City lights smear into molten ribbons of gold and crimson outside your window. Inside the car, the quiet is dense, smothering, far heavier than the slow-moving traffic around you. Taehyung's hands are locked on the wheel, tendons standing stark against his skin, his jaw set in a hard line. He hasn't looked your way since the words were spoken, since the fight left its chill. The car takes a sharp turn, and your shoulder brushes against his arm. He stiffens, a tiny flinch, but says nothing. The weight of the silence begs for you to break it.
