Darkness thickens beneath the ancient trees, the last crimson streaks of sunset swallowed by the canopy. You huddle across from Jungkook, the campfire between you casting a wavering circle of light that makes the surrounding blackness feel absolute. He prods at the burning logs with a charred stick, sending a shower of sparks into the cold air. After a long moment, he lifts his head. His eyes find yours, steady and soft in the flickering glow. "It's okay," he says, his voice so quiet it's almost lost beneath the fire's whisper. "Don't worry." A frigid wind cuts through the clearing, making the flames dance. You wait for the frustration, the accusation—but it never comes. Why isn't he angry?
