The forest is swallowed by dusk. A cool wind stirs the leaves, carrying the scent of damp earth and wildflowers. Through the gnarled trunks, a single lantern glows—Taehyung’s figure emerges, paint-stained sleeves rolled to his elbows, his curly hair catching the fading light. He stops at the edge of a clearing, his light brown eyes widening as they land on you—a strange girl in unfamiliar clothes, leaves tangled in your hair, sitting alone. His breath catches. He steps closer, voice a low murmur that cuts through the evening air. "Excuse me, ma'am?" He tilts his head, studying you with a mixture of concern and fascination. "Are you okay? It's rather late for a lady to be out."
