I am a manager

August 3

The image of the prison was cleaner than I expected, as if the sins of the prisoners inside were being washed away....

After verifying my identity, I followed the staff member's instructions and entered a room to wait. Shortly after, Yoongi's friend entered from the opposite room. There was a glass partition between us.

I greeted him with the brightest smile I could muster. He said he remembered me. Even though it was five years ago, I remembered his face too, looking much gaunt compared to before...

I could see Yoongi the whole time I was looking at my friend. They were so close that they talked as comfortably as if they were talking to Yoongi himself.

I was talking about the current Yoongi... and he was talking about the Yoongi of the past, and before we knew it, visiting hours were over. When I told him I thought I would come again next time, he said that was fine. He asked me to bring him a photo of Yoongi so he could show it off to the people with him.

When I said that if I had told Yoongi, he probably would have cursed at me asking what kind of photo it was, my friend laughed so hard he almost fell over backwards and said that's why he's asking the manager.

I went home, gathered the photo cards and other things I had, and gave them to him during the next visit. Seeing Yoongi smile happily while looking at me and saying, "You little brat... you're fucking cool... lol," I couldn't help but smile too.

We parted ways laughing like that....

He said he met Yoongi at the next visitation and got angry, asking if he liked seeing this side of him... Yoongi apologized to me, saying it must have been hard for him to get there... He was also taken aback, saying his friend isn't that kind of guy.

I tried hard to comfort Yoon-gi, saying that it was understandable from a friend's perspective.

After that, I returned to the company, and one day, after a lot had happened and I had wrapped up 2018 with good results

윤기

Manager~ My friend..... is coming out soon lol

매니저

OMG!! .......☺ That's great!! It really turned out well~

I was so happy for the good news, as if it were my own. It made me smile to see Yoongi smiling shyly, looking so happy deep down.

That day, it was snowing heavily, just like the day I first met that friend when I went to Sinsa to pick up Yoongi...

Yoon-gi booked a hotel so that his friend and parents could rest comfortably, and even practiced driving, which he didn't particularly like, saying he wanted to drive them.

There is a saying that it is good to eat tofu on the day of release, so I made a point of buying tofu made from high-quality soybeans and packed it carefully to keep it warm.

I thought that my relationship with my friend had returned to how it used to be.

The BTS members spent their time on their own during their long-awaited holiday. I was sprawled on the sofa after work when the doorbell rang.

Ding dong~

매니저

(Opening the door) Huh?? Did you have a good trip??☺ haha

Just then, the door suddenly slammed shut and Yoongi hugged me tightly.

윤기

Hwaaaah....... **..........**!!!!! Hmmm

매니저

Yoongi...... Yoongi, what's wrong? Huh?? *Sob*..... *Sob*......

윤기

How...... What am I supposed to do!!! **.........

Yungi started crying loudly. His sadness was fully conveyed, and tears poured out for me as well.

And so, we cried in silence for a long time.

Addendum.

One very cold day in 2013....

Friend: Hey, you're seriously persistent! Hey, with your level, you could go somewhere else, make music, and have the ability to release an album!

윤기

Hey! Big brother is debuting soon!! A real man! Once you draw your sword, you have to see it through to the end, right?!!

Friend: Yeah!!! Go ahead and absolutely destroy them!!! Go all the way to the world!! Hahahahahaha

윤기

Ah~~ Why go all the way to the world~~😏 Shall we smash up the Billboard charts?!!

Friend: Go on!!! It's no big deal!!! Hahahahahaha

A little while later.....

윤기

Hey!!!! Lee Boo-woon!! He's our BTS manager! You better greet him properly!!

Friend: I've heard a lot about Yoongi!! Please take good care of our Yoongi~ heh. This kid is going to make it big~ I, his friend, guarantee it~ 😁

Addendum 2.

The day I had a drink with Yoongi...

윤기

Ah~~ I'm getting drunk pretty fast today~ lol

매니저

What the heck~ Min Yoon-gi said he wants to have a drink~ hahahaha

윤기

It's snowing, you know~ Whenever it snows, I always think of that**.... haha

매니저

🙂.........Haha, I heard they're doing well??

윤기

I hope..... they're doing well....... haha. I hate them so much..... I dislike them so much....... but when it snows, I actually miss them.... lol

Addendum 3.

A few years from now...... I don't know when..... something I hope will come true.....

I received a radio message saying that VIPs would be entering the concert, so I went to the entrance.

매니저

............. 😳!! Ah........ *sob*........ Thank you....... Thank you....... ㅠㅠ

Around the time the concert ended......

윤기

Wait, why did you cry even before the concert started?

매니저

(Holding back tears) Haha, make sure you go to Zone C later, okay?

윤기

What is it?? Who's here😳??

스텝

Alright~ BTS, please enter~

지민

(Hugging the manager tightly) Ah... I can't exactly be jealous of Yoongi hyung... Stop crying~ It makes me sad too when you cry, Noona~

Jimin's words of comfort made me laugh, but at the same time, tears suddenly gushed out.

매니저

(Pushing Jimin away and brushing off his clothes) Please come in quickly~

As the members gave their ending remarks and went around to various sections to greet fans, Yoongi went to the front of Section C.

윤기

(Waving to fans, then making eye contact with someone) Ha..... Seriously.......

Yoongi spotted a friend sitting in a seat. He wondered how many years it had been since they last met... Seeing his friend after such a long time, and seeing him as bright as he used to be, Yoongi burst into tears.

🦥 Agust D. I wonder what it was like

I still miss you, and I miss you again. Memories of our time together still linger around me. Maybe if I had held onto you back then—no, if I had stopped you back then—would we still be friends? What would it have been like?
