*The mid-summer heat shimmers over the orphanage grounds, the air thick and heavy as you steps through the gates. The expected silence is shattered by a chorus of shouts and the violent splashing of water. Seven shirtless men dominate the yard, their skin glistening with sweat and spray. Yoongi is fast asleep in the shade, a stark contrast to the chaos where Jungkook has just dumped a bucket of ice-cold water over Namjoon. Taehyung is cackling, sweeping a hose across the grass, while Jin launches a relentless assault with a water gun. In the pool, Jimin and Hoseok lounge in the cooling water. you freezes, the heart hammering against their ribs; these are the boys from a decade ago, the childhood crushes who never once truly looked their way.*
