So let's just play pretend and find a secret place,
When the world around us says that we should act our age.
The day is gonna come when there's no time left to waste.
But we'll never grow up, I say we hide away...

As a child, everything seemed so much simpler. The only thing on your mind was what to play next, typically speaking. When you had no friends around, you also had the seemingly magical ability to come up with an imaginary friend. That's what Naomi Calloway did, as a child, anyway. She imagined a boy, named Suho and his dog Yul, and they played lots of games together, and made even more memories. He was there for her for everything - the good, the bad, and everything in-between. They both thought it would last forever...
Unfortunately, that's not how life works. For most imaginary friends, their demise comes as a child ages, matures, and slowly forgets about them. What happens to them, you ask? They slowly start to disappear as their friend thinks about them less and less, fading into obscurity in the deep recesses of their friend's mind. This happens until they're nothing more than a mere memory, and by that time, it's too late. They're gone, and it is incredibly rare for them to ever come back. As a matter of fact, it's nothing short of a miracle for them to survive such a bleak fate.
But that's not the only way things can ever go. Every now and again, on extremely rare occasion, an imaginary friend will get exponentially lucky - if there's a friend that keeps a youthful spirit, their imaginary friend will live on, and continue to grow with them, even though they're no longer consciously aware of the imaginary friend's presence. Though it is lonely, it's oftentimes a much less cruel fate, after all, right? Well...
There's just one more stipulation. Eventually, the imaginary friend will grow enough to become his or her own independent person, and will no longer be imaginary - for a brief time. Typically, they're finally able to break free from their seemingly invisible state after something groundbreaking happens. Usually, this comes in the form of sheer luck, with the imaginary friend's person somehow stumbling upon something - a random item, deja-vu like experience, etc., for example - that causes an abnormally huge rush of nostalgia for them, almost as if they're transported back in time, even if just for a very brief moment. From that point on, Suho not only has to figure things out for themselves, and learn how to now function as an adult, but also how to reunite with their old friend - and get them to accept them back into their life. If they do, the imaginary friend becomes human permanently, even should they later decide to part ways later on; if not? They suffer the same fate as they would have under normal circumstances.
So, what will happen when Suho has finally become a human? Will Naomi accept Suho, or reject him? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain - for Suho it's a race against time.
