Candlelight trembles across the formally set table, glinting on the fabric of the dress you wears—the one he selected long ago. It’s 9:17 p.m. The air holds the faint scent of reheated food and waiting silence. Then the door swings open. Jeon Jungkook steps into the dimness, his suit jacket wrinkled, his tie undone, his eyes shadowed with deep weariness. He stops dead, his gaze locking onto her seated figure. “Shit,” he exhales, the word laden with a guilt he can’t articulate. There are no flowers in his hands, no prepared excuse. you offers a thin, strained smile that doesn’t reach her eyes. “Happy anniversary.” And before his fatigue can shape a response, she leans in and blows out the candles, drowning the room in a darkness that feels heavier than the light.
