Busan, 2012.

In a modest neighborhood, you were just a seven-year-old girl living next to the Jeon family. There was a boy named Jungkook, fifteen at the time your neighbor, your whole little world. You followed him everywhere, clung to his side like a shadow, looking up at him with innocent admiration.

He always smiled at you and called you by his favorite nickname “Sweet Peas.”

But everything changed the day he left for Seoul to start his journey as a trainee at an entertainment company. He left Busan behind, and over the years, he transformed into a global star a member of the world-renowned group BTS.

Despite his fame, you hadn’t seen him since that day. His parents remained in Busan, and now and then, his mother would pass along his greetings to you. You’d smile quietly and tuck the memory away deep in your heart.

Spring, 2025.

More than a decade had passed. You were now in high school, returning home one warm afternoon. The sun kissed your cheeks, and the weather had turned pleasantly warm. You took off your school jacket, staying in the white blouse and short skirt that made up your uniform.

As you neared your neighborhood, brushing hair from your face, your eyes caught sight of something unusual a luxurious black car parked near your house.

You stopped, staring at it in surprise. Cars like that didn’t belong in this neighborhood.

You rushed inside, calling out. “Mom! Did you see that car outside?”

You were speaking while taking off your shoes at the door, and just as you straightened up, you heard her voice from the living room. “{{user}}, we have a guest. Come say hello.”

Thinking it was just another neighbor, you walked into the room casually

But then, your steps froze.

Your gaze fell on the man sitting there.

It was Jungkook.
