BTS HYYH Notes (Book 1, 2, BUS Game) // COMPLETE [Part 2]

2022, Aug 2 - Taehyung (Time To Remember All The Moments)

[Place: Taehyung's home, everywhere]

(A/N: POV #1)

I woke up, startled. I felt chilled with my heart pounding. What had got me all riled up? I looked around, but nothing had changed in Mokryeon Apartments 401---my dirty, old shack. I'd thought I'd take it easy for a bit but ended up dozing off.

What time was it? How long had I been lying in the sunlight coming in through the window? When I stood up, my back was drenched with sweat. I gulped down a cup of water. I felt better as the lukewarm water went down through my system.

I looked at my phone. I had a new text from Seokjin hyung. It came with a couple old pictures from our high school days. Yoongi hyung sitting by the piano with Jungkook. Hoseok-ie hyung and Jimin with whipped cream on their faces. Namjoon hyung reading a book by the window, and me laughing my head off in front of the camera. And below the pictures, it said: Did this really happen?

I expanded the pictures. Had they really happened? I remembered them as clear as day. None of us would have forgotten them.

Not because those moment in the pictures were special. Back in school, we had had too many of those days even to count. Every day was like the day in the pictures. It wasn't a matter of remembering them or not.

I thought about what Seokjin hyung meant. After Jungkook's messed-up party was over, I had left a text in our chatroom: Seokjin hyung, if you ever need us, just let us know.

Namjoon hyung asked me later, "Do you think he will?"

I said, "I want to believe in him. Because believing something which is hard to believe is really believing."

(A/N: Moments later)

The text from Seokjin hyung had sent, whether the pictures had really happened, was his answer to my text. He had begun to trust me. He took the first step to admitting that he was losing his memories and needed help.

And I knew exactly what to do. I'd said I wanted to help him, but I had no plans and didn't know what I could do. But hyung gave me the answer. I had to bring back the spaces, the times, and emotions in the pictures. We had to go to Namjoon hyung's container, the railway by Songju Station, the shore, and the school.

I clicked on our chatroom. It was time for us to meet.

(A/N: POV #2)

Seokjin hyung still looked stone-faced. He didn't say a word and wasn't in the mood to be chummy. But he was focused on remembering things. He seemed to be suffering from a headache and rubbed his temples or massaged the back of his neck from time to time. He grimaced, trying to bear the headache. "The first time we were here when---" I said in front of Namjoon hyung's container. Seokjin hyung looked at it half believing and half not whether it really happened.

(A/N: This is Tae's POV before Jungkook's POV on this day. In short, they went on this and that places, including the others, before Jungkook's POV.)

Meanwhile, Namjoon hyung arrived. We walked alongside the railway. "We used to hang out here a lot, and got chased away by the station workers." Yoongi hyung and Jimin came from the other direction. "I fell while running away, and I still have a scar," said Jimin as he showed his left shin.

When we got to Songju Station, we looked up at the ticket prices. Namjoon hyung said, "When we went to the beach, we walked forever with the sun beating down on us, looking for a wish-granting boulder only to find out that it'd been blown up to pieces. We still made a wish by the beach. Do you remember what you wished for?" Seokjin hyung didn't say anything. "I can't remember what I wished for." Said Namjoon hyung as he scratched the back of his head.

We met up with Hoseok hyung too after we left the station and were heading to school. "Sorry. The train got delayed." To catch up with us, he ran even with crutches. When we turned the corner, we saw our school. Seokjin hyung stares at us as if he were looking at it for the first time in his life.
