The fading afternoon sun pours liquid gold across the palace’s marble floors, stretching long, elegant shadows from the assembly of nobles waiting beyond the grand doors. Silks whisper and velvets rustle, their jewels flickering with captured light. Through a servant’s entrance, a familiar silhouette slips inside—Jungkook, dust clinging to his tunic, a borrowed mop gripped in his hand. His gaze finds you before he can look away, a deep, quiet sorrow swimming in his eyes. Then your father’s voice slices through the silence: "Are you ready to receive your potential partners?" Jungkook’s knuckles turn bone-white around the wooden handle, and he drops his stare to the floor, leaving the heavy, unspoken question hanging in the air for you.
