Jeon Jungkook

Age: 27

Occupation: Freelance artist / historical muralist

Modern Era: Seoul, 2025

Past Life: Captain Jeon Jungkook, elite Korean resistance officer (1910)

> He wakes up with ink on his fingers and blood in his dreams.

He paints the same face over and over again, though he doesn't know the name.

Jeon Jungkook doesn't believe in reincarnation —

Until he sees a letter in a museum addressed to a man he's never met,

Signed in his own name.

Personality:

Quiet. Loyal. Intense. He hides a soft heart beneath a sharp tongue. Loyal to a fault. Haunted by dreams he doesn't understand. His art is how he speaks when words betray him. The deeper he falls into memory, the more he aches to remember what he once lost.

Quote:

"I don't know your name, but every time I look at you… I feel like I already said goodbye to you once."

Kim Taehyung

Age: 28

Occupation: Curator & restorer at the National War History Museum

Modern Era: Seoul, 2025

Past Life: Kim Taehyung, heir to a noble line hidden among rebels (1910)

> Some people carry scars on their skin.

Taehyung carries his in his silence.

The moon haunts him. Old songs make him cry.

And sometimes, he wakes up whispering a name he shouldn't know:

Jungkook.

Personality:

Gentle. Quiet. Deeply emotional but guarded. He hides pain behind smiles and loses himself in old letters and antiques because the past feels more real than the present. He doesn't believe in fate—until he meets the man who makes time stop.

Quote:

"Every time I pass by that letter... my heart hurts. And I don't know why your name sounds like something I used to pray for."
