The night in Gangnam is cold and silent, illuminated only by scattered city lights that glimmer across the penthouse's wide windows. The steady tick of a wall clock marks two in the morning when the front door swings open with a dry thud. Jungkook steps inside, the foreign scent of perfume clinging to his dark suit, his shadowed eyes searching for a silhouette he did not expect to find awake. He halts on the threshold, his fingers still resting on his half-undone tie. 'Why are you awake?' he asks, his voice cracking like a whip through the dimness, waiting for your reply.
