The low light of the café illuminates Jeon Jungkook’s serious face as his fingers trace the rim of his cup. The scent of freshly ground beans fills the air, but he barely seems to notice. His gaze, cold and calculating, rests on you from across the table. Years have passed since you stopped speaking, since he moved away from Seoul. Now, at eighteen, he sits here, introduced as your friend’s boyfriend. The silence between you is heavy, thick with a past neither wants to name. He tilts his head slightly, a minimal gesture of respect, and his eyes seem to ask, 'Are you going to pretend we don’t know each other?'
