Track 07

Chapter Five

465 songs. 465. You can't believe it. How are you supposed to find the song you're looking for in a playlist with 465 songs. Some of them were only played for seconds, but still Tae's program put them on the list.

It will take ages. But you have to try. You still can't forget the short melody, even after sleeping for 6 hours. So you start looking up every single song on the list.

And you hate it. Every single one of them sounds exactly the same, it's the same base music, that doesn't touch your heart. How can these songs touch anyone's heart? You just can't understand it.

After two hours listening to the music you hate, you're about to give up, when suddenly you get a text message from your sister:

I'm sorry. I was really drunk last night, you know I liked that dog. Sorry for disrupting your night. Hope you're fine - L

She never sends text longer than necessary. That's when it hits you. You know the exact time the song was played at the club. The time you got the message from your sister. Luckily Tae's program also records the time the songs were played.

You open the chat. 3.39 am. That's when the song must've been playing. You scroll down the list. You were so far away before.

THERE. There it is. 3.40 am: Track 07. Oh Wow. You're about to start crying. Track 07. How are you gonna find that song. There are thousands of songs named Track 07. Which is just a name for when you don't have a name for your song yet. But then you read it, the small little detail on the right side of the list. Interpret: Park, Jimin. Jimin? Jimin!

Wait.. Wasn't the guy that came to you earlier that week named Jimin? This can't possibly be his track. But then why would it say it is? Maybe it's another Jimin.

You take your phone and call your boss, hoping he's not sleeping. "What?" he answers with his usual angry, smokey voice. "Hi Boss! This guy that came to you on friday, what did he give you?" "Which guy?" "This Jimin guy?" "Ah! He gave me a CD. I didn't want it and told him to give it to Taehyung. He's the DJ and hence responsible for the music. I don't care about that." So much for 'every staff member has to stand 100% behind The Bangtan'. "Thank you so much!" You smile and hang up. Your fingers faster than light, search for Tae's contact and before you know it you hear his voice:

"Y/N, what do you want?" "I FOUND THE SONG!" You're practically screaming now. "It's on the CD this Jimin guy gave to you the other day." "Oh!" He seems surprised. "That guy? Really? I only had the time to listen to this one song on the CD, I randomly clicked on one track. It was alright. That was the melody you were humming?"

"Mhm. Do you.. ehm.. do you still need the CD?" Why are you acting all shy all of a sudden? You liked the song and Tae doesn't really seem to care for the CD. "No, you can have it, if you want." You're jumping out of bed. This song has been stuck in your head for the last two days, you've been listening to horrible music for the last two hours.

You can't believe that you actually found THE song. Track 07. "When can I be at your place? Is now okay?" You're rushing to put on your jacket. "Whoa, slow down there, honey. I've still got.. company. Take your time, I guess she'll be out in.. hmm 20 minutes.." You hear a giggle in the background. "Nah, maybe 30 minutes.." Tae snickers.

Disgusting. Where does he find these giggling girls, that sleep with him, hoping he is the one? He treats them like garbage after he gets what he wants. At least he's never tried bringing you home. You would've broken his arm, if he'd tried. But you two are cool. That's why you don't rush him and say:" That's fine. You live far anyways."
