PROLOGUE
The rain pounded against the windows, the relentless downpour punctuated by booming thunder that shook the boy's room. He sat on the edge of his chair, nervously biting his nails while his eyes remained glued to the computer screen. His legs tapped uncontrollably against the floor as he watched the progress bar inch forward, his breath held in anticipation. Finally, as the screen reached one hundred percent, he let out a long sigh of relief, releasing the tension that had gripped him for so long.
But just as quickly as the tension eased, another roar of thunder echoed through the room, followed by a sudden power outage. "Aish.. shibal," he muttered under his breath, frustration and fear mixing in his voice as he rose from his chair. With the flashlight on his phone illuminating his way, he cautiously stepped into the hallway.
The crash that came next shattered the uneasy silence, causing him to jump in fright. "Who's there?" he called out into the darkness, his voice tinged with apprehension as he scanned the shadows. His heart pounded in his chest as he failed to find any source of the noise. With trembling hands, he unlocked his phone and quickly dialed a number.

"Is someone crying?" he muttered to himself, confusion clouding his thoughts as he cautiously made his way towards the dining room.

"J- Jungkook?" she stammered in a panicked voice, her body tense with fear as she looked up at him.
Jungkook squinted in the darkness, trying to place her voice. The sudden flash of lightning briefly illuminated her face, revealing streaks of tears and blood smeared across her features. Confusion and disbelief washed over him as he struggled to understand why she was there, in his home, under such circumstances. And then, his eyes widened in shock as he noticed the knife in her hand, stained with blood.
