In morning, Jungkook woke up feeling the weight of the previous night still lingering in his chest. He rubbed his eyes and stretched before getting out of bed, his mind immediately wondering where Dr. Kim Dahyun was. He couldn't explain the feeling, but her absence gnawed at him.
As he made his way downstairs, the dorm was quiet, save for the sounds of the other members slowly starting their day. Jungkook looked around, but Dahyun was nowhere to be seen. Curious and somewhat unsettled, he approached Jimin, who was sitting on the couch scrolling through his phone.
"Jimin-hyung, have you seen Dr. Kim?" Jungkook asked, trying to sound casual.
Jimin glanced up and smiled slightly. "Oh, she went out early. Said she had to meet her friend."
Jungkook's brows furrowed, a strange sense of unease creeping into his chest. "And RM-hyung? Where's he?"
Taehyung, who had just walked in from the kitchen, answered instead. "He went with her. They both left together."
Jungkook's heart sank for reasons he couldn't quite explain. He nodded and mumbled a quick thanks before heading toward the kitchen to grab some water. The more he thought about it, the more unsettled he felt. He had grown used to having Dahyun around, her presence a strange source of calm amidst the storm of his emotions. Not seeing her there and knowing she'd left with RM made him feel restless.
He took a sip of water, staring out the window, but his thoughts were far from the peaceful morning outside.
Dahyun and RM arrived at the apartment that Dahyun shared with Nayeon, the air thick with urgency. As they stepped inside, Nayeon greeted them, her expression serious and tense. Without wasting any time, she motioned for them to sit down at the dining table. In front of them was Nayeon's laptop, its screen already glowing with several files and messages open.
"This is it," Nayeon said, her voice low but filled with gravity as she placed the laptop in front of them. "You need to see this."
Dahyun and RM leaned forward, their eyes narrowing as the first video played—a series of CCTV footage clips. The footage wasn't ordinary; it showed Lisa at a party with Jungkook. In one of the videos, Lisa was seen discreetly putting something into Jungkook's drink when he wasn't looking. Dahyun's heart sank as she watched, her fingers tightening into fists.
RM's face hardened as he processed what they were seeing. "Is this..."
Nayeon nodded before he could finish. "Yes, it's exactly what you think. She drugged him."
The next footage was even more disturbing—this time it was from a luxury hotel during Paris Fashion Week. Lisa was sneaking into Taehyung's hotel room late at night. The angle wasn't clear enough to see what she was doing, but the implications were more than enough to cause alarm. Dahyun exchanged a quick glance with RM, her stomach churning.
"If this isn't bad enough," Nayeon continued, her voice trembling slightly, "there's more."
She pulled up a series of text messages exchanged between the Blackpink members and YG Entertainment's CEO. The messages revealed a dark plot—YG's entire strategy to sabotage BTS, all under the guise of a false relationship between Lisa and Jungkook. The messages made it clear that Lisa's involvement with Jungkook wasn't just about manipulation and emotional damage, but about actively trying to bring down BTS's reputation. There was even talk about stealing ideas and drugging members to get information.
Dahyun felt her pulse quicken, anger and disbelief battling within her. RM sat back in his chair, his face expressionless but his knuckles white as he gripped the armrest.
