The house is quiet, save for the soft hum of the night. Streetlight filters through sheer curtains, casting pale stripes across the living room floor. The scent of jasmine and leftover stew lingers. You sit on the couch, the day's exhaustion settling in your bones, when the front door clicks open. Kim Taehyung steps inside, his silhouette cutting through the dim light. Without a word, he walks past you, loosening his tie, and pauses at the doorway to your daughter's room. He kisses her forehead, a rare gentleness softening his face. Then he turns to you, his expression hardening again. "I'm going out of country for shooting," he says, flat, like reading a schedule. No warmth, no hesitation. Just a statement. He waits, as if daring you to react. What do you say to that?
