On the other side, Yn entered her room, her breath catching as she looked around.

Yn: “WOAH… this view… I could live here forever.”

Suddenly, a memory hit her. Her expression softened.

Yn (thinking): “He once took me to a place like this on my birthday. Hobi oppa was with us. We had so much fun that day.”

She took out her phone and opened a photo. Her eyes welled up as her lips curled into a faint smile.

Yn (tearing up): I miss you so much. I still remember how whenever I pulled a prank, no one in the house supported me... I always got punished. But you... you always stood by my side. You made eomma and appa forgive me every time.

(A sad smile formed on her lips as tears streamed down her cheeks.)

Yn: It’s been a year... You’re still in a coma. Please wake up soon, Yeonjun. I miss you so much...

(She hugged the photo close to her chest.)

Yn (whispering): I love you, Yeonjun.

Tears slid down her cheeks.

Knock knock.

Startled, she quickly wiped her tears and headed to the door.

As soon as she opened it, her annoyed expression returned.

Yn: “What now?”

Taehyung (coldly): “This lipstick was in my bag.”

He handed it to her. She snatched it without a word.

Yn: “Now leave.”

She was about to shut the door when suddenly, Taehyung stepped in, slammed it shut, and pinned her gently against it. She gasped, about to speak, but he placed his hand softly over her mouth.

Their faces were inches apart. Eyes locked. Breathes tangled.

Their hearts skipped. Time paused.

For a brief moment, it felt like the world outside ceased to exist.

Suddenly realizing their proximity, Taehyung backed away quickly.

Yn (confused): “Why the hell did you lock the door?”

Taehyung: “Shut up, wildcat.”

Yn (frustrated): Why should I be quiet?! You’re the one who barged in and locked the door!

Taehyung: Listen... Ara’s outside. If she sees me, she’ll chase after me again. She didn’t leave me alone the entire flight.

Yn laughed.

Yn: “The great King Taehyung is scared of a girl?”

Taehyung: “I’m not scared. If someone like her chased you, you’d be terrified too.”

Yn: “She must be gone by now. Just leave.”

Taehyung: “Fine.”

He peeked through the hall but returned seconds later.

Yn: “Now what?”

Taehyung: “She’s still outside… talking to her friends. I’ll wait a bit.”

He casually walked to the bed and lay down, arms folded.

Yn rolled her eyes and turned to the window. She opened it and leaned forward as a cool breeze brushed against her skin, gently sweeping her hair back.

The wind felt like freedom. Like healing. Like a hug from nature.

She closed her eyes, crossing her arms as she inhaled deeply — peace washing over her like never before.

Taehyung watched her silently. Her face glowed under the moonlight, her expression calm and content.

Taehyung: “Close the window. It’s cold.”

Yn (softly): “This cold breeze… it brings me peace.”

Taehyung: “You’ll fall sick.”

She didn’t reply. He walked over, took off his jacket, and gently placed it over her shoulders. Then, he stood beside her, looking out of the window.

For a few moments, neither said a word. Only silence — warm, soothing silence.

Taehyung (softly): “Can I ask you a question?”

Yn: “Hmm?”

He turned to her, voice barely a whisper.

Taehyung: “Do you love someone?”

Startled, Yn’s head snapped toward him, her eyes wide with confusion and a flicker of curiosity.

Taehyung (shrugging nonchalantly): “I mean, if you do, it’s fine. We’ll get divorced in a year anyway. Then you can be with him.”

Yn tore her gaze away, turning to the window with a blank stare.

Yn (softly, almost like a whisper): “I don’t.”

Taehyung’s brows knitted slightly, searching her face.

Taehyung: “Seriously?”

Yn (nodding): “Yes.”

Yn (after a pause, raising a brow): “Why’d you ask that out of nowhere?”

He looked away quickly, the tips of his ears slightly flushed.

Taehyung (muttering): “Ah, no reason… just asking.”

He stood up abruptly, brushing invisible dust from his clothes.

Taehyung: “Anyway, I should go. She must be waiting.”

Yn (nodding, emotionless): “Hmm.”

Without another word, he walked out of the room.

Next Morning

A crowd of students had gathered outside the campus building, buzzing with anticipation.

Professor (clapping hands): “Is everyone here?”

Students: “Yes!”

Professor (smiling): “Great. Today, we’re visiting a village unlike any other. This village has preserved its ancient customs and rituals—something you won’t find in modern cities. You’ll learn a lot from this experience.”

Professor: “Let’s go.”

Students (in chorus): “Yes!”

The group started walking toward the village, which wasn’t far. Yn, Hana, and Sumi walked in front, chatting softly, while Taehyung, Jungkook, and Jimin followed a few steps behind.

Suddenly, a bubbly voice echoed as a girl came running toward them.

Ara (with a wide grin): “Good morning!”

Taehyung (forcing a tight smile): “Morning.”

Before the awkward silence could stretch, Jungkook jumped in.

Ara: “Let’s hang out together, all four of us. It’ll be fun, right?”

Jungkook (eyes widening in mock surprise): “Whaaaat?”

Ara blinked, confused. Jungkook recovered quickly.

Jungkook (smiling sheepishly): “I mean—yeah, sure, why not? More the merrier. Right, Jimin? Taehyung?”

Jimin and Taehyung exchanged a quick glance before giving small, unconvincing nods.

As they walked further, Ara launched into a never-ending monologue, clearly oblivious to Taehyung’s lack of interest.

Leaning toward Jungkook, Jimin whispered with a smirk.

Jimin (under his breath): “The one who should be walking beside Taehyung is busy taking selfies, and she doesn’t even care that her husband has a clingy admirer.”

Jungkook (chuckling): “What’s gonna happen with these two?”

The village came into view. Its charm was rustic yet fascinating. Ancient murals adorned the weather-worn walls, and students scattered around—some studying the art, others bargaining with local vendors.

Yn, Hana, and Sumi moved to one side, admiring the scenic view. Just then, Yn’s foot twisted awkwardly.

Yn (gasping): “Ahh!”
