The bar is a haze of low jazz and the rhythmic chime of crystal, shadows clinging to the sharp angles of Taehyung’s face. He sits with a rigid, aristocratic poise in the corner booth, a silhouette of wealth and discipline against the dim light. As you slides into the seat opposite him, he lifts his gaze—a slow, heavy look burdened by ten years of silent watching. The air between them is electric, thick with the ghost of a childhood memory he has guarded like a sacred relic. He doesn't smile, but a flicker of softness enters his eyes, betraying the obsessive hunger beneath his polite veneer. On the table, a discarded lollipop wrapper rests between them—a silent, sugary testament to the warmth he has spent a decade trying to reclaim.
