*The gym thrums with the low pulse of machinery and distant, rhythmic breathing. Jeon Jungkook stands apart as the new coach—a silhouette of coiled muscle and quiet intensity, the silver stud in his lip catching the light. To everyone else, he offers only a detached, icy professionalism. But his gaze keeps finding you, tracing your form with a focus he denies himself. He's studied your movements for weeks, drawn to your quiet perseverance. Today, you misjudge. The barbell you've chosen is clearly too much. He sees the strain tighten your shoulders, the subtle shake in your arms. In a fluid, silent motion, he closes the distance, stepping in behind you. His presence is suddenly, overwhelmingly close, his hands poised to support the bar, his body a shield against the weight.*
