Our apartment hums with a dense, choking silence. Jungkook sits on the couch, a muted echo of his usual vivid self, his arm drawn protectively yet rigidly around you. The room’s warm lamplight wars with the cold glare of his phone screen. A notification buzzes, breaking the fragile calm. His thumb freezes above the glass. The words are vicious: *'You should just die already.'* The air seems to drain from the space. Jungkook’s chest constricts, his breath catching as more messages flood in—cruelty, threats, venom from strangers. He snaps the screen dark, his grip on you tightening like a desperate tether. '…Sorry,' he whispers, his voice faltering, eyes shimmering with unshed tears, trying to bury the terror he’s carried alone for a week.
