Jungkook's days had started to blur together, his sense of safety slipping away with each passing hour. The messages, each more graphic and perverse than the last, consumed his thoughts, leaving him feeling exposed no matter where he was. But now, Taehyung was by his side, his new bodyguard, the man meant to protect him. Jungkook should have felt safe, but something about Taehyung felt off-something dark lingered in the air between them, though he couldn't quite place it.

The latest message had shaken him to the core. The words, taunting and explicit, were still imprinted in his mind.

"You don't know how much I want you, Jungkook. I dream of having you beneath me, powerless, begging for me to touch you. You'll come to crave it... crave me. No one else will ever satisfy you the way I will."

Jungkook's hands trembled as he clutched his phone, his body tense as he reread the message. His stomach churned at the thought of the stalker being so close, watching him, knowing his every move. He couldn't shake the growing fear that whoever was doing this wasn't just some distant figure lurking in the shadows. It felt personal now-too personal.

And then there was Taehyung.

The tall, broad-shouldered man had been a constant presence around him since the moment he was hired. His dark eyes followed Jungkook's every move, his expression always unreadable, his demeanor calm yet... intense. At first, Jungkook had appreciated the protection, but lately, Taehyung's gaze felt heavy, almost suffocating. There was a tension between them that Jungkook couldn't ignore.

Later That Evening

Jungkook sat in the living room, pretending to focus on the book in front of him, but his thoughts were elsewhere. Taehyung stood by the window, his arms crossed over his chest, eyes scanning the street outside.

It had been hours since the last message, and Jungkook was dreading the next one. His phone buzzed on the table, and his heart dropped into his stomach. He hesitated before picking it up, his fingers shaking as he unlocked the screen.

"You looked so good today, Jungkook. I could barely control myself watching you. That body of yours is perfect-so tight, so soft. I'm going to take my time with you, savor every inch. You'll be mine soon, and no one will be able to stop me."

Jungkook swallowed hard, his face flushing with a mix of disgust and fear. The language was becoming more vulgar, more explicit with each passing day, and he felt violated just reading the words. His skin crawled, and he shifted uncomfortably in his seat, trying to suppress the panic rising in his chest.

Without thinking, he looked over at Taehyung. The bodyguard's eyes were already on him, dark and unreadable, watching Jungkook with an intensity that made his breath hitch.

"Another one?" Taehyung's voice was low, almost a whisper.

Jungkook nodded, not trusting his voice to stay steady. He handed the phone to Taehyung, who took it and read the message. For a brief moment, Jungkook thought he saw a flicker of something dark in Taehyung's expression, but it was gone before he could be sure.

Taehyung's lips pressed into a thin line. He handed the phone back to Jungkook, his voice calm but firm. "I'll make sure no one touches you, Jungkook. You're safe with me."

The words were meant to be reassuring, but the way Taehyung said them-so cold, so controlled- only made Jungkook feel more unsettled. He couldn't shake the feeling that Taehyung was watching him too closely, as if there was something he wasn't saying.

Hours Later

Jungkook lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Sleep was impossible now, not with the messages still flashing in his mind. He turned onto his side, pulling the covers tightly around himself, trying to block out the fear that clung to him like a second skin.

He hadn't told Taehyung, but he'd started to notice things going missing-small things at first: a shirt, a bracelet, a photograph. They were things he wouldn't have noticed under normal circumstances, but now, with the stalker looming over him, every little detail seemed significant. Was it the stalker? Or was he just imagining things?

A chill ran down his spine as he heard a soft creak outside his door. His heart raced as he listened, straining to hear if it was just his imagination. The door opened a crack, and Taehyung's tall silhouette filled the doorway, his presence almost overwhelming in the darkness.

Jungkook sat up slightly, his voice shaky. "T-Taehyung?"

Taehyung stepped into the room, his movements slow and deliberate. He didn't speak at first, just stood there, watching Jungkook from the shadows. The air between them felt thick, charged with something Jungkook couldn't quite define.

"I thought I heard something," Taehyung said finally, his voice deep, resonating in the quiet room.

Jungkook nodded, pulling the blanket up to his chest. "I... I couldn't sleep."

Taehyung's eyes lingered on him for a moment longer before he walked closer to the bed, stopping just at the edge. "You're safe, Jungkook. I'm right here. No one's going to hurt you.

There was a strange undertone to his words, something possessive that made Jungkook's pulse quicken. He wasn't sure if it was comfort or fear that made his heart race faster.

"I-thank you," Jungkook whispered, his throat dry.

Taehyung's gaze drifted over him, his dark eyes heavy with something unreadable. For a split second, Jungkook felt exposed, like Taehyung could see every inch of him even beneath the covers.

"Get some sleep," Taehyung said softly, his voice like velvet. "I'll be here all night."

Jungkook nodded, though sleep was the furthest thing from his mind. As Taehyung turned to leave, Jungkook couldn't help but feel that he was being watched even more closely than before. Something about Taehyung's presence felt too intimate, too close.

And the worst part? A small, terrified part of Jungkook was beginning to wonder if Taehyung's obsession was more dangerous than he could have ever imagined.
