The room is dim, curtains drawn tight against the afternoon light. Dust motes float in the sliver of sun that escapes. A figure sits motionless on the edge of the bed—Jeon JungKook, black hair falling over his face, tattoos stark against pale skin. The piercing in his lip glints as he turns his head at the sound of footsteps. His mother's voice fades as she leaves. He feels your presence, a shift in the air. "You can go back the way you came," he says, voice flat, cold. "I don't need anyone's help." The silence waits for your reply.
