6.Hidden intentions

As the first day of their business trip came to an end, Taehyung returned to his room. He was tired from the day's activities, and he needed some time to unwind. Taehyung entered his room and closed the door behind him.

He took a moment to appreciate the view from the window, the unfamiliar cityscape that had become his temporary home.

Jungkook entered his hotel room to find Taehyung already inside. The surprise on his face was evident as he greeted Taehyung with an "Oh! You're here."

Taehyung, who had been in the room, replied, "You're back?"

As the two of them stood there, their eyes met, their gazes lingering just a bit longer than usual. Jungkook's eyes darted around the room, and it dawned on him that there was only one bed. The room's atmosphere grew tenser.

Taehyung, sensing Jungkook's realization, broke the silence. "Don't worry; you can take the bed, and I'll settle on the floor."

Jungkook hesitated, stammering, "Oh, um, it's alright. We can share the bed... it's quite spacious."

Taehyung, with a touch of uncertainty, said, "I-is that so? I mean... I don't want to inconvenience you in any way."

Jungkook gently shook his head, assuring Taehyung, "No, no... I'm totally okay with it."

Taehyung hesitated for a moment but then agreed, "Alright,... if you're sure it's okay."

They both settled into the bed, giving each other a bit of space. The atmosphere in the room felt a little tense, neither of them sure of how to navigate this unexpected situation.

Jungkook turned off the lights, casting the room in darkness, except for the faint glow coming from the streetlights outside.

As they lay side by side in silence, each lost in their thoughts about the closeness they were sharing. The room was filled with a sense of anticipation, as if something significant was about to happen, but neither of them was brave enough to break the silence.

The tension between them was palpable. Taehyung lay down on one side, giving some space between them. Jungkook mirrored his actions, laying down on his side facing Taehyung.

In the dimly lit room, the soft glow from the streetlights painted an intimate atmosphere. For a while, they laid there in silence, each aware of the other's presence, but unsure of what to say or do. Their hearts raced, a mix of excitement and unease filling the room.

Taehyung finally broke the silence, saying, "Well, goodnight, Jungkook."

Jungkook replied, "Goodnight,...Taehyung."

They turned away from each other, their minds filled with thoughts and emotions, making it hard to fall asleep on this unexpected business trip night.

THE EXHAUSTING week of hard work had come to an end, and their project was a success. As they began packing their belongings onto the bus, Jungkook couldn't help but notice that Taehyung was nowhere to be seen. His worry grew, and he turned to Sohee, a hint of concern in his voice.

"Do you happen to know where Taehyung is, Sohee?"he asked.

Sohee, who had witnessed Taehyung with Taemin, replied, "I spotted him not long ago with Taemin."

Jungkook's eyebrows furrowed as he processed this information. Knowing that Taemin held a grudge against Taehyung, he felt a sense of foreboding. Deciding to trust his instincts, he told Sohee, "You all head out first." and set off in search of Taehyung, fearing that something might be amiss.

Jungkook's heart raced as he approached Taehyung's room after hearing disturbing voices. His concern for Taehyung's well-being was overwhelming. The weight of Taemin's ominous presence didn't escape him, and he realized something was seriously wrong.

As Jungkook attempted to open the door to the room, he felt a sense of urgency, his instincts on high alert. He couldn't believe what he was hearing inside. Taehyung's voice, filled with fear and desperation, uttered, "Don't touch me!" Taemin's chilling response only increased Jungkook's worry. Taemin's admission that he had been stalking Taehyung since his first day at the company sent shivers down Jungkook's spine.

Frustration boiled within him as he struggled with the door, trying to enter the room to help Taehyung. The words he could make out from Taehyung were unclear, as if they were muffled or covered.

Jungkook's sense of helplessness mounted, and he couldn't bear the thought of what might be happening to Taehyung behind that door. He screamed, "Open that door!" but the world inside the room remained concealed.

Jungkook rushed to find someone with access to the room key. He finally returned to open the door, but what he found inside left him stunned – an empty room. Panic surged through him, and he saw a speeding car racing away from the scene.

Desperation consumed him as he made a split-second decision to stop the car. He positioned himself in front of it, his heart pounding. The car, with Taehyung lying unconscious inside the car, approached.

The atmosphere was thick with tension as Jungkook sprinted toward the car, determination etched into his features. The vehicle raced towards him. Time seemed to slow as Jungkook positioned himself in its path, his heart pounding like a drum in his chest.

The roar of the engine and the screech of tires filled the air as Taemin, in a state of panic, struggled to regain control of the car. The world narrowed down to this critical moment as Jungkook stood firm, his intent unwavering.

In an instant, he was lifted off the ground as if defying gravity. The sensation was surreal as he felt his body propelled through the air. Time slowed down, and a sense of weightlessness enveloped him.

The chaos and noise were muffled, replaced by an eerie silence as he soared through the air.

His heart seemed to skip a beat. Jungkook's thoughts scattered, and he felt a strange detachment from the world below. The ground grew closer, and the impending impact drew nearer.

The impact was sudden, jolting Jungkook back to reality with a brutal force. He crashed down onto the hard ground. His body skidded briefly, scraping against the unforgiving surface. Pain radiated through him, and the world swirled in a chaotic blur.
