"I am fading away, and no one is noticing."

......

The low hum of the airplane engines filled the air as Jungkook settled into his seat, gazing out the window at the familiar sights of Busan shrinking beneath him. The weight of the past lingered in his chest, a mix of emotions swirling as the plane taxied down the runway. America awaited him, a land of opportunities and new beginnings, but the echoes of his journey were etched in the memories of the city he was leaving behind.

The plane ascended into the sky, carrying Jungkook away from the familiar landscapes of Busan. As the city disappeared beneath a blanket of clouds, he felt a mixture of anticipation and apprehension about the life that awaited him across the ocean.

The rhythmic hum of the engines became a backdrop to the memories that flooded Jungkook's mind. His thoughts drifted to his late mother, a woman who had been both a source of comfort and pain in his life.

In the quiet moments of the flight, Jungkook closed his eyes, allowing the memories to surface. He recalled the warmth of his Maa's embrace, the way she used to pamper him with affection and care. Her gentle words echoed in his mind, soothing him like a lullaby during the stormy nights of his childhood.

"Jungkook, my little bunny," she would say, a term of endearment that had stuck with him over the years. The memory of her smile and the softness in her voice provided a bittersweet comfort as he embarked on this journey alone.

Yet, intertwined with the sweetness were the bitter moments of his past. Memories of school days haunted by bullies who targeted him for being different, for his fragile demeanor that stood out among the other boys. The taunts and jeers echoed in his ears, a relentless soundtrack to his early years.

Jungkook's gaze turned inward as he recalled the days he spent hiding his pains, both physical and emotional, from his Maa. He didn't want her to worry, didn't want her to bear the burden of his struggles. Instead, he chose to carry the weight silently, a decision that forged a resilience within him but left scars on his tender heart.

His mind wandered to the bullies who tormented him, faces etched with cruelty that still haunted his dreams. They mocked him for his sensitivity, for the tears he tried to hide, and for the gentle spirit that set him apart. The wounds inflicted by their words ran deep, leaving scars that no time could fully erase.

Yet, amid the shadows of his past, a beacon of light emerged in the form of Mr. and Mrs. Choi, his neighbors who became the unexpected guardians of his heart. The Chois had witnessed his struggles, saw beyond the fragile exterior to the resilient spirit within. They extended a helping hand when Jungkook needed it most.

The scene shifted to the Choi household, a place that became a refuge for Jungkook after the devastating loss of his mother. The warmth of their care, the genuine concern in their eyes, provided a solace that he hadn't known since his grandmother's passing.

Mr. Choi, with his kind eyes and reassuring presence, became a father figure for Jungkook. Mrs. Choi, a beacon of maternal warmth, enveloped him in a love that transcended blood ties. Together, they created a semblance of family for a boy who had lost everything.

Jungkook vividly remembered the day he hesitantly stepped into their home, carrying the weight of grief on his shoulders. The Chois, without hesitation, embraced him into their lives, offering not just shelter but genuine love and understanding.
