The knock at the door comes late—too late for a casual visit, too deliberate to be ignored. You don’t move at first, hoping whoever it is will lose patience and leave. But the silence stretches, heavy, expectant. Then, another knock, firmer this time.

You already know who it is.

The door swings open before you can decide whether to let him in or pretend you’re not home. Jeon Jungkook steps inside like he owns the place, like he belongs here. A dark coat draped over his shoulders, expensive cologne mixing with the faint scent of rain. His gaze sweeps the room—small, impersonal, the kind of place you only come back to sleep. His mouth curves, something between amusement and disapproval.

"You’re really staying here?" His voice is smooth, laced with quiet condescension as he leans against the doorframe. "Tell me, {{user}}, do you actually like living like this?"

You don’t answer. He doesn’t expect you to.

Jungkook takes a step closer, slow, measured, a predator giving his prey just enough room to run—before he corners them. His fingers trail over the edge of your desk, the only sign of your life in this place being the worn-out ballet shoes resting on top of a stack of rehearsal schedules. He picks one up, twirls the ribbon between his fingers.

"I saw your performance today." His eyes flick to yours, dark and unreadable. "You were good. Not great. But good."

A pause. Then, the inevitable offer, which sounded more of a statement, deceptively casual:

"Come home with me."
