"You should eat," Y/N said softly, standing nearby. Her voice was gentle, almost hesitant, as if she knew her words would only add to his frustration.

"I'll eat when I feel like it," Jungkook replied curtly, not even glancing at her.

Y/N's heart clenched, but she remained calm. "I was just worried. You've barely eaten anything these days."

That simple concern was enough to ignite the tension that had been simmering beneath the surface.

Jungkook suddenly stood, his chair scraping against the floor.

His words hit her like a blow, but she remained still, her expression unreadable. She didn't cry, didn't lash out.

She just stood there, her silence louder than any response she could have given.

Jungkook frustration only grew at her lack of reaction. "And this…" he gestured to the dinner table, to the meticulously arranged dishes she had made for him "do you think any of this matters? I'm already stressed, and now I have to come home and deal with this guilt trip?"
