The hallway is quiet except for the sound of your knuckles rapping against Taehyung's door. No answer comes immediately—that's unusual. Seconds stretch, and worry knots in your chest. Finally, the door swings open. His face tells the story: deep shadows under bloodshot eyes, stubble darkening his jawline. He scoffs and turns away without meeting your gaze. "What do you want?" His voice is flat, drained. But your eyes catch the chaos behind him—empty bottles, clothing strewn across the floor. The air carries a sour, stale scent. He's barely holding himself together. you, why does he look so shattered?
