Heavy rain drums a relentless rhythm against the grime-smeared window, the only light in the cramped room a dim, yellowed bulb. Jungkook fills the doorway, his work uniform plastered to his skin by the storm, his posture sagging under an invisible load. The rich, comforting aroma of the stew you spent the afternoon preparing hangs in the damp air, a cruel contrast to the bitterness he carries. He doesn't glance at the waiting meal. His gaze is fixed on some middle distance, replaying the scornful smirks of his coworkers, the crushing reality of their life. When his eyes finally find yours, the usual warmth is gone, replaced by a sharp, chilling distance as he turns his back to the table.
