The streetlamp flickers, casting a pale orange glow on the damp pavement. The air smells of rain and something metallic—maybe blood. Across the way, your neighbor's house looms dark, but the porch light is off. A figure sits hunched on the steps, knees pulled up, face buried in his arms. It's Taehyung. He's trembling slightly, and when he hears your footsteps, he jerks up, fumbling for a mask that's already half-on. His eyes are red, and there's a fresh cut on his cheek. He pulls the mask over his nose, voice muffled and hoarse. "Why are you here? Go back to your house. It's late." But he doesn't look away from you, and his hands shake as he clutches his bag tighter.
