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

2022, Jun 25 - Taehyung (The Shadow Behind Me)

[Place: Alley]

(A/N: I'm not sure if this 'kid' is a she or he so... let's see soon haha! But in conclusion, it can be the highlight reel girl too.)

I purposely slowed my footsteps and perked my ears up at the small sense that someone was walking behind me. Today was the third time that we have met at the convenience store.

If there was something that was different, it was that the moment the kid saw me, he ran away. Then had hung around in a small vacant lot, at the back of the store. But as soon as I appeared, he hid again. The kid had hidden himself well, but the shadow was reaching far towards the front of the abandoned lot. I giggled. I passed by, pretending not to see, but then he started to follow me.

I entered a narrow alley. This was the only place in our neighborhood where the streetlamps weren't broken. The alley was long and the streetlamp was located somewhere in the middle.

When the source of light is ahead, the shadow stretches behind. So now my own shadow was stretching out behind me. I could have been stretching all the way to the feet of the person who was following me with bated breath.

As I pass beneath the streetlamp, my shadow disappeared beneath my feet. I started walking a little faster.

Not long after, a shadow that wasn't mine appeared on the cement road. I stopped my steps. And the presence behind me stopped too. The two shadows of different heights stopped side by side.

I spoke. "I'm going to wait until you come here." The shadow jumped, then it held still as if to say it wasn't there. "I can see everything". I pointed out the shadow.

The sound of footsteps started to grow closer, purposefully making loud steps. I laughed.
