The day was long

the day was heavy

the day was lonely

Sometimes

sometimes things don't go as planned but you have to

keep going

keep going

keep going

until the end of the day comes and you can

fly

fly away

finally

leave it behind

leave them behind

and Jimin can

finally

go out and

breathe

this winter

wind

It has been two years

two long years

that he's been working there

At the beginning everything was perfect

tasks, boss, colleagues,

and he loved it

He loved to go there everyday and work

from 8 to 5

everyday

writing, printing, correcting, meetings

all these were not boring because he was there

him

Min Yoongi

and he had a smile that brightened everything

and he had cat eyes that made Jimin bloom

and he had hands he wanted to feel

everywhere

on his body

and he did

one day

finally

and that was love

at work

But

one day

he left

he was not there

anymore

and that's when work became this

boring

annoying

desperately long

but he has to keep going

everyday

coz money doesn't grow on trees

does it?

Today

today was

especially hard

he made a mistake

and had to deal with it

his boss' scold

his colleagues' shshshing

and the client's anger

yes, it was hard

"i'm not okay"

he wrote

but no answer

so he had to deal with it

alone

and that's the worst,

to be alone

Jimin hates it

he hates the word

he hates the feeling

he hates the eyes of others

but he made it

'till the end

of the day

pfffeeew

Jimin breathes

slowly

deeply

lovingly

he catches this winter air

to keep it

inside him

and to feel

full

The air is cold

of course

it's winter

December more exactly

Jimin usually loves winter

he loves to feel cold

a bit

he loves to put on

tons of clothes

and hide

behind it

he loves the snow

but there is no snow

yet

and everything is grey

just as Jimin's mind

just as Jimin's heart

but he has to keep going, right?

so he moves

one step

two steps

and it slowly becomes easier

as he goes away from this work place

Around him people are stressed, pressed, sad

running, bumping into him

all these grey faces into grey coats

all these empty eyes

They may have had a hard day

too

They may want to go home

too

but they are

E

VERY

WHERE

and it makes it hard for him to find his way through the crowd

he feels oppressed

he feels overwhelmed

he feels desperate

a bit

He tries again to call

just to feel safe

but

there

is

no

body

So Jimin just keeps walking

He passed the crowded area

finally

feels relieved

alone in the empty streets

but the cold air is oppressing

but the lights are gone

but the grey walls are frightening

and the mud won its fight against his shoes

he feels wet

he feels cold

Where is his beloved winter?

He can't smell the vivid air anymore

his nose is running

He's hearing cars' ghosts close

but can't see them

He looks for his phone

again

but his numb fingers can't find it anymore

and it started raining

slowly

and Jimin has no umbrella

of course

but he keeps going

coz what else can he do?

The house is 30 minutes away

but it feels like 3 hours

and Jimin doesn't even know

if there will be any better

he doesn't know

he doesn't know anything

anymore

coz he is lost

When he is like this

the brightest sun gets gloomier

When he is like this

there is no light anymore

But why does he keep going?

Maybe

somewhere,

well hidden,

there is still hope

hope of a smile

And Jimin keeps walking

one step

two steps

it's the only thing he can do

and

slowly

the rain

stops

and

slowly

there is

snow

one flake

two flakes

like caresses on Jimin's cheek

and Jimin stops

he breathes

deeply

and raises his head to the sky

the snow melts into his tears

Finally he moves

again

and starts to see familiar places

his neighbourhood library

the school

his favourite coffee shop

his street

His steps are getting faster

a bit

The snow is falling heavier

and it seems to stick

It makes him happy

a bit

the tears are gone

He keeps moving

and then he sees that familiar place

his house

and there is light

inside it

and hope blooms

inside him

Jimin has to stop

to lean against the gate

to breathe

The day was hard

but here is home

but how is it

inside this home?

Jimin fears

a bit

He opens the gate

one step

two steps

climbs the small steps

There is music

inside

bright music made for dancing

Jimin smiles

He can see light

from the windows

warm light that wakes up things

He finds his key

his fingers are not numb anymore

puts it into the lock

turns it

and it's open

home is there

There is a blow of smells

delicious smells

hot chocolate, tangerine and fire

the perfect mix

for his winter

the perfect mix

for his winter

too

Jimin knows it

and he wonders

how he could forget it

on the way

how they are alike

for such things

how they are alike

for home

He smiles deeper

enters

finally

door closed behind him

dark winter outside

dark day gone

There are lights everywhere

colourful lights

playful lights

there is music everywhere

he likes it loud

always

there is this smell everywhere

these smells

his smell he loves

there is this taste on his tongue

hot chocolate

with marshmallows

and whipped cream

of course

he'll go prepare it now

and seat on the couch with a warm blanket

to drink it

But first

there is this embrace he feels

there is this smile in his voice

there is this feline gaze on him

there is this love surrounding them

"Hi"

he says

and Jimin smiles

coz he's finally home

coz it's warm

coz it's safe

and coz he's here

because Yoongi is home
