     Jeon Jungkook was not like everybody else. It sounds quite cliche, but there's no other way to put it. Nobody else can do what he can. He figured out he was abnormal at age 13. He's now 17.

     He can see ghosts, but only when he's gone through their pain. That's why he never goes anywhere near graveyards. If he even so much as glances at a gravestone, he completely zones out and forgets about the real world. He goes into a trance where he witnesses the death of the buried. Most of the time, it's so much for him he faints and doesn't wake up for hours. He developed Coimetrophobia fairly quickly. I mean, wouldn't you too?

     Nobody ever took him seriously. At least not genuinely. They would care while he wasn't conscious, obviously. That's scary. But as soon as he was fine they turned their attention to something else going on in their lives.

     He would try to explain what he witnessed while he was out of it, on a whole different plane of existence, but people would dismiss it as a colorful imagination or a coping method. Hell, he's even been called schizophrenic. It's not like he could prove what he was seeing. Nothing actually ever took a toll on his body in the real world. In his nightmare-like episodes, he would sometimes get bruises or bleed, or sometimes even break something, but it was like a dream. Like it was all fictional. An extremely vivid dream.

     He didn't want it to be fictional so he could prove what he was experiencing, but he also didn't actually want to get hurt. His feelings were conflicting.

     Now after he was put through immense pain and suffering (though sometimes he'd experience a painless death) he would get to meet the now-dead. They never said much. But that's mostly because Jungkook didn't want to talk to them. He asked to leave immediately every time, to which most would let him. Emphasis on most, but we don't talk about those times.

     His normal life was completely turned upside down. And nobody would listen.

     However, his life was turned inside out (because if you flip it again it'd be right side up, and that's the opposite of what is about to happen) when he went on a little adventure with his friend.
