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

2022, Jul 24 - Seokjin (Is There A Way To End This?)

(A/N: Loop #1)

[Place: Conference Room]

I followed abeoji into the brightly lit conference room. I sat on a chair by the entrance and looked around. I wasn't sure why I'd been summoned there. Abeoji sat in the center and was surrounded by familiar faces.

I looked at the clock. The discharge party for Jungkook must've started. I was thinking of calling the others when abeoji opened his mouth and the entire room became still.

The atmosphere was heavy, but it didn't feel ominous. Rather, the room was buzzing with excitement and expectations. The lights went out, and the title of the conference appeared on the screen. Masterplan for the Redevelopment of Downtown Songju.

(A/N: Throwback)

Abeoji had called me all of a sudden. To be exact, it was his secretary who called me. I'd said I had an appointment, but I didn't think it would work.

Abeoji asked me in the car on our way here if I was still hanging out with those "so-called friends" of mine. I didn't answer. He wasn't asking a question. He was just belittling them, reproaching me for getting along with them, and ordering me to cut ties with them.

He didn't even look at me. "Don't waste your time on nothing. I'm telling you this out of experience. Besides, you'll have to help out a lot here. Try to learn as much as you can. Then, you'll soon grow into an adult worth your salt."

[Places: container town, road]

It was a waste of time. I shouldn't have gone there. Instead of attending another redevelopment meeting, I went to Jungkook's party because Namjoon wanted to talk about the map of the soul. I hoped that there would be a clue to get me out of this endless pain. But all I heard was Hoseok begging me to save his orphanage.

I stepped on the accelerator. Why do they always want something from me? Why can't they take care of things by themselves? Why do I always have to save them? I was sick and tired of it. Why do I have to save them again and again when they walk back to mire of desperation after I bailed them out of there?

"Don't waste your time on a useless pursuit."

I remembered what my abeoji had said to me. Is there a way to end this without having saved everyone?
