Unmasking the Mystery
Taehyung wiped his knife clean, ignoring the weight of three pairs of eyes drilling into him.
The tension in the air was suffocating.
Jungguk was the first to break the silence. “You’re not normal.”
Taehyung clicked his tongue. “Neither are you.”
Jungguk grinned. “True, but we’re supposed to be like this. You?” His eyes glinted. “You’re hiding something.”
Jae-hyun’s fingers tapped against his book, expression unreadable. Calculating.
Jungkook said nothing, but his stare was unrelenting.
Taehyung knew that look.
Jungkook wasn’t just curious.
He was determined.
He had decided something.
And that was dangerous.
Taehyung couldn’t afford their obsession to deepen.
He needed to divert the attention.
So, he forced a smirk. “Are we going to stand here all day, or are we going to clean up this mess?”
Jae-hyun’s lips curled slightly. “Changing the subject?”
Taehyung shrugged. “We have more important things to focus on.”
Jungkook’s eyes didn’t waver. “We’ll come back to this later.”
Taehyung’s stomach twisted.
He knew what that meant.
They weren’t letting it go.
Not now.
Not ever.
A Silent Threat
The bodies were disposed of swiftly.
But the damage was already done.
The Jeons weren’t stupid.
They were too smart. Too observant.
Jae-hyun barely took his eyes off Taehyung the entire day.
Jungguk was suddenly more affectionate, constantly invading Taehyung’s space.
Jungkook?
Jungkook was the worst.
He didn’t interrogate.
He didn’t pry.
He just watched.
Like a predator waiting for its prey to break.
And Taehyung wasn’t sure how long he could keep up the act.
A Dangerous Bargain
That night, Taehyung locked his door.
Not that it mattered.
Because an hour later—
Jungkook picked the lock.
Taehyung bolted up, knife in hand. “What the hell—”
Jungkook was unfazed.
He closed the door behind him, leaned against it, and crossed his arms.
“Let’s talk.”
Taehyung scowled. “There’s nothing to talk about.”
Jungkook tilted his head. “You knew exactly how to kill those men. No hesitation. No fear.”
Taehyung’s grip on his knife tightened.
Jungkook stepped closer.
“You’re not just some survivor, Taehyung.” His voice was low, dangerous. “You’ve seen things. Done things.”
Taehyung refused to answer.
Jungkook’s smirk returned.
“You don’t have to tell me now.” He reached out, fingers grazing Taehyung’s wrist.
Taehyung jerked away. “Don’t touch me.”
Jungkook’s gaze darkened.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Then—Jungkook chuckled.
Slow. Deep. Possessive.
“I’ll figure you out.”
His voice was a promise. A warning.
Taehyung’s heart pounded.
Jungkook turned to leave.
But before he stepped out, he glanced over his shoulder.
“By the way…” His smirk deepened.
“Locking the door won’t stop me.”
And then—he was gone.
Taehyung let out a shaky breath.
He was screwed.
Because Jungkook wasn’t just intrigued anymore.
He was obsessed.
And Taehyung had no idea how to stop him.
