Chapter 32

I sat properly straightening my back, and turned on the serious mode inside me. I was really thrilled, about whatever was happening. The day was strange, really strange. But I forgot about everything else as I pushed them aside and put all my attention towards Yoongi. Even I forgot that one hour back and my life was at stake. Everything faded away somehow. I was eager to listen to the secret story of his. So nothing really mattered to me anymore.

He leaned his back against the wall, arms crossed in front and started speaking in a soft and deep voice, as if the rollercoaster had just started, "It all started when I was in high school. Since my childhood, I was extremely introvert and still I am. People said I'm 'unsocial', 'useless', indifferent about everything. I was even taken to psychiatrist for this, but nothing helped. That's what I was, and still I am. That's my personality after all." He laughed strangely.

"I didn't have many friends back then, except one. He was the only friend, and maybe only closest person I ever had. Also, he was the only one who could understand me only by looking at my face. He always supported me and helped me. But fate had some other plan. God took him away. As a teenage, it was a great shock for me. I retracted myself more and more. And eventually that led into depression. I used to stay alone most of the time, mostly spent the time writing songs in my books. Doctor suggested my parents to bring a change and we shifted somewhere else. I changed my school too. As an introverted person like me, it was really hard to adjust myself in a completely different environment. Still I tried my best. Suddenly some people came into my life as 'friends' but actually they were not. They were involved into illegal stuffs. They used to have get-together at this place. And used to drag me here too. So, I know this place very well. I know everything about this place, even the nearby areas. This port is the second place I know well after my home."

He stopped and drank some water from the bottle. I was lost into the story. It sounded more amazing because of the soft and soothing voice of him. When he was done, I asked, "Y-you were involved into those stuffs too?"

He laughed. "Haha...no, I never did such work. But I saw them doing and I knew everything. They had a 'boss' who used to give them orders and get works done by them. They used to work in small groups and they had different names. It's true that I used to hang out with them but I was never really interested in their works. Rather I loved this place. I used to come here often, alone. I've written so many songs sitting here, alone. Then a time came when I realized that I shouldn't keep company with them. I mean, that wasn't helpful at all. Yeah, it was easy to kill time when I was with them but I didn't like doing them illegal stuffs. And they were kinda tricky people. However, I found my peace in music and I wanted to stick to it. So, I chose that path and I'm glad I took the right decision. I stopped hanging out with them and retracted myself again. But this time, I was little bit more matured and little bit more stronger. Since then I never saw them again. Within few days, I heard police ran an expedition here, and caught some teenagers involved into illegal businesses. They caught them while loading drugs and stuffs into ships. They were taken to custody and put in jail. That was all the informations I had got. I don't know what happened later. Even after all of this I still kept coming to this place. Not because it holds the memories, just because I feel happy and get a type of feeling that can be compared to peace. It makes me remember the legendary songs I had written here. So, yeah that's why I've come here. And I come here whenever I misses this place."

I was silent the whole time. It was a different part of him, a part which no one knows, which was unveiled. Some people think he is kinda cold and rude, but that's definitely not true. At least, I never believed that a person like him can be cold. I'm in love with him since his debut. And I knew one day he would become someone famous. Huh...I was right. He's much soft and caring from inside. He put on a bright smile and said, "So...that was the whole story." I came back to my sense and nodded my head. Then we went silent once again. The sun outside was about set down, as it was getting kinda dark around.
