The sun barely peeked over the horizon when the doorbell rang, jolting everyone awake.

"Who the hell is that at this ungodly hour?" Yoongi grumbled, still half-asleep as he dragged himself out of bed.

"Maybe it's Gerald," Namjoon guessed, yawning as he stretched his arms. "He did say something about an inspection."

"I swear, if this inspection starts with a PowerPoint presentation, I'm throwing hands," Jungkook muttered, shuffling towards the door.

Y/n, already in the kitchen making coffee, glanced at the clock. "It's 6 a.m.! Who schedules inspections this early? Wait! The TV is already fixed though! Look at it. Did Gerald fix it while we were sleeping?"

Jimin, who had somehow managed to wake up looking like he'd had a full night's sleep, smirked. "Well, at least we'll get it over with quickly. Then we can go back to... whatever it is we do now."

"Surviving magical chaos?" Taehyung offered, pouring himself a cup of coffee.

Jin opened the door, expecting to see Gerald in his crisp suit, clipboard in hand. But instead, they were met with the sight of an enormous man wearing a deep purple coat, his dark hair tied back in a low ponytail. His face was hidden under the staff, its tip glowing ominously. Behind him, a group of small, hunchbacked minions scurried around, muttering to each other as they carried an assortment of strange-looking gadgets.

Jin blinked, taking a step back. "Uh... you're not Gerald."

The man tipped his hat slightly, revealing a sinister grin. "Captain Hook, at your service. I've come to reclaim what belongs to me."

"Hook?" Y/n repeated, eyes wide. "As in Peter Pan's Hook? The guy who really, really hates clocks?"

"Correction," Hook sneered, stepping inside with an air of grandiosity, "the guy who really, really hates that insufferable boy and his flying companions. But today, I've come for something far more valuable."

"Why does every villain think they can just waltz into my house?" Y/n muttered under her breath, but loud enough for the others to hear.

"Maybe we should install a doorbell that electrocutes intruders," Jungkook suggested with a shrug, clearly amused by the chaos.

As Hook strode into the living room, inspecting the furniture with disdain, his minions scattered, poking at everything with their strange devices. One of them tapped a lamp, and it immediately flickered on and off as if it were having a seizure.

"What's this guy's deal?" Jimin whispered to Yoongi, who was leaning against the kitchen counter, sipping his coffee.

"Probably something to do with lost treasure or eternal grudges. They all seem to have that in common," Yoongi replied nonchalantly, taking another sip.

Taehyung narrowed his eyes at Hook, who was now examining a bookshelf with far too much interest. "What exactly do you think belongs to you, Hook?"

Hook turned to face him, his eyes narrowing as if weighing his words carefully. "I'm searching for a particular map. One that leads to a place of unimaginable power. A place where I can finally exact my revenge on that blasted Peter Pan."

"A map?" Y/n repeated, scratching her head. "You're in the wrong place, pal. The only maps I have are the ones that lead to the grocery store."

"I assure you, this is no ordinary map," Hook said, his voice dripping with condescension. "And I know it's here. My sources never fail me."

"Sources, huh? Let me guess," Jin quipped. "You found it on 'Pirate eBay'?"

"Very funny," Hook snarled, not amused by the joke. "I suggest you cooperate, or things might get... unpleasant."
