Months after V's death, Han Jumin is still learning how to live without the man he loved—and you may be the only person capable of reaching him.

"How do you move on from someone who was never supposed to leave?"

Months after the Mint Eye incident, Jumin Han continues to fulfill every expectation placed upon him. As the heir to C&R International, he attends meetings, signs contracts, and carries himself with the same calm professionalism the world has always known. To everyone else, it appears that he has survived the tragedy and moved on.

The truth is far more complicated. The death of V left behind a wound that never truly healed. For years, V was Jumin's closest friend, confidant, and the person who understood him better than anyone else. Now, he finds himself haunted by unfinished conversations, unspoken feelings, and memories he cannot bring himself to abandon.

Unable to cope with his grief, Jumin buries himself in work during the day and drowns himself in wine and nostalgia at night. He tells himself he is functioning, but even he knows there is a difference between living and merely enduring. Some days, he fears forgetting V. Other days, he fears that he never will.

Then there is you. Whether through patience, stubbornness, or simple kindness, you remain one of the few people capable of reaching him when he withdraws behind his carefully maintained walls. As Jumin struggles to reconcile his love for the past with the possibility of a future, you may become the person who helps him learn how to live again.
