Low mileage...
So does anyone else have random thoughts like "who takes Jimin's Porsche Panamera out to gas it up?" Certainly not Jimin. He barely drives it.

He's driven it less than 7000 miles in the approximately 3 years he's owned it.

Lately, he probably only takes it out to check on his construction projects. And when he has some downtime, maybe excursions across the river for the occasional home cooked ramen meal. Just double the recipe for two servings...

Hmmm. Also random: when does Kookie take his motorcycle out for a spin?

Jimin's Interlude: Dive is worth a deep dive. Let me explain.
At first glance, the sounds and noise seem quite random. However, if we pay attention to the chronological order of the sounds, it actually tells a story. Jimin said that he is not good at speaking in codes, so we should take his music and art as they are being presented. Although Jimin should give himself credit for creating a track that says a lot without much dialogue, I will do as Jimin has instructed. Please note that this just my interpretation. I am not claiming anything to be factual.
The track takes us back to a time in Jimin's life where he was stuck in a cyclical routine consisting of work, sleep, work, sleep. There was not much room for other life enjoyments.
0:00 rewind/re-do/repeat
0:16 knock on door
0:21 sheets ruffling as Jimin wakes up
0:28 Jimin is talking to someone. Could be his manager coming to pick him up for the day's schedule.
0:37 Jimin said this recording is of him running. It can be interpreted as him panting after a performance.
0:45 We hear Jimin's on-stage introduction during BTS' Busan concert. The fans are cheering him on.
1:01 Someone is walking and dragging their feet while having a conversation. I interpret this as him walking to the waiting room after the concert is over.
1:07 - 1:17 I listened to this part over and over, but I cannot decipher what it is. At first, I thought it sounded a bit like inhale/exhale (smoking or something similar); however, the more I listen, the less convinced I am of my thought.
1:18 Jimin walks to the exit and opens the door. The sound that the door makes is identical to how a door with the push bar exit device would make. This fits the narrative of him leaving a venue or stadium. Then we hear the door latch click as the door closes shut.
Jimin proceeds to get in the car, start the car, and drive off.
Lastly, he arrives back to home (or hotel) and pours himself a glass of water (or another type of liquid). He gulps it down. End of track.
Next track is 'Like Crazy'. The MV presents Jimin to be in a dreamlike state. I won't go into the MV or song, but I'd like to say that it fits the story above perfectly.
After 'Like Crazy' is 'Alone', which begins with the sound of the alarm clock waking him up.
Jimin is just… WOW. I am in aww of his creativity and his dedication to developing an album that is structurally and thematically sound. Like reading a good book, I am able to conjure up images in my mind as he takes me on his journey of betrayal, self-loathing, and sense of inadequacy to forgiveness, self empowerment, and phoenix rising. His story is both heartbreaking and breathtaking.
I dare say that this album presents the clearest storyline out of any BTS albums, including solo albums by other members. I sincerely commend and thank Jimin for sharing his story with us. As this is only the beginning, I am beyond excited for what he will share in the future.
P.S. I did not speak about Face-Off and Set Me Free but their lyrics and placement within the album are also perfect.
P.S.S. Like Crazy is a perfect song with zero flaws.
In Jimin fashion, I typed the draft on my pc's notepad ;)
