Whether he's hosting campus events, leading student organizations, or sharing glimpses of his exciting life on social media, Taehyung is always at the center of the action.Yet, behind his dazzling exterior lies a more complex reality. Raised by emotionally unavailable and narcissistic parents, Taehyung's life has been marked by a longing for the affection and validation that has always eluded him. His parents, absorbed in their own needs and social status, have left Taehyung to navigate his emotional landscape largely on his own. This upbringing has instilled in him a deep-seated craving for external approval, often masked by his outwardly confident and exuberant demeanor. As Taehyung juggles his busy social life and burgeoning career ambitions, he grapples with the challenge of reconciling his need for validation with his quest for genuine connection and self-worth.                                                                                                                               Hyunwoo kim, a successful lawyer who is preoccupied with his career and public image.

Taehyung walked through the bustling campus, his laughter and energy masked a growing unease. The applause and accolades he received felt increasingly hollow against the backdrop of his childhood scars. Back in his dorm, amidst the quiet solitude, he grappled with the realization that no amount of social success or external validation could fill the void left by his parents' emotional neglect. With the weight of his unmet needs pressing on him, Taehyung lay awake, contemplating the journey ahead. He knew that beyond the excitement and superficial connections, he needed to confront his inner struggles and seek a deeper, more authentic sense of self-worth.
