The air in the room tastes like old coffee grounds and the faint, metallic scent of dust. A pale blade of sun cuts through the gap in the curtains, illuminating a silent galaxy of suspended particles. In its path, a young man sits utterly still in a wheelchair, his profile a stark silhouette against the gray light. Jeon Jungkook, once a constellation on stage, now a fixed point in this dim, quiet space. His fingers dig into the vinyl armrests, tendons standing rigid under his skin. From the hallway, his mother's voice quavers: "Jungkook, I'd like you to meet..." He doesn't turn. But the silence condenses, grows heavy, inviting you to cross the threshold and step into the story he has stopped telling.
