As the days passed, I found myself increasingly drawn to Jasmine, my best friend's wife. Her presence lingered in my thoughts, distracting me from my work and filling me with a sense of longing that I couldn't shake. Despite my best efforts to resist, I couldn't deny the growing attraction I felt towards her.

One evening, as I sat alone in my apartment, I found myself scrolling through old photos of Jasmine and Taehyung. The images sparked a pang of jealousy within me, as I longed to be the one by her side. But I quickly pushed aside those feelings, reminding myself of the boundaries I needed to respect.

However, as the weeks went by, my resolve began to waver. I found myself seeking out opportunities to spend time alone with Jasmine, relishing in her company and craving her attention. Each moment we shared only served to deepen my infatuation, until it consumed every thought and desire within me.

Despite my guilt and the knowledge that I was betraying Taehyung's trust, I couldn't bring myself to pull away. The temptation was too strong, and I found myself spiraling deeper into a web of desire and obsession.

But as I walked the line between friendship and betrayal, I couldn't shake the feeling that my actions would have consequences. I knew that I was playing with fire, but I was powerless to resist the pull of Jasmine's magnetic presence.

And so, as I continued to dance on the edge of temptation, I couldn't help but wonder how long it would be before everything came crashing down around me.

Jasmine called me. Jasmine's voice pierced through the haze of my thoughts, pulling me back to reality. "Can you go to the vet with me? I think Yeontan is sick," she said, her tone laced with concern.

Without hesitation, I agreed, pushing aside my inner turmoil to focus on her and her beloved dog. "Of course, I'll be right there," I replied, my heart racing with a mixture of worry and anticipation.

As we made our way to the vet, I couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility wash over me. Despite the complexities of our situation, I knew that I had to be there for Jasmine, to support her in any way that I could.

And so, as we sat in the waiting room, anxiously awaiting news about Yeontan's condition, I found myself silently praying for his recovery. In that moment, all I wanted was for him to be okay, for Jasmine to find solace in the midst of her worries.

As the vet emerged from the examination room, I held my breath, bracing myself for whatever news he had to deliver. And when he finally spoke, relief flooded through me as he assured us that Yeontan would be just fine.

With a sense of gratitude and relief, Jasmine and I left the vet's office, our bond strengthened by the shared experience.

I nodded in agreement, grateful that Yeontan was going to be alright. "Luckily Yeontan is fine. If not, I know Taehyung would fly back to see his dog," I remarked, a hint of relief in my voice.

Jasmine let out a small sigh, her worry visibly dissipating. "Yeah, he loves Yeontan more than anything," she replied, a faint smile gracing her lips.

"Thanks for your time, Jungkook."

"You're welcome, Jasmine," I replied with a warm smile. "Anytime you need someone to lean on, I'll be here for you."

"You can go back first. I want to meet my friends," Jasmine said.

"Sure, Jasmine. Just let me know if you need anything," I said, nodding understandingly. "Take care, and give my regards to your friends."

I drove my car, but not to my house. Instead, I followed Jasmine without her noticing it.

Following her was a risky move, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to be close to her, even if it was just from a distance. I kept a safe distance, careful not to arouse any suspicion. With every turn she made, my heart raced faster, knowing that I was treading dangerous waters. But the pull of my obsession was too strong to resist, and I continued to follow her, consumed by the desire to be near her at all costs.

I parked my car nearby and watched from a distance as Jasmine entered the café with her friends. My heart skipped a beat as I observed her interacting with them, her laughter ringing out melodiously. I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as I saw her smiling and chatting with the two men and one girl. Who were they? What was their relationship to her? Questions swirled in my mind as I strained to catch snippets of their conversation from afar. But despite my curiosity, I remained hidden, content to watch Jasmine from a distance, longing to be a part of her world.

As I observed Jasmine and her friends from afar, I realized that these were faces I had never seen before, not even at her wedding with Taehyung. The thought stirred a mixture of emotions within me—curiosity, suspicion, and a tinge of jealousy. Who were these people, and why had Jasmine never mentioned them before? Were they just casual acquaintances, or did they hold a deeper significance in her life? The questions gnawed at me, fueling my desire to uncover more about Jasmine's world, even if it meant delving into the unknown.

As I discreetly observed Jasmine and her friends, one of the men caught my attention. His gaze towards her held an unmistakable intensity, laced with desire. It made me uneasy, stirring a sense of protectiveness over her, despite the fact that I was watching from a distance. His look was possessive, as if he wanted to claim her for himself, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease it instilled within me.

It's took 2 hours for them to have chit chat.

As Jasmine entered the taxi with Yeontan by her side, I made a split-second decision to continue following her, my curiosity piqued by her destination. The thought of her visiting her parents' house stirred a mixture of emotions within me – curiosity, jealousy, and a longing to uncover more about her life outside the confines of our interactions. With each passing moment, my obsession with Jasmine deepened, driving me to delve further into her world, even if it meant crossing lines I never imagined I would.

Despite my growing curiosity about Jasmine's life, the incessant ringing of my phone snapped me back to reality. Reluctantly, I answered, greeted by Jessica's persistent voice on the other end. Her calls had become increasingly frequent, a reminder of the tangled web of relationships I found myself caught in – torn between my loyalty to Taehyung, my growing obsession with Jasmine, and the unwanted advances of Jessica. As I reluctantly engaged in conversation with Jessica, I couldn't shake the feeling that my carefully constructed facade was beginning to unravel, threatening to expose the dark desires and secrets hidden beneath.

Jessica's reminder about the looming due dates grated on my nerves, amplifying the mounting pressure I felt, particularly regarding my manuscript. With a frustrated sigh, I acknowledged her words, my annoyance thinly veiled beneath a thin veneer of resignation. "I know," I muttered, the weight of impending deadlines bearing down on me like a heavy burden. Despite my irritation, I knew that meeting these deadlines was imperative, especially for my manuscript, and I resolved to redouble my efforts to ensure its timely completion.

Confidence surged within me as I contemplated my manuscript. "It's going to be a masterpiece," I asserted, the conviction in my voice unwavering. Despite the challenges and obstacles that lay ahead, I was determined to pour my heart and soul into crafting a work of art that would captivate and enthrall readers. With unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence, I was confident that my manuscript would surpass all expectations and leave an indelible mark on the literary world.

As I grappled with the demands of my work, my thoughts were momentarily interrupted by the sight of Jasmine emerging from her house, her face flushed and tears streaming down her cheeks.

Despite my longing to comfort her, I hesitated, acutely aware of the fact that revealing my presence would betray the fact that I had been following her. Caught in a dilemma between my desire to offer solace and the need to maintain my facade, I remained rooted to the spot, watching her from a distance with a conflicted heart.

As she hailed a taxi and disappeared into the vehicle, a sense of helplessness washed over me. I knew I couldn't continue following her without risking discovery, so I reluctantly watched as the taxi drove away, carrying her back to her home. With a heavy heart, I turned and made my way back to my own abode, consumed by thoughts of what had transpired and what the future might hold.

As night descended, I found myself drawn once again to the familiar sight of Jasmine's house from my window. The soft glow of the streetlights cast a gentle illumination on the scene below, highlighting the contours of the building and the surrounding trees. I sat at my desk, my gaze fixed on her home, a silent sentinel in the darkness. A tumult of emotions stirred within me, a mixture of longing, guilt, and an insatiable desire to be closer to her. Yet, I knew I must keep my distance, bound by the knowledge that my presence could only bring harm. So I watched from afar, a silent observer in the night, my heart heavy with the weight of unspoken truths.

Once more, I was captivated by the graceful movements of Jasmine as she danced in the dim light of her room. Her form swayed to the rhythm of the music, each movement a testament to her effortless beauty and grace. Mesmerized, I watched as she moved with fluidity and precision, lost in the world of her own making. In that moment, she seemed to transcend the boundaries of reality, her spirit soaring free and unbound. It was a sight to behold, a fleeting glimpse into the depths of her soul. And as I watched, I couldn't help but feel a pang of longing, a desire to be part of her world, to share in the beauty of her dance. But I knew that it could never be, for I was merely a spectator, condemned to watch from the shadows, forever yearning for something beyond my reach.

As the soft glow of her bedroom lights faded into darkness, I felt a sense of longing wash over me. With each flicker, it was as though the connection between us was severed, leaving me adrift in a sea of darkness. For a moment, I lingered in the silence, my gaze fixed on the now-empty window where moments before she had danced with such grace and beauty.

In that fleeting moment of darkness, I couldn't help but wonder what lay beyond the walls of her room, what secrets and dreams she held close to her heart. Did she ever think of me, the silent observer who watched from afar? Or was I nothing more than a ghost, a figment of her imagination lost in the shadows?

With a heavy heart, I turned away from the window, knowing that the night held no answers for me. As I retreated into the darkness of my own room, I couldn't shake the feeling of emptiness that lingered within me. And as sleep eluded me once again, I found myself consumed by thoughts of her, the mysterious dancer who had captured my heart in the darkness of the night.

The cold, metallic click of my camera shutter seemed to echo through the room, each sound a stark reminder of the violation I was committing. With each snapshot, I felt a pang of guilt twist in my chest, but still, I couldn't stop myself.

Captivated by her beauty, I captured every delicate curve of her sleeping form, every subtle shift of her expression as she dreamt. Each image was a testament to my obsession, a tangible reminder of the lines I had crossed in my pursuit of her.

But even as I snapped away, a voice in the back of my mind screamed out in protest, urging me to stop before it was too late. I knew deep down that what I was doing was wrong, that I was betraying her trust in the most intimate of ways.

And yet, I couldn't bring myself to put the camera down. The thrill of capturing her image, of possessing a piece of her that no one else could ever have, was too intoxicating to resist.

But as the final picture was taken, a wave of revulsion washed over me, threatening to drown me in its wake. With trembling hands, I lowered the camera and stumbled out into the night, the weight of my actions heavy upon my shoulders.

As I walked away, the images I had taken burned bright in my mind, each one a haunting reminder of the darkness that lurked within me. And as the guilt and shame threatened to consume me, I knew that I could never undo what I had done, that I would forever be haunted by the memory of that night and the choices I had made.

The silence of the night enveloped me as I made my way back home, each step a heavy burden upon my conscience. The darkness seemed to press in around me, suffocating me with its weight as I wrestled with the guilt of my actions.

As I walked, the images I had taken burned bright in my mind, each one a damning testament to the depths of my obsession. I couldn't shake the feeling of disgust that washed over me, nor the knowledge that I had crossed a line from which there could be no return.

But even as I struggled with my own conscience, a part of me couldn't help but revel in the thrill of what I had done. The rush of adrenaline that had coursed through my veins as I watched her sleep, the knowledge that I held power over her in ways she could never comprehend – it was intoxicating in its own twisted way.

But deep down, I knew that what I had done was unforgivable. I had violated her privacy, betrayed her trust, and tarnished the purity of the connection we once shared. And as the first light of dawn began to break over the horizon, I knew that I could never undo the damage I had caused.

With a heavy heart, I finally reached my own doorstep, the weight of my actions hanging heavy upon me. And as I stepped inside and closed the door behind me, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had crossed a line from which there could be no return.
