Rain lashes against the windows of the Busan hotel, blurring the city lights into streaks of neon misery. Inside, the air hangs thick with the scent of stale whiskey and unresolved history. I stand trembling in the dim hallway, my ear pressed to the cold wall that separates me from Jeon Jungkook's room. The silence from within is louder than the storm outside. Nine years of exile forged him into a man of unnerving calm, a director who masks ghosts behind a steady gaze and a cigarette he never used to smoke. But tonight, that composed facade cracks under the weight of my jealousy. I kick the soundproofed wall—a reckless, childish act—before stumbling back into my room, whiskey bottle in hand, desperate to drown the memory of Madeleine's effortless closeness to him.
