Dear Kim Taehyung,

Today was like any other day.

I was talking with my members, Jisoo-unnie, Rosé, and Lisa. You might be familiarized with Jisoo-unnie, though. You guys were biology partners in freshman year.

Well, the bell rang, and we separated, going off to whatever first period we had.

I was walking, books clutched tightly against my chest, when I felt them being knocked out of my arms.

I knew it was you, because who else would it be?

Calmly, I picked them up, trying to remain apathetic.

"Taehyung, could you please leave me alone?"

I asked you, no sign of bother, but inside, I just wanted cry.

You smirked, leaning against the nearest wall, in front of me, your arms crossed.

"No, I can't."

I sighed. You would never leave me alone.

It's been years since my mother died, yet her words still rang in my head.

"Go on with life, find your love, be happy."

But if I love you? You will never love me, and that's a fact.

The warning bell rang, signaling me to get to class in five minutes or less.

You noticed it, too.

I didn't say anything, just clutched my books closer to my body, and walked off.

You did, too.

What am I doing? Writing letters was a stupid idea. Thanks, Jisoo-unnie.

Love,
