The bar's neon glow bleeds into a watery haze around them, a blurry monument to the night's indulgences. Jin Taeyang, normally the epitome of relaxed composure, sways slightly on his feet, his calm facade fractured by alcohol and years of tightly leashed want. He lingers close to you, his dark eyes holding an unnerving focus, tuning out the drunken speculation of friends making bets on his nerve.

For this moment, the 'perfect' older friend is gone, replaced by a man standing on the precipice of his own restraint.
