The sun was rising over the horizon, its warm light filtering through the thin curtains and casting a gentle glow across the living room. Jungkook, Lisa, Jennie, Chaeyoung, Jimin, Taehyung, Jin, and Yoongi sat around the table, the previous night's chaos still weighing heavily on their minds. The room was quiet except for the occasional clinking of cutlery and the low murmur of their voices.

Chaeyoung was the first to break the silence. She looked around at her friends, her eyes reflecting the exhaustion and worry that had taken hold of her. "I still can't get over what happened last night. Jiyeon was crying so much about Sehoon. She was literally falling apart."

Jennie, who had been quietly stirring her coffee, looked up with a worried expression. "Yeah, I heard. She locked him in a room. It's heartbreaking. I can't imagine how scared and overwhelmed she must be."

Jimin sighed deeply, his face reflecting a mix of frustration and sadness. "Everything's just so overwhelming. We're dealing with so much already. And now this with Jiyeon and Sehoon...I'm tired of being stuck here and not knowing anything."

Lisa, who had been scrolling through her phone absentmindedly, suddenly looked up, her face pale. "Wait, hold on. I just got an update. It's about Namjoon oppa. Someone texted me about him."

The room fell silent instantly. Everyone turned their attention to Lisa, their faces tense with anticipation. Lisa took a deep breath, her hands shaking slightly as she read aloud. "It says that Namjoon was in a terrible accident. He was shot in the head and is now in a coma."

The news hit like a punch to the gut. Gasps of shock and disbelief echoed around the room. Taehyung's face went ashen, and he gripped the edge of the table tightly, as if trying to steady himself. "No way. This can't be happening. We were just talking to him. How could this happen so suddenly?"

Yoongi, usually the picture of calm, looked visibly shaken. His eyes were wide with distress as he spoke. "This is too much to handle. We need to get more information about his condition. We need to know how serious it is."

Jin's face was a mixture of anger and determination. He stood up abruptly, his chair scraping loudly against the floor. "We can't just sit here and wait for more news. We need to act. Ohhh God! First Jisoo and Hobi and now Namjoon too?"

Lisa nodded, her face resolute. "I have no idea what is happening. I'm so worried about everyone." She said as she rubbed her temples tears cascading down her soft cheeks. Jungkook wanted to instantly wipe those off and hug her and make her feel better but he couldn't. It would be very weird.

Chaeyoung, her voice filled with concern, spoke up. "Yeah, what about Hobi and Jisoo? They were sent to the emergency medical facility because they suspected antibodies in them. Did they contact any of us?"

Jennie looked down, her eyes clouded with worry. "I haven't heard anything new. I hope they're okay. They've been through so much already. I can't stand not knowing how they're doing."

Jimin's voice was steady, but there was a clear edge of concern in it. "We need to stay strong and stick together. There's so much happening all at once, and it's overwhelming. But we have to be ready to face whatever comes next."

Jin started to organize the group. "Okay, here's what we're going to do. I'll contact Namjoon's family and see if I can get any more information. Lisa, can you keep an eye on any updates about Hobi hyung and Jisoo noona? And the rest of us should stay in touch and support each other."
