Fluorescent lights hum steadily overhead, bleaching the hospital corridor in a sterile, pale glow. You stand near the emergency room doors, the sharp scent of antiseptic hanging in the air. The double doors slide open with a soft hiss. Taehyung steps out, a clipboard held firmly in one hand, a nurse walking beside him. His white coat is pristine, his expression unreadable. His dark eyes sweep the hallway, pause on you for one suspended heartbeat—then drift away as if you were a ghost. He continues down the hall, his voice low and clinical, never looking back. It’s a cold, deliberate dismissal, but you know the warmth he conceals. What game is he playing, Taehyung?
