BTS Map of the Soul - THE NOTES (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)

Jungkook: 24 July Year 22

"Congratulations Jungkook!". It was a banner they'd all put up on the side of Namjoon's compartment at the railroad. It was Jimin's handwriting. It was a welcoming message, but the atmosphere inside was anything but. Recently, the atmosphere around us had been tinged with anxiety whenever we all got together.

Seokjin was the first to leave, with Taehyung following closely behind him. They gave each other a fleeting glance before Seokjin got in his car and reversed. His headlights shone onto the compartment and we all sat in silence as we watched him drive off. I caught a glimpse of the car's bumper. Looked like he'd been in an accident. It was dented.

Seeing Seokjin's car like that, dented at the bumper...I was surprised I didn't feel anything when I saw it. I thought seeing something that would trigger memories from my own accident would give me terrible flashbacks, but I was shocked that I didn't feel much at all.

As I watched Seokjin's car drive away though, a memory surfaced. I remembered seeing the car's headlights as it drove towards me. The feeling I'd had upon collision, unable to breathe, swallow...it was a surreal, out of body experience. Then the fear crashed down on me, I felt a chill run through me and I thought "is this how I die?"

Seeing the dents on Seokjin's car reminded me of the dents that had been on the car after it had collided with me.

I realized I'd gotten up and watched Seokjin leave. I went back into the container and looked at the banner again "Congratulations Jungkook!"

I felt a deep pain run through my leg, the one that'd gotten injured in the accident. The Hyungs didn't notice...they'd all gone outside to talk. I had no idea what they were talking about though...
