[Kim Namjoon's Birthday Greetings] The Reason the Sunset Sets

The sunset is setting.

I found myself naturally placing my hand on my right forearm.

I still wrap my right arm at 6:15.

I still feel pain in my arm.

I know better than anyone that I can't break this habit.

More than anyone else

More than anyone else

I don't know the sunset well.

Because I know the true nature of that beautiful sunset,

Even today, I still can't take my hand off the one I raised, and I wrap my arm around the scar.

There were things that were precious to me.

Things that cannot be exchanged for anything else.

With my girlfriend,

It was an organization.

I guess I shouldn't have loved two things.

No, in the first place, I should never have had a crush on someone.

Because everything was the worst except for my favorite one.

Even Cha-ae was hiding the worst.

I was dyed in tea without seeing the worst of tea.

It was a date day like any other day.

Also, it was our 2nd anniversary.

I would pretend not to know for the sake of surprise, and I would act sensitive and get irritated by trivial things.

Perhaps Tan was too absorbed in the role, so she got angry and ran away.

"Wait a minute, lady!! I didn't mean to do that,"

"What do you mean, no!! I'm just sick of it now!!! Did it have to... did it have to happen on this day?!"

I was hurt because she didn't understand my feelings and only resented me even though I chased her and turned her away.

"I worked hard to prepare a surprise for you, so all you can do is complain?"

Oh, was that too harsh?

"Yeah, you must have prepared hard for this breakup surprise!!!! Do you think I'd like it if I did this? No, it'll make you fall for it even more."

"Is that all you can say?!"

"Huh, are you even getting angry now? Enough is enough. Let's stop being so hypocritical."

"what?"

"Let's stop."

It was only after the water had already been spilled that regret came flooding in.

She seemed to have already made up her mind,

That's how we ended up.

After breaking up with her, I devoted myself to work for two weeks.

As a result, I became the most accomplished executive in the organization, and my boss's expectations grew with each passing day. Naturally, I was also assigned more cases.

But, was it because I worked too much?

The kids from other organizations got to know my face.

Up until this point it didn't matter, but then some kid saw the female protagonist and me together.

I hadn't even thought about it that far, and I was enjoying the situation that was becoming more and more interesting.

Until that happened.

"Ms. Oh Yeo-ju is being held hostage!!"

The words of those below who came up in a hurry were enough to make me panic.

I lost my reason because of the anger I felt towards myself for not thinking of you and towards the other organization's bastards who took you hostage.

He ran around the scene like a mad dog.

When you were almost halfway through dealing with it on your own, a member of the opposing organization wrapped his arms around your neck.

"If even the slightest movement is shown, this woman's life will be cut off immediately."

My palms sweated as I listened to the words of that member of the organization, which were not a single lie mixed in.

A suffocating silence flowed. I finally made a decision.

He immediately shot the gang member in the arm and ran towards you.

The moment I was about to lie down and hug you like that,

'Taang-'

A gunshot rang out.

At the same time, I frowned at the pain I felt in my forearm, but then sighed in relief.

But that too was only for a moment

By the time I noticed something strange in her slowly distorted face, a large amount of blood was already flowing out of her stomach.

"No... Yeoju, no, right? No, right?"

"Nam, Jun-ah..."

"Don't say anything. Just don't say anything."

"Cool...n, Jun..."

I lost my mind and screamed at the sight of you spitting out blood.

"I told you not to say anything?! Please....please don't say anything!!!!!!!!"

Before I knew it, my voice was filled with tears.

"namjun kim...!!"

Hearing her voice screaming in pain, I slowly began to regain my senses.

"Nam, Jun-ah... I really wanted to say this."

"..."

"love you..."

"...!"

"Love, Hae Kim, Namjoon..."

Your words made my thought process seem to stop for a moment.

"...I love you too, I love you too. I love you, Lord."

As I continued to shout “I love you” in a trembling voice, your breath finally stopped.

Your blood covered the sky and dyed it orange.

The time your breath stopped was 6:15, 'the time the sun sets'.

The orange color of the beautiful sunset was the blood of my favorite Kim Yeo-ju.

The organization was a 'car that hides the worst' that made her a sunset.
