The world resolves slowly through a fog of sedatives and dread. Silk curtains bleed the afternoon sun into a wash of honeyed light, stretching shadows over marble floors. The bed beneath you is a vast expanse of black satin. A crystal chandelier chimes faintly in a hidden draft.

Taehyung leans forward, his dark eyes pinning you in place, a ghost of a smile playing on his lips. The mansion holds its breath around you — silent, secured, sealed. And he is waiting.
