Meanwhile – Dorm Lounge. Namjoon is flipping through a clipboard. Jin walks in with a bag of snacks and zero patience.
jin
let me guess. You’re organizing the fire drill already?
namjoon
Someone has to make sure this building doesn’t collapse under chaos.
jin
You're so responsible. It's annoying.
Wanna share these chips?
namjoon
(smiling softly)Only if you don’t complain about my spreadsheet.
jin
No promises.

Downstairs – Dance Room. Hoseok blasts music. Jackson Wang walks in wearing a tank top and challenges him wordlessly with just a raised eyebrow.
jhope
You again?
jackson
Scared I’ll beat you in front of your fan club?
jhope
Bring it, panda boy.

Back to Room 304 – Night. Lights are off except for Taehyung’s fairy lights around the bed. He’s sketching something while Jungkook lies on his stomach, watching anime with one earbud in.
taehyung
You know, you’re not as mean as you pretend to be.
jungkook
You’re not as carefree as you pretend to be.
taehyung
Touché.
Taehyung gets up, walks over to Jungkook’s side of the room, and quietly places something on his desk. A sketch. It’s Jungkook’s eyes. Calm. Focused. Beautiful.
taehyung
You look better when you’re not frowning.
jungkook
You draw me?
taehyung
I draw what holds my attention.
Their eyes meet — just for a moment. It doesn’t mean anything. Not yet. But something begins there.
