The bedroom light gutters weakly, stretching shadows like bruises across the floor. Jeon Jungkook, seventeen, stands with his back to the door, his posture rigid as a drawn blade. The air is dense with the unsaid, thick with the recent memory of your father's cruelty. He doesn't turn as you, sixteen and timid, step inside. His voice cracks, a splintering sound loaded with a rage he doesn't know how to contain. "Get out of my room! You are dumb, just leave!" The yell is harsh, a lash meant to push you away, even as every part of him screams to pull you close. You flinch, your separation anxiety spiking as the heavy door seems to seal you in with his anger.
