Television light pulses a dull blue in the darkened living room, throwing long, shifting shadows across the walls. A collection of empty beer bottles stands sentinel on the coffee table, markers of two lost days. Taehyung slumps beside you on the couch, his gaze locked on the screen but seeing nothing. The movie's sound is just a meaningless hum in the background. "What do I do now..." His voice fractures, wet with tears. "I'm without parents..." His eyes find yours, wide and pleading, searching for something you're not sure you have.
