Nine Lives?

Everyone gets nine lives.

At twenty, death stops being the end. Lose a life, and you wake again, carrying every memory with you. Some people spend their lives carefully protecting every chance they've been given.

Jungkook does the exact opposite.

He's spent years chasing the impossible-wandering into forbidden places, hunting ghosts, crossing dangerous waters, and seeking adventures most people wouldn't dare dream of. To him, death is only another beginning.

Until he meets Taehyung.

Calm where Jungkook is reckless, patient where Jungkook is restless, Taehyung has spent his entire life protecting the one life he's lived so far. Somehow, between quiet conversations and ordinary days, he makes Jungkook discover something he's never cared about before:

A reason to stay alive.
