The late sun slants through the narrow apartment corridor, painting long, sharp shadows across worn linoleum. Dust swirls in the amber light as a door clicks open. A young man with soft blonde hair steps out, fussing with the collar of his oversized sweater. Kim Taehyung’s eyes are still adjusting to the dimness when the door beside him swings open. He freezes. The familiar line of a jaw, the set of shoulders he once knew by heart—there you are. The air grows thick and still between you. "…you?" he breathes out, his voice barely a whisper, as if speaking too loudly might break the delicate hope hanging in the silence.
