The atmosphere in the living room was tense, as the aftermath of the recent fight still lingered in the air like a thick fog. The furniture was all pushed to the sides of the room, creating an open space in the center where everyone sat in awkward silence. The harsh lighting cast long shadows on the walls, adding to the somber mood of the room.

Namjoon's gaze swept over the individuals seated before him. Two of them sat at opposite corners of the room, their faces bloodied and twisted in expressions of simmering anger and resentment, exchanging threatening glares at each other periodically. Another one, her face swollen from incessant crying, sat hunched over, hands clasped tightly to her chest as if seeking comfort.

One of them, visibly wincing in pain, kept touching his neck gingerly, a telltale sign of the physical toll of the confrontation. The rest of the group looked around uncertainly, their eyes flickering back and forth as they tried to gauge the tense atmosphere. As one is notably absence in the group.

Namjoon let out a weary sigh, the tension in the room almost suffocating. "I just came two seconds late and you all are at each other's throat already," he muttered, shaking his head in disbelief as he rubbed his temples in frustration.

As all eyes turned to the missing figure who had just entered the room, a heavy silence fell over the group. She offered a quiet apology as she took her seat next to Taehyung, causing a ripple of unease to spread through the room. Jimin, sitting on the opposite edge, scoffed, his hand gingerly touching his swollen lips.

Namjoon sighed again, his frustration evident in the way he rubbed his temples, unsure of how to navigate the volatile situation before him. A gentle nudge from Jackson prompted him to take charge, and he cleared his throat, mustering up the courage to address the tense group.

"I called you here to keep you all safe, not to kill each other," Namjoon stated firmly, his voice cutting through the heavy silence in the room. The attention of everyone turned towards Taehyung and Jimin, their glares filled with animosity and unresolved conflict, a visible reminder of the simmering tensions that threatened to escalate at any moment. The gravity of Namjoon's words hung in the air, a plea for peace amid the storm of emotions that enveloped them all.

Yoongi, with a scowl on his face, couldn't contain his annoyance as he observed the dramatic scene unfolding before him. "Great, just what I needed," he muttered sarcastically. "A soap opera reunion starring a bunch of kids who can't seem to grow up. I'm done with this circus." He rolled his eyes and began to make his way towards the exit, a clear sign of his frustration with the situation. However, before he could leave, Namjoon's stern voice halted his departure.

"Not now, Mr. Yoongi. I am clearly not in the mood. You won't leave until I say so," Namjoon's warning carried a tone of authority, causing Yoongi to sigh in annoyance. Reluctantly, he acquiesced, sitting back down in his seat with a resigned expression, knowing that he was unable to leave until the situation had been resolved.

"Now, as you all know that a killer is out there, it is not safe for you all. I want all of you to stay here, together, until we find a way to track the killer," Namjoon's authoritative voice echoed through the room, commanding the attention of everyone present. The unexpected proposal caused a ripple of uncertainty to sweep through the group, their eyes darting to each other in surprise and disbelief at the new directive.

"Together? Seriously? I am out," Taehyung declared resolutely, pushing himself up from his seat with determination. His girlfriend followed suit, standing by his side, ready to walk away from the tense situation unfolding in the room.

"Well, I am not interested too. Can I leave now?" Yoongi's voice dripped with annoyance as he voiced his discontent, his gaze meeting the disapproving glares of the rest of the group. His impatience and desire to distance himself from the gathering were evident.

"What did you expect from Kim Taehyung? Typical him. Only care about himself, of course," Jimin mocked, his words laced with bitterness. The taunting remark struck a nerve in Taehyung, who swiftly moved towards Jimin, his hand tightly gripping Jimin's collar as he retaliated.

"Well, last time I checked, I was the one who got stabbed by that blue-eyed bastard, and clearly I haven't seen you anywhere there," Taehyung spat back, his voice filled with anger and frustration. The confrontation between the two escalated, threatening to ignite a new wave of violence within the room, mirroring the intense emotions that had fueled their previous fight.

"Hey, you two. Calm down," Namjoon intervened, attempting to separate Taehyung and Jimin before their conflict spiraled out of control. His voice carried a firm tone, emphasizing the need for restraint and unity amidst the chaos.

Interrupted by Namjoon, Taehyung and Jimin momentarily paused, their fiery gazes locked. However, before either of them could respond, Y/N, clearly disinterested in getting caught up in the escalating fight, made her decision known.

"I am out," she declared firmly, her voice tinged with a mix of frustration and resignation. Y/N slowly walked towards the door, her message for departure further adding to the splintering dynamics within the room.

"Y/N, you are the one who is in the most danger. Considering he had tried to attack you yesterday, there is a high chance he--"

"What?" The collective response echoed through the room, surprise etched on the faces of everyone except for the trio who had been present during the incident.

"He attacked her? When?" Taehyung's voice pierced the air, his eyes widening in disbelief as he sought clarification.

"Yah, why didn't you inform us earlier?" Jin scolded, his voice tainted with a mix of concern and annoyance.

"Why- what- why didn't you say that earlier?" Jungkook's confusion was evident as he questioned Y/N, trying to comprehend why such crucial information had been withheld.

"Aish," Jimin sighed, realizing the gravity of the situation and the implications of not knowing about the attack sooner. His frustration mingled with a sense of responsibility towards their collective safety. Namjoon, feeling the weight of the unfolding events, swept a hand through his hair in frustration.

"Apparently, Y/N was attacked by Jaemin yesterday night," Jackson hurriedly explained, his words adding another layer of complexity to the already tense atmosphere.

"Jae- Jaemin?" Eunwoo's voice stuttered as he processed the unexpected revelation, his eyes widening in disbelief. Namjoon facepalmed in frustration, realizing the complications this new information brought to their already fragile situation.

"Wah! What else are you hiding from us?" Jin's anger reverberated through his words, a mix of frustration and concern evident in his tone. The trust within the group had been further strained by the unfolding revelations, leaving them feeling vulnerable and uncertain.

"What-" someone began to speak, their voice cut off by Namjoon.

"Could you all just stop for a second?" Namjoon's frustration came through in his tone as he raised his voice, seeking to restore some semblance of order amidst the chaos. "Is it my fault you all were at each other's throats when I came? I was about to explain the situation, and you all are were so desperate to leave. What did I do?"

The room fell into a heavy silence as Namjoon's words hung in the air, his plea for understanding and cooperation cutting through the tension. The weight of realization settled upon them, acknowledging their collective responsibility for the turmoil that had unfolded. They looked at each other, their expressions softened by a sense of recognition that their impulsive actions had only exacerbated the already strained atmosphere.

"Can you please explain now?" Jaehyun's voice broke the silence, his request laced with a newfound willingness to listen. Namjoon nodded, grateful for the opportunity to provide the full explanation and bridge the gap in understanding among the group.

"Like he said, Y/N was attacked yesterday, and the assailant had the exact same blue eyes as Jaemin. She also mentioned seeing him at the cremation ceremony of Ryujin," Namjoon further clarified, his explanation sinking in and leaving everyone in a state of shock.

"B-but he is in prison, right?" Jaehyun asked, his confusion evident in his voice as he tried to reconcile the information with what he believed to be true.

"There is no way he can get out in five years," Eunwoo interjected, his voice filled with disbelief and concern.

"Actually, he is no longer in prison," Namjoon informed them, his words causing an eruption of shocked exclamations from the group.

"What?!" The unified gasp filled the room, eyes widening with a mix of fear and anticipation.

"Yeah, I checked. Someone bailed him out. The details are yet to be discovered. But, his release makes him our first suspect," Namjoon stated, his voice carrying a sense of urgency and determination. The revelation that Jaemin had been freed from prison only fueled the already mounting sense of danger and suspicion in the room. The pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place, painting a clearer picture of the threats they were facing and narrowing down their focus on the potential perpetrator.

"But what if it's someone else trying to do it with his mannerisms?" Jungkook's question hung in the air, garnering a mix of curious and apprehensive looks from the rest of the group.

"Yah, remember last time you all thought I was the killer?" Jungkook stated matter-of-factly, his words serving as a cautionary reminder. The memories of their previous suspicions and the dangers of jumping to conclusions lingered in their collective consciousness, causing the others to nod in understanding.

The room fell into a contemplative silence as they reflected on the unpredictable nature of the situation. They acknowledged the possibility that someone else could be imitating Jaemin's mannerisms and using his past crimes as a cover. The revelation made them acutely aware of the necessity for careful consideration and thorough investigation before jumping to conclusions.

"Well, if you are done, then I am leaving," Y/N stated firmly, determined to assert her independence as she attempted to walk past Namjoon.

"Y/N, it's dangerous out there," Namjoon began, trying to reason with her.

"I am not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself," Y/N interrupted, her voice laced with a mix of frustration and determination. However, her resolve was halted when Jungkook reached out, grasping her arm gently to hold her back.

"Hey, can you just stay? For us?" Jungkook pleaded, his doe-eyed gaze filled with sincerity. Y/N sighed, feeling the weight of their concern and the bonds that tied them together.

"Jungkook—" Y/N began, intending to express her disagreement, but Jungkook swiftly interrupted.

"Okay. Y/N is staying," Jungkook declared firmly, his determination clear in his voice.

"Only if everyone is staying," Y/N asserted, her gaze fixed on Taehyung. "I mean everyone," she emphasized, shifting her gaze to Yoongi.

"Yoongi is staying," Namjoon assured, his voice carrying authority.

Yoongi let out a frustrated sigh as he heard, "For what? To babysit these grownass hormonal teenagers? I'd rather take my chances with the killer than be stuck here with these kids." With a shake of his head, he made it clear that he wasn't keen on being part of the group's drama and chaos.

Namjoon's voice cut through the tension, his words more of a command than a request. "You will stay," he stated firmly, leaving no room for argument. Yoongi let out a resigned sigh, knowing it was futile to resist.

The air was heavy with uncertainty as Namjoon turned his gaze towards Taehyung, silently challenging him. "Anyone else have a problem to stay?" he questioned, his eyes searching for any sign of hesitation. Taehyung let out a sigh of defeat, his shoulders slumping as he made the decision to stay, despite the unease that lingered in the room.

Namjoon's authoritative tone softened slightly as he gave the group their instructions. "Alright. Now, you all can go to your works, classes, and all, but should be here before 6 o'clock," he announced, a sense of order returning to the room. Yoongi, Taehyung, and the others exchanged glances, silently acknowledging the directive.

Turning his attention to a select few, Namjoon continued, "Y/N, Yuna, Beomgyu, and Sunho, I will talk to your principal about your staying." His words conveyed a sense of assurance, a promise that their safety and well-being would be taken care of in his capable hands.

Namjoon's tone turned stern as he issued a final warning to the group. "And I expect all of you to behave. Especially Taehyung and Jimin," he emphasized, his gaze piercing through the room. The gravity of their situation became clear as Namjoon reminded them of their ultimate goal. "You all are here to survive, not to kill each other. Keep that in mind," he cautioned, his words resonating with a sense of urgency.

A sense of unease settled over the group, the weight of Namjoon's words hanging heavy in the air. With a determined nod, Yoongi and the others silently acknowledged the importance of unity in the face of adversity. "We will be here too, just to make sure everything is okay," Namjoon reassured them.

Y/N and Yuna strode through the bustling university corridors, the chatter of students and the shuffling of feet filling the air. Yuna noticed Y/N's searching gaze, a furrowed brow hinting at her determination. "Whom are you looking for?" Yuna asked, her eyes meeting Y/N's with curiosity.

"Huh? Jibin. He asked me for some notes but I couldn't send it to him. So, I brought the notes along," Y/N explained, revealing the book clasped tightly in her hand.

"Oh, the junior from your department? That guy really seems suspicious. It's better to stay away from him," Yuna cautioned, her tone laced with concern. As they walked, the corridors bustling with activity, Yuna's words lingered in the air, a warning of potential danger.

"That junior is not me, right?" Suddenly, a voice emerged from behind, causing both Y/N and Yuna to turn around in surprise. It was Jibin, standing there with a quizzical expression on his face. Yuna stood frozen, shock written across her features, unable to form a coherent response.

"Hey, Jibin. I was searching for you. Here, the notes you asked for," Y/N interjected, swiftly changing the topic to diffuse the tension in the air.

"Oh, you remember? I thought you forgot. Thank you," Jibin replied gratefully, taking the proffered notes from Y/N's hand.

"Sorry, had some problems-" Y/N began, but was cut off abruptly by Jibin's unexpected response, "I know," he stated unknowingly.

"What?" Y/N's voice carried a mix of shock and confusion as she struggled to make sense of his cryptic acknowledgment, the air around them thick with unspoken questions and intrigue. The unexpected exchange left Y/N and Yuna both feeling a sense of unease, wondering what secrets Jibin may hold.

"I mean... I heard about your friend's death. So, it must be hard," Jibin clarified, his words causing Y/N's eyes to narrow with curiosity and suspicion. The mention of the tragedy brought forth a mix of emotions, stirring up the raw grief that still lingered within Y/N's heart.

With a casual wave, Jibin dismissed the topic and abruptly walked away, leaving a sense of unease in his wake.

Yuna sighed softly beside Y/N, her voice barely a whisper, "He really is suspicious." They watched Jibin's retreating figure, their instincts urging caution as they speculated on the secrets he may be hiding.

As Y/N stepped out of Namjoon's car, she took a moment to breathe in the crisp air, feeling a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. With determination in her steps, she made her way to the back of the car to retrieve her luggage, joining the others in their preparations.

In the distance, another car suddenly screeched to a halt, catching everyone's attention. Taehyung and his girlfriend emerged from the vehicle, their presence adding a new dynamic to the group. Y/N watched them closely, noticing the mixture of emotions playing on their faces.

Yoongi, Eunwoo, and Jaehyun who had already arrived inside the house made their way outside when the sound of a car's arrival caught their attention. As they stepped out into the cool air, Yoongi's frustration seeped out of him, voiced in a muttered remark. "Why am I even here?" he grumbled, his exasperation palpable.

Eunwoo glanced at Yoongi, a flicker of empathy crossing his face before turning his attention towards the newcomers. Jaehyun, standing beside them, wore a thoughtful expression, his gaze fixed on the arrival of Taehyung and his girlfriend.

Amidst the flurry of luggage being taken out, another car abruptly came to a halt, drawing everyone's attention. The door swung open, and Jimin emerged, his presence causing a collective reaction from the group. Yoongi couldn't help but let out a tired sigh, muttering under his breath, "Oh god, not again," as he observed the tense exchange between Taehyung and Jimin.

Their gazes locked in a heated glare, Taehyung and Jimin seemed to be on the brink of a confrontation. However, their intense standoff was interrupted when Namjoon cleared his throat, instantly breaking their eye contact.

"I will go and get Jackson and Yeonjun. And I expect everyone to behave."Namjoon announced, his voice carried a stern tone, emphasizing the expectation of good behavior from everyone. With a final glance, Namjoon climbed back into the car and drove off, leaving behind a sense of solemn responsibility.

Y/N remained still, her eyes locked with Taehyung's guilty gaze. The tension between them was palpable, unspoken emotions swirling between them. Taehyung's stare conveyed remorse, a silent acknowledgement of their strained relationship. Y/N's heart ached with conflicting emotions, torn between forgiveness and the need for answers, silently searching for understanding in Taehyung's troubled gaze.

"Hey, Wifey? Let's go," Sunho called out, his voice gently pulling Y/N away from the lingering gaze with Taehyung. He took her luggage and guided her forward, urging her to move along. Y/N's eyes remained fixed on Taehyung, her emotions tumultuous and evident in her lingering stare.

Jimin, observing the scene, felt a pang of longing in his heart. Seeing Y/N's attention solely focused on Taehyung, he couldn't help but feel a momentary ache, a flicker of sadness at the unrequited feelings he harbored for her. However, he quickly composed himself, pushing aside his own emotions to stay focused on the luggage at hand.

As they went their separate ways, each person carried their own thoughts and reflections, their minds swirling with longing, regret, and unease.

Jimin couldn't help but wonder why it had to be Taehyung, even after all the pain he had caused Y/N. The wounds ran deep, and Jimin questioned why fate seemed determined to keep them connected, despite the hurt that lingered.

Sunho's thoughts revolved around the fear of Y/N enduring heartbreak once again. He couldn't help but question why she had to go back to someone who had caused her so much pain before. The thought of her heart being broken anew gnawed at him, filling him with protective concern.

For Taehyung, everything felt like it conspired to keep him and Y/N apart. He realized the weight of his past actions and regretted the hurt he had inflicted upon her. Despite his desire to make amends, he doubted if he could ever truly mend the broken pieces and be with her again.

Y/N was in the midst of drying her hair with a towel when she entered the kitchen. With a swift motion, she flipped her hair back, only to come face-to-face with a figure standing in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat as she recognized the familiar face - it was Jimin, the source of so much recent tension and awkwardness.

"Oh, sorry," Y/N mumbled, the air thick with discomfort as she saw Jimin before her. Jimin's expression was a mix of regret and unease as he awkwardly attempted to wipe off the water droplets that had splashed on him. Their eyes met, the weight of unsaid words hanging in the air.

"It's okay," Jimin replied softly. Y/N simply nodded in response, trying to mask the unease that lingered between them as she reached for a water bottle from the fridge.

"Are you mad at me?" Jimin's question hung in the air, his gaze searching hers for any hint of anger or resentment. Y/N paused, meeting his eyes before taking a sip of the water, her expression unreadable.

"Why would I?" she finally answered, her tone neutral. Despite the tension that simmered beneath the surface, Y/N chose to downplay the complexities of their shared history, opting for a sense of detachment in the face of their current circumstances. .

"You know, I told you that the kiss means nothing and then I said I love you during the fight... So..." Jimin trailed off, his voice tinged with uncertainty as he tried to explain.

"It's okay," Y/N replied softly, her expression guarded as she processed his words. "I- I was shocked when I heard that, that's all. I- should go." With a lingering sense of discomfort, she placed the bottle back in the fridge, a physical barrier between them in that tense moment.

"And... I don't want you two to fight because of me. It's a request," Y/N stated, her voice filled with a mixture of sincerity and apprehension. "Taehyung really likes you, Jimin, and he can't stand you fighting against him."

As she finished speaking, Y/N turned around, only to find Taehyung standing there, a mixture of surprise and uncertainty etched on his face. The atmosphere grew even more tense as the three of them stood in a silent standoff, the weight of unspoken feelings and untangled emotions hanging heavy in the air.

A heavy sigh escaped Y/N's lips as she mustered the strength to walk past Taehyung. Taehyung's heart missed a beat, a desperate longing in his eyes as he watched her, wanting nothing more than to stop her in her tracks. To pull her into a tight embrace and confess that he still loved her, despite the countless times he had broken her heart before.

But the weight of his past mistakes held him back, a barrier he couldn't overcome. The fear of further hurting her crippled his resolve, leaving him helpless as he watched her slip away from him once again. The ache in his chest intensified as he realized that his cowardice had caused irreparable damage to the bond they once shared.

Regret washed over him, mingling with the love he still held for her, but the words he longed to say remained trapped in his throat. Taehyung stood there, silently wrestling with his conflicting emotions, his heart heavy with the knowledge that he had let her down once more.

Jimin's gaze locked onto Taehyung, disbelief etched across his face as he watched Taehyung let Y/N walk away without making an effort to stop her. In that moment, Jimin's conflicting emotions were laid bare. Even though he loved Y/N, he had always supported their relationship, wanting nothing more than for them to be together. The realization of Taehyung's culpability in breaking her heart struck a chord within him.

With a heavy sigh, Jimin decided to make his own statement as he walked past Taehyung. A rush of frustration and pent-up emotions surged through him, and he directed that energy into a deliberate shoulder bump, causing Taehyung to stumble.

The impact of the collision jolted Taehyung, both physically and emotionally. The consequences of his actions weighed heavily on him as he struggled to find his footing amidst the remnants of their shattered relationships.
