I was supposed to be working; I had several special Christmas features to write. But instead, I looked smiling at the record of the past few months of texts with Namjoon.

Hi Namjoon, this is Jeong Chunhwa. 

I just listened to What Am I to You. 

That's a really powerful song.

Uh, thanks.

It's super relatable. I really like it, 

and I just wanted to let you know.

Thanks.

Sorry, I'll leave you alone now.

No, that's fine. I'm glad you like it.

-----

I just listened to your mixtape. 

I was never a big fan of rap music, 

but that's really impressive. 

And again, very relatable. How do you 

always write such great lyrics?

Always?

Almost always.

I just work hard.

I think it's partially talent too.

Mostly hard work.

Whatever you say. You're the idol.

Don't remind me.

Not having a good day?

Just some fan criticism. Don't worry 

about it. It comes with fame.

I'm sorry to hear about that. 

It must be frustrating to pour 

out your heart and work so hard 

only to be criticized.

Thanks, Boyeong - Oh, wait. 

Sorry. I thought I was texting someone else.

Sorry. I'll leave you alone now.

Sorry.

-----

Boyeong, I'm so done.

Sorry, this is Chunhwa.

Oh. Sorry.

Who's Boyeong?

Nevermind.

Nevermind, nevermind, there are 

lots of things in the world
