Finding My Own Place And Keeping A Place for Each Other
Part 10

Time loops are funny. Where I was now, drinking with Namjoon, at the street pub, was always a part of this specific loop. Bumping into the same person, waking up to a rainy day...things that were fated to happen did happen. After a small mistake, thing always spiralled in to catastrophe. It made me think that we were all bound with a sturdy rope to this world, that supported everything.

It was impossible for one person to figure out how that rope held everything together, saving the world from chaos. And how that rope had been tied...I didn't want to know. All I wanted to know was how I could avoid making more mistakes. I needed to stop the time loop.

As I'd expected, when I met Namjoon at the bar, he made small talk. Maybe Taehyung told him to talk to me like this to get me to warm up to him again.

"I thought you were like me."

That was the last thing Namjoon said to me. My head ached.

"I know everything about you, Seokjin. But what about the others? Shouldn't they know too? About what happened back then?" That's what Namjoon told me in a previous time loop.

"Back then" were our high school days. Back when I had to spy on my friends for the principal. I couldn't believe it was still important for them to know what happened.

It had already been two years since they'd caught me spying on them and ratting them out about their hangout at the storage room. I'd experienced countless time loops since then.

"Bach then" meant nothing to me now.
