His Ultimate Obsession

11.Crossed Paths and Hidden Feelings

On the other hand, the caring nature of Jungkook towards Ragini didn't go unnoticed by the others. The other members of BTS had always known Jungkook to be the youngest in their group, the one who often kept to himself when it came to personal matters. So, when they arrived at the success party and saw how Jungkook's attention was fixated on Ragini, they were taken aback.

Jin was the first to notice, raising an eyebrow as he observed the usually reserved Jungkook hovering near Ragini, making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. It was a side of him that none of them had seen before, a protective, almost possessive demeanor that was usually hidden behind his playful exterior.

"Is it just me, or is Jungkookie acting... different tonight?" Jimin whispered to Taehyung, who was equally perplexed. Taehyung, who had grown close to Ragini over the course of the collaboration, exchanged a glance with Jimin, both silently acknowledging that something had definitely changed.

Namjoon, ever the leader, watched from a distance, his sharp eyes picking up on the subtle tension between Jungkook and Ragini. He didn't say anything, but the gears in his mind were already turning, trying to piece together what could have happened between them to bring out such a reaction from Jungkook.

Even Yoongi, usually content to stay out of the spotlight at these events, couldn't help but notice how Jungkook's focus never strayed far from Ragini. He exchanged a knowing look with Hoseok, who gave a small, amused smile as if to say, Looks like our little Jungkook might be growing up.

But as the night went on, it wasn't just Jungkook's attentiveness that stood out-it was the way he reacted whenever Taehyung was near Ragini. The subtle tightening of his jaw, the way his eyes darkened slightly whenever Taehyung made her laugh, didn't go unnoticed by the rest of the group. It was clear that whatever was going on between them was serious, and it wasn't just a casual fling.

For the rest of the members, it was both surprising and a little disconcerting to see Jungkook like this. They had always known him to be driven, focused on his music and career, but seeing him care so deeply for someone, and with such intensity, was new territory. The party continued around them, but the BTS members couldn't shake the feeling that something significant was unfolding right before their eyes-something that could change the dynamics not just between Jungkook and Ragini, but within the group itself.

The BTS members weren't the only ones who noticed Jungkook's unusual behavior. Stella, Ragini's best friend and colleague, had been keeping a watchful eye on her throughout the evening. Stella had known Ragini long enough to sense when something was off, and tonight, she could tell there was more going on than just the usual party excitement.

From the moment they arrived, Stella had picked up on the subtle shifts in Ragini's demeanor-how her eyes seemed to dart around the room, almost as if she was searching for someone, and how she seemed slightly on edge despite the festive atmosphere. It wasn't long before Stella spotted the reason why.

Jungkook, who was usually the picture of cool and collected, was unmistakably focused on Ragini. The way he lingered close by, always keeping her within his sight, struck Stella as odd. And when she caught the way his gaze would darken every time Taehyung approached Ragini, the pieces started to fall into place.

Standing near the bar, Stella exchanged a knowing look with Jin, who was observing the scene with his own brand of quiet curiosity. "You're noticing this too?" she asked, keeping her voice low.

Jin nodded slightly, his eyes still on Jungkook. "He's never acted like this before. Not around anyone."

"I've never seen Ragini like this either," Stella replied, her tone tinged with concern. "She's usually so open with me, but lately... something's changed."
