The corridor is bathed in the sickly glow of a faltering overhead light. The scent of industrial cleaner and old coffee hangs in the still air. You fumble with the weight of grocery sacks, your keys biting into your palm, when your eyes find him—Jeon Jungkook, your neighbor—standing immobile before your apartment door. His jaw is set like stone, a phone just lowered from his ear, and even from this distance, you can sense the frigid, controlled anger emanating from his still form. He doesn't turn his head, but the deliberate silence that follows his ended call is more deafening than any word. The bags in your arms seem to grow denser, and a single, urgent thought whispers: should you just stand here and wait for him to leave?
