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

"What do you think this means- is someone trying to fvck with us?" Yoongi said, resulting into Namjoon shaking his head.

"I don't think so" Namjoon replied, studying the message even more.

"What do we do now?" Jimin asked,

"We... do as they say" Namjoon said, "We need to know what's in the storeroom they want to show us. Sena, Kook, Jimin- get the keys from the Janitor's cupboard. Yoongi and Nari- stay here and try to figure out where the message came from and who might've sent it. I will look around the whole building for any clu-" Namjoon was saying, but I cut him off.

"How does this person know there is a Janitor's Cupboard on the 2nd floor? How do they know that the Janitor isn't there right now so that we can get to the keys-?" I interrupted

Namjoon paused, his eyes narrowing as he considered my words. "That's a good point. This person either knows this building well, or they've been watching us closely."

Jungkook shifted uncomfortably beside me, his jaw clenching. "If they've been watching us, it means they've been planning this for a while. We need to be careful."

Yoongi glanced at the message again, his fingers drumming lightly on the table. "Or, it's a trap. Luring us to the storeroom could be part of their game."

I nodded, feeling the tension settle in the air. "So what do we do? We can't just ignore it. What if there's something important in there?"

Namjoon sighed, running a hand through his hair. "We can't afford to ignore any potential lead. But we also can't walk into a trap blindly."

"We'll be careful," Jungkook said firmly, his eyes locking onto Namjoon's. "We'll get the keys, check out the storeroom, and if anything seems off, we pull out immediately."

Namjoon hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright. But stay alert and take precautions. We can't risk anything."

I felt a sense of dread creeping into my chest as Jungkook, Jimin, and I prepared to head out. Before we left, Yoongi called after us. "Be quick, but don't be stupid. We need all of you in one piece."

I forced a small smile. "You just worry about finding out who's behind this. We'll handle the storeroom."

With that, we headed for the second floor, the air heavy with uncertainty. Each step felt more tense than the last, the idea of being watched, manipulated by someone unseen, gnawing at me. This was bigger than we had thought. And more dangerous.

As we made our way down the hallway, I felt Jungkook's slender fingers envelop my hand. His touch was warm, grounding me in the midst of the growing tension. My heartbeat quickened, though not entirely from fear. I glanced up at him, and despite the serious expression on his face, there was a comforting calm in his eyes.

"We'll get through this," he whispered, squeezing my hand gently.

I nodded, taking a deep breath to steady myself. "I know. Just... be careful."

He gave me a small, reassuring smile. "Always."

Jimin, walking slightly ahead of us, shot a glance over his shoulder. "Hey, lovebirds, focus. We've got a storeroom to check out, remember?"

I rolled my eyes, but the tension lightened for just a moment. Then, as we neared the janitor's cupboard, the seriousness settled back in. We were about to step into the unknown, and whoever was behind this was pulling the strings, watching us.

Jungkook's hand tightened around mine one last time before he let go, readying himself. "Let's get this over with."

We reached the janitor's cupboard, and Jimin quickly glanced around to ensure we were alone. The hallway was eerily quiet, amplifying the tension in the air. I pulled my phone out, re-reading the cryptic message that had sent us here in the first place.
