PLAY ME A LOVE SONG: PART 3

 --💿🎙🖇🎙💿--

Saturday night had become a ritual for Taehyung as he select his callers for the week. 

And then he remembered, Wooshik shoved a letter to him Friday as a caller dropped off a letter. 

He smirked. 

Snail mail.

He smiled as he received his first post. 

He read throughout the letter and decided that maybe this is the best letter to feature for next week since the supposed caller for Friday's program rescheduled as he had final exams and needed to study, well thayt's understandable.

He smiled at the letter, it seems familiar yet it is not.

He continued browsing through his email, deciding what to feature on Tuesday when his phone rang.

"Hello." 

"Hi, is this DJ V?" A man asked.

"May I know who's calling?"

"It's Kim Namjoon, I'm a book publisher and I would like to feature your program." 

"Excuse me?" Taehyung asked. 

"Well, your radio program is starting to get popular since it's making waves even here in Seoul." Kim Namjoon stated.

"Oh, that's interesting."

"So, maybe we would like to feature 50 of your stories & publish them and maybe label your collection as: Late Night Love Talk: a chronicle of heartbreaks and happily ever after, or something to that effect." He said frankly.

"Wow, can I talk to my boss, first?" Taehyung asked.

"In fact, I wanna set up a meeting with your boss." Kim Namjoon stated.

"Oh, sure, you can email me at djv_latenight@mbcdaeguemail.com or you can find it on the website." 

"Cool, you'll be hearing from me." He said. 

"I am looking forward to it." 

"Thank you."

Taehyung was absolutely stunned. 

He left Seoul years ago and he wasn't aware at that time what he really wanted in life.

Does he know now?

He selected the rest to be featured on Monday. 

One year. 

He had been doing this program for a year and everything seems to be falling into place, well except his heart.

"It's Monday night and happy anniversary to Late Night Love Talk with DJ V. And because truly it's a great night, let's get to it and start playing our love tunes to calm the night. 

I heard this mashup and I would love to share it to all of you.

Presenting the first song of the night, it's Elise Truow's mashup cover of Bobby Caldwell's Do For Love and Foo Fighter's Everlong. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Late Night Love Talk with DJ V." 

After three commercials...

"Welcome back to all of you to Late Night Love Talk. This is DJ V. I promised on Friday that we'll be featuring our caller from Friday to today, however due to personal reasons, they are not available so for the first year anniversary, I will be

featuring my first letter from the mail. It doesn't have a phone number or an email but the story is very compelling and it's nice to share it with everyone. 

So here goes...

DJ V, 

This is the first time I have written or will tell my story to anyone and I have not

gathered enough courage to include an email or a phone number so bear with me.

I am also hoping that you'll consider this letter, well, I think every letter or email count.

My name is Justin & I would love to tell you my story.

I started falling in love when I was a freshman.

I saw him for the first time and it felt my world shook with excitement. I mean I am a typical and ordinary guy, I am a quiet but my crush was not. You know I have never realized this until lately,  my crush and I might be polar opposites but well, we fill the gap.

When I first saw him, everything seemed to be better, brighter, lovelier. 

It does Justin and I cannot forget my first crush too. My knees became weak and my heart raced so fast everytime they were near and it was just amazing.

So as the first feature song for tonight's program, please listen to Adore Me by Harry Styles. You are listening to the first anniversary episode of Late Night Love Talk with DJ V." 

After two commercials...

"Hello, it's me again, DJ V and you are listening live to Late Night Love Talk and for our first anniversary, we are featuring our first story from the mail and it's from our sender named Justin.

So let us continue...

I didn't realize that we have both became clingy to each other. Maybe because I was comfortable when my crush is around or rather, my best friend. 

Like there isn't a day that passed thay I didn't seek him.

Literally, all day everyday, seven days a week, we were together. I sleep over, my crush sleeps over and it may just be a little too convenient but maybe because we didn't want other people, we just want ourselves. Is that selfish? Maybe I was.

Well, Justin, being selfish is inevitable most especially when someone makes you feel good and maybe with your crush you found home. So for our next song, let's listen to Home by BTS. This is DJ V and you are listening to Late Night Love Talk." 

After five short ads...

"Welcome back everyone and thank you for listening to Late Night Love Talk. This is DJ V and right now we are reading a letter sent by Justin. So let us continue. 

My bestfriend and I found each other's company the best company that we he decided to

ask me out for a date, I had to say yes. 

It was a dream come true DJ V and it was priceless, spectacular. It is like the exhilaration and excitement from a roller coaster ride. 

It is like the amazing and stupendous feeling one gets when witnessing fireworks in the sky.

It is like that feeling when you stare at the waves, so soothing and hypnotizing, like you'd never get tired of it. 

That's how I felt for my bestfriend and if only I can relive those moments, I would.

Yes Justin. Dating, falling in love is very addicting, very fulfilling.

And it is something incomparable, each look, each gaze, each kiss, each touch, it will never be enough. 

Daniel Caesar's Best Part is one of the best and sweetest love song there is and we are playing it for you. This is DJ V and you are listening to Late Night Love Talk. 

After two commercials...

"You are tuning in to MBC Daegu and you are listening to Late Night Love Talk with DJ V. Justin, our first postal letter sender is telling us a beautiful tale of love. 

Let us continue. 

It was great DJ V, our relationship was absolutely amazing.

It was like a relationship like no other well, we are each other's first loves so I guess I cannot even complain. 

I thought our days would never end until it did and I didn't have a say in it. 

I immediately felt empty as if the world had swallowed me whole.

I felt as if I suddenly left all alone when I thought the world of my bestfriend.

I questioned myself, I hated myself and I was hopeless and the darkness of the world covered my soul.

Yes it was like that and it hurt so damn much that I just wanted to give up.

I just wanted to give up. 

Justin, you know, well, everyone, I experienced heartache too and the wound I got inflicted with is so deep that you feel that it won't heal anymore. 

This is DJ V inviting you to listen to Mariah Carey's Breakdown and this is Late Night Love Talk." 

After three commercials.

"Hello and we are at the final part of our program. This is DJ V and you are listening to Late Night Love Talk's first anniversary special where we featured Justin, someone who we are not talking to but instead, we are reading his letter.

Let's continue. 

I gave up maybe for sometime and I just hated myself and even avoided looking at myself in the mirror. 

Then someone came to save me from all the wretched feeling swimming inside my chest.

Someone saved me and I am grateful up to this time..

So, hopefully when you read this letter, I would have already proposed to my special someone and I hope they accept my proposal. I am grateful for them because somehow, somewhere they made me feel beautiful again.

Thank you DJ V for reading my letter. 

Sincerely, 

Justin

Justin, yes, thank you for sharing your story of hope.

I am happy that you have found your special someone. 

I am also glad that you are able to forgive yourself and learned to breathe again.

All is fair in love and war, you feel that it's not though when you are at the

losing end.

Justin, I really hope you get your dreams fulfilled.  Good luck man, I hope your special someone will say yes. 

I dedicate Yellow by Coldplay for you. This is DJ V for Late Night Love Talk signing off." 

Taehyung turned off his mic and packed up. For some reason he feel his heart heavy and disturbed.

He looked at the picture on his phone and traced Jeongguk's face. 

Yes Jeongguk.

He might be not be aware but Taehyung is still in love with him.

He might not be aware but Taehyung needed to go home because he had to take care of his father who was already sick.

He was going to explain to Jeongguk why they needed to separate but he walked away.

Taehyung was going to ask him if he was okay if we separate for a bit but he took it wrong. 

The last thing he has heard was that his former bestfriend Seojoon and Jeongguk got together.

T/W Illness 

He didn't want to know anymore well, maybe because it hurts too much. 

He needed to go back to Daegu to take care of his ailing father.  

He was thinking of coming back to Jeongguk most especially after his father's chemotherapy.
