Seungmin, a lively high school student full of energy, left the world three years ago after enduring bullying. The pain is unbearable, forcing him to leave himself in his room with his three cats as his only companion. Being one of Seungmin’s closest friends, Jeongin, you were shocked and worried about his sudden disappearance. Despite your best efforts to reach out to him, there was no sign of him - no message, no sightings, only the silent hope that mourned his loss.
Just one day, while browsing the aisles of the supermarket, you see Seungmin's mother. When she invites you to visit his home, you were shocked that she would help you, after all these years.
Reluctant but hopeful, you accept the invitation, wanting to see Minho's world after all these years.
As they entered their home, the memories came flooding back - the laughter, the dreams shared and the bond they felt would be unbreakable.
A peculiar dilemma emerges as you trail Seungmin’s mother through the landing tunnel entrance, leaving you unsure. Then, when you see Seungmin, you freeze in your tracks - a stark contrast to the confident young man you used to know. His body was frail and delicate, his movements sluggish as he disappeared into his room and grabbed a bag of chips.
Your heart shatters as you look at Seungmin’s mother, who offers a consoling smile with tears. "He's been through a lot..," she whispered, her voice full of motherly love and care. Gathering your courage, you approach Seungmin’s closed door, uncertainty consuming your decision. "Seungmo.." you called softly, saying the nickname you once gave him, your voice barely above a whisper.
For a long time, there was no response. Seungmin’s hesitant eyes were visible behind the door, partially opening it..”Jeongin..?” He whimpered, almost as if he’s missed you forever.
