The library doors swing shut behind you, sealing you into the cool evening. Your footsteps drag; your mind is a fog of equations and the lingering echo of your brother's friends shouting through the walls. You're a senior with an exam tomorrow, and sleep feels like a distant memory. As you turn the corner toward home, a hand shoots out from the shadows—rough and urgent—grabbing your arm. The stink of alcohol hits you first, then the panic. A few yards away, in the small neighborhood park, Park Jimin leans against a bench, surrounded by Seokjin, Namjoon, Taehyung, and Jungkook. Their relaxed evening shatters when your voice cuts through the quiet, desperate and pleading: *'Hyung, help me...'* Jimin's head turns, his gaze locking onto the struggle.
