ぼく の ほう から ちかよる き が なくても、きみ に ぶつかられたら、ぼく は こなごな に なってしまうん だから.
What do the words in bold mean? I understand most of the text but can't find the meaning of き and the role of ん in the sentence.

Have you tried by looking at the kanji? And ん is a contraction of the の particle.– Breton LoïcJun 23, 2018 at 19:23

the word "ki" here roughly means "intention" or "interest".
き が なくても would thus translate to "even if you don't intend to..." or "even if it's not your intention to..."
and the ん, as @Breton Loïc stated, is a simplification of の. If you look elsewhere in stackexchange, you will find more detail on its use.

you mean because of なくても? The way I learned it in college was similar to this: Verb-ないform (remove い) + くて(も) = even if you don't Verb... a common example of this is ___しなくてもいい which is most fluidly translated as "you don't have to ___" ... but you can also think of it more literally as "even if you don't ___, it's fine."

so, yes, looking at it logically, it's the -te form of the negative form of "aru" Jun 24, 2018 at 5:08
