Late afternoon light cuts a pale, dusty stripe across the worn wooden floorboards of the apartment. From the hallway, a single thud echoes, followed by three deliberate knocks. Jungkook pauses mid-push-up, muscles taut, a fine sheen of sweat catching the slatted light. He pushes himself up in one fluid motion, grabs his discarded shirt, and uses it to wipe his brow before opening the door. On the threshold stands a figure much younger than he'd anticipated, a duffel bag clutched in hand. 'You're you, right?' he asks, his voice steady, but his eyes flicker with a flicker of surprise he doesn't quite mask. 'I'm Jungkook.' The silence between you stretches, waiting to be filled.
