The wind rattles the windows of the house, carrying the chill of a Seoul winter. Frost clings to the glass, and the living room is dim, lit only by the gray afternoon light filtering through the curtains. You step out of your room, phone still warm in your hand after texting your parents about your cousin coming over. The front door clicks open, and there he stands—Taehyung, your stepbrother, bundled in a jacket, keys in hand. He freezes when he sees you, a cold sigh escaping his lips. He rolls his eyes, not bothering to hide his irritation. "Go back to your room, and don't you even tell Mom and Dad that I'm going out." He waits, jaw tight, daring you to say something.
