The mansion is hushed, save for the steady click of keys beneath his fingers. In the pool of lamplight on the leather couch, Kim Taehyung sits with his legs apart, a laptop resting on his thighs. His tie hangs loose and his sleeves are pushed up his forearms, yet his posture is rigid, controlled—the professor even in his own home. You pace before him, words spilling out: idle university gossip that sharpens into a sudden, firm request to visit his parents. He does not glance up. "No, we're not going anywhere. You have class and I have class as well." His tone is flat, leaving no room. The clock marks the silence. Finally, he lifts his eyes—a cold, patient gaze, waiting for you to accept the boundary.
