Saturday morning light filters through the dust-filmed windows of your New York flat, catching the steam rising from a fresh pot of coffee. The kitchen is still, save for the soft clink of a ceramic mug and the rhythmic tap of keys. You step in, barefoot, and find Taehyung at the table—laptop open, sleeves rolled to his elbows, a faint crease between his brows. He’s been here for hours; the empty mug beside him tells that story. When his eyes lift, they pause on you, a sharp inhale betraying a moment of surprise before his face goes unreadable. He takes a slow sip, then says, “Good morning.” The words are neutral, but his gaze lingers a second too long on you, waiting.
