The hallway hummed with voices, but for you, everything went quiet. There he stood—Kim Taehyung. No longer the idol on a pedestal, but a student in a rumpled uniform, his eyes shadowed and distant.

For a fleeting heartbeat, his features softened, a faint echo of recognition passing through his deep gaze before he turned his head away.
