Taehyung took a deep, shuddering breath as he stood facing the imposing warehouse-like building. The sun had already set, leaving a chill in the evening air. He could feel the nerves fluttering in his stomach, directly resulting from the mysterious phone call he had received earlier. A voice, concealed and unidentifiable, had demanded his presence here, alone, in exchange for HALMEONI. But Taehyung knew in his core that his friends were nearby, ready to jump into action at a moment's notice. Yet, for now, it was his turn to take center stage.

He stepped towards the door and took a deep breath before knocking three times. A minute passed, and then the door creaked open. Taehyung's heart raced as he stepped inside the dimly lit warehouse.

Inside, the air was damp and musty, and Taehyung could feel the cold concrete floor underneath his feet. His eyes scanned the room, looking for any signs of his beloved grandmother. A man stepped out from a corner, his face hidden in the shadows.

"You're here," the kidnapper said, taking a step forward. "Come inside. Your Halmeoni is waiting."

As he walked through the hallways, the kidnapper's voice echoed in his ears. "Remember the rules," the kidnapper said forcefully. "If you want your Halmeoni released unharmed, you must do as I tell you."

Taehyung's mind was racing as he thought of the risks he was taking. He knew that his friends would do anything to save him, but he also knew that they wouldn't hesitate to risk their own lives for him. He couldn't let that happen.

As he walked deeper into the den, he saw that a door was open, revealing a room where Halmeoni was being held captive

As he walked deeper into the den, he saw that a door was open, revealing a room where Halmeoni was being held captive. Tears filled his eyes as he saw the condition she was in - she was weak and bruised, and she looked at him with fear in her eyes.

"Taehyung..." she whispered, her voice barely audible.

"Halmeoni," Taehyung whispered, kneeling beside her. "I'm here. It's okay."

The kidnapper stepped forward-revealing his face,-it was none other than Ji Cheong Sin.''You have one chance to save your grandmother," he said gravely. "If you make a wrong move, I will kill her."

"Ji Cheong sin!!!!! What do you want from me?" Taehyung asks, his voice shaking slightly.

"Everything," Ji Cheong Sin replies, his voice full of malice. "I want everything from you. Your body, your mind, your soul.''

Taehyung stared up at Ji Cheong Sin, his mind reeling from the revelation. He had been preparing himself for some sort of negotiation, not for a demand for his entire being.

"You-you can't be serious," Taehyung stuttered, his heart racing in his chest. "Why would you want...me?"

me?"
