01. Have you forgotten your X?
In early winter of 2014, when the wind was starting to blowOne day, he and I had planned to meet in front of Gwanghwamun and go on a date, and I was already about 30 minutes late for our appointment because of my damn internship.
“Sir, I’m really sorry, but could you please go a little faster..”
I was usually very punctual, so I was secretly anxious and worried, but I figured he'd be more understanding. My internship had been incredibly busy lately, and knowing that, I figured he'd be even more understanding.
At that time, I didn't know that it would pile up and eventually lead to our breakup.
—
“..You’re here now..? It’s almost movie time.”
“Ah… I’m sorry… Team Leader Seo,”
"Why are you making excuses I didn't ask you to? Let's go in quickly. It's getting late."
At first, I thought he was just upset with me and didn't think much of it. But it happened once, twice, twice, three times, four times... The frequency gradually increased, and I lost interest in seeing him.
—
“Stop being so late.”
“…I’m really sorry… because of the year-end project these days.”
"How many times has this happened? If you were going to be late, why don't you tell me in advance? Then I'd know to come in late on my own. Does your company treat its interns like slaves?! I should just report you to the labor office."
“..Hey Kim Seokjin. You’re being a bit harsh.”
"Is it serious? Is this serious?! I've tolerated you being late hundreds of times, and today is the first time I'm telling you."
“You think you’ve been putting up with it all this time? Every time I’m a little late, you give me hints and get annoyed. Do you know that?!”
“Can’t you even do that?! I’m outside in this cold winter…!!! I just wore a few clothes and waited for you, and you can’t even do that?!”
“You’re the same!! You always make excuses about being busy and ignore my messages, and you don’t even call me.”
•••
“Let’s… break up. Let’s just end it.”
—
It felt as if we had been brought together by some extraordinary fate, and I felt our meeting was special. I felt like we were the only ones in the world with that kind of fate and connection. And I believed that such a special fate and connection would never end.
I thought our relationship was special and different from others,
It ended for similar reasons to other ordinary lovers.
In the end, our relationship is just like everyone else's, nothing special.
It was just an ordinary relationship.
*
And now in 2021,
I ended another ordinary relationship.
"Hey, Team Leader Han, did you break up? How will the company see you now?"
"We're in different departments anyway, and the projects we're assigned to are all different. Team Leader Kim is going to change jobs soon, too."
“Namjoon, you’re changing jobs? Wow… Yeah, that makes sense. You’re going back to Silicon Valley?”
“I don’t know.. how would I know that?”
“I graduated from MIT and worked as a developer in Silicon Valley for three years. I miss America.
📱- Tiring tiring
Team Leader Han, you call me.”
“Oh my goodness, Director Kim, this little brat is ordering me around like a parachute… He’s three years younger than me… I’m leaving.”

“Sir, that won’t work.”
"Seokjin, think carefully. If you reveal your face, you'll make more money. You'll probably make twice as much as you've made from releasing albums so far."
"But I won't do it. I already have a lot of money. Your pockets are already plump, don't you think? No, they're already overflowing."
“Hey—just think about it for a second. If you keep pushing me and say you won’t do it, is there a way I can make you do it?”
"Do as you wish. I've made it abundantly clear that I won't do it. That's all for now."
“..Seokjin!! Seokjin..!!”
The CEO firmly refused and left the office, but Seok-jin was urgently called out to him, leaving the CEO in a state of deep thought. While the CEO was racking his brain, Seok-jin arrived at Min PD's hospital, oblivious to the CEO's state of mind.
—
"You're here? Why are you here now? I thought you were going to die of boredom."
“Where are you from?”
“You… did you finish the contract well?”
"…no."
"why..?"
At that moment, Min PD's pupils shook a thousand times per second, and Seok Jin noticed his strange behavior and looked at him with suspicious eyes and asked.
“What is it? Tell me quickly.”
“Team Leader Lee, Next contacted me about making the same documentary. But it was three times the amount Ian had offered.”
“Team Leader Lee? Could it be... that Next Exclusive Team Leader Lee Ji-an I know?”
“Yeah… That woman who beat out all the rising IT stars and became the number two in the industry, and was promoted to team leader.”
“And- your ex-girlfriend too.”

January 1, 2021
A day when a cold wind blew
“Hey Min Yoongi. You really need to stop now. I’m sick of you.”
“…What did I do so wrong?”
“Did I break your constant pride again?!”
“Ugh, meeting you in itself is a blow to my pride.”
“We’re breaking up.”
“Yeah. There are plenty of guys you can date besides me.”
“But... remember this one thing. I only have you.”
“..Don’t try to catch me with words like that.”
“I’ll go.”
*
“My ex-girlfriend…”
“…You still can’t forget your ex-girlfriend, so why are you doing this to me?”
"I don't even know where he lives or what he does. But you know everything, right? So isn't it more like I forgot?"
“Hey, you still can’t forget Han Yeo-ju, so you had an appendectomy“Do you come to greet someone who came out and say something like that?”
“Hey? Where do you keep saying you’re younger than me?”
“I was born early.”
“But, have you talked to the representative?”
"I don't know, what should I do? I have to be careful with my actions. That guy's going to try to exploit my weakness and make me reveal my face..."
“Just reveal your face. Then Han Yeo-ju will know where you are and what you’re doing.”
The two were having a serious conversation of their own, and in the middle of their conversation, a knock was heard on the door of the hospital room, and a woman who looked to be about 160 cm tall rushed into the room.
“Even a tiger… says it will come if you call it.”
- It wasn't me who betrayed you, it was you.
- That's what I mean... It's not longing, it's love.
- Stop talking nonsense and get out of my sight right now.
It's polite to wave!
