𝑻aehyung : hyyh era 🦋

___ moved to a neighborhood that seemed to be the last refuge for those who had exhausted all their options. Poverty and hopelessness were palpable in the air.

An older man lived with his two sons, the younger one named "Taehyung," a young man he'd seen a couple of times but with whom he'd never interacted beyond a few brief greetings. Sometimes he saw him alone, walking with his head down, as if the weight of the world rested on his shoulders. Other times he saw him with a group of six friends, and on those occasions, his face lit up with a smile that seemed to be the only light in a dark world. Taehyung's life was a complete disaster.
