~ BACK TO THE STORY ~
The party hall was alive with music, laughter, and warm wishes echoing around Taehyung.
“Happy Birthday, Taehyung!” “Wishing you the best, Tae!” “Many happy returns!”
Everyone seemed to be enjoying the evening. But what none of them knew... was that something unexpected was about to unfold for the birthday boy.
---
At one side of the hall, two well-dressed gentlemen greeted each other with a warm smile.
Park Seo-Joon.
Park Seo-Joon.
“Hello Mr. Kim 👋🏻,”
Park Seo-Joon.
Park Seo-Joon.
“Hello, Mr. Kim,” Mr. Park said, offering a brief handshake. “How are you, man?”
Kim Arthur (father)
Kim Arthur (father)
“Ah, Mr. Park! I’m doing well, thank you. And you?”
Park Seo-Joon.
Park Seo-Joon.
“All good on my end too 😊,” Mr. Park replied with a nod.
Kim Arthur (father)
Kim Arthur (father)
Mr. Kim glanced around the room. “And where’s Mrs. Park… and that mischievous Jimin of ours?”
Park Seo-Joon.
Park Seo-Joon.
Mr. Park laughed softly. “Min’s busy catching up with Mrs. Kim, as always. And Jimin?” He chuckled knowingly. “You already know where that boy is.”
Kim Arthur (father)
Kim Arthur (father)
Mr. Kim smirked. “Of course. With his soulmate. Where else would he be?” 😅
The two men shared a laugh, sipping their drinks as the party buzzed around them.
Meanwhile…
Let’s take a little detour across the hall… Because we all know two particular troublemakers aren’t just here for the snacks and music. 👀😂
Shall we find out what they’re up to?
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
“Hey Chim…👋🏻”
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.

Ignore 🎤
Taehyung crossed his arms with mock sternness.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
“Why are you so late, huh? Don’t you know today is my birthday?” 😏
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
“Hey buddy 👋🏻,” Jimin grinned, slightly out of breath.

“Sorry, Tae! The traffic was insane. I swear, the cars weren’t moving at all.” 😐
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
He clasped his hands dramatically. “Now please forgive your best friend 🥺.”
Taehyung raised an eyebrow, pretending to stay mad.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
“Okay, okay, you don’t have to pull that crybaby face.” 😏
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
“But this is the last time I’m forgiving you, got it?” 😉
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
Jimin beamed. “Thank you so much, my soulmate!” 😚
Then, with a flourish, he pulled out a small gift box.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
“Now here’s your gift, 🎁 and… Happy Birthday, my Angry Tiger!” 🐯
Taehyung laughed, finally breaking into a big smile.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
“Thank you so much, Chim Chim!” 😁 He quickly hugged him. “Now let’s go and enjoy the party!”
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
Jimin nodded. “Absolutely. Let’s light it up tonight!” 😉🎉
Just as the two were about to head back into the crowd, a maid approached them, bowing respectfully.
Maid
Maid
“Young master,” she said softly.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
Taehyung turned to her. “Yeah, Noona? What’s up?”
Maid
Maid
“There’s someone asking for you in the poolside area.”
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
He tilted his head. “Oh? Alright, I’m coming.”
Maid
Maid
“Okay, young master.” With that, she turned and left.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
Jimin frowned slightly. “Who’s calling you there?”
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
Taehyung shrugged. “No idea.”
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
“You can go ahead and enjoy the party, Chim. I’ll be right back,” Tae said with a small smile.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
But Jimin didn’t move. His expression had shifted. “Tae… don’t go.”
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
Taehyung blinked, surprised. “Why not?”
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
“I don’t know. I just have a bad feeling…” Jimin looked uneasy. “Something feels off. Don’t go alone.”
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
Taehyung smiled, trying to ease his friend’s worry. “Hey, Chim, it’s just the poolside. It’s in the mansion itself. I’ll be back before you even finish your drink.”
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
Jimin hesitated. “Okay… but please, come back soon.”
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
“I will,” Taehyung promised, giving him a playful nudge. “I’m not going anywhere, alright?”
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
Jimin gave a weak nod. “Okay… 😐”
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
Taehyung smiled one last time. “Now cheer up. I’ll be back before the next song ends.” 😚
And with that, he turned toward the dimly lit hallway leading to the pool — unaware of what was waiting for him in the shadows ahead…

Let’s see what’s going on inside Kim Mansion…
📱 Phone ringing...
Lily picked up the call, stepping away from the window.
Unknown

Kim lily
Hello boss📱

Good. But don’t take too much time. I’m running out of patience. 📱
Kim lily
Kim lily
Understand. It’ll be over before you know it. 📱
📱The call ends with a cold click.
Kim lily
Kim lily
(urgently): Roney, we don’t have time. We need to finish everything now.
Rony
Rony
(tense): What happened?
Kim lily
Kim lily
(lowers voice): The boss just called… (she quickly explains everything he told her).
Kim lily
Kim lily
Boss called me and (explain everything which her boss tell her)..
Rony
Rony
Damn…
Lewis Thomas

Lewis Thomas
Lewis Thomas
(confused): What do you mean?
Rony
Rony
(nodding toward the entrance): He’s already on his way. 👉🏻
Kim lily
Kim lily
(eyes widening): Then why are we standing here like statues? We need to hide — now.
Rony
Rony
Yeah, you’re right.
Lewis Thomas
Lewis Thomas
Let’s move. 👣
---
Taehyung stepped into the dimly lit poolside area, frowning.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"Why is it so quiet here?" he muttered.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"Didn’t noona say someone was calling me out here?" 🙄
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
He looked around, confused. "Then where is he… or she?"
---
Meanwhile, hidden in the shadows…
Kim lily
Kim lily
(whispering): “Did you set up the electric wire in the pool?”
Rony
Rony
(smirking): “Yeah. It's all in place, perfectly connected.” 😈 “Once he falls in, it’s over.”
Kim lily
Kim lily
(grinning): “And the oil?”
Lewis Thomas
Lewis Thomas
“Spilled it all over the edge of the pool… with a little help from some idiots who didn’t even know what they were doing.” 😈😂
Kim lily
Kim lily
(chuckling coldly): “Perfect. Let’s see how much my ‘innocent’ little brother suffers now...” “Oh wait— not suffer... I meant die.” 👿
---
On the other side… Taehyung stepped cautiously around the pool.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"Hello? Is anyone here?"
He paused, eyes scanning the shadows.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"If someone’s out here, please say something."
He frowned, irritation creeping in.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"What the hell… If no one’s here, then why did Noona tell me someone was calling me?" 🤔
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
With a sigh, he shook his head. "I should just head back to the party. I’m sure no one’s here... and Jimin’s waiting for me."
---
Kim lily
Kim lily
(tense): “He can’t leave like this—we need to do something!”
Rony
Rony
(thinking fast): “But what?”
Kim lily
Kim lily
“Give me that stone by your right foot. Now.”
Lewis Thomas
Lewis Thomas
“Here. Take it.” 🪨
Lily hurled the stone into the pool with a loud SPLASH 🪨
Lewis Thomas
Lewis Thomas
(whispering): "Now let’s go. We can’t stand around here—it’s risky."
Rony
Rony
"Yeah, you're right."
Kim lily
Kim lily
"Hm... Okay "
And with that, they slipped away into the shadows, leaving the trap behind… 😈
---
At that very moment…
A sharp splash echoed across the poolside.
Taehyung froze. His head whipped toward the sound—
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"What was that?"
But it was already too late.
His foot slid— the slick oil beneath his shoes gave way without warning.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"Ah—!"
He couldn’t even finish the gasp. His body lost balance—arms flailing— and in one helpless moment, he plunged into the pool.
The cold water swallowed him whole. Electric current surged through him instantly.
His muscles stiffened, his limbs convulsed underwater.
No sound came out. No scream. No plea. Only silence, and bubbles rising to the surface.
---
Inside his mind…
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"Why God why "
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"Why… God, why me?"
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"What did I do wrong? I never hurt anyone… Why would You let this happen to me?"
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"I don’t want to die… Not like this."
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"Umma… Appa… Hyung… Noona… Jimina—"
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
"Someone… please… help me…"
---
But no one came. No one saw. No one heard.
Just the quiet, eerie ripple of water under the moonlight.
And then—
His body stilled.
His eyes closed.
And everything faded to black.
