    Summary

    “Hey, Joon, do you know what earthquakes like to eat their dinner on?”
    “Hyung, not the time...”
    “Tectonic plates.”

    "All you have to do is feel this world. Live this life like you were walking through it yesterday. Because sometimes it’s gonna hurt, deeply. But you can’t let it numb you. That’s the challenge, isn’t it? We get hurt, we lose people, and the pain is so intense that we want to shut down. But pain is part of the deal of being alive. Even if it seems like everyone wants you to laugh and smile the same way you used to when their hearts were still beating, we know better. The alternative, to shut ourselves off, means missing out on all the moments that make survival worth it. And believe me, those we lost, wherever they are now, in all their death brilliance, they need us awake. Alive. Engaged. Because what are we gonna tell them thirty years from now when we finally see them again? That we chose to let the numbness win? That we lived half a life because the pain was too much?” Yoongi exhaled sharply, then looked at his brothers, at the empty space of memory, and finally back at the crowd.
