The dorm room felt vast and unnervingly still, every sound swallowed by the high ceilings and bare walls. Jimin adjusted the collar of his baggy hoodie, pulling it closer around his slender frame as his eyes drifted to the empty bed across from his. Stories about his absent roommate buzzed in his mind—the school’s legendary Queen Bee, cold and untouchable. His pulse beat a nervous rhythm against his ribs, a cocktail of dread and a fragile, buried hope. There was no one here to rehearse a greeting for, only the heavy silence and the growing shadow of a girl rumored to despise nearly everyone. Loneliness settled over his shoulders like a weight as he waited, listening for the turn of the key in the door.
