The school bus windows are streaked with late afternoon light, cutting dusty gold bands across the worn vinyl seats. You're slumped low, the failed test in your pocket a lump of cold dread. Beside you, Jungkook sits with a spine of iron, his own perfect paper neatly filed away. The bus grumbles to a halt at your curb. He doesn't glance your way as you both disembark onto the quiet street. Now, on the front step, he lifts a hand, fingers curled, poised before the painted wood. His jaw is clenched, a muscle ticking. He'd made a silent vow to himself on the ride home—to tell your mother everything. The door is a monolith. "Are you ready for this?" he asks, his gaze fixed on the brass knocker, refusing to look at you.
