[taehyung comes out of the bed, and sits down on the chair to turn his laptop on]

taehyung:
❝ you can do it, man ❞

[it really is getting harder for him to breathe now that his nose has started bleeding again]

taehyung:
❝ here we go ❞

▻[the laptop is showing the face of someone concerned, but familiar]

▻seokjin:
❝ it is so hard to explain
everything ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ well, i... ugh... i promised
namjoon that i won't say
anything to anyone, but
i am recording this ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ because i didn't promise
him about not recording ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ well, after i'd taken care
of him, he went off
somewhere ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ i didn't want him to
be in an insane asylum ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ so i decided to take
care of him by myself ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ i did that, because i
am his friend ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ we are friends,
after all ❞

▻[he laughs in a nice way, and smiles at the camera]

    
▻seokjin:
❝ but... ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ namjoon has just returned,
and he is asking me to do
him a favor ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ i don't want to ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ is it odd when someone
doesn't want to help out
a friend? ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ i don't think so ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ i've always hated birthday
parties ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ and it is taehyung's birthday ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ namjoon keeps saying that
he has organized a special
birthday present for his
brother ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ don't get me wrong ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ i'm not saying that i'm
jealous or something...
no! i'm not jealous ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ they are both my friends,
and i love them so much ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ but namjoon has been
acting different, lately ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ he talks to himself more
than he used to ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ and this scares me ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ yesterday, i went to his
place, and i caught him
talking to the wall ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ but he said that he was
preparing himself to give
a lecture ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ when i wanted to leave there,
i found this on his table ❞

▻[he holds a map in front of the camera]

▻seokjin:
❝ i don't know where it is,
but i googled the location,
and it wasn't that far ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ it was an abandoned
building ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ what is namjoon up to? ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ is he planning to buy
that building? ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ but the owners are dead ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ and— wait a second...
who's that? is that taehyung? ❞

▻[he stands up from the chair, and pulls back the curtain to see who that person is]

▻seokjin:
❝ okay, i'm freaking out ❞

▻[he sits back down on the chair, and looks straight to the camera]

▻seokjin:
❝ i see that person sometimes ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ shit! am i going crazy? ❞

▻[his cellphone rings, and after a short time, he picks it up]

▻seokjin:
❝ hello? ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ wait, what? ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ where are you? ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ what do you mean
'you're scared'?! ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ you think you saw
taehyung wearing the
hoodie which i'd bought
for him last year? ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ dude, i saw that, too ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ it's fine, just calm
down, and get dressed,
got it? ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ i'm gonna get ready
for his birthday ❞

▻[the doorbell rings]

▻seokjin:
❝ okay, someone's at my
door, buddy ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ i'll see you there,
namjoon ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ bye ❞

▻[he throws his cellphone on the bed]

▻seokjin:
❝ i gotta go to see who
it is ❞

▻seokjin:
❝ ah, i'm going to be

the birthday party, i will
record one more video
about how the birthday

▻seokjin:
❝ until then, goodbye ❞

namjoon:
❝ you shouldn't have
watched that, you
know? ❞
