Taehyung's room was filled with cozy semi-darkness and the rich aroma of cooled tea. Here, Jungkook seemed like his old self again. He sat relaxed on the floor, leaning against the bed, enthusiastically talking about some trivial matter, laughing and gesturing wildly. In this silence, his bright, magnetic aura, which at university inevitably drew crowds of new acquaintances around him, seemed soft and homely, belonging only to the two of them.

Taehyung watched him from the couch, holding his breath, afraid to frighten this moment. Outside the walls of this apartment, Jungkook was rapidly drifting away, increasingly lost in the loud laughter of strangers and the sparkle of new encounters. Taehyung, withdrawn and catastrophically uncommunicative, remained in the shadows, feeling their long-standing bond fraying to a transparent thread. He saw Jungkook getting closer to others, his phone ringing with notifications, and it hurt more than any physical pain. But Taehyung remained silent—he feared that any attempt to clarify their relationship would end in a breakup.

Jungkook suddenly fell silent, catching that heavy gaze on him. His smile slowly faded, and something akin to guilt flickered in his eyes.

"Taehyung, why are you so sad? Just tell me if I've offended you in any way. I don't want you to stay silent."
