03. Promise

One day, something suddenly came to mind

"Promise" 7 years ago

I don't remember that girl's face, though

Strangely, I vividly remember the conversations I had with that child.

I think I was so tired that day that I wanted to breathe the night air, so I sneaked out of my room at night.

Monday, February 27, 2012

I met the girl at an elementary school near my accommodation.

11:57 PM

That kid was sitting alone on a school bench even though it was late at night.

I felt it the moment I heard the girl's voice

The voice was so cold

It was a tired voice

Even when I go into the house, there's no one there.

Today, my mom and dad went out to eat with their friends, so I couldn't eat cake and I didn't get a birthday present.

박지민 image

박지민

It's so... so hard...

박지민 image

박지민

I gave up everything and became a trainee

박지민 image

박지민

My head was filled with anxiety about what would happen if I didn't debut.

박지민 image

박지민

Because I'm not better than the other members

여자아이 image

여자아이

no way -

여자아이 image

여자아이

It's nothing special

박지민 image

박지민

what .. ?

여자아이 image

여자아이

Why is there nothing that makes you better than the other members?

여자아이 image

여자아이

My brother didn't find it.

여자아이 image

여자아이

and

여자아이 image

여자아이

The reason you feel that way is because you're not satisfied with what you're doing, right?

여자아이 image

여자아이

Try harder

여자아이 image

여자아이

Feeling insecure means you know you are lacking.

박지민 image

박지민

.... thank you

박지민 image
