To Jungkook-
I don't know why I am writing this maybe it's because you are your words won't leave me alone maybe because some part of me doesn't want them to
if this is a trick then I have fallen for it, if this is Madness then I must already be mad, because I keep reading your letters as though it was meant for me
you said you wish someone would understand, I don't know if I can claim that, but I know what it is to feel like you are living in Silence while the world around you is too loud to hear your heart may be that make me foolish too
your voice feel alive Jungkook I can't explain, and I don't know how a letter from 1912 found its way into my hand here in 2025 but....it did
So here I am writing, knowing you may never see this, knowing I mag just be whispering to an Empty sky but if by some impossibility you do receive this then know this... 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣. 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨.

Taehyung apartment, a few nights later. The desk lamp casts a pale glow over stacks of Papers. The letter to Jungkook lies sealed in an envelope, tucked between the pages of old journey where he first found Jungkook's words.
Taehyung
this is ridiculous he is not going to write back he is not gone for over 100 years
he pushed the journal away then pulls it back his chest feel heavy as if it connects him to those faded ink strokes
Taehyung
but what if.... he does?
days pass, Taehyung check the journal every morning before work and every night before but nothing. He laughs at himself tells Yuna (his sister) that he just tired from late shifts, but his eyes always wander back to the journal
one night frustrated he speaks directly to the book
Taehyung
I kept my end, Jungkook, I wrote back, and now I am the one waiting in Silence, was that your plan?...to make a fool of me
his voice cracks not with anger but with something, softer, disappointment, longing. He close the book firmly forcing himself to look away
but just before dawn, when sleep still clings to him, he opens the journal one more time without expecting anything and there it is a new envelope again the yellowed paper, ink so fresh it shines faintly in the lamp light
Taehyung
(whisper, breathless)
No way......
his hands trembling as he reached for it The Silence of the room fell alive again like someone else is breathing with him
