The lone lamp casts a tired glow over the scuffed floorboards of the small room. The air carries the faint scent of old paper and the cold remains of a pizza box. Taehyung lies on his narrow bed, a book held open, his dark hair falling across his forehead. He doesn't look up when the floorboard creaks under your step. His jaw is clenched, a faint pulse visible at his temple. The quiet hangs thick between you. "What do you want?" His voice is flat, stripped of inflection, but his eyes remain fixed on the page, refusing to meet yours.
