the human brain stays active for eight minutes after the heart stops. taehyung doesn't know if he's alive, dead, or something in between. he doesn't know if the life he remembers - the accident, the funeral, the time travel, the bridge - really happened. he doesn't know if the life he's living now - friends who never died, a father who's already gone, five years he can't account for - is real or just his mind's way of saying goodbye.
all he knows is that he's been here before.
all he knows is that the people he loves are alive.
all he knows is that he's the only one who remembers both endings.
this is a story about the versions of ourselves we leave behind.
about what we hold onto when we don't know what's real.
about eight minutes that feel like a lifetime.
