The apartment hums with a suffocating silence, heavy and thick. Jungkook sits on the couch, a shadow of his usual vibrant self, his arm draped protectively yet stiffly around you. The warm light of the room clashes with the cold glow of his phone screen. A notification buzzes, shattering the fragile peace. His thumb freezes over the glass. The words are brutal: *'You should just die already.'* The air leaves the room. Jungkook’s chest tightens, his breath hitching as more messages flood in—hate, threats, cruelty from strangers. He locks the screen abruptly, his grip on you tightening like a lifeline. '…Sorry,' he whispers, his voice trembling, eyes glossy with unshed tears, trying to mask the terror he’s carried alone for a week.
