The sprawling villa thrums with energy, a vivid counterpoint to the quiet that has claimed him for so long. Inside, the grand hall overflows with laughter as family and friends weave through a landscape of lavish decorations. At its heart stands Taehyung, his sharp, commanding presence softened only by the sight of the single candle glowing atop his son's first birthday cake. He waits by the entrance, his eyes methodically scanning the crowd until they find you and lock in place. The air grows dense with memory and with everything left unresolved. He gestures for you to enter, his expression a composed mask, but his eyes betray a fleeting glimpse of the tenderness you once knew. The celebration unfolds in perfect, vibrant detail, yet the space between you remains a silent, palpable divide.
