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

2022, Apr 25 - Jungkook (New School & A Walk With Taehyung Hyung)

(A/N: Loop #1)

[Place: New school]

Male student (MS): Hey, are we going through classes in groups today?

Female student (FS): I think it was 2 to a group?

MS: Then there's one person left out? Our class has an odd number of people now.

Eommeoni says she likes the dormitory at this school. Maybe she feels more comfortable now that I'm not there at home.

I'm the same as always. School, home, the dorms. I still don't belong in any of these places.

Teacher: There's one left out even though we're doing group work? Then one group will have three people. Which one do you want to go to, Jungkook?

Where do I want to go...

"Jungkook-ah, let's all go to the ocean."

I want to go...

[Place: Road]

I looked up when someone put his arm around my shoulder. "Do you go up to the high places these days?" Taehyung hyung asked.

Startled, I looked around. I was always alone after school, and as always, I was walking with my head down.

"What do you mean?"

He pointed to the construction site and said, "Don't go to a place like that there. Especially at night. Got it?"

I stayed quiet and walked in the middle of the street, crowded with students. Hyung threw sidelong glances and said, "This place sure has changed a lot. But that's still here."

I glanced at him. High places? Why had he asked me that? Had he heard it from someone? I hadn't told anyone, but I had been go up high places.

I rode down by the Yangji Stream as fast as I could on a bicycle, or, sometimes I started a fight with thugs on the street for no reason and got beat up. There were dangerous moments. I could've fallen down, or, worse, fallen into the stream. But I couldn't stop doing it.

When I met the others again, they all seemed changed. The only one still in school uniform was me. They must've thought of me as a kid still. So when I was around them, I just listened. Which I was fine with and was irritated by at the same time. I felt out of place and happy too.

"Where you headed?" Taehyung hyung asked me.

"Yoongi hyung's workroom."

Hearing my answer, he looked at me as if it was unexpected. "Really? Aren't you scared of Yoongi hyung? He is quite, and when you ask him to do stuff, he says he doesn't want to bother and just goes off."

Hyung suddenly remembered something and pulled me aside and asked, "Does he still click his lighter?"
