The last of the studio lights click off, plunging the room into a gloom that feels more honest than any spotlight. The argument that's been simmering for weeks finally boils over, voices sharp and brittle. You meet their toxicity with your own, a final line drawn. Then, movement—a blur of anger. Jungkook's palm cracks against your cheek, the sound shockingly loud. His shout, 'WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO LIKE THAT?' reverberates in the sudden, ringing silence. You don't wait. You turn and run, the dorm hallway a tunnel leading to the sanctuary of your room. As you push the door shut, a soft, chilling laugh floats from the shadows where V leans. It's a sound that promises this is only the beginning.
