For Jungkook's birthday, his friends J-Hope and Jimin wanted to give him the most unforgettable gift. After much thought, they visited a shaman who crafted a mystical wishing candle—each time it was lit and blown out, a wish would come true. Excited about their idea, they placed the candle on Jungkook's cake, eager to see his reaction.

But when Jungkook blew out the candle and made a wish, the atmosphere shifted. The lights flickered, the room chilled, and in their midst appeared a shadowy figure—something dark, something not of this world. Instead of granting Jungkook's wish, the candle had summoned a demon.

Now, J-Hope, Jimin, and Jungkook must figure out how to reverse the dark magic and send the demon back, before things spiral out of control on what was supposed to be a joyful birthday celebration.

The Birthday Surprise

It was a cool autumn evening in Seoul, the kind where the air felt crisp and invigorating, carrying a slight chill that hinted at the approaching winter. The sun had dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in deep hues of violet and indigo, with just a hint of amber clinging to the edges of the clouds. The city lights blinked on one by one, casting a warm glow over the bustling streets below. But high above it all, in a quiet corner of the city, the atmosphere was quite different inside Jungkook's apartment.

Jungkook's place was nestled in a high-rise building, far enough from the chaotic buzz of the city center but close enough that the distant hum of traffic could still be heard faintly through the closed windows. His apartment was a blend of modern and cozy—a minimalist design with sleek furniture, neutral tones, and personal touches scattered here and there. On the walls were framed photos of friends, and the scent of freshly brewed coffee lingered in the air, mixing with the faint smell of incense he liked to burn when he wanted to relax.

Tonight, though, his apartment was anything but peaceful.

Jimin and J-Hope had taken over the living room, turning it into a whirlwind of birthday decorations and party preparations. The coffee table was cluttered with a variety of snacks, drinks, and colorful party hats. A banner that read "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNGKOOK" hung crookedly from the ceiling, and balloons were strewn haphazardly across the floor, some half-deflated from the overly enthusiastic attempts of J-Hope trying to blow them up.

"Hyung, why did you buy so many balloons? We're only three people!" Jimin whined, his voice carrying that familiar draggy tone, half exasperated, half amused. He was crouched on the floor, trying to untangle a mess of streamers that seemed to have a life of their own. His fingers, nimble and precise, still managed to struggle against the colorful knots.

J-Hope, however, was undeterred by Jimin's complaints. With his usual ball-of-sunshine energy, he was zipping around the room, adjusting the decorations with exaggerated enthusiasm. He paused only briefly to flash Jimin a wide grin, his dimples deepening as he did. "It's called creating an ambiance, Jiminie. We're setting the mood! You'll thank me when Jungkook walks in and sees all this. It's gonna blow his mind!"
