Mumbai, India — Early Morning

In the bustling city of Mumbai, where dreams dance in every lane, lives a girl whose heart beats not to the rhythm of Bollywood, but to the soulful voice of a star from across the sea.

(Panel 1: A small, cozy bedroom plastered with BTS posters. Kanchan, a 19-year-old Indian girl, is seen dancing in front of a mirror with earphones in, BTS’s “Filter” playing.)

Kanchan (thinking):

“Park Jimin… you’re not just an idol to me. You’re the dream I chase every day.”

(Panel 2: Kanchan stops and bows playfully to her mirror)

Kanchan (smiling):

"Encore, please! Jimin-ssi, did I do well?

College Campus

(Panel 3: Kanchan walks through the campus with her friend Priya. They both carry books and sip iced coffee.)

Priya:

“Girl, you’re obsessed! Do you ever talk about anything besides Jimin?”

Kanchan (laughing):

“It’s not just a crush. His music saved me during the hardest times. When Dad lost his job and Mom fell ill… I found comfort in him.”

Priya (teasing):

“So, you plan to marry him or what?”

Kanchan (grinning):

“Maybe! Who knows? One day… I’ll meet him. I’ll tell him how much he means to me.”

(Panel 4: A flyer on the campus bulletin board catches Kanchan’s eye. It reads: “BIGHIT ENTERTAINMENT DANCE COMPETITION — FINALISTS TO PERFORM IN SEOUL.”)

Kanchan (gasping):

“This… this is it.”

Kanchan’s Home That Night

(Panel 5: Kanchan sits with her parents, holding the flyer.)

Kanchan:

“Please, Appa, Amma… it’s a dance competition. If I win, I’ll go to Seoul. Maybe… I’ll see BTS. Maybe even Jimin!”

Father:

“Kanchan, Seoul is far. And we don’t have the money for flights or hotels…”

Mother (softly):

“But she’s talented. If there’s even a small chance she could change her life... maybe we should support her.”

(Panel 6: Kanchan’s eyes well up.)

Kanchan:

“I’ll work part-time, cover my own expenses. Just let me try…”

Montage — Dance Practice

(Narration box)

With fire in her heart and Jimin in her soul, Kanchan trained every day.

(Panels show her dancing on rooftops, at college, in parks — mimicking Jimin’s moves, adding her own flair. Failing. Falling. Getting up.)

Kanchan (thinking):

“I’m not doing this just to meet him. I want him to be proud of me, even if he never knows me.”

Competition Day — Mumbai

(Panel 7: Bright lights. Loud music. Dozens of dancers. Kanchan steps onto the stage in a BTS-themed outfit.)

(Judges at the table, cameras rolling.)

Announcer:

“Contestant #47 — Kanchan Mehra!”

(Kanchan bows and takes position. Music begins: BTS – “Lie”)

(Panel 8: Kanchan dances like her life depends on it. Her moves are sharp, yet emotional — a tribute to Jimin’s expressive style.)

(Crowd applauds. Judges whisper to each other.)

Judge:

“She has raw talent… and she captures emotion beautifully.”

: One Week Later

(Panel 9: Kanchan runs down her street, holding an envelope, tears in her eyes.)

Kanchan (screaming):

“I’M GOING TO SEOUL!”

(She hugs her parents tightly, crying and laughing.)

Mother:

“We’re proud of you, Kanchu…”

Father:

“Just… come back with stories we’ll never forget.”

(Final Panel: Kanchan looking out of her airplane window, eyes shining.)

Kanchan (thinking):

"Jimin… I’m coming. Maybe not as a fan this time, but as someone you'll see."

Scene 1: In the Air — Kanchan’s Flight to Seoul

The sky was no longer the limit. Kanchan soared above the clouds, chasing the dream she once only whispered to the stars.

(Panel 1: Kanchan sits by the window, gazing down at the clouds, clutching her dance bag.)

Kanchan (thinking):

“Seoul… The city where he lives, breathes, and performs. I wonder if he’s looking at the same sky.”

(Panel 2: The flight attendant approaches her seat.)

Flight Attendant:

“Ma’am, would you like anything to drink?”

Kanchan (smiling):

“Just water, thank you. And um… do you know if idols ever fly on this route?”

Flight Attendant (laughing):

“Not usually with us — they have private charters. But who knows, maybe you'll spot one at Incheon!”

Scene 2: Arrival in Seoul

(Panel 3: Kanchan steps out of the airport, luggage in hand. The city is buzzing with neon lights, fast cars, and music playing from every corner.)

Kanchan (thinking):

“This city feels like it never sleeps… just like my heart when I hear his voice.”

(Panel 4: She gets into a taxi and shows the address of the dorms arranged for competition finalists.)

Taxi Driver (friendly):

“Ah, dance competition? Good luck, miss!”

Kanchan (in Korean, nervous):

Ghamsahaminda Thank you.”

Scene 3: Dormitories for Contestants

(Panel 5: Inside a modern building. Girls and boys from different countries check in with their IDs. Kanchan enters the shared dorm room — three bunks, neat and simple.)

Roommate 1 (American, blonde):

“Hey there! I’m Elly from California. You?”

Kanchan:

“Kanchan… from Mumbai, India.”

Roommate 2 (Korean girl):

“Nice to meet you! I’m Hana. Big BTS fan?”

Kanchan (grinning):

“Big is an understatement.”

Elly (laughing):

“We all are. Heard the top 3 dancers might get to attend a private showcase next week. A secret schedule… not even open to fans.”

(Kanchan’s heart skips a beat.)

Kanchan (thinking):

“A showcase? Could Jimin be there?”

Scene 4: Practice Room, Next Morning

(Panel 6: Kanchan walks into a giant mirrored dance studio. An instructor claps to gather attention.)

Instructor:

“Welcome, dancers! I’m Min Jun-woo. You’ll be judged on style, execution, and expression. We begin now.”

(Panel 7: Music begins — fast-paced hip hop. Kanchan struggles at first to follow the routine but soon finds her rhythm.)

(Panel 8: Jun-woo watches her carefully.)

Instructor (thinking):

“She’s not technically the best… but she tells a story with her movement. That kind of passion can’t be taught.”

Scene 5: Rooftop Later That Evening

(Panel 9: Kanchan sits under the stars, eating a kimbap roll. She looks at a photo of Jimin on her phone.)

Kanchan (quietly):

“I wish I could tell you how much your words mean. I wish… you'd see me even once. Not just as a fan.”

(Her phone buzzes — a text from Priya.)

Text Message:

"We’re watching your dance vids at college! Everyone’s cheering for you!"

Kanchan (teary-eyed):

“I’m not alone. Not anymore.”

Scene 6: BIGHIT Entertainment Building — One Week Later

(Panel 10: The finalists gather outside a massive, glass-walled building. BIGHIT’s logo looms above them. A staff member reads out three names.)

Staff Member:

“Elly Peterson, Hiroshi Tanaka… and Kanchan Mehra. Congratulations — you're invited to the private BTS performance rehearsal.”

(Kanchan gasps, hands flying to her mouth. The others cheer.)

Hana:

“You did it, girl!”

Kanchan (whispering):

“Jimin… I’m going to

Scene 1: Inside BigHit Entertainment – Rehearsal Hall

It was the moment she had imagined a thousand times — in dreams, in dances, in silence. But reality had a heartbeat louder than any fantasy.

(Panel 1: Kanchan, Elly, and Hiroshi step quietly into a high-ceilinged dance hall. The lights are soft, and music echoes through the space. On the mirrored floor, BTS is mid-rehearsal — seven silhouettes in perfect sync.)

Kanchan (thinking):

“There he is… Jimin.”

(Panel 2: Close-up of Jimin, dancing with power and grace, sweat glistening on his forehead as he moves to the beat of “Black Swan.”)

Kanchan (frozen, wide-eyed):

“He’s… even more beautiful in person.”

Scene 2: Observing from the Sidelines

(Panel 3: Kanchan sits in the corner, barely breathing. The manager watches over the guests.)

Manager:

“The boys will finish rehearsal soon. Please don’t speak or record anything.”

(Elly whispers to Kanchan.)

Elly:

“You okay? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Kanchan (softly):

“No… I’ve seen a miracle.”

(Panel 4: As the music ends, the members take a break. Jimin removes his jacket, wiping sweat from his brow. He walks over to the corner where water bottles are lined up — right near where Kanchan is sitting.)

(Kanchan's heart pounds uncontrollably.)

Kanchan (thinking):

“He’s coming this way… he’s going to walk past me!”

Scene 3: The First Interaction

(Panel 5: Jimin reaches for a bottle. His eyes meet Kanchan’s for the briefest second. He gives a small, polite nod.)

Jimin (softly):

“Annyeonghaseyo.”

(Kanchan stares for a second before quickly bowing.)

Kanchan:

“Annyeonghaseyo… Jimin-ssi.”

(He smiles kindly before walking back.)

Kanchan (thinking):

“That smile… he really smiled at me.”

Scene 4: After Rehearsal

(Panel 6: The manager claps his hands.)

Manager:

“Thank you for observing today. One of you will be selected to participate in a short fan interaction with BTS tomorrow — a new content series we’re developing. The final name will be revealed tonight.”

(Panel 7: Back in the dorm, the three finalists are anxious.)

Elly:

“I hope it's one of us. Can you imagine actually talking to them?”

Kanchan (thinking):

“Please… let it be me. I just want one moment to tell him what he means to me.”

Scene 5: Later That Night

(Panel 8: Kanchan sits on her bed, scrolling through old dance videos she made. She pauses on one of her earliest, where she dances to “Promise.”)

Kanchan (whispering):

“I’ve followed you from the other side of the world, Jimin. I just want you to see me — not as a fan, but as someone who truly understands your art.”

(A message notification pops up on her phone from the competition group chat.)

Group Message:

“Tomorrow’s BTS Guest: Kanchan Mehra. Report to BigHit Studio 3 at 10 AM.”

(Panel 9: Kanchan covers her mouth in shock.)

Kanchan (softly):

“It’s me… I’ve been chosen.”

Scene 6: Midnight – Rooftop of the Dorm

(Panel 10: Kanchan stands under the stars, arms open wide.)

Kanchan (thinking):

“Tomorrow, I’ll speak to him. Even if it's just for a minute… I’ll let him know. Not with words — but with the dance that carries every beat of my heart.”

(Final Panel: A parallel shot — Jimin stands at his dorm balcony, looking at the same stars.)

Jimin (thinking):

“That girl… her eyes were different. Like she was carrying something bigger than just admiration.”
