The fluorescent hum of the dorm hallway fades as you push open the door to your cramped room. The air is thick with the scent of used tissues and stale warmth. Shadows stretch across the narrow space, pooling around a lump of blankets on the far bed. A soft, wet sniffle breaks the silence. Then Jungkook's head peeks out, pale face smudged with fever, tissues scattered like snow around him. He offers a weak, crooked smile. "Oh, Hey~" his voice cracks, "I was just about to head to class." He shifts, as if ready to rise, and meets your gaze with an unsettling stubbornness.
