They pulled up to Jungkook's mansion, the car came to a stop, and Jungkook quickly got out to open the door for Taehyung. His smile was sweet and gentle, a rare sight that made Taehyung's heart skip a beat.

"Welcome home, Tae." Jungkook said, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he offered a hand to help him out of the car.

Taehyung took it, feeling a spark of electricity as their palms touched. Jimin followed, his eyes fixed on the mansion with a mixture of curiosity and wariness.

As they approached the entrance, Jin hyung flung open the door, a warm smile spreading across his face

As they approached the entrance, Jin hyung flung open the door, a warm smile spreading across his face. "Ah, welcome, my dear boys! Come in, come in! Let us talk."

He ushered them inside, his eyes shining with a knowing glint. Jungkook led the way, Taehyung and Jimin following closely behind, their hearts pounding with anticipation.

As they entered the grand foyer, the door closed behind them with a soft click, and Jin hyung gestured for them to follow him. "Let us go to the study. The truth awaits..."

And with that, they disappeared into the depths of the mansion, the silence broken only by the soft creaking of the wooden floorboards beneath their feet.

Jin hyung led them to the living room, where Namjoon and Yoongi were already seated on the plush couch, their eyes fixed on the newcomers with a mixture of curiosity and concern.

"Ah, thank you for joining us," Jin hyung said, his voice warm and welcoming. "Please, let us sit and talk."

The six of them arranged themselves on the couch, the tension palpable as they settled in. Jin hyung and Namjoon sat on one side, Yoongi and Jimin on the other, with Taehyung and Jungkook in the middle, their eyes locked on Jin hyung as he began to speak.

"My dear boys," Jin hyung said, his voice low and serious. "The time has come to reveal the secrets that have been hidden for so long."

Taehyung's heart raced as he glanced at Jungkook, who was watching Jin hyung with an unreadable expression. Jimin and Yoongi exchanged a nervous glance, while Namjoon's eyes narrowed, his mind already racing with possibilities.

"The truth is not always easy to hear," Jin hyung continued, his eyes sweeping over them. "But it is necessary. For your futures, and for the fate of our world, depend on it."

And with that, the room fell silent, the only sound the soft ticking of the clock on the mantle, counting down the seconds until the revelation that would change their lives forever.

"But before I reveal the secret," Jin hyung said, his eyes fixed on Jungkook, "Jungkook, tell them what I told you about how to break the curse."

Jungkook's eyes flashed back to a memory, a flashback playing in his mind like a movie.

-FLASHBACK-

Jungkook's heart raced with hope. "Tell me, hyung. What do we need to do?"

And with that, Jin hyung began to reveal the steps to break the curse, his voice low and mysterious. "The curse can only be broken by the Devil King himself. We need to find the devil who cursed you, Jungkook."
