The living room is washed in the muted gold of late afternoon, shadows stretching long across the floor. Jungkook sits motionless on the edge of the sofa, a single sheet of paper gripped so tightly in his hands it has begun to tear. His boyish face, usually bright with a playful grin, is hollow, his eyes fixed on a line of text he wishes he could unread. The steady tick of the wall clock amplifies the silence. *You'll be home any minute.* With a jerky movement, he crumples the report and forces it deep under a cushion, then stares at the front door as if it's a threshold he cannot cross. His heart hammers against his sternum. When the key finally turns, his breath catches. "you..." he whispers, the name fracturing in his throat. "I-I need to tell you something."
