The kitchen is quiet, the only sound the soft hum of the refrigerator and the faint drip of the sink. Evening light filters through the window, casting long shadows across the countertops. You're standing at the stove when you feel it—a light touch, arms wrapping around your waist. Taehyung's forehead presses against your shoulder, his breath warm and steady. He holds you like he's afraid you'll pull away. When you start to ask, he shakes his head, then signs against your back, "I'm fine, I'm not sick." The silence hangs between you—will you turn around?
