BTS LOVE YOURSELF - THE NOTES (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)

'answer' Namjoon's Notes °20 July Year 22°

20 July
Year 22

I stared at the advert in the magazine.
At the other side of my table there was another
table by the window.

A girl had been sitting there for a
few days in a row now.
Books, bags and white paper cups from the
café were the same but she was different.
She was new.

I looked back down at the magazine.
Why was I still sitting here anyways?
All the other regular customers were living
their lives and were enthusiastic.

And here I am scouring a magazine at random.
Everyone was anxious to start there day.
I was anxious to do something.
That girl...but that wasn't the case...

I returned the magazine to its place and
went through the bookshelves.
Books were lined up and lay undiscovered
higher than what I could reach.

The smell of dust and books came over me
like a breeze sweeping through a window.
Strangely, I felt nostalgic.
My high school days came to surface as
I had fallen in love with my classmates,
and books I'd read then smelled similar
to the ones I browsed through now.

I couldn't really put my finger on it...
Maybe i stopped reading the book in
the past and had forgotten about it.
I moved to the other bookcase and
picked up the book.
I guess I had to start again.
