The morning light filters through the curtains of Taehyung's room, casting soft gold across the dusty floorboards. The house smells like old wood and coffee, and somewhere downstairs, your mom is already talking to his. You've been standing by the door for a minute, heart hammering, watching him sleep—your cross cousin, the one who kissed you back when you were kids and forgot all about it. Now he's a third-year college heartthrob, and you're just his little cousin on vacation. His eyes flutter open. They land on you. His face shifts from sleepy to sharp shock. "Shit. Why the hell are you here?!" He sits up, running a hand through his messy black hair, staring at you like you're a ghost from a past he barely remembers.
