Hwayangyeonhwa (Kim Namjoon)

Hwayangyeonhwa (Kim Namjoon)
#MustSurvive












I was moving mechanically






Who I am

What are you doing

What are you thinking about when you live?




Like a zombie who has forgotten everything





As we reached the alley, the dogs began to bark.



At that moment

All the senses that had been paralyzed opened up at once

Countless scenes flashed before my eyes.




Mother's tired face

Wandering Brother

Father's illness

A life of wandering from place to place



Looking at me with hostility
Dogs' eyes



Stop it, what else do you want me to do?

I stopped myself from screaming.





My father's voice came to mind


A weak and aged voice


The night I came back from the hospital


What my father said to me


I pretended not to hear and passed by,


The very words I tried so hard not to think about

























"Namjoon, go. You have to live."
