TARGET- The World Is A Mystery { J.JK }

/6/

Just as the game of charades was about to kick off, I found myself hesitating. My mind wandered back to Yunjin's visit a moment ago-her composed, almost too-perfect demeanor. There was something that had been gnawing at me for a while now, something I hadn't had the guts to mention.

I took a deep breath, trying to shake off the nervous energy coursing through me. But before I could stop myself, the words came out.

"Hey, can I, uh... tell you guys something?"

Everyone paused, turning their attention toward me. Jungkook tilted his head slightly, his brows furrowed in concern, while Nari and Jimin exchanged a glance. Namjoon looked curious, though he kept quiet, waiting for me to continue.

I chewed on the inside of my cheek, trying to find the right words. "It's just... it's about Yunjin."

There was a shift in the room. Yoongi's eyes flickered with quiet intensity, and Nari raised an eyebrow. "What about her?" Namjoon asked, his voice even.

"I don't know how to explain it," I began, "but lately, I've been getting this... vibe from her. Like something's off. I know it sounds strange, but every time she's around, I feel like there's more to her than what she's showing us."

Jungkook frowned, arms folding across his chest. "What do you mean? Like she's hiding something?"

I shrugged, feeling self-conscious. "Maybe. It's just... she's always so put together. I get that she's our mentor, but it's almost like she's watching us. Not just guiding us, but really observing us, like she's keeping something from us."

Nari chuckled softly, leaning back in her chair. "Sena, that's Yunjin. She's always been like that-calm, collected. It's kind of her job to watch us, isn't it?"

"I know," I said quickly, "but the way she acts... it's too perfect, like she's constantly calculating. Earlier, when she came in? It felt like she was gauging something. Not just overseeing, but making sure we weren't catching on to anything."

Jimin let out a soft laugh, shaking his head. "You're probably just overthinking it. Yunjin's always been intense. But, I mean, she's been in this line of work for years. That's how she operates."

There was a moment of silence as my words settled in. Namjoon scratched his chin thoughtfully but didn't seem too concerned. "I get what you're saying, Sena, but I think that's just her being... well, Yunjin. We've all had mentors like that. They're tough, but they're on our side."

Yoongi finally spoke up, his voice calm. "You might be reading too much into it. I know Yunjin seems distant sometimes, but she's always been about business. If she was hiding something, we'd have noticed by now."

"Yeah, I guess..." I muttered, suddenly feeling silly for bringing it up. Maybe I was just overthinking things. "It's just... a feeling."

Jungkook gave me a reassuring smile, his eyes softening. "You're probably just stressed. We've been dealing with a lot. It's natural to get paranoid sometimes."

"Exactly," Nari said, nodding. "I've had moments where I thought Yoongi was secretly plotting against us because he's so quiet all the time. But it's just his vibe. Nothing to worry about."

Yoongi gave her a look but didn't argue.

I couldn't help but laugh a little, the tension easing in my chest. Maybe they were right. I had been on edge lately, and Yunjin's aloofness had always been part of her personality. I was probably just projecting my own stress onto her.

"Yeah... you're probably right," I said, feeling the weight lift slightly. "I guess I'm just paranoid."

Namjoon smiled, giving me a supportive nod. "We've all been there. It's normal to question things, but let's not jump to conclusions. Yunjin's got our backs."
