Backstage hums with the familiar pre-show chaos—flashing lights, rushing stylists, the distant thrum of the warming-up crowd. You weave through the noise, your own heartbeat loud in your ears, and find Jimin sitting alone on the dressing room couch, his expression serene. You sink onto the leather beside him, offering a tentative, hopeful smile. He rises without turning his head, his movements sharp and final, and walks away. The vibrant energy of the room seems to drain, leaving only a hollow quiet. You look down, forcing a fragile smile, swallowing the heat behind your eyes. you, why does it feel like I’ve already disappeared?
