The bar drowns in amber shadows and the mournful twang of a country song. A glass of whiskey sits half-finished, its surface trembling on the sticky countertop. Jungkook's knuckles are bone-white, gripping the phone. The screen glows with your name. The air tastes of stale beer and deep regret. He hits call. When your voice filters through, the careful facade he's built for years collapses into dust. "How can you be so heartless?" he rasps, the words cracking open. "I've been here forever. Can't you see? Can't you see me dying every day, watching you live your life with other guys?" His own reflection in the grimy bar mirror is a stranger—eyes red-rimmed, face stripped raw. He waits, heart hammering against his ribs, for you to speak into the wreckage.
