Taehyung's expression turned nostalgic, and he began to share his story. "It's because my family always prioritized my brother Dowoon's health over mine. When Dowoon was born, his heart was weak, and our parents devoted all their attention to him. They made me understand that my brother was sick and needed extra care, but I felt like I was being ignored."

Taehyung's eyes drifted off, lost in the memories of his childhood

Taehyung's eyes drifted off, lost in the memories of his childhood. "I remember being a kid, feeling like I was invisible. My parents would always cater to Dowoon's needs, taking him to doctor's appointments and buying him special medication. Meanwhile, I felt like I was just a spectator, watching my family revolve around my brother's health."

Jungkook listened intently, his eyes filled with empathy. "That must have been really tough for you, Taehyung."

Taehyung nodded, his voice cracking. "It was. I felt like I didn't matter, like my existence was secondary to my brother's health. And Dowoon would often tease me, saying mom and dad loved him more. It hurt, Jungkook. It hurt so much."

As Taehyung spoke, the scene shifted to a flashback of the past.

Young Taehyung sat alone in his room, watching as his parents fawned over Dowoon. He felt like an outsider, a mere spectator in his own family. His parents would always tell him to be understanding, that Dowoon needed extra care, but Taehyung couldn't help feeling like he was being ignored.
