BTS HYYH Notes (Book 1, 2, BUS Game) // COMPLETE [Part 2]

2022, Aug 12 - Seokjin (Handing My Abeoji's Bad Deeds)

[Place: newspaper company]

I walked into the meeting room of the newspaper company. The reporter I'd talked to on the phone shook my hand.

"It's inevitable that you'll be followed by reporters once the news gets out."

I nodded and took out the documents from my bag. "This proves that my abeoji kickbacks from Youngjin Engineering & Construction." I handed them to him. "And this is a record of what they went through to get the redevelopment committee head's request to my abeoji and to get the mayor of Songju expedite the plan."

After perusing the document, the reporter asked, "Do you mean to release all these?"

I nodded. Tensed up, I tightened my fists.

The interview lasted a long time. At the end of it, the reporter asked me, "You must have a reason for disclosing all these---."

I couldn't come up with an answer. It had nothing to do with justice or conviction. I wasn't doing it to help someone. I thought about the endless time loops and moments of despair. There was no way I could convey all that. If there was one reason, I was doing it for myself.

Finally, I said, "I am ready. All the errors and mistakes can't be undone, but the first stage of making things right again will be to acknowledge my errors. To do that, I shouldn't run away or hide."

What I said was a spell I was telling myself. A spell to remind myself that I'd do my very best to face head-on what was about to come.
