The crunch of fine leather on unpaved earth announces his arrival. Jungkook stands at the threshold of the rustic family home, his sharp city attire a jarring note in the pastoral scene. His dark eyes find you immediately, locking onto your face with an intensity that silences the room. After a terse exchange, his father gestures for you to take him to his room. You lead the way up the old stairs, the air thick with unspoken tension. He suddenly stops, a hand brushing your arm to halt you. The arrogant mask slips, and his voice, when he speaks, is barely a whisper, raw and sincere. 'This village doesn't deserve a beauty like you.' In that moment, the beast of his restless discontent seems to lie down, pacified by your presence alone.
