BTS SMERALDO THE NOTES 2 (Edited & Translated)

Taehyung: 21 April Year 22

I Will Not Give Up
Part 5

Ever since i heard Seokjin had returned from America, I had tried to call him daily. I checked my phone. Kim Seokjin. Still nothing. I'd checked so many times that his name now looked unfamiliar.

What should I do now?

I decided to walk. I struggled to sleep well these days. I woke up every night in a cold sweat from that same nightmare. I felt that if I had a chance to talk to Seokjin, I would be able to ease my anxiety.

I walked by JoonGang Park just before it got dark and headed over to the place across from the SongJu Cultural Centre. It was a ritzy area, not typically the place I would usually be in.

Seokjin's house was near here. I stopped in front of Seokjin's gate for a moment. Cars drove by, their headlights on me.

I decided to head over to the alley next to the gate. It went uphill. That way I could be able to look over onto Seokjin's garden.

The grass was green and the trees were lush and full of leaves. I saw a light go on in one of the rooms. I say Seokjin's silhouette.

This was it. I took out my phone and called him. I could hear his phone ringing. He didn't move to answer. He seemed to look over at the garden wall for a moment. Then he moved away from the window. I heard his phone go to voicemail.

When he disappeared, I got a glimpse of the wall that had been behind him. There was a map on the wall. I was too far to see most of the details. From what I could make out, it was a map of SongJu and YeongsanDong. There were a few post it notes stuck on. A few areas were circled with a marker.

I craned my neck and finally realized what locations Seokjin had pinpointed: our school, Gyeongil Hospital and Mokryeon Apartments where I lived.

Surprisingly, Seokjin walked back into view and stood in front of the map, marker in hand. He marked another place. when he moved to the side, I saw he'd pinpointed the SongJu police station as well.

Why on earth was he marking the police station?

I wanted to call him again. I wanted to find out what all of this was about. But I decided to stop callig for the day.

It was clear that whatever he was planning here was something he didn't want anyone else knowing about.
