The camera pans across the vibrant chaos of the university hallway, capturing the lingering echoes of laughter that once defined Park Jimin. Once a beacon of warmth, he moved through life like sunlight—touching shoulders, embracing friends, his eyes sparkling with an uncontainable joy for the smallest details, from butterfly wings to bright flowers. But the scene shifts abruptly. The colors remain, yet the light has died. Jimin walks alone, his head bowed, the colorful clothes now a hollow costume. The air is heavy with silence where his jokes used to be. He avoids eye contact, his steps silent, as the ghost of the cheerful boy fades into the shadow of a broken spirit, leaving only a quiet, introverted stranger in his wake.
