"In the stormy pursuit of love, no distance is too great and no fear too daunting for a heart driven by possessive devotion."

"Come, let's get you back to the bedroom," Taehyung said, his voice deceptively calm, sending a wave of nausea through Jungkook's stomach.

"W-what is this? Hyun? Who did this?!" Jungkook whispered, standing up and gripping the wall for support as dizziness threatened to overwhelm him.

"It's nothing, rose. Let's go, you need to sleep," Taehyung said, stepping closer to Jungkook.

"I ASKED WHO DID THIS?!" Jungkook shouted, tears streaming down his face. His mind was reeling, unable to make sense of the horror before him.

Taehyung stared at Jungkook for a few seconds before calmly replying, "I did."

Jungkook's world collapsed. He took a step back, not out of fear, but from sheer shock.

"Tae-... no, no, please say it's not true!" Jungkook cried out, his eyes darting between Hyunjin's mutilated body and Taehyung. "Please - you can't be a murderer! We-we have our whole life ahead of us!" His sobs filled the room, the sound raw and heart-wrenching.

"Don't worry about that, baby. I will take care of this. No one will ever know. Like always," Taehyung said, taking another step towards Jungkook.

Jungkook's eyes widened in horror. "You-you did this before as well? How many people have you killed?!" he screamed, his voice breaking with despair.

Taehyung remained eerily calm, a stark contrast to Jungkook's hysteria. "Enough to keep you safe," he said softly.

Jungkook's mind spiraled. Just when he had begun to dream of a happy life with Taehyung, it was all breaking apart. "No... what? How...?" He couldn't form coherent thoughts, the betrayal and terror too overwhelming.

"Shhh, baby. It's all going to be okay. I promised to protect you, didn't I?" Taehyung's voice was gentle, but the underlying menace was unmistakable.

Jungkook backed away further, his heart pounding. "Stay away from me," he whispered, his voice trembling.

Taehyung's eyes darkened, but his smile remained. "You don't mean that, rose. You need me. You always have."

Jungkook's breaths came in ragged gasps as he looked at the man he thought he knew, now a stranger capable of unspeakable acts. The future he envisioned shattered into a nightmare he couldn't escape.

"Rose?" Jungkook whispered, suddenly looking up at Taehyung, everything beginning to make sense. "Who are you?" he asked, his voice trembling.

Taehyung remained calm, his expression unwavering. "Taehyung. I'm your Taehyung," he said, stepping closer to Jungkook.
