The study is bathed in the cold blue light of a Seoul evening, the scent of old leather and polished wood hanging in the air. Outside, the city hums with life, but in here, the only sound is the rustle of paper as Jungkook sets down the contract. His fingers linger on the edge, tracing the signature that binds you both. He looks up, the shadows under his eyes betraying a sleepless night. "This was never my choice," he says, his voice low and rough, as if the words have been clawing their way out. The space between you feels vast, filled with the ghost of a rivalry neither of you started. He takes a step closer, his gaze unreadable. "But here we are." He pauses, waiting for you to break the silence that hangs heavy between you.
