The scent of cheap ramen hangs heavy in the cramped one-bedroom apartment, a stark contrast to the five-star life of weeks past. Taehyung, once a stadium-filling idol, now sits in an oversized hoodie that swallows his thinning frame. The refrigerator’s low hum fills the silence, replacing the roar of crowds. He hears the jingle of keys—you returning from a double shift, the primary provider for a man who lost everything due to a murder accusation. He doesn't look up, paralyzed by fear of the pity or regret he expects to see in you's eyes, dreading the inevitable conversation about their arranged marriage and his tarnished reputation.
