

The Last Dream; is the Bulletproof Scout's SUGA who found his calling and his way

The Last. AGUST D narrates the darkest memories. The gradual progression of the song tells the listener that AGUST D is eroding Min Yoongi away. The last person standing ... is it still Yoongi?

After hours of streaming, my phone battery is finally dead. I still have another 45 minutes to reach Seoul station. I wonder what is Yoongi doing right now?

9.52 p.m. 

I'm finally reaching home soon. The trip was so exhausting, I need to have a good rest. I press the pin numbers of the apartment and step inside. 

I let off a scream when I saw a man (I couldn't see the face though) scavaging my refrigerator.

The person stood up quickly after my scream. 

🐱Yoongi: It's me. I'm just a little hungry after waiting.

I almost couldn't recognize it's Yoongi. He has dyed his hair to blonde again. Yet, unlike the past, the look he has now made me feel kinda distanced to him. He is AGUST D.
