Yes, that is right! BTS is now preparing for their upcoming return with ‘Love Yourself: Answer‘. Now, to get fans into the mood, they have dropped another note teaser which is a continuation of the HYYH storyline. So, check it out below!
As previously mentioned, this note is written by Jin where he recalls everything that the group has gone through after returning to the place where everything have began. What is written is the following:
“Seokjin
3 August Year 22
I opened the door to the classroom and walked in. On a summer night, the smell of dust combined with the warm air. A few memories flashed through my mind. This includes the principal’s shining shoes, Namjoon’s facial expression as he stood by the door, the last day when I turned away from Hoseok and went on my own. All of a sudden, my head hurts and i got chills. I felt a flood of mixed motions including pain, fear and irritation. The signs I felt with my body and heart were clear. I had to leave this place.
Taehyung had grabbed my arm, maybe due to my expression. Hyun. Try a bit more. Try to remember what happened here. I shook him off and turned away. We have been wandering around in this heat for a while now. I was completely tired. The others looked at me as they don’t have anything else to say. Memories. The memories that Taehyung talked about were meaningless to me. Saying I did that, saying something have happened to me, saying things we have done together. It has to be deep inside of my heart, mind and soul. However, to me, those memories in that place were bad ones. The things that have hurt me, that made me want to run.
Since I said I would go back and Taehyung tired to stop me, an argument happened between Taehyung and I. However, we were both tired. The hitting, dodging and holding back were heavy, as though they were taking place in a thick and warm liquid. In a short instant, our foot got tangled. I wondered if my shoulders had crashed into the all because in that next moment I had lost my balance and stumbled.
At first, I didn’t know what had happened. Due to the thick dust, I wasn’t able to open my eyes or breathe. So, I started to cough. Are you okay? When someone spoke, I released I fell to the ground. When I got up, I noticed that the thing that I thought was the wall had actually collapsed. Beyond the wall was this large spacious area. At first, nothing moved. No way. We spent to much time here. Something said. No one had imagined that there would be this area beyond the wall. But what’s that? As the dust disappears, we saw a cabinet sitting in the empty area.
Namjoon opened its doors. I stepped forward. There was a notebook inside. Namjoon took the notebook and turned to the first page. I stopped breathing for a moment. The first page looked old, it had a name on it that I didn’t expect. It was my father’s name. Namjoon turned to the next page however I had snatched it away. He looked at me with surprised however I didn’t care. I flickered through the notebook. In between my fingers, the notebook appears to fall apart.
What was written in the notebook with my father’s handwriting were a diary of the kind of things he had done with his friends during his high school days. It wasn’t a account of what happened every day. Months were skipped where there was an unreadable page with what appeared to be bloodstain. That instant I knew. That my father had gone through the same things as me. He had made the same mistakes as me and was running to try and make up for it.
The things that were written in this notebook were records of failures. In the end, my father gave up and failed. He forgotten about it, dismissed and evaded it. He let his friends down. The finaly page with a date on it, there was an ink smear. It rann through to the next blank pages until the very last page. This stain showed my father’s failure loud and clear.
I wasn’t sure how much time have passed but everything got cloudy. Since the breeze came through the window, the area got cool and it appeared to be the darkest time of the day, right before the sun rises. Namjoon and the others slept on the floor. I looked up at the wall. I had seen my father’s name there somewhere. Underneath it there was a sentence. Everything started here.
I felt something lighten up when I closed the notebook. There were blurred letters on top of the ink stain. i felt something foggy from outside the window. It looked like the sun was rising. However, the night wasn’t over yet. It wasn’t night and it wasn’t dawn. In the mix of these light, letters appeared between the stain.
The notebook held memories that were more than just records. Above the letters, there were things that my father wanted to forget, things he didn’t want to remember. The marks were still there after the colours faded. Beneath my fingers, there was a whirlpool of what my father suffered and the fears he had, his despair and faint hope. A map of my father’s warped soul remained in this notebook.
I cried as son as I closed the notebook. After sitting there for a long time, I lifted my hear and my friends were still fast asleep. I looked at each of them. I don’t know if maybe we had to come back here. For us, it started here. We learnt the meaning of doing things and having fun together. My first mistake that I never will acknowledge out loud, it remained a gaping wound.
I wondered if all of this wasn’t coincidence. Maybe I had to arrive here in the end. It was the only way for me to find meaning in the mistakes I have made, and the pain and suffering caused by them, and for me to finally take the first steps into finding the map of my soul.”
Through this note, it appears to be a message. What I got from it is the fact that we have to learn to confront our problems face to face without evading it or having fears of it. This is a great connection to the rest of their previous comebacks where even though we have great days where we chase your dreams and understand ourselves, there are also bad days where we make mistakes. However, through all these experiences, we learn to love ourselves more and find the answer to our life. What is your interpretation of the notes?
Meanwhile, BTS is set to release this album on August 24th. Will you be getting the album? Do you enjoy the way the notes are connected to their overall concepts over the years? Let us know in the comments below!
