Compassion Distorted

Intro 2 - Park Jimin

Park Jimin was born in Busan, South Korea on October 13, 1995, making him 20 today*. Jimin was born with the ability to see the two possible outcomes of major decisions. Jimin met JungKook in his second** year of high school at Seoul High School***. The two had a run-in when they had a class together in Algebra, and became fast friends since Jimin took a quick liking to Jeon JungKook. Jimin was friendly to the shy high schooler and the two became as close as brothers. About two months into knowing each other Jimin appeared in JungKook's maze. After getting to know him even more, Jimin also began to appear holding a cracked hand mirror. JungKook quickly became concerned for Jimin, and spent the rest of the semester trying to help his friend. JungKook soon realized that the cracked mirror represented Jimin's low self-esteem. He thought himself ugly and his friends would encourage this thought. JungKook became determined to help his friend with this issue. The two worked with each other, and there were days when Jimin appeared without his cracked mirror in JungKook's mind. JungKook even had a code phrase he said to Jimin to help encourage his friend, he would say "You're so short" to Jimin when he noticed that Jimin was down on himself, and if Jimin responded back as if he were insulted, that was a sign to JungKook that his friend had confidence that day.

Park Jimin shared the six friends that JungKook had during his high school years, and knew them through himself as well as JungKook. His plans for the future included pursuing dancing and singing, which were two passions of his. He was known in the group to always be dedicated to learning whatever dance he thought was cool at the time, and encouraging those around him, often deprecating himself in the process. He had a brother as well, Park JiHyun, whom JungKook reminded him of, helping the friendship. Jimin lived in the small room complex that JungKook and their friends lived in, also separated from his family. He is known for a smile able to cure the harshest disease and warm the coldest winter, and to have a heart for serving his friends. He has helped guide his friends with his knowledge of their paths and where they lead, and helps JungKook using it.
