jimin's pov

he felt so real to me sometimes, so real that i felt if i tried i'd be able to feel his touch as if he was a real human being, but then reality hit me hard. i know he isn't real, but in my imagination he is, he's right next to me, by my side, just like a best friend would be.

i'm currently walking through an old, chilly hallway in an old castle in the middle of nowhere. i always wandered around here, it was very serene but quite eerie too, yet that's why i loved this place so much.

i let my fingers gently skim across the rough castle wall, it was so quiet that i could clearly hear my own footsteps echoing off the ground, though it was quiet therapeutic just listening to it.

i found the staircase i'd always sit underneath, i have a friend here, his name is min yoongi.

well, let me tell you a bit about myself.

hi, my name is park jimin.

i was born in busan, on october 13, 1995.
my childhood was rough, my uncle died when i was 3 which led to my mother overdosing, my father couldn't take care of me anymore since he would get up for work early and come home late in the night so he dropped me off at my grandparents house.

all was fine until i was 5 and my grandmother died, my grandfather was enlisted for the south korean naval base and so they had no choice but to give me up for adoption.

one night i snuck out of the center because i wasn't treated well at all, well i mean neither of the kids were treated well to be honest. i ended up in an old, gross forest and would always get sick there because i was cold most of the time.

*flashback*

i could barely walk, my legs felt jelly-like, i was so cold i couldn't breathe, all i wished for was to die right there and then. i sat down under a tree, almost tripping, i put my knees to my chest and sobbed silently.

"i miss you daddy, and i miss you too mommy,"

"i wish you didn't leave so soon, it's hard being alone, i don't want to grow up like this, i want to grow up happy, with friends, real friends who actually care about me, not fake friends who would stab me behind my back. i wish you were here to help me through everything i would go through when i'm older, i'm still young, i'm helpless, at least without you i am."

"i miss you."

i wiped the tears off my cheek with the back of my hand and sniffed, i could barely keep my eyes open and before i knew it i fell asleep.

*flashback over*

the point really is; i never found an ordinary place to stay, so i'm usually out and about, now uh, incase you want to know how i survived, i don't really know myself because i don't remember most of my childhood but before my grandparents gave me up for adoption they handed me enough cash to buy food everyday while i was at the center but what they didn't know is i escaped, so i guess i'd also eat at a convenience store. anyway, that's really all you need to know about my childhood

i snapped back to reality and looked around, i moved a little bit and started singing to myself very softly,

snowflakes are falling
they fall a little farther away
i want to see you
i want to see you
i want to see you
i want to see you
how long do i have to wait
how many nights do i have to stay awake
to see you
to see you
to meet you
to meet you

you know it all
you're my best friend
morning will come again
because no darkness and no season
is eternal

a single tear strolled down my left cheek as i stood up and walked over to a tall window, the moon was out and i could almost feel the chill breeze through the glass. i placed my hand on the glass and whispered,

min yoongi, oh how i wish you were real.
yes, you exist in my imagination but i want to be able to hug you, love you, and see you in person, in the real world.

you're the only person i'm close to,
everybody i've loved had died, or left me,

promise one thing at least?

promise me that you won't leave, ever.
