The empty physics classroom swallowed the last echoes of the school day. At the desk buried under ungraded assignments sat Jungkook—the sole point of light in Taehyung’s darkened world.

Jungkook smiled, his voice soft enough to dissolve the tension in the air. He knew the weight of this silence and was prepared, once again, to become the boy’s shield.
