30: Jungkook ji.

FEW MONTHS LATER.

Jungkook's eyes are still locked on the photo of his mother, his expression filled with pain and guilt. The weight of regret hangs over him. Taehyung suddenly bursts in, still in his police uniform, breaking the silence. Jungkook looks up, a mix of surprise and weary resignation on his face.

He gently sets the photo down and turns to Taehyung, showing a blend of pain and exhaustion.

Jungkook: (His voice is hoarse.)  What is it, Tae? Have you found something?

Tae: You won’t believe what I found!

Jungkook: (tired but curious.) What did you find? Don’t keep me waiting...

Tae: It’s the nurse you hired for your aunt. We got some broken CCTV footage... and it’s bad. Where’s YN?

Jungkook: (He jumps up, anxious.) supposed to be with Lata and Jimin. They were shopping last I knew... (He quickly calls you. After a few rings, you pick up.) Lotus, where are you?

YN: I’m with Lata and Jimin. Why? Is something wrong?

Jk: And where’s that nurse?

YN: Don’t mention her, Jeon. She came earlier for her salary, but didn’t you settle her payment already?

Jungkook: (He curses silently, feeling panic rise.) Listen to me. That nurse is dangerous. You need to leave her, NOW.

YN: What are you talking about? (You were check her payment details in Jungkook’s studio.)

Jungkook: (heart races) I’ll explain later. Just trust me—get away from the nurse for your safety!

Jungkook watches a video and sees the nurse attacking his mom. His heart breaks and anger builds.

Jungkook: (Whispers with hurt and rage.) I hired her to take care of my mom, and she... (He clenches his fists, struggling with his emotions.)

He and Taehyung rush out of the company building.

Meanwhile, you go downstairs but only find Lata and Jimin.

YN: Where’s the nurse?

Lata: She got a call and left. (Confused, you wonder if Jungkook was overreacting.)

Jimin: Let’s go for shopping now.

You agree, thinking you need a few things anyway. You text Jungkook, saying the nurse left and you’re going shopping. Jungkook receives your text and feels relieved but still worried. He replies:

Jungkook: Okay, be careful. Stick with Jimin and Lata. Where are you going?

YN: Jimin, where are we going... jungkook is asking...

Jimin: We're heading to the city center. Lots of shops and boutiques there! (Jungkook asks for the location, so you text him the address of the main square.)

Lata: (Smirking) You called him by his name!

YN: uh?— (Embarrassed) I didn't mean to! (Jimin and Lata tease you about calling Jungkook by his name.)

Jimin: Oh, a "mistake," huh?

Lata: Yes, and it sounded nice.

YN: (Pouting) Yes, it was an accident!

Jimin: and he loves this accident...

They laugh and Jimin says they'll tell Jungkook about it. You blush, feeling nervous. Suddenly, the car gets a flat tire in front of the market. Jimin goes to get help, and Lata takes photos.
