chapter 2: warning

The moment BTS stepped backstage, the energy of the concert bled away, replaced by something heavy, something unspoken. Jungkook pulled out his in-ear monitors, his fingers trembling slightly. His heartbeat still hadn’t settled.

The others felt it too.

Jin was the first to speak. “What the hell was that?” His voice was calm, but there was tension underneath.

Jungkook swallowed, his gaze flickering to RM. “You saw it, didn’t you?”

Namjoon nodded. “Not just saw. Felt.”

A silence settled over them. The air-conditioned backstage room suddenly felt too small, too cold. Jungkook’s mind replayed the moment again—the girl collapsing, his voice, her sudden recovery.

It wasn’t normal.

“I think…” Jungkook hesitated, then exhaled. “I think my voice did something.”

The words sounded ridiculous out loud, but no one laughed.

Instead, Yoongi leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. “You don’t just think,” he muttered. “You know.”

Jungkook shivered. “So what does that mean?”

Before anyone could answer, a voice—deep and unfamiliar—cut through the room.

“It means you’ve been heard.”

The members snapped to attention.

At the doorway stood a man, tall and dressed in an immaculately pressed black suit. His face was expressionless, his dark eyes locking onto Jungkook with unsettling intensity.

Security should have been outside. No one should have been able to enter without clearance.

And yet, here he was.

Namjoon stepped forward, protective. “Who are you?”

The man ignored the question. His gaze flickered across the group, assessing them one by one. “You’ve unlocked something you were never meant to find.”

Jungkook’s stomach twisted. “What are you talking about?”

The man’s expression didn’t change. “Your music is powerful. More than you realize. And if you continue down this path…” He paused. “The Silence will come for you.”

A chill swept through the room.

Jimin shifted closer to Jungkook, his voice careful. “The Silence?”

The man’s lips pressed into a thin line. “You need to stop singing that song.”

Jungkook’s heart pounded. “Why?”

“For your own safety,” the man said simply.

Then, just as suddenly as he had appeared, he turned and walked away.

The door clicked shut behind him, leaving behind a silence that felt heavier than any stadium crowd.

For the first time since their debut, BTS stood together—speechless.
