Taehyung
(whispering) Jungkook... why did You stop writing? you promise me one more letter
he unfolds the last page, stained with faded ink, he read aloud, voice speaking
Taehyung
(reading Jungkook's words)
""If Tomorrow Never Comes for me please don't forget that in some corner of time I love you more than the world would allow""
he presses the paper to his chest, tears welling
Taehyung
(to himself) You fool...how could I forget? you are the only thing I'll remember

The first letter
Present day Taehyung is working late in a quiet University archive tHe air smells of dust and ink. he stacks old books on the desk signing
Taehyung
(muttering to himself)
Taehyung
why do I always get the night shift? These books are not going anywhere
he pulls out a leather-bound journal from 1912 as he flips it open a folder envelope slips out landing softly on his desk
Taehyung
(frowning) ... what's this?
Taehyung
examines the envelope its yellowed edges frayed. On the front in elegant handwriting
Taehyung
"""𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙢𝙚""
""____"" this represents tae/ kook reading the letter
Taehyung
sounds like the start of a bad horror movie(soft laugh)
Taehyung
Stills curiosity wins. He open the envelope carefully inside a letter written in neat passionate strokes
Taehyung
𝘼𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙡 3𝙧𝙙, 1912
""I do not know if these words will ever find a soul or if they will vanish into dust like I one day but if you are reading this then perhaps I am not as alone as I thought""
Taehyung pauses, eyes widened. He glanced around the empty archive, suddenly aware of silence
he keeps reading, voice slower, softer now.
Taehyung
"" I am Jungkook 20 years old I write this letter because there is no one in my time I can confess to...the world would not understand, so I leave my heart here in the hope that someday - someday-someone will""
taehyung lowers the page, his heart thudding. for the first time in months, maybe years, he feels a strange connection to something or someone
Taehyung
(to himself)
Jungkook.... who are you?
jungkook's first letter
𝙟𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙤𝙠'𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧
𝘼𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙡 3𝙧𝙙, 1912
Jungkook
to the one who finds me....
I do not know if these words will ever reach anyone or if they will simply sleep forever between the pages where I have hidden them ...but the thought that someone might one day hold this paper this gives me courage to write.
My name is Joen Jungkook, and I am 20 years. The year is 1912 the world outside my window is alive with voices carriages and machines I cannot yet understand inside me There is only silence.
there are things I cannot speak aloud, not to my family, not too my friends, not to anyone who walks the street beside me .the world would not forgive me if it knew the truth of my heart, so I leave it here with you whoever you are, wherever you are...
I wish I could tell someone what it feels like to live in a body that obeys every rule but a heart that rebels against them all ...I wish I could tell someone that when I look at the night sky I feel longing in so Sharp it hurts, as if the stars themselves are keeping a secret from me....
Perhaps you will think me foolish or perhaps by some impossible grace you will understand me...
If you do then I ask only this: remember me....even history forget, even the ink fades, even if my own time erases me, let someone somewhere know I was here..
---Yours in silence
𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙤𝙠..
the archive room is still. Taehyung lowers the letter slowly, as though afraid even breathing too hard might crumble it
Taehyung
Mummering- "𝙟𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙤𝙠"
he traces the signatures with His fingertips. his chest feels tight like the words have slipped his skin and taken to inside him
Taehyung
(half laughing, shaky)
What am I doing? It's just... just an old letter. Nothing more
but his eyes betrayed him. They keep returning to certain lines… 𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙝, 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚... 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚
he leans back in his chair, staring at the ceiling
Taehyung
(softly, almost a shadow)
I understand you. More than you would believe
for a long moment he sits in silence, paper trembling in his hands. The almost against his will a smile ghosts across his lips
Taehyung
and if you wanted someone to remember you, Jungkook... maybe that someone is me
he folds the letter carefully, places it back on the desk, but his hands linger as if letting go would break something fragile
Taehyung
(resolute, whispering) I shouldn't. This is ridiculous. But... maybe I'll write back. Just once
The light hum overhead. the archive is less empty now as though a second heartbeat has joined his own
