November 8, 20xx was my birthday.
"Just come home and relax. I'll prepare everything."
"Pretending to be sweet lol Jeon Jungkook is so cute"
"Oh, just do it if that's what you want~"
At school, I was like an idiot and just DMed Jeon Jungkook during class.
I didn't even know the teacher was behind me...
"What the heck? You should be thinking about studying when you're in middle school. Why are you flirting with your boyfriend during class and then falling asleep?"
"Miss, teacher...! What should I do if you say that so loudly..."
The phone is confiscated and the number is taken as it is.
I can tolerate this much.
Because today is the most special day.
"Hey, aren't you planning on coming home today? It's your birthday, so I bought you a cake..."
"Sorry, Mom. I have something to do today, so I'll go tomorrow!"
It's a lie.
How can I go home when my boyfriend is waiting for me?
This is the fun of living together. Making excuses for anniversaries.
-
Something, it's quiet.
Something I've never felt before.
This coldness and awkwardness, where I can't even hear your voice, which was happy that I came.
"Jungkook~"
. . .
"Jungkook? Are you asleep?"
.
.
.
Tiring -
Instead of Jungkook's reply, what came back was a text message.
This is how you congratulate someone.
[Web transmission]
(Patient Jeon Jungkook) No response due to excessive bleeding following a traffic accident at approximately 9:08 PM on Friday, xx/xx/2023. An emergency text message will be sent to all numbers registered on the phone.
… crazy kid
My throat suddenly became so dry it was crazy,
Countless thoughts are crawling into my head,
The sound of the clock hands urging us on, as if in a state of urgency
It wrapped around and tormented all my nerves.
Dressed in a shabby school uniform, with only one slipper on
I ran as fast as I could. If I had taken a taxi, would I have seen you sooner?
"I, Jeon Jungkook. Is Jeon Jungkook here?"
"yes?"
"Hurry up! Is Jeon Jungkook a patient? Tell me quickly."
"Are you the guardian? Please state your name…"
"Kim Yeo-ju. Every second counts, and we don't have time for this."
Manners are like eating rice
I shamelessly searched for you
.
.
.
"At 10:12:34 PM on Friday, xx/xx/2023, patient Jeon Jungkook passed away."
Just wait a little, just wait a little, Jungkook.
Just let me see you.
Did you go first, lethally? Did you have to keep that story?
Fifteen,
Around that time, I finally lost you.
