Blood And Lullabies

Chapter 04: The Day Everything Changed

Yn's POV

Today was supposed to be perfect.

I woke up with a smile, my heart fluttering like a butterfly. The school had reopened after a long break, and I couldn't wait to see my best friend Rose again.

I danced around my room while brushing my teeth, even tied my hair with a pink ribbon-just like I used to when I was little.

After breakfast, I left for school, swinging my bag and humming a tune. The air felt light. The sun was shining.

I had no idea... my world was about to be stolen.

Jungkook's POV

"She has no idea what's coming."

I smirked from the back seat of the bulletproof black SUV as we neared the school. The tension in the air was thick. One wrong move... and I would lose control.

"She's ours now. No backing out," Suga muttered, loading his gun-not because he needed to use it. Just out of habit.

Namjoon stared straight ahead. "No mistakes today. No mercy."

"Don't worry, hyung. We'll bring our princess home," Jimin said, his voice sickeningly sweet, but his eyes gleamed with something darker-something twisted.

The school building came into view.

My heart raced.

Our bunny... We're coming.

Yn's POV

As I stepped through the school gates, I was immediately crushed in a bone-breaking hug.

"YNNNNNIIIEEE!" Rose screamed across the corridor and threw herself at me.

I laughed. "Calm down! People are watching."

She grinned. "Let them. I missed you!"

We both laughed and headed to our respective classes, chatting about everything and nothing. For once, life felt... normal.
We caught up during lunch, made plans for the weekend, gossiped like old times.

Everything was normal.

Until it wasn't.

During last period, someone knocked on the classroom door.

A boy came in and whispered to the teacher. Then, he turned to me.

"The principal wants to see you."

I frowned. "Me? Why?"

"No idea."

Whispers echoed behind me as I stood up. I walked the long hallway, my heart thumping-not out of fear, but confusion.

I knocked on the door.

"Come in."

I opened it-and froze.

There were seven men in the room.

Each of them looked like they had stepped out of a fantasy-but the aura around them was deadly. Cold. Powerful. Dangerous.

The principal wouldn't even meet my eyes.

"Good... good afternoon?" I said slowly, clutching my bag tighter.

One of the men stood up-tall, broad, elegant. His presence was commanding. He looked at me with dark eyes full of... something terrifyingly intense.

"Hello, Yn," he said. "We finally meet."
