Bald Tae pics and Namjoon’s letter within minutes of each other I’m fighting for my life
Beautifully said as always
If this is how it is today, I won’t be able to survive tomorrow
This is really it, I guess 😭 Only 6 months until Jinnie is home to cheer us up again, so it won’t even feel that long. I know they’ve prepared SO much to spoil us
omg my heart is aching, he always has a way with his words 😭❤️🩹 wishing a safe and healthy service!! 🙏🏻💜
😭😭😭
And now the wait begins 😢 Stay healthy, everyone! 💜💜💜
Okay this is what finally broke me 😭 Wishing them all a safe, healthy service 💜
Hugs all round everyone, they’ll be back before we know it 💜
See you again in the near future, Joonie. You know that we love you so damn much right 😔🤍
So this is it I guess. I’m not sure why it’s taken a year for it to finally hit me. 😥
Oh it happened. I dont know why this hurts so much?! I dont know them. They dont know me. Yet…..I find myself sad and also extremely proud. May they stay safe, healthy and come back to us happy and healthy. Big hugs Army xx
Okay now it really starting to hit…😭
Oh today feels so heavy and final. I was almost scared to open this when I saw it was the anticipated long letter from Joonie.
But as always, it’s so sweet and loving. And now my heart is filled with even more love. If that’s even possible. 💜
> I feel like my insides are already filled with that love. > I hope I can be that kind of person to you too.
I am afraid
Knowing this was coming and then reading this made me realize I was in denial still. The only people who will understand why this matters to me are all my fellow Army and that is just one more gift these boys have given.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
His words are always so articulate and comforting gonna miss them all🥹
Be here waiting💜💜
😭
My eyes automatically teared up when I got the notification from our precious leader. After reading it, my heart swelled up even more but yet I am comforted at the same time. The power that is Kim Namjoon’s pen. 😭
So in the meantime, because Bangtan didn’t raise no weak lilac soldiers, I will work to improve myself during this unsupervised period until we reunite again on that warm spring day. 🫶🫡
Yeahhh, I saw the notif and thought “is this what I think it is”, took a peek at the length of the post, said “yeah the dreaded farewell letter” and decided I’m in no shape to read the translations just yet.
Knowing it was coming doesn’t make is any easier.
I read Namjoon’s letter, starting crying half way through and then saw Taehyung’s photo. 🥺😭
Come on, you all 🥲
Such beautiful words from our strong leader. ARMY, let us be a little comforted knowing millions of people around the world are grieving together. We won’t be walking these next 18 months alone. We have each other, and they will always be thinking of us. 💜😭✊🏼
his letters always have this complex stream of emotions: melancholy and yearning, bitterly cheerful and hopeful, compassion and understanding. he is such a beautiful soul and i am going to miss him (and other members) so so much.
My Instagram is going to be the loneliest place for the next 6 months until Jin returns. I’ve gotten so used to Namjoons stories and posts. I’ve been thinking, though, I should take the next 6 months to work on myself, I’ve had a few horrible things happen in the last few weeks, and I want this year to be over.
January is my time to start getting my head sorted, prioritise my own needs and feelings, and hopefully, in 6 months time, I will be a better person.
I put on mono last night because I knew it wouldn’t be long for Joon to go.
I said before that I’d be inconsolable when he goes. And that’s still true. I didn’t know how a person could comfort me this much and make me this emotional, but Namjoon has always had that effect on me. I still listen to his ending ment from Rosebowl D2 from time to time and understand how lucky I was to be there to hear it in person. My most favourite lyrics of his are from Trivia: Love, *you erase all my edges, and turn me into love* that’s what Namjoon did for me, too. Made me see the world a different way, a better way. Truly encouraged me to love myself. And I don’t even know him personally lol but to have the ability to affect others this much, with just words…it’s a gift.
I hope he knows and feels how loved he is even though we are all so far away. Just like him wanting to reach us, I hope we’re able to reach him too. He said in a previous letter that just when we’re starting to forget him and BTS, that he’d come back to remind us again. I’ll hold him to that promise.
I look forward to welcoming him home in 2025. I know he will do well, they all always do. I hope he always stays safe and finds a reason to smile every day. This period of BTS being enlisted will be tough, but I trust that BTS have given us enough strength to persevere and flourish on own own, just like they will persevere and flourish on their own.
And now I’m off to get some more rest because I have the flu and crying while already feeling a mess is not good lol
LOVE=NAMJOON
This man has so much love inside him, and he deserves to be showered with even more love.
Please stay safe and healthy Namjoon. We’ll be waiting for you 💜
I’ve been in blissful denial about when this would finally occur and waking up to this today was just the icing on the cake of a really hard week. I’m gonna miss his updates, his long letters, his beautiful slice-of-life posts. I’m still pretty new in this and yet I’m so affected by their leaving, veteran Army friends, how are you holding on?? Sending everyone love and hugs as we wait for our boys to come home. And hoping our boys stay healthy and safe until we meet again. 🥺💜
Started thinking about what Erykah Badu told RM: “The people that love you are strong for you.” As much as Namjoon sincerely and so beautifully conveys his love for us, I hope he feels how deeply we love him. I’m going to miss him terribly.
I hope they find their time productive, growth-oriented, and less scary than they imagine. I hope they make new friends and have good memories. I hope time goes by fast for them and for their families! We will be waiting 💜
I started listening to Namjoon’s music long before I listened to BTS. He’s truly incredible. I wish I could tell him that.
Oh. Is this why I’m feeling so lethargic out of nowhere the whole day… I’m getting a whiplash cause here we have Joon who makes us cry, and then there’s Tae making us laugh 😭 It’s fine, it’s just a temporary goodbye like Joon said – they will be back soon 🥹 But I think it’s okay to cry today. So to whoever is crying – 🫂
Stay safe both of you, we love you a lot too and will see you in 2025 💜
Oh god Namjoon 😭 I am just so glad we’ve got this space to be able to share our feelings together. I have a friend who lets me blab about bangtan to her, but outside of that people either don’t know or don’t understand why this feels as hard as it does. Big hugs to everyone 💜
😭😭😭😭 bye joonie thanks as always for your wonderful words. We will wait for you.
No words, only tears right now 😭 I’ll miss you so much, Joonie! We’ll be here waiting 💜
Namjoonie’s letter 💜💜💜💜💜🥲🫡
Crying at 4am, no big deal 🥹
It’s really is happening….
Stay healthy!
rm, always looking for the beauty in things.
stay warm! 💜
I can’t 😭

how many times are they gonna make us cry today 😭😭😭
till 2025 joon, please stay safe & healthy 🥺💜 we’ll see you soon
Crying in the bathroom at work is totally normal right?
Someone hold my hand.
His words are always so special
The dreaded RM goodbye letter 🥺
