"Seokjin Hyung, can't you talk to your father? You know what that orphanage means to me. That place is my home. All the kids there won't have a place to call home if they decide to redevelop that area. Cant they leave the orphanage out of this?"

That's what I said the moment I got into namjoon's compartment. I couldn't help it. Everyone started at me, stunned.

Seokjin's face remained void of any emotion. I held back my tears as I looked at him. He stared back at me as if I was nothing. It only made the hurt worse.

"It's already been decided. There's nothing I can do," Seokjin finally answered.

Each word sunk into me slowly as I processed what he'd just said. There was a wall between Seokjin and I now. Those words created that wall.

Seokjin belonged to a world full of decisiveness while I was from a world where I couldn't change the decisions others had made.

I thought Seokjin Hyung was my friend. But now, it seemed impossible to be friends with him when he was so different from me. We came from two very different worlds.

After his words sunk in and I snapped out of it, I got angry. I shouted at him.

"How can you be like this?"

"Please just help me!"

But I already knew that my words could do nothing.

To be honest, that anger wasn't ever directed to Seokjin Hyung. Instead, I was angry at myself. After all, I was the one who couldn't do anything. I was the one who was nothing.
