A whisper of secrets
Taehyung sat by the window, sunlight streaming through the curtains, casting long shadows across the floor. The dream he and Jungkook had shared lingered, vivid and strange. He could still feel the warmth of Jungkook’s hand, the way their laughter had echoed in the surreal landscape of swirling lights and endless skies.
But it had only been a dream—or was it more?
He glanced at the typewriter, its keys gleaming under the afternoon sun. It sat quietly, as though it had no idea of the wonder and confusion it had stirred.
Taehyung ran a hand through his hair, heart racing. He needed answers.
Grabbing his coat, he headed out, determined to return to the thrift store where this all began.
The bell above the door jingled softly as Taehyung stepped inside the dimly lit shop. Dust motes danced in the golden shafts of light filtering through the old windows.
The same shopkeeper stood behind the counter—a man with salt-and-pepper hair and sharp eyes that seemed to hold centuries of wisdom. He looked up as Taehyung entered, a knowing smile tugging at his lips.

“You’re back,” the shopkeeper said in a deep, measured voice.
Taehyung nodded, swallowing his nerves.

“I need to know about the typewriter you sold me.”
The shopkeeper gestured to a wooden chair by the counter.
Taehyung obeyed, his fingers tapping restlessly on his knees

“Something strange is happening,” he blurted. “I’ve been writing letters to someone… and we shared a dream. How is that possible?”

The shopkeeper leaned forward, resting his elbows on the counter. “Ah, so the typewriter chose you.”
Kim Taehyung
“Chose me?” Taehyung frowned. “What does that mean?”
thrift shop owner
The shopkeeper’s gaze was steady. “Some objects carry stories waiting to be told. That typewriter doesn’t just write words—it connects hearts across time and space.”
Kim Taehyung
Taehyung’s breath hitched. “So it’s... magical?”
thrift shop owner
The shopkeeper’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Magic is just a word for what we don’t yet understand. But yes, you could call it that.”
Kim Taehyung
“Why me?” Taehyung asked, his voice trembling. “I’m just an ordinary person.”
thrift shop owner
“No heart that seeks connection is ever ordinary,” the shopkeeper said softly. “The typewriter saw something in you—a longing, perhaps. And it responded.”
Kim Taehyung
Taehyung’s thoughts swirled. “But what am I supposed to do with it? Is there a purpose to all this?”
thrift shop owner
The shopkeeper’s voice was gentle yet firm. “Some stories write themselves, Taehyung. But only if you have the courage to keep writing.”
Kim Taehyung
Taehyung’s chest tightened. “Is there a danger to this?”
thrift shop owner
The shopkeeper’s expression grew serious. “Every story has shadows. But light always finds a way. Trust your heart, and you’ll know what to do.”
Silence stretched between them, thick with meaning.
The shopkeeper stood, pulling a small, tattered notebook from beneath the counter. He flipped through its yellowed pages before tearing one out and handing it to Taehyung.

“If you ever find yourself at a crossroads, this address might help.”
Kim Taehyung
Taehyung stared at the paper. “What is this?”
thrift shop owner
“A place where answers often reveal themselves,” the shopkeeper said cryptically. “But only when you're ready to hear them.”
Taehyung slipped the paper into his coat pocket, his mind buzzing with questions.
The walk back home was quiet, the city’s usual hum muted by Taehyung’s swirling thoughts. The shopkeeper’s words echoed in his mind: Some stories write themselves.
Back in his apartment, Taehyung sat before the typewriter, its keys gleaming under the fading afternoon light. He hesitated, fingers hovering above the keys.
Jungkook’s presence lingered in his heart, warm and comforting. Taehyung thought of the dream—their shared laughter, the inexplicable bond that transcended logic.
Taking a deep breath, he began to type.
Kim Taehyung
Dear Jungkook,
I went back to the thrift store today. The shopkeeper said something strange—that the typewriter chose me. I don’t know what that means, but I feel like we’re part of something bigger than we understand.
Have you ever felt that way? Like your life is leading you somewhere, but you don’t know where?
He paused, the rhythmic clack of the keys fading into silence. His chest felt lighter, as though sharing his thoughts with Jungkook eased the weight of uncertainty.
The typewriter gleamed under the dim light, waiting patiently for the next chapter of their story.
And Taehyung knew one thing for sure—he wasn’t alone.
