Namjoon ran his hand through his hair, clearly frustrated. "What in the Arceus is this?" he muttered under his breath, pacing back and forth in the room. 

He had been racking his brain, running through a myriad of possibilities, each more outlandish than the last. Time travel? That sounded impossible. Could Chris be some sort of ghost? His skin did look oddly pale, almost unnatural, but still... ghosts?

"Well, that's a wild guess, even for me" Namjoon thought to himself, trying to stay grounded in reality despite the bizarre circumstances.

The others sat in various states of distress. Yoongi was silent, his eyes focused on the ground, while Jimin still looked shaken, Taehyung and Jungkook on either side of him, offering quiet support. Hoseok stood by the window, his face a mixture of confusion and anger. Jin remained close to Namjoon, trying to make sense of it all. The air was thick with tension as everyone tried to piece together the puzzle of Chris's sudden and inexplicable reappearance.

Just then, a familiar notification sound broke the silence. Namjoon's phone vibrated on the table. He quickly grabbed it, realizing it was a message. He glanced at Jin, who nodded, encouraging him to check it out. 

Namjoon opened the message, half expecting to see some random message or perhaps a lighthearted joke from one of the spam messages. However, what he saw made his blood run cold.

The message was from an unknown number, but the content made it clear who had sent it.

[Unknown Number]
Hey there, Bangtan Boys.
Hope you enjoyed our little reunion.
Don't think this is over yet.
I'm just getting started.

Namjoon's hands tightened around his phone. He glanced up at the others, his face pale. "It's from him," he said quietly, showing them the screen. The room fell silent as everyone gathered around to read the message.

"What does he want from us?" Jungkook's voice broke the silence, a mix of fear and anger. "Why is he doing this?"

Yoongi finally spoke up, his voice low and measured. "Chris... he was always about power. He thrived on control and manipulation. I don't know how he's back or why, but I'm sure he's planning something."

"Why now, though?" Jin asked, his brows furrowed. "Why would he show up now, after all this time?"

Hoseok crossed his arms, staring at the message with a mixture of defiance and worry. "Whatever his reason, we need to be prepared. He's clearly trying to get into our heads, to make us feel afraid."

Namjoon nodded. "He's playing a game, and we're his pieces. But we're not going to let him win. We need to figure out what he wants and how he's doing all of this."

Jimin, still visibly shaken, looked up at Namjoon. "Hyung, what if... what if he wants something... from us?"

A shiver ran through the group at Jimin's words. Namjoon knew they needed answers, and they needed them fast. Chris's appearance was more than just a coincidence; it was a threat. One that they would have to face together.

Namjoon took a deep breath, trying to steady his racing thoughts. "Okay, first things first. We need to find out everything we can about Chris. His past, his connections, anything that might give us a clue as to how he's back and what he's planning."
