KIM TAEHYUNG — 29 YEARS OLD
Appearance:
Tall (6'1"), broad shoulders, long fingers
Dark hair, usually pushed back
Sharp features, deep-set eyes
Always looks tired in a beautiful way
Dresses in blacks, grays, muted tones
Rarely smiles; when he does, it doesn't reach his eyes
Occupation:
Former celebrated photographer—disappeared from the art scene three years ago after a scandal. Now does sporadic freelance work and shoots strangers at night for "personal projects."
Background:
Only child; parents divorced when he was 12
Father died when he was 19—has been alone since
Rose quickly in Seoul's art photography scene (age 22-26)
Fell from grace at 26 due to scandal with model Han Minho
Ex-lover/mentor Kang Seojun (35) publicly betrayed him during scandal
Developed emotional numbness as defense mechanism
When Taehyung sees something beautiful, he needs to capture it...to understand it completely, possess it through his lens. He doesn't see this as wrong; he sees it as devotion. With Jungkook, this obsession becomes both his salvation and his greatest fear.
JEON JUNGKOOK — 23 YEARS OLD
Appearance:
Soft features, round eyes, delicate but not fragile
Lean build, slightly shorter than Taehyung
Dark hair, slightly overgrown
Small scar on right eyebrow (childhood accident)
Wears oversized hoodies, worn jeans, comfortable clothes
Has a warm smile that doesn't always reach his eyes
Bites lower lip when nervous
Occupation:
Part-time photography student at small arts college. Works night shifts (10 p.m. - 6 a.m.) at 24-hour convenience store in Hongdae to pay his own tuition and rent.
Background:
Comes from upper-middle-class family
Father (Jeon Minseok, 52): Successful businessman, emotionally absent
Mother (Jeon Suyeon, 50): Depressed housewife, loves him but can't express it
Learned early to be "easy to love"—don't need too much, don't make noise
Dropped out of Seoul National University (business major) at 21
Re-enrolled in small arts college for photography at 23
Ex-boyfriend Lee Hoseok (25) cheated on him, gaslit him for 8 months
Refuses parents' money out of pride—wants to prove he can survive alone
Jungkook has spent his whole life invisible. When Taehyung looks at him through that camera lens, he feels real for the first time. He becomes addicted to that feeling even when it starts to hurt, even when he knows it's not entirely healthy. Because being consumed feels better than being ignored.

How are you all ?
Taehyung is the artist who forgot how to feel until Jungkook made him remember.
Jungkook is the boy who never felt seen until Taehyung's lens found him.
Together, they are:
Magnetic and dangerous
Tender and controlling
Healing and hurting
Obsessed and devoted
Their love is not clean. It's messy, complicated, and requires work. But it's real.
And sometimes, real is more important than perfect.
The fluorescent lights always hummed at this hour.
A low, constant buzz that filled the empty convenience store like white noise.
Jungkook had worked here for eight months now, and he'd learned to tune it out. The hum, the silence, the loneliness...all of it became background music to his life.
He wiped down the counter for the third time.
Not because it was dirty.
Because his hands needed something to do.
Three more hours until his shift ended. Three more hours of restocking shelves that didn't need restocking, straightening products that were already straight, smiling at customers who barely looked at him
His phone buzzed in his pocket.
Jungkook's heart did that stupid thing...that little jump of hope as he pulled it out.
Maybe it was Jimin. Maybe it was someone asking how he was doing. Maybe....
Mom: Jungkook, have you been eating properly? Your father says the photography program is a waste. You should reconsider coming back to SNU.
Jungkook stared at the screen.
Not "how are you."
Not "we miss you."
Just... that.
Jeon Jungkook
(He typed quickly)
I'm fine, Mom. I'm happy with my choice💬
He started at it for a moment and deleted the text
Jeon Jungkook
(Typed again) I'm eating well. Don't worry about me💬
His thumb hovered over send.
Jeon Jungkook
(Then he added) How are you? How's your health?💬
She wouldn't answer the question. She never did. But he always asked anyway.
Jeon Jungkook
[Maybe one day she'll actually tell me] ....

How is the starting???

First Glance.
Jeon Jungkook
[Maybe one day she'll actually tell me] ....
He shoved the phone back in his pocket and moved to the ramen aisle. Started straightening the packets even though they were already perfectly aligned.
Shin Ramyun. Neoguri. Jin Ramen.
Labels facing forward. Everything neat. Everything in its place.
If he kept the store perfect, maybe he could ignore how messy his life felt.
When was the last time he ate? Yesterday morning? He couldn't remember. There was a perfectly good meal in the staff fridge... instant rice and soup he'd bought with his employee discount but he kept forgetting to heat it up.
Jeon Jungkook
[I'll eat after the shift]
He told himself.
He always said that.
He rarely did.
Jungkook moved to the drink coolers next, checked that all the bottles faced forward. Everything had to be perfect. If customers walked in and saw even one thing out of place, they might complain. And if they complained, his manager might notice. And if his manager noticed-
Jeon Jungkook
(Stop. You're spiraling again!)
He took a breath. Let it out slowly.
His therapist....well, the school counselor he'd seen exactly twice before deciding he couldn't afford the time had taught him that.
"When your thoughts start racing, just breathe. Ground yourself."
Jeon Jungkook
(I'm here. I'm okay. This is just a job. This is just one night.)
Jungkook straightened immediately, pulling his smile into place... The one he'd practiced until it looked natural.
The word died in his throat.
A man stood in the doorway.
And Jungkook forgot how to breathe.
