i'm sorry, hyung, i didn't mean to leave abruptly like this.

see, the thing is,
ilsan is where i grew up.
this is where i am rooted.

i'm sorry for leaving at four o'clock in the morning.
it was suffocating.
with you holding hands with her,
with you kissing her,
with you smiling at her,
i couldn't breathe.

my parents were aware of the news,
the delay of the comeback.

"Namjoon-ah," my mother said that night.
i was anticipating it.
"i know there was a time, i didn't believe in you.
and i thought you wouldn't make it," she said holding my hand in hers.
"but you did. you have really good friends."

"mum, why are you saying all this?"

she smiled sadly.
"i'm your mother, namjoon,
i know it when you're lying.
i know the log was a lie."

i felt my heart stop.
no no no.
don't hate me please.
i don't have anything left.

"seokjin," she sighed. "he's a nice boy."

i looked at her.

"do you love him?"

"yes," i blurted out. i immediately covered my mouth.

"namjoon," she smiled. "i don't know what you think about me or my beliefs,
but, i know that love is love.
if you love him, i don't think i have the right to stop you."
