~Jungkook's POV~

It had been a few days since Taehyung and I started talking on the app. With each passing day, I learned more about him, and it became increasingly clear how deeply lonely he felt.

One evening, as we were chatting, Taehyung typed out a message that made my pulse quicken. "JJK, can I tell you something I've never told anyone?"

My heart skipped a beat. I was eager to hear what he had to say. "Of course, V. I'm here for you. What's on your mind?" I replied quickly, my fingers hovering over the keyboard, my curiosity piqued.

Taehyung's response came after a slight pause, as if he was gathering the courage to share something profound. "I've always felt like I'm searching for something, someone special, but I don't know what or who it is. Everyone expects me to be happy with my life, but there's this emptiness inside."

His words struck a chord with me, stirring an unsettling mixture of empathy and a deeper, more consuming interest. What could this boy possibly need that he hadn’t found yet? My mind raced as I crafted my reply, determined to offer him comfort while keeping him hooked.

"It's incredibly brave of you to share that, V," I typed, my voice soft but intense. "It's okay to feel that way. Sometimes, it takes time to find what truly makes us happy. Have you ever thought about what that might be?"

He hesitated before responding, and I could almost see him grappling with his thoughts. "Not really. I just know it's not what everyone else thinks it should be. I guess I'm looking for something deeper, a connection that feels real."

His words were like a puzzle piece slipping into place. I could feel his search for something more, something that I could uniquely offer. I wanted to dive deeper, to unravel what he truly needed.

Taehyung continued, his messages tinged with vulnerability. "It's hard for me to trust people. I don't know who is real and who is fake. I just... find it hard to believe in genuine connections."

The more he shared, the more obsessed I became. His loneliness, his struggle to find authenticity these were pieces of a puzzle I was determined to solve. I reassured him, my replies carefully crafted to make him feel safe and understood.

"It’s okay to feel that way, V," I typed, my tone filled with a false sense of comfort. "It's perfectly normal to question who is real and who isn’t. Remember, being different from everyone else is what makes you unique. It’s okay to feel lost sometimes."

There was a pause, and I could sense his hesitance. Finally, Taehyung admitted, "There’s more about me, JJK. I’m scared to tell anyone about it."

My mind raced with curiosity and anticipation. What else could he possibly have to reveal? "You can tell me anything, V. If you’re comfortable, I’m always here to listen," I encouraged, hoping he would confide more in me.

But instead of opening up further, Taehyung shifted the topic, leaving me both intrigued and frustrated. The mystery surrounding him only fueled my obsession.

Over the next few days, Taehyung seemed to grow more comfortable with me, and I could sense his increasing confidence. He would message me constantly, sharing every detail of his day from his morning routine to his late-night thoughts. It was as if I had become the center of his world, and it drove me wild.

Every time he reached out, I found myself more captivated, more consumed by the need to be the one who filled the emptiness he felt. The more he talked, the more I wanted to be his everything the one he relied on, the one who understood him better than anyone else ever could.

My obsession deepened with every message he sent. The idea of him opening up to anyone else was unbearable. I needed him to stay close, to confide in me, and only me. The more he shared, the more I was drawn into the web of my own making, unable to escape the growing desire to be everything he needed.

As we were chatting, Taehyung dropped a bombshell that made my blood boil.

"By the way, today I'm going out with Jimin, his boyfriend, and his boyfriend's friend," Taehyung said casually, as if it was no big deal.

I felt a surge of anger. How could he even consider going out when he was already talking to me? I couldn’t let this slide. "But what will you do with them, V? Why do you need to go out with them when you have me right here?"

Taehyung’s response only fueled my irritation further. "They invited me, and Jimin wants me to meet his boyfriend’s friend."

The nerve of him. He was actually planning to go out with them instead of spending time with me. My frustration turned into possessiveness. Fucking hell, didn’t he understand that I created this app to be close to him? The thought of him meeting other boys was infuriating. I felt a sharp pang of jealousy and possessiveness. He needed to understand that he fucking belonged to me.

"You have me, V. So why are you going out with them? Can't you say no? You don’t need anyone else when I’m right here."

He seemed taken aback by my reaction. "Well, it’s different. It’s good to meet new people in real life too."

Different? Good to meet new people? What the fuck did he mean by that? Who the fuck do you think I am? Am I a fool who just made an app to get to know you? The idea of him spending time with other boys was driving me crazy. I felt a fierce possessiveness take hold. He needed to see how much he meant to me.

"I get it, but do you really need to go? We have such meaningful conversations here. What if you don’t enjoy it? What if you miss talking to me?" I said, trying to hide my jealousy by pretending to be concerned. I hoped he wouldn’t notice my frustration and find it suspicious.

"It’s just one outing, JJK. I promise I’ll tell you all about it when I get back," Taehyung reassured me. But it was clear he was set on going, and that only made me more determined.

Without missing a beat, I quickly opened Instagram and saw Jimin’s story, which revealed their exact location. The sight of it only made me more set on going. Bravo, I thought with a mix of determination and possessiveness. I’m fucking coming. I hurriedly got up and started preparing to head out. There was no way I was letting him spend time with anyone else while I was so deeply involved in his life.
