TRIGGER WARNINGS: vehicle crash, implied heavy injury, non-descriptive hospital stay

If you plastered Minjae's life onto the silver screen you might think the movie boring for the first thirty minutes. This section would cover his childhood all the way to his late teens. You would see the birth of his younger brother, Minjun, and their early life together; you would see him start his first day of school, and make his first best friend; you would see him grow into his broadening shoulders, participating in high school track meets and discovering a love for cooking.

A perfect little exposition before the story really begins to take off.

Thirty two minutes in: he's riding a bus with the rest of his teammates to their final track meet of the year.

Thirty three minutes in: a semi-truck is barreling down the road towards the intersection.

Thirty four minutes in: impact.

Minjae doesn't remember the crash. He doesn't remember being pulled from the wreckage, or driven to the hospital in a speeding ambulance. For months after the accident Minjae remained in a coma in the hospital; visited by his family often, but only barely there himself.

When he did finally come out of his coma it was to a family he did not recognize - at least, at first. Dealing with post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) meant that Minjae was slow to recover his memories. For some people it takes mere hours or days, but for Minjae it took weeks spanning into months.

Thankfully, his family was with him every step of the way, and Minjae was able to make a near full recovery.

Now, five years on from the crash and three years since he began university Minjae can say that he is mostly content with his life. He has a few close friends, he has his family, and - most importantly to him - he has his pictures.

Minjae is determined to remember every little thing, and to never forget again.

pretty version coming soon...

- Due to the accident and his subsequent strength and memory loss Minjae had to wait two and a half years to start university. He also developed a love (perhaps almost an obsession) with photography during and after his recovery, wanting to remember all the little things that he had previously forgotten.
- He doesn't know why but he has a decent level of popularity, mostly due to rumors and his good looks. Since he keeps to himself he often comes off as cold to others, and it doesn't help the rumors that circulate.
- LIKES: Warm days with clouds, red wine, his family (thought you would have to pull his teeth out for him to admit it), old photograph collections (from antique stores), ink-stained fingertips, cooking.
- DISLIKES: Torrential downpours, bright lights shining in his face, any strawberry flavored food or drink, crowded spaces, poor quality cooking ingredients, headaches.
