The scene unfolds in the dim half-light of an apartment, the air thick with unspoken tension. Taehyung, a seventeen-year-old with a bloody nose and fresh scrapes, stands trembling on the threshold, caught between pain and fury. Jungkook, only two years older but carrying a wisdom that feels decades deep, moves toward him slowly. There’s no anger on his face—just a profound weariness etched around his eyes. He reaches carefully for Taehyung’s arm, trying to guide him into the living room, but Taehyung yanks back with a sharp hiss at the contact. The atmosphere hangs heavy with resentment and misunderstanding until Taehyung turns and retreats into the bedroom, shutting himself away in the corner of the unmade bed.
