Suicidal thought
Jeon Jungkook
“Your class has gym this period?”
Kim Taehyung
WOAH! “How’d you know?”
Kim Taehyung
Are you stalking me huh(raise eyebrow)
Jeon Jungkook
“I saw your class schedule in the office once.”
So that’s how. But to remember it in detail, that was more than just a quick glance, right?
Taehyung wanted to ask further but decided against it, sensing their lack of closeness.
Kim Taehyung
“Do you come here often?”
Jeon Jungkook
“Not really—just occasionally.”
Kim Taehyung
"Occasionally. In other words, not the first time."
Kim Taehyung
(This was bad news. The rooftop was too dangerous; what if he came here often and someday decided it was a good place to jump?)
Kim Taehyung
“Don’t you think this place isn’t a good spot?”
Kim Taehyung
“It’s windy, dusty, you breathe in nothing but particles, and if you stay here long enough, you might end up with lung issues.”
In the original story, Jungkook’s reason for suicide wasn’t specified, nor was the location. All that was known was that he jumped from a tall building.
Kim Taehyung
“And there’s no guardrail,”
Kim Taehyung
“One slip, and there’s nothing to stop you.”
Kim Taehyung
“Also, being up here alone in the cold wind looks pretty dumb, wouldn’t you say?”
Jungkook watched him list each rooftop flaw, even using reverse psychology, clearly broadcasting a message not to come up here again, Amused he joked.
Jeon Jungkook
“What, afraid I’ll jump?”
Kim Taehyung
maybe...who know if you jump our school can never overcame loss of Intelligence (he whispers to himself)
A flicker of absurdity passed through Jungkook’s eyes as he tried not to laugh, now wondering what he might have done to give that impression.
Kim Taehyung
As long as you didn’t have that idea.
After a while, Taehyung finally calmed down and began sneaking glances at Jungkook.
In the story, Jungkook’s ending was the same as his—suicide. He did it for Kim Sung-min, but what about Jungkook?
Why would he do it?
He couldn’t understand why someone as handsome and talented as Jungkook would have any troubles at all.
Could it be depression?
The thought flashed through his mind, suddenly making everything clear.
Yes, it must be depression.
Taehyung didn’t know much about the illness and had never met anyone with it, but with the internet being so prevalent these days, he had read a thing or two.
Kim Taehyung
(Person who read book surely feel on depression)
He recalled hearing that people with depression often appeared more optimistic than usual, only showing their true feelings when alone.
This was why people around them often didn’t realize they were suffering until it was too late.
Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook lifted his eyes.) “Good-looking?”
Kim Taehyung
“Who’s looking at you?”
Kim Taehyung
“I was just wondering why you’re here.”
Jeon Jungkook
“Take a guess.”
Kim Taehyung
“You skipped class?”
Even after seeing this other side of him, Taehyung still felt shocked.
The teachers’ golden boy, the top student who aced every exam, Jungkook really was skipping class like the rest of them slackers.
Jeon Jungkook
“are you going to report me to the teacher?”
Kim Taehyung
“Don’t overthink. I don’t have that much free time.”
