AFTER TWO MONTHS

The bustling hum of the cafeteria filled the air as Y/N carefully maneuvered through the sea of students, a tray laden with an assortment of drinks in hand. The tray bore the weight of steaming coffee mugs, a delicate teacup, and a tall glass of fizzy soda, each emanating its unique aroma.

"Here," Y/N's voice carried over the chatter as she deftly placed the drinks on the table, a smile adorning her face. The clinking of glasses ceased as her friends each reached for their preferred drink, expressing gratitude with heartfelt thanks.

However, her smile faltered slightly as her gaze landed on Kim Taehyung, who was sneakily raising her caramel macchiato to his lips. "Yah, Kim Taehyung, that's mine," Y/N playfully scolded, reaching out to tug the cup away from him.

Taehyung pouted, his lips forming a slight frown as he reluctantly handed the drink back. "God, this girl is so scary," he muttered.

"Finally, hyung is scared of someone," Jungkook remarked, a mischievous glint in his eye as he teased Taehyung.

"I am not your hyung," Taehyung replied in a serious tone, a hint of nostalgia flickering in his eyes as they shared a knowing glance. The memory of an earlier time when Taehyung had uttered the same words in a fiercely spirit resurfaced, causing both him and Jungkook to burst into laughter.

Y/N glanced at Taehyung and Jungkook, a warm smile spreading across her face at the sight of the two former rivals now sharing laughter and camaraderie. It was a heartwarming moment to witness the bond of friendship that had blossomed between the once competitive pair.

Suddenly her thoughts drifted back to that fateful night, a shiver running down her spine as she recalled the horror of the attack. She remembered the fear that had gripped her heart as she cried out for Taehyung as his unconscious form lying before her.

FLASHBACK

Namjoon's voice echoed through the library as he and the police force scoured the room, their eyes darting from one corner to another. The sudden influx of students from the cafeteria caused a stir, with puzzled expressions and whispers spreading through the crowd. Jin, catching sight of Namjoon amidst the commotion, approached him with a mix of concern and curiosity etched on his face.

"What happened?" Jin questioned, his voice filled with a sense of urgency.

Namjoon's gaze focused on Jin, his eyes searching for answers. "Where is Jaemin?" He inquired, his voice laced with determination.

"I don't know," Jin answered honestly, his brows furrowed with concern. "Have you seen Y/N?" Namjoon pressed on, a sense of urgency in his voice.

"No, is something wrong?" Jin's tone reflected a growing unease as his mind raced to connect the dots.

Namjoon took a deep breath, the weight of the revelation heavy on his shoulders. "Jaemin is the killer. Y/N called us," he revealed, the words hanging in the air as a collective gasp rippled through the room. The realization of the danger they were in sent shockwaves through the students, fear and disbelief etched across their faces as they grappled with the truth.

"Officer, I saw her running to here about forty-five minutes ago. Oh, and Taehyung hyung searched for her. He must know where she is," Beomgyu offered, his voice filled with a hint of relief as he provided key information. Namjoon turned to Beomgyu, his expression a mix of anticipation and gratitude.

"Yeah, Taehyung came here," Jin chimed in, his voice filled with urgency. "He asked me if there is any rooms that are currently closed."

Namjoon's attention sharpened as he listened intently. "Is there any?" he questioned, his voice brimming with anticipation.

A moment of silence hung in the air, as Jin spoke up, his words carrying a chilling revelation. "The basement in the restricted area is closed for years now," he revealed, the weight of his words sinking in as the truth loomed over them.

"Taehyung ssi? Wake up, come on... wake up, please!" Y/N screamed, her voice filled with desperation as she clung to him, shaking him in a futile attempt to rouse him. Ryujin stood nearby, her gaze filled with sadness, fully aware of the gravity of the situation.

Namjoon swiftly opened the door, his eyes widening as he took in the devastating scene before him — Y/N on the floor, inconsolable and holding onto the unconscious Taehyung. His heart clenched with concern as he immediately shouted, "Call an ambulance!" The urgency in his voice echoed through the room, emphasizing the need for immediate medical attention.

With swift determination, Namjoon rushed towards Y/N, his voice laced with empathy as he called out to her, "Y/N." He knelt down beside her, offering a steadying presence and ready to provide any support he could in that moment of deep anguish.

"Officer... Tae... he..." Y/N's voice cracked as she struggled to form the words, her tears making it difficult to speak.

Namjoon wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a gentle embrace, offering solace and comfort in her moment of distress. He softly patted her back, trying to provide some measure of reassurance amidst the overwhelming pain.

"Hey, don't worry," Namjoon whispered, his voice filled with compassion and determination. "We will save him. I promise." His words held a steadfast resolve, meant to instill hope in Y/N's heart, even as despair threatened to consume her.

Y/N slowly returned to reality, her gaze refocusing as Taehyung playfully waved his hand in front of her, facebreaking her from her reverie.

"Huh? What?" Y/N blinked, momentarily disoriented by the sudden interruption of her thoughts.

Taehyung's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he observed her dazed expression. "Are you even here?" he asked, his tone filled with both amusement and curiosity.

"Sorry. I just-" Y/N's words were abruptly cut off as Taehyung leaned in, his lips tenderly pressing against hers. The world seemed to momentarily fade away as his affectionate gesture surprised her. In that stolen moment, she could taste the sweetness of Taehyung's affection and the unspoken emotions lingering between them.

"What was that for?" Y/N mumbled against his breath, her voice filled with a mixture of confusion and fondness.

"You are too cute. I can't resist," Taehyung murmured, a warm and genuine smile gracing his lips. The gentle touch of his words stirred a flutter within her heart, melting away any remaining worries or distractions.

"By the way, your drink is sweet," Taehyung remarked, a mischievous glimmer dancing in his eyes as he playfully touched his lips.

Y/N couldn't help but roll her eyes, a light slap landing on Taehyung's arm. "You're incorrigible," she chuckled, a mix of exasperation and fondness lacing her voice.

Their conversation was interrupted when Woojin interjected, breaking the lighthearted atmosphere. "Have you all seen Ryujin?"

"Yeah, I'm here," Ryujin's voice chimed in as she approached the table, a tray of delectable snacks in her hands.

A sudden curiosity glinted in Woojin's eyes as he spoke, "Someone is waiting for you in the library."

"Huh? Me?" Ryujin asked, her voice tinged with surprise. Intrigued by the unexpected news, she placed her untouched drink down and made her way towards the exit, anticipation building within her as confusion filled in her mind.

-

As Ryujin entered the library, the hushed stillness greeted her. The shelves stood tall and untouched, while an eerie silence hung in the air. She called out tentatively, her voice echoing through the empty space.

"Hello?" Ryujin's voice rang out, followed by an uneasy pause. "Is anyone here?" she asked, her voice tinged with a hint of trepidation. Suddenly, the lights above flickered, casting dancing shadows across the room.

-

Back in the bustling cafeteria, the weight of breaking news fell heavily upon the unsuspecting students. The lively chatter was abruptly silenced as the crackling voice of the news anchor filled the room.

"Breaking News," the anchor's voice echoed, causing a collective intake of breath. "Jaemin, the murderer of four students in Seoul University, had escaped from the cell today…"

A thick air of unease settled over the cafeteria as the gravity of the situation sank in. Whispers of concern and fear circulated among the students, their once animated surroundings now consumed by an atmosphere of apprehension.

-

"Hello? Is someone here?" Ryujin called out, her voice trembling with fear as the silence enveloped her.

A chilling sensation crept up her spine, causing her to shiver involuntarily. A sense of foreboding washed over her, as if a presence loomed just a hair's breadth away. She gulped, her heart pounding in her chest, a bead of sweat forming on her brow.

And then, as if from the darkest depths of her nightmares, a low, haunting voice whispered against the nape of her neck, sending a shudder through her entire being. With the next bone-chilling words, the world seemed to freeze, leaving her paralyzed with terror.

"Did you miss me, Ryujin ssi?"
