Y/N stirred, the soft glow of dawn filtering through her curtains. A yawn escaped her lips as she stretched, the memory of the previous night's comfort with Jimin still lingering. She had sought him out after yet another troubling dream, the shadows of the past creeping back into her mind. But now, in the bright light of day, those fears seemed silly.

As she rose, the cheerful sounds of the house pulled her downstairs. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the laughter of her friends filled the air. Rounding the corner, she found the source of the merriment: Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook were busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. Hoseok, ever the entertainer, was adding his own brand of chaos, dancing around the counter and playfully dodging the flicks of food from the other three.

"Hoseok, if you keep that up, you're going to end up with more pancake batter on your face than in the pan!" Jimin teased, laughing.

Hoseok grinned mischievously. "Hey, it's all part of the experience. Besides, who needs a napkin when you can just lick it off?"

Y/N couldn't help but chuckle at their antics. As she approached, Jimin smiled warmly. "Sleep well? We were just about to head out to the gardens to pick berries for pancakes." His calm presence immediately soothed any lingering unease.

Soon, they were all gathered under the rose arbour, enjoying a leisurely breakfast. The warmth of the sun, the laughter of friends, and the sweetness of the berries filled the air. As they ate, they shared stories, jokes, and secrets.

"Remember that time Taehyung tried to convince us that he could fly?" Jungkook asked, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

Taehyung rolled his eyes. "Hey, it was a phase! Besides, I was pretty sure I was close."

They all burst into laughter, their carefree chatter filling the air. It was a moment of pure contentment, a stark contrast to the shadows that had haunted her dreams.

As Y/N looked around at the happy faces surrounding her, she realized that perhaps this place held no darkness at all. Maybe it was simply a haven of light, a place where shadows were chased away by the warmth of friendship and the joy of being together.

As the morning went on, the fun and games under the rose bushes started to feel a bit off. Dark clouds started to gather, and a cold wind blew, making Y/N shiver. She noticed Jungkook looking at them from a distance, but he didn't look happy.

When their eyes met, Jungkook nodded towards the house and then walked away. Y/N knew something was wrong. He was usually laughing and joking, but now he was quiet and serious.

"Is everything okay?" she asked Jimin. But Jimin just shrugged.

Y/N felt like something bad was going to happen. She decided to go inside and see what was wrong with Jungkook.

As she walked into the house, she saw a man standing in the shadows. He looked scary and serious.

"We need to talk," he said.

Y/N felt a chill go down her spine. She knew that whatever was about to happen, it wasn't going to be good.
