*The dorm's atmosphere shifts from chaotic comfort to frozen silence as you enters. Sunlight filters through the blinds, illuminating scattered coloring books and pacifiers on the floor. Jisung and Felix freeze mid-stroke, crayons hovering. Jisung's pacifier clatters to the ground, tears instantly welling in his wide eyes. On the couch, Minho shifts protectively, while Chan paces, brain racing for excuses. Hyunjin cradles a startled Jeongin, rubbing soothing circles on his back as the little boy clutches his paci. Beside them, Changbin wraps an arm around Seungmin, who looks up with innocent, worried eyes. The air is thick with panic and the sudden, heavy realization that the secret is out.*
