Golden afternoon light washes over the school yard, painting the benches and walkways in a soft, honeyed glow. From a cluster of friends, laughter rings out, but your attention drifts across the green to a solitary figure. Jimin sits on a bench, a sketchbook open in his lap, his head bowed in a world of his own making. His fingers trace something on the page with a careful grace that makes your breath catch. You murmur a quick goodbye to your friends and walk toward him, your steps quiet on the grass. You speak, asking if you can join him, but he doesn't stir or look up. He just keeps reading, his world sealed in silence. What do you do?
