*Bell rings*

"Oh hi! Wait- why are your eyes swollen. Were you up all night?" The bags dropped from my hands looking at his pale face.

"Ah no. I was just working out thats why. Come in."

I entered placing the bags on the the table. The room was messy, and it smelt nowhere near nice. In fact, it smelt of sweat. Honestly, I wasn't expecting this and I was a bit taken aback looking at Jimin picking up a pile of clothes from the couch, throwing it to the bed making space.

"Have a seat. Sorry for the mess."

"Ahh. Okay. But why don't you clean it? You have to leave tomorrow and this way, it'll take too much time." I asserted. He gave me an embarrassed smile, he already seemed so exhausted. They must be having no time.

"Would you like to have anything?"

"Ya.. no need to be so formal", his phone rang and he took his excuse. What the fuck is wrong with them, how are they living here. Oh my god, are they the lyrics sheet. Should I peep? Or should I not? Fuck it, Kaylie. Shut up. Sit up straight. I corrected my posture. Just one look won't hurt, I guess. I leaned in and almost in an instant retreated back hearing Jimin's footsteps.

"A- are you alright?", His face bore nothing but exhaust.

"I'm fine, I'm just a bit - tired?"

"That I can see from your face. I promise I won't tell anyone."

"I .. I am.. really... tired." When he spoke, it sounded like his voice was made of gravel. His clear tone was undercut with a choking heaviness that forced him to pause several times. His watery eyes closed and a single tear, as clear as spring water flowed down his cheeks. I pushed some clothes from the couch to clear up space for him to sit.

"Come on. Tell me."

"I feel lost, I don't know how to describe it."

"Jimin, everyone feels lost at a certain point of time."

"You know? I don't have a tragic backstory. I didn't come from nothing, I came from a family that has loved me from day one and been able to provide me with what I need. I have a roof over my head and food on the table. There are no excuses for me, no limitations, no walls I need to break down. But I'm not a genius. Not a superstar, not this incredible human being. And my greatest fear is that I will never do anything. People with incredible backstories change the world and I can't. I feel like I am a failure."

Even though I do not relate what he felt but I knew what he meant. For people like me, I have no obligations, its my dreams, my life. But for him, he has to live up expectations, not only of people around him but also the ones created by himself. I gulped instinctively.

"What are you saying Jimin? You 'are' a superstar. There are millions of people who love you, believe in you. You are not a failure!"

"I feel I will fail all the people who believe in me. I am putting my everything in this but it doesn't help. With each step, I take forward, the expectations reach its new pinnacle. But I cannot do anything more."

"It's dark because you are trying too hard. Take it lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days- I wish someone would have adviced it to me... So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That's why you must walk so lightly. "

He stared at me while I was giving him my own little life lessons. His expression was pensive, it displayed how intently he was listening to me, it was as if an indication to keep going.

"The moment you start seeing life as non-serious, a playfulness, all the burden on your heart disappears. All the fear of death, of life, of love everything disappears. One starts living with a very light weight or almost no weight. So weightless one becomes, one can fly in the open sky."

"But, how can I forget everything and just continue my life as 'lightly', you say?"

"Who asked you to forget everything? No. You cannot, even if you try. All you need to do is take care of yourself. Give time to spend with yourself, your friends, things that make you happy. Like you could have gone with Tae today, it would have refreshed you. You are on a vacation."

"But its good, I could spend some time with you. Turns out to be better. I feel light after talking with you. Somehow, even I didn't knew how I felt. Atleast I know why I feel so low."

"Glad I was of any help. Now.."

"Now?"

"I can help you with one more thing."

"Hmm?"

"Cleaning this place. You know your surroundings are an inspiration. It is scientifically proved."

"But I dont think it'll end anytime soon."

"I have no problem if my coworker is so handsome and maybe I can get some exclusive selcas"

The room resounded with our giggles as we started off with cleaning the master bedroom.
