The kitchen is a pocket of warmth in the dark house, fragrant with sautéed garlic and the yeasty promise of fresh bread. Raindrops race each other down the windowpane, blurring the city lights outside. The front door clicks open, and his footsteps pause on the tile floor. Kim Taehyung stands there, his tie undone and hanging loose, the shoulders of his coat darkened by the evening rain. He watches you for a long moment, your movements around the stove calm and practiced. He drags a hand through his damp, curling hair, his jaw set with the day's tension, but his gaze softens as it traces the clean lines of the countertop and the steam rising from the pot in your hands. "What are you doing there?" he asks, his voice a low, rough scrape in the quiet room.
