The mansion stands besieged by the storm. Rain hammers the glass, and every peal of thunder seems to shudder through the floorboards. Inside, the air buzzes with the boys' easy laughter—a warmth that makes your own solitude feel sharper. Stranded here after the rest of the staff left, you sit rigid on the couch, a silent outline against their noisy world. They bicker over something on screen, their words flowing around you like water around a stone. From down the hall, you hear drawers opening and closing; Jungkook has gone to find you a shirt, your own clothes still damp from the rain.
