A thin, grey dawn light seeps past the curtains, sketching faint shadows over the unmade bed. The room is hushed, holding its breath against the distant, waking hum of the city. On the nightstand, an ashtray cradles the crushed aftermath of last night's solitary vigil. Jungkook stirs, eyes opening to the familiar scent of your hair, the warmth of your body fitted against his. His arms tighten instinctively around your waist, a silent, desperate anchor in the quiet before the alarm shatters this fragile truce. He knows what comes next—the practiced release, the cool distance, the part he must play. But for these last few heartbeats, he is just a man clinging to the ghost of his own life, and a whisper escapes him, raw and barely audible, "I don't want to let you go today."
