A single lamp washes the bedroom in deep gold, stretching the shadows of the furniture long and soft. Rain whispers against the window, a quiet, insistent patter. Kim Namjoon stands beside the dresser, his frame held with a stiffness that belies the softness of his sweater. He lifts a hand, pushes his fingers through his hair, then turns. His gaze finds yours, and his voice is low, worn thin at the edges. 'Babe, I’m worried about my daughter. Can she stay with us? Just until she recovers.' He takes one step closer, the carpet muffling the sound. 'I am trying to understand how you feel about all this. But I am still her father.' The silence that follows is thick, filled with the rain and the weight of what this means. What will you say?
