Jeon Jungkook completed his graduation in business. He is sweet but only for his family and cold for others. He is doing an internship in his father's company and waiting for the right time to take over the CEO position, so when his father offered h...
Taehyung came downstairs with his luggage, and the family stared at him in surprise.
Yoongi: “Bear, you freshened up so quickly today.” He raised an eyebrow playfully, and they all burst out laughing.
Jimin: “Yooni, did you forget? He loves nature. Of course he’ll be ready before all of us.” He teased, nudging Yoongi.
Tae: “Yaah! Why are you like this?” Taehyung pouted, making them coo at him instantly.
Namjoon: “Alright, my sweet brother, let’s get going.” With nods all around, they headed to the car, and Yoongi started driving.
They chatted on the way, reminiscing about old memories. As always, Namjoon and Yoongi had planned their twice-a-year vacation together.

They finally reached the forest resort. Namjoon handed out the room keys—Yoongi and Jimin shared one room, Namjoon and Jin took another, and since Tae was single, he got his own… the same room where Jungkook had once stayed.
Everyone went to freshen up.
Taehyung admired his room—it was cozy and calm. He grabbed his clothes and headed for a bath. After his shower, feeling a bit drained, he lay down on the bed and drifted into a short nap.
Later, Tae got a call from Namjoon asking him to come down to the resort hall. When he arrived, he saw his family already settled on the sofa.
Namjoon: “We’re heading to the lake. Are you guys ready?” He smiled brightly.
All (except Yoongi): “YES!!” they cheered.
Yoongi: “Let’s go then.” He grinned and dragged them all along.
They began walking, chatting among themselves. Jin and Jimin held Tae’s hands protectively.

Tae: “Hyungs, where’s the lake?”
Namjoon: “Hold on, bear. Just 15 more minutes. It’s nearby, we’re just walking slowly.”
Jin: “Aishh, we’re really crawling at this point. No wonder he’s asking!” They all laughed, and Tae pouted… but he joined in the laughter too.

They all stopped, gasping.

Them: “Wow...!!”
A breathtaking lake spread out before them.
Tae: “This place is really beautiful…” he whispered, eyes sparkling with awe.
As they admired the view, Tae quietly slipped away, drawn to explore deeper into the area without saying anything to the others.

He walked further, the path slowly darkening the deeper he went.

The place felt eerie—not frightening, but strange. He found himself wondering how animals could even live in such a silent, still place. Lost in thought, he suddenly heard a noise.

He turned his head quickly… but nothing was there.
He didn’t notice the tree root in front of him.
𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸—
His foot twisted, and he stumbled to the ground.
The noise came again—this time closer.
Tae sat up, heart thudding, glancing around.
No one.
Nothing.
But then… something flickered in the corner of his eye. His breath caught.
