Ava's morning routine began like any other. She sipped her coffee, scanning the news on her phone. But her mind wandered to Jungkook's proposal.
"What if I say yes? What if I'm walking into a trap?" Ava thought, her anxiety growing.
At work, Ava struggled to focus. Her tasks seemed insurmountable, and her usually sharp mind felt foggy. Her coworkers noticed her distraction.
During lunch, Ava pushed her food around her plate, her appetite gone.
That evening, Ava returned home, exhausted. She changed into comfortable clothes and began her night routine.
As she brushed her teeth, Ava's thoughts consumed her.
"Why did I agree to this?" she muttered.
Ava climbed into bed, feeling stressed and tired. But sleep eluded her.
"What if Jungkook's telling the truth?" Ava's thoughts churned.
Slowly, Ava's eyelids drooped, her thoughts fading into a restless sleep.
The next day, Ava called in sick. She couldn't face work.
Lily called, concerned.
"Hey, what's wrong? You never take off work."
Ava hesitated.
"I just need a day."
Lily sensed something was off.
"Meet me at Café Bliss at 5 pm."
That evening, Ava arrived at the café, looking drained. Lily greeted her warmly.
"Ava, what's going on?" Lily asked, sipping her coffee.
Ava confessed everything - the event, Jungkook's proposal, and her doubts.
Lily listened attentively.
"Don't worry, I'll research Jungkook. Just relax."
Day: 3 (last day)
The next day, Ava returned to work. At lunch, Lily confronted her.
"I found nothing suspicious about Jungkook," Lily said. "Do what you want, but trust your gut."
Ava nodded, feeling uncertain.
After work, Ava headed home. As she opened the door, a hand clamped over her mouth.
Ava struggled, but the grip tightened.
Suddenly, the lights flickered on.
Jungkook's eyes locked onto hers, his voice barely audible.
"Cooperate. Be quiet. Someone's here."
Ava's heart pounded.
Jungkook's hand still covered her mouth, his touch sending shivers down her spine.
As Ava's fear subsided, she felt Jungkook's warm breath on her skin.
Their bodies pressed together, Jungkook's chest against hers.
Ava's thoughts blurred.
What was happening?
Jungkook's gaze never left hers.
For a moment, Ava forgot about the danger.
All she saw was Jungkook.
Their lips inches apart.
