Summary

Jimin writes a letter to Jungkook before he proceeds to moving on.

Notes

I’m a shitty writer forgive me >:(

Puzzle
August was almost coming to an end hence the reason Jungkook was on his way to his hometown.
He promised his parents that he would celebrate his birthday this year with them. He was so bored
when he remembered the envelop his Jimin-hyung slipped on his backpack.

Out of curiosity and boredom he began rummaging through his things in search for that envelop.
After a few minutes delving for said envelop, he let out a soft noise of success when he pulled the
envelop out. He opened it with a wide grin on his face and pulled out the letter that was inside. He
started reading.

Jungkook,

Hi Gguk-ah. I believe you were already on your way to Busan or you’re already in Busan by the
time you would be reading this. I’m so sorry Gguk-ah, but hyung won’t be in Seoul anymore when
you come back. I would really appreciate it if you wouldn’t look for me after reading this. Please
take good care of yourself because hyung wouldn’t be there to take care of you and remind you of
the things you should be doing. Always eat and sleep on time and stop overplaying your video
games. I would be gone for a while so please take care of yourself.

Like two puzzle pieces we fit together but unlike two puzzle pieces we weren’t meant to be together.
I’ve come to understand and accepted that. It’s just that I feel so empty even with these surging
emotions. I'm feeling so empty even though I'm feeling everything all at once. I just needed time. I
think this was what would be best for the both of us. This is not a goodbye. Please don’t think of
this like that. I need time to heal. We need time for ourselves. I hope when the time comes, we will
still be okay with the friendship we once had. Please don’t think you did something wrong. Hyung
knows you so well Gguk-ah. You didn’t do anything wrong, if anything I did and that’s why I am
the one who would be keeping distance.

This isn’t a goodbye. I’d rather call this a see you later. I love you.

See you later Gguk,

Park Jimin

A teardrop fell from his face and onto the letter on his hand.

Why? Why would his hyung send him off and tell him to read the letter only when he got off the
train? Why would he say he love him and just... vanish? He was so confused. All he wanted was
for the train to stop and change track to go back to Seoul. He wanted to go back to his hyung and
beg him not to go wherever he planned to. He wanted his hyung back.

It all came crashing down on him. The suitcases behind his hyung's room door. The plane ticket
alongside his hyung's passport sitting there in his bedside table. The way his hyung was overly
dressed for someone who would just send someone off on train. He noticed those but didn't think
of it like that. And it was painful to think that he could have prevented this but he chose to ignore
those things.

They were so good together. Jimin was the Yin to his Yang, the spoon to his fork, the clause to
complete his sentence. Jimin completes him. He completes Jungkook's puzzle. But now his hyung
was gone before his eyes.
