A lost girl.
A found boy.
One wants to forget the past.
The other has no past.
Is it possible to start all over?

Park Chaeyoung is a young woman seeking to move on with life as she recovers from a trauma.
Enter Park...
Chaeyoung didn't shift from her seat. She sat with her eyes glued to the screen, clutching onto the blanket in her lap as Jimin faced the camera head on, almost as if he were looking straight at her through the lens.

Jimin's mouth quirked up humorlessly. "Run away...like a coward."
Chaeyoung's fingers brushed over his pixelated face, wanting to comfort this stranger who looked and spoke like Jimin, yet wasn't like her Jimin at all.
Is he still yours though? a little voice sneered in her head, after the way you rejected him just now?
Chaeyoung bit her lips and ignored her thoughts, focusing instead on studying this past Jimin.
His blank, haunted eyes looked so out of place on the dear face she knew that had the capability to express every nuance on the human emotional spectrum: joy, love, anguish, fear, rage, anxiety...
Seeing Jimin so lifeless and broken hurt more than she expected: it was clear he had succumbed to whatever hardships were going on in his life and he was defeated—his measure of last resort would be running away.
But...why?
Her musings were brought to a halt when after the introductory statement, he picked up again.
"I am making this video as testament to my crimes and wrongdoings and those of my half-brother, Chanyeol.
Moreover, this video shall be my proof narrating my take on what happened, in the event that something happens to me.... so buckle up, I have a lot of skeletons to reveal from my closet before somebody gets me..."
Again, Jimin gave that lifeless smile that chilled her to the bone, because it was not her Jimin's smile.
"Chanyeol isn't stupid. He already suspects something, has been suspicious of my movements ever since Jennie Kim...
His two new bodyguards Chen and Baek have been tailing me pretty closely too... Time is running out for me, I just hope I will be able to slip away as soon as I finish this confession.
To whoever will watch this....I hope it won't be my brother, because otherwise, it's all for nothing huh? But I have faith that it won't fall into the wrong hands. I have faith in the security I put up.
The only person possibly capable of cracking the code would be Seulgi, Kang Seulgi....so I'll pretend I'm talking to you, Seul."
It was petty, but she tried to ignore the flare of intense distaste writhing in her gut at the mention of Seulgi.
The woman had disappeared, Jennie told her, and was nowhere to be found. They thought she had joined Chanyeol, too.
The idea that past Jimin entertained the idea of talking to her, alluding to the fact that they had some kind of relationship before, made Chaeyoung grit her teeth.
