As the clock ticked closer to 2 a.m., the once-vibrant party hall was now dimly lit, filled with scattered conversations among the remaining members of BTS, Astro, and their allies, while Seventeen mingled with NCT and Monsta X. The atmosphere was thick with tension, an undercurrent of unease permeating the air as groups exchanged wary glances.

Jin turned to Namjoon, a hint of concern in his voice. “I’ll go check on Yuri and bring her down so we can leave. It’s time to leave.”

Namjoon nodded, his expression serious. “Hmm.”

Jin, followed by Taehyung and Jungkook, headed upstairs, their footsteps echoing through the silent hallway. They reached the room where Yuri had been resting, but to their dismay, the door was slightly ajar, and the room was empty.

Jin felt a surge of frustration, turning to Taehyung and Jungkook. “Didn’t I tell you to lock the room?” he snapped, his voice edged with anger.

“We did, Hyung!” Jungkook insisted, his expression equally perplexed. “I swear we locked it before we left!”

“Then how the hell did it end up like this?” Jin retorted, stepping inside and scanning the room. Panic began to creep into his mind as he noticed that Yuri’s belongings were still there, but she was nowhere to be found.

Taehyung's heart sank as he noticed something on the floor—the safety bracelet they had given her, now lying discarded and alone.

“Yuri’s bracelet…” Taehyung murmured, picking it up with trembling hands.

Jungkook’s eyes widened as he noticed blood droplets trailing from the room toward the hallway. “There’s blood!” he exclaimed, panic surging through him. “This isn’t good! We need to find her now!”

Jin felt a chill run down his spine, the fear creeping in as they followed the trail of blood. “Yuri!” he shouted, desperation coating his voice.

“Jungkook, call Yoongi!” Jin instructed, his mind racing. “Tell him to check the CCTV footage immediately. We need to know what happened!”

“Right!” Jungkook replied, pulling out his phone as he hurriedly dialed Yoongi’s number.

“Taehyung, you need to tell Jimin to order the guards to search everywhere,” Jin continued, urgency rising in his voice. “I’ll tell namjoon!”

Taehyung nodded, determination setting in. “I’ll call Jimin!” He sprinted down the hallway, calling Jimin as he went. While Jin and Jungkook walks downstairs behind taehyung

Jungkook, who was running anxiously while speaking to Yoongi. “Yoongi hyung, we need the footage now. Yuri’s missing. See where she was last seen.”

“I’m on it,” Yoongi’s voice crackled through the phone. “Just give me a minute. I’ll check the cameras.”

“Please hurry,” Jungkook urged, his heart pounding. He could feel the weight of the situation pressing down on him, the fear of what might have happened to Yuri overwhelming.

As Jin moved downstairs to the hall, Taehyung found Jimin speaking with a group of guards. “We need to search every corner of this place! Every fuvking corner!” he shouted, urgency in his tone.

Jimin’s expression shifted from confusion to fury. “What are you waiting for? Go!” he commanded, and the guards immediately sprang into action, fanning out to cover the venue.

Meanwhile, back in the party hall, Jeonghan turned to Jun and Mingyu, a serious look on his face. “You two, go get Minghao. We need to leave now.”
