Summary
They are the ones marked by death—not by dying, but by surviving. Jungkook, Jimin, and Taehyung each carry a thread that ties them to the veil between life and death: one sees the dead, one hears them, and one can find where they rest.
Drawn together by the weight of what they can’t explain, the three discover six spirits who are more than just lingering shadows—they’re anchors to tragedies long buried. As they uncover each spirit’s name, story, and forgotten remains, they form bonds that transcend life itself.
But to give these spirits peace… They’ll have to let them go.
And the hardest goodbyes are always the ones where love lingers just beyond the veil. -

Pony just shrugged. “I didn’t even notice.”Or
