If fans recall, around late February this year, rumors about V participating in a personal project related to acting spread widely across social media. The speculation originated from a post by one of his fans on Twitter, who shared that she had received a photo from a friend. In the image, Taehyung was seen walking with a girl and appeared to be filming soмєтнing.
Specifically, the original poster (OP) wrote: “Taehyung filmed soмєтнing at a high school today. A friend told me. (In the photo) He was wearing a school uniform and a backpack. In the photo, there was someone stood next to him dressed in a school uniform like a female student.”
Shortly afterward, several кσяєαn netizens who happened to spot V that day also shared additional long-distance photos, showing that he was indeed filming with a girl wearing a school uniform, just as the OP had described. As the news spread widely, the OP eventually decided to share the photo she had received, although she carefully noted: “I was worried about spoilers, so I planned to post this later. But since everyone who knows already knows, I'm just posting it now!”
At the time, many wondered whether this was for a music video, a commercial, or even a new film project. In particular, expectations for V’s return to acting in a project beyond Hwarang—nearly 10 years ago—have always been high, leading fans to hope that it could be a movie or a short film. They were also eager to see him portray a “school heartthrob” image on screen.
Finally, the answer came more than a month after V was spotted filming with a female actress. On April 8, the official social media accounts of Compose Coffee—where V serves as a brand ambαѕѕador—shared a poster for a short film titled That Night, Our Decaf, confirming V as the male lead. In the poster, he is seen wearing a school uniform similar to the one in the previously leaked photos.
However, what drew even more attention from fans was the identity of the actress starring alongside him. This time, she not only caught attention for her fresh and beautiful visuals but also for her name. The actress credited on the poster is Park Jimin—leaving many fans confused and others stunned by the striking coincidence with BTS Jimin - his close friend and bandmate.
One fan exclaimed: “No way... bro, what are the odds. OMG, soulmates in every universe.” Meanwhile, others were equally ѕнσ¢кed, saying: "Wait… the actress starring with Taehyung is named Park Jimin. I don’t believe that’s a coincidence", "You're kidding me. Vmin community rising fast", "vmin are literally real in every universe this is crazyfhrjh", "This is actually insane. What if there'll be a kiss scene? V kissing Jimin?", "I really thought it was 95z Park Jimin. My fangirl brain is playing tricks on me!", "ur actually joking LMFAOOOOOOOOOO", "should have kept this info from me I am jinja insane",...
Earlier, on April 7, Compose Coffee had already teased the project with a 15-second teaser carrying a romantic caption: “That night, the story that belongs only to us begins.” In the teaser, V and the female lead play two strangers who coincidentally meet in front of a Compose Coffee store while ordering the same drink and fall in love at first sight.
The full short film will be released on April 10, exclusively via Compose Coffee. Stay tuned to watch V’s romantic story and his first-ever “school heartthrob” role on screen!
