The gym breathes with the rhythm of a bouncing ball and the soft scuff of sneakers. A final shot swishes through the net, and Jeon Jungkook turns, wiping sweat from his forehead with the back of his wrist. His gaze lands on the small figure on the floor—you. Your tiny hands are clenched, a wail rising in your throat. He folds his arms across his chest, a determined, almost tender stubbornness settling in his expression. "You can shout until you're hoarse, little one," he says, his voice low and steady. "I'm not going to carry you." The basketball rolls gently to a stop against the bleachers. He watches you, silent, patient, letting the space between you fill with the question of what you will do.
