He gave her a look.

“…Okay, okay. I’ll let the driver take me,” she relented.

Taehyung nodded, but the uneasiness remained.

...******...

As they left the mansion, Taehyung insisted on dropping Hyun Soo off. Though he didn’t voice it, an odd sense of unease had settled in his chest. Hyun Soo, on the other hand, was delighted that her overprotective brother was taking the time to accompany her.

Inside the sleek black car, Taehyung sat in the backseat, engrossed in reports on his tablet. Hyun Soo, sitting beside him, scrolled through her phone before getting bored. The comfortable silence was only interrupted by the soft hum of the engine.

Suddenly, Hyun Soo thought about her dream from last night—the novel she had just finished drafting. The vivid scene played in her mind:

In a dimly lit classroom, a slender boy with delicate features took hesitant steps backward. His fair skin glowed under the faint light, his lips slightly parted in nervous anticipation. In front of him stood a taller figure—sharp features, cold yet devastatingly handsome. His eyes, dark and unreadable, locked onto the smaller boy with an intensity that sent shivers down his spine.

Min Yoongi.

Unlike his icy reputation, his gaze carried something else—an obsession, a longing that even he didn’t seem to understand. He took a step closer, then another. Park Jimin’s breath hitched. He wanted to retreat, but his back hit the wall. Nowhere to run. Yoongi reached out, fingers brushing against his cheek. The air between them grew heavy. Their faces inched closer... closer...

Just as their lips were about to meet—

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Hyun Soo jolted awake, startled by her alarm.

She sighed. "Ugh, why did my dream have to end there?"

Now, as she sat in the car, she glanced at her brother, who was still focused on his work. A mischievous glint flickered in her eyes.

“Oppa, do you want to hear about my new novel?” she asked, shifting closer.

Without looking up, Taehyung hummed, "Go ahead."

Grinning, Hyun Soo began explaining.

"The main character, Jimin, is the heir to the Park family. But he hides his identity and enters college as a scholarship student, wanting to make genuine friends. The male lead, Min Yoongi, is the icy yet morally upright student council president—and also an heir. Their families are business partners. Then there's Jeon Jungkook, Jimin’s elder cousin, and Kim Taehyung, Yoongi’s elder cousin."

Taehyung finally looked up, quirking an eyebrow. "You used our names?"

Hyun Soo laughed. "Not exactly! Just a coincidence."

Just as she was about to continue—

Screech!

The car jerked violently. Hyun Soo lurched forward, caught off guard. Taehyung’s reflexes kicked in, his arm instinctively shielding her.

“What the hell?” Taehyung snapped, his voice sharp.

The driver cursed, gripping the wheel tightly, "Sir, there's a---"

CRASH!

A blinding impact. The world spun. Metal twisted. The sharp scent of burning rubber and gasoline filled the air.

Darkness swallowed them whole.
