“The fourth container from the end. We had had a campfire here before we left for the sea. This was the first time I came here since that day.
… From what I’d heard from JungKook, the others didn’t keep in touch with each other. No one updated me about TaeHyung, but nothing much would’ve changed. This container was the only place where TaeHyung could’ve taken shelter from his dad. I knew it but didn’t drop by. It was exhausting enough to go back and forth between the library and the gas station. It was the truth and an excuse at the same time. Deep down inside, I might have been avoiding TaeHyung. I couldn’t afford to confront TaeHyung, it was too emotionally exhausting.”

“I hadn’t been in touch with NamJoon since I saw him at the hospital. But I did pass by his container by the railroad one night several days ago. I was out in the street to get away from Dad and his drunken temper. I just blindly ran out, wandered around aimlessly, and saw the light on at the container. Someone was in there. It must’ve been NamJoon. I wanted to go in. But I couldn’t. I got closer and could hear a faint melody and snoring sound. I sat on the ground in front of the container and looked up at the sky. It was literally pitch black without any hint of stars.”

“It’d been a while since the sun set, but the inside of the container was still hot. I spent every night here after I visited JungKook.
… No one else had opened that door and stepped in here. Maybe no one ever would. All those who meet must part, without exception. It could’ve been our turn. But, if someone still felt the need for ‘us’ to be together, I wanted to send him a signal that I was here. I wanted to show him that ‘our’ hideout was still here and still lit.”
