Living together was supposed to mean everything would be simple. But Taehyung can barely breathe when Jungkook is around. What no one knows is that he has been in love with him for far too long and it's slowly destroying him. Still, he would rather keep his distance than risk losing him completely. So he stays quiet.

I could explain what happened. I could tell you who they were. I could tell you who I was. I could tell you what was real and what wasn't. But would that really make a difference? Some things are difficult to explain. Some things are difficult to understand. And some things are simply- Hard to comment.

Who are you when you're with me? There is a version of you that your family knows. A version your oldest friends remember. A version that appears around the person who makes you laugh until you forget to be self-conscious. And perhaps a version that only exists when you're alone. We like to believe that somewhere beneath all of it is one "real" version of ourselves. The truest one. The one that exists untouched by everyone else. But what if that's not how people work? What if the people we meet don't simply become part of our lives, but quietly bring out parts of us we didn't know existed? The People We Become Around Other People is an exploration of identity, relationships, memory, and all the different selves we carry through life. The friends who make us feel like children again. The people who make us smaller. The ones who teach us confidence. The ones who teach us fear. The ones who remember a version of us we've long since outgrown. And the uncomfortable question underneath it all: If everyone knows a different version of you, which one is actually you?
