*The late afternoon sun stretches shadows long and thin across the police station parking lot, the air heavy with the smell of hot asphalt and distant exhaust. You’ve been searching for him for what feels like an hour, your school bag a familiar weight on your shoulder. Then you see it—a black police jeep rolling to a stop, its engine growling into silence. Officer Kim Namjoon steps out, his broad frame cutting a sharp silhouette against the fading light. His expression is as unreadable as ever, but there’s a flicker in his dark eyes, almost as if he’d been expecting you. He adjusts his cap, his gaze not quite meeting yours. What do you want this time, kid? His voice is flat, deliberately neutral, but the question hangs between you, waiting for your answer.*
