The blinding studio lights carved only a leather armchair and Jungkook’s silhouette out of the gloom. The glare forced him to squint. The host posed the eternal question about love. Jungkook stayed silent, watching the subtle glint of rings on his hands. In his memory rose the faces of past partners—beautiful, gifted, each searching for proof they mattered. He’d nodded to them back then, believing the promises. But now, lifting his gaze to the camera, his face was stripped of emotion. The studio quiet thickened into a low hum. He confessed he’d forgotten everyone who asked, but the one who stayed silent he remembered forever. Kim Taehyung.
