Return to Forgotten Lives
Episode~1
Seoul National University looked quiet that morning.
Tall buildings stood like silent witnesses.
Old trees lined the roads, their leaves moving slowly with the wind.
Students walked past in groups, laughing, talking, rushing to class.
Yet something about the air felt… heavy.
As if the university was hiding secrets beneath its calm surface.
A boy stepped out of the parking area.
He was wearing a soft grey hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers.
A thin silver chain rested on his collarbone.
His hair was slightly long, falling over his eyes when the wind moved.
But his beauty was sharp—quiet, calm, and impossible to miss.
he adjusted his bag on his shoulder and started walking toward his class.
jimin
(thinking):
Another long day…
His eyes fell on something near the edge of the road.
The bird lay on the ground, its wings trembling.
Jimin slowly walked closer.
Its blue feathers shimmered strangely under the sunlight.
jimin
(thinking):
Is it injured?
He didn’t move.
Didn’t touch it.
He just stood there… watching.
He looked around quickly.
His heart started beating faster.
jimin
(thinking):
Did I imagine that?
Slowly, he looked back at the same spot.
The bird was there again.
Jimin’s fingers tightened around his bag strap.
jimin
“…You’re still here?”
The bird tilted its head.
For a second, everything went silent.
The bird flew straight toward him.
It passed very close to his face, the wind brushing his skin.
Shock ran through his body.
Fear followed right after.
A voice came from behind.
Voice:
“Jimin… why are you standing here like that?”
Tall.
Broad shoulders.
Confident posture.
He wore a black jacket, dark jeans, and boots.
His bag hung lazily on one shoulder.
The kind of handsome that annoyed people.
He looked straight at Jimin.
Boy:
“Class is about to start.”
He paused, eyes scanning Jimin’s face.
Jimin stared at him for a second.
Then his expression hardened.
Jimin turned away immediately and walked past him.
Didn’t explain.
Didn’t slow down.
Just left.
The boy stood there, watching Jimin walk away.
Boy (muttering):
“…Unbelievable.”
Boy:
“Every single time.”
Boy:
“He ignores me like I don’t exist.”
But his eyes stayed fixed on Jimin’s back.
Something unreadable flickered in them.
The blue bird stood silently.

I am again with another story.
Author
soon I complete first story also.
Episode~2
A boy stood a little away from the parking area.
Hands inside the pockets of his black hoodie.
Calm posture. Sharp eyes.
Like he was waiting for someone important.
The morning sun softly touched his pale skin.
Ash-brown hair fell over his eyes.
A silver chain rested on his collarbone.
Black jeans. White sneakers.
Effortlessly cool.
Suga
(thinking):
Why are they so late…
[Sound: Engine approaching]
A luxurious black car entered through the main gate.
Smooth. Expensive. Powerful.
Suga
(looking at the car):
“…Finally.”
Three extremely handsome boys stepped out.
First—broad shoulders, playful eyes, confident smile.
Simple white shirt, but it looked expensive on him.
Jungkook.
Second—soft features, warm eyes, pastel hoodie.
His smile felt like sunshine.
J-Hope.
Last—tall, calm, strong presence.
Sharp jawline. Deep dimples.
He adjusted his watch slowly.
Like he owned the place.
RM.
jungkook
(from distance, waving):
“Yoooo! Suga!”
Suga
(small smile, waving back):
“Morning.”
The three boys walked toward him.
jungkook
(hits Suga’s shoulder lightly):
“Why are you standing here like a bodyguard, huh? Waiting for us?”
Suga
(shrugs):
“Yeah. Someone has to make sure you idiots reach class.”
jhope
(laughing):
“Aww, you care about us?”
Suga
(rolling eyes):
“Don’t flatter yourself.”
RM
(looking at Suga closely):
“You look irritated. Something happened?”
Suga
(looks away):
“Nothing.”
jungkook
(raising eyebrow):
“Liar. Your face says everything.”
They started walking toward the building.
jhope
(teasing):
“So… who ruined your mood this early?”
jungkook
(instantly):
“Again?”
Suga
(annoyed):
“I just asked how he was. That’s all.
He didn’t even look at me.
Just ignored me and walked away.”
jhope
(frowning):
“That’s cold.”
Suga
(clenching jaw):
“It’s not the first time.”
RM
(calm voice):
“Forget it, Yoongi. Let him be.”
jungkook
(smirking):
“Exactly. The whole college is crazy about us anyway—except those three.”
jhope
(laughing):
“True. Admirers everywhere.”
Suga
(dry laugh):
“Lucky us.”
They stopped outside their class.
The door was open.
The professor was already inside.
[Inside – Class goes silent]
professor
(adjusting glasses):
“….”
Before he could say anything—
No permission.
No apology.
Students (whispering):
“Here they come…”
“The kings of the college.”
“Late again…”
The professor stared.
But stayed silent.
Suga
(pulls chair, sits):
…
jungkook
(leans back, bored):
“Another boring lecture.”
jhope
(whispering):
“At least pretend to care.”
RM
(opening notebook):
“Focus.”
Suga stared ahead…
But his mind drifted.
Without realizing,
Suga looked toward the window.
Episode~3
The classroom was already half full.
Soft morning light slipped through the tall windows.
Wooden desks glowed warmly.
Laughter. Whispers. Phone screens lighting up faces.
And suddenly—
Something felt wrong.
Jimin’s steps were slow.
His usually neat hair was slightly messy.
His sharp eyes looked distant… unsettled.
jimin
(thinking):
It was real… I know it was.
He took his seat near the window and exhaled deeply.
jimin
(thinking):
Calm down.
IU and Jin entered together.
IU
(noticing immediately):
“…Jimin?”
She walked toward him, concern clear on her face.
IU
“Why do you look like you saw a ghost?”
jin
(leaning closer, squinting):
“Yeah… something’s off.
Did you even sleep last night?”
Jimin looked down at his hands.
IU
(arms crossed):
“Okay, no.
This is scary. Talk.”
jimin
(quietly):
“Something weird happened… outside.”
jin
(eyes widening):
“W-Weird how?”
jimin
(hesitating):
“I saw a blue bird… in the parking area.”
jimin
“It was injured.
Trying to fly… but couldn’t.”
IU
(half-smiling):
“And that scared you?”
jimin
(quickly):
“No.
It disappeared.”
IU
(blinking):
“…Disappeared?”
jimin
(nodding):
“One second it was there.
The next—gone.
I checked everywhere.”
Jin stopped smiling completely.
jimin
(voice lower):
“It came back.
Standing in the same place.
Like nothing happened.”
jin
(swallowing):
“Standing… how?”
jimin
“Like it was watching me.”
IU
(laughs softly, waving hand):
“Jimin, you’re imagining things.
Maybe you’re sleepy.”
But Jin’s face had already turned pale.
jin
(whispering):
“A blue bird…
Disappearing… reappearing…”
jin
(grabbing Jimin’s sleeve):
“That’s not normal.
That’s how horror stories start.”
IU
(rolling eyes):
“Oh my god, Jin.
Not everything is a ghost.”
jin
(panicking):
“My grandma said spirits often appear as animals!”
IU
“Your grandma also thinks smartphones steal souls.”
(memory flashes):
The bird flying straight at his face.
The cold air brushing past him.
That strange feeling—
Like something passed through him.
jimin
(thinking):
I felt it…
jin
Leaning closer, whispering):
“Did it look at you?
Like… really look at you?”
jin
Almost screaming):
“I KNEW IT!
It’s a ghost!
A campus ghost!”
IU
(covering Jin’s mouth):
“STOP IT!
You’ll scare him more!”
Professor enter in the class
All students quite and focus on professor
professor
Let's start the lecture
Four familiar figures walked in.
Suga.
Jungkook.
J-Hope.
RM.
Students (whispering):
“They’re late again…”
“As usual.”
“The evil gang…”
jin
(peeking nervously):
“Why do they always enter like villains?”
The four walked in confidently.
Unbothered. Untouchable.
professor
(stopping mid-sentence):
…
their eyes moved across the class—
jimin
(instantly looking away):
…
jungkook
(smirking, whispering):
“There he is.”
Suga said nothing and walked to his seat.
jhope
(under breath):
“…Awkward.”
professor
(clearing throat):
“Nice of you gentlemen to join us.”
jungkook
(smiling innocently):
“Traffic, mam”
IU
(whispering):
“See?
No ghosts.
Just idiots.”
Jimin stared at his notebook, gripping his pen tightly.
Deep inside, one thought echoed—
What if it wasn’t imagination?
What if something had already begun…
And I was part of it now?
