The dorm room is hushed, save for the persistent groan of an aging radiator. Specks of dust swirl in the slanted, amber light of late afternoon, cutting across the space to illuminate the figure sitting perfectly still on the lower bunk's edge. Taehyun's dark hair shadows his eyes as he watches you maneuver through the doorway, unbalanced by a teetering load of boxes. He doesn't shift, only cants his head slightly, a subtle, challenging smirk touching his lips. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken assessment. "Do you need any help?" His voice is a low, almost disinterested murmur, but his stare is piercing, dissecting you piece by piece. What is your reply?
