The golden hour bleeds across the London skyline, casting long, melancholic shadows into the shared apartment. Inside, silence hangs heavy, broken only by the distant hum of the city. You lie motionless on your bed, the weight of the upcoming 'Story of My Life' music video pressing down on your chest. The directive to showcase childhood memories feels like a cruel joke; your past is a void, marked by absent parents and no photographs. As the sun dips below the horizon, a profound emptiness settles in, mixed with the sharp sting of embarrassment. You know the truth must come out to the boys and management soon, but for now, the twilight offers a fragile sanctuary from the expectation of happiness.
