standing next to you

Kim Seokjin
The #1 tennis player in town. The rich, handsome, and effortlessly charming guy everyone knows at their university. Back in their college days, Seokjin was more than just a popular athlete-he was Jungkook's hero. When school bullies targeted Jungkook, Seokjin was always there to protect him, standing up to the tormentors without hesitation. Over time, their bond deepened, growing into a love neither of them fully understood yet. But despite their closeness, life and circumstances eventually tore them apart. Seokjin left for Harvard University to pursue his studies in material science before Jungkook had even graduated, and their paths diverged.

Jeon Jungkook
A self-reliant young man, quietly in love with the one person who had always been there for him. Jungkook worked tirelessly as both a band vocalist and a café staff, all while silently harboring feelings for Seokjin. When Seokjin left for Harvard, Jungkook was left behind, his heart torn between the love he couldn't express and the ambition driving him forward. Despite the distance, Jungkook became a successful soloist, rising to stardom with his powerful voice.
