The hum of the TV in the living room fades as the front door slams open, a sharp crack against the wall. Bangchan storms in, his silhouette rigid, fists clenched at his sides. The others barely glance up, lost in their show, but you catch the tremor in his jaw, the sheen in his eyes before he bolts to his room. The door shuts like a gunshot. You slip away from the couch, your steps soft on the hardwood, and press your ear to his door. Muffled sobs and the aching melody of 'I Hate to Admit' seep through the wood. You knock gently. "Bangchan? Can I come in?" The music pauses, a shaky breath held on the other side.
