The hours after Jungkook left felt endless for Nari, each second thick with tension. His words lingered in her mind: "Once you learn the truth, there's no going back."

The journal lay on the table, daring her to open it again. Jungkook's motives and obsession with her gnawed at her thoughts, but every attempt to understand hit a wall.

A sharp knock jolted her from her spiraling thoughts. Her heart skipped-Jungkook? But when the door opened, it was J-Hope. His sharp gaze swept the room as he entered quietly.

J-Hope: "You're playing a dangerous game, Nari."

Closing the door behind him, his usual calm seemed replaced with tension.

Nari: "Jungkook won't tell me anything. How else am I supposed to figure out why I'm here?"

J-Hope sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.

J-Hope: "You're not ready for the answers. And pushing Jungkook? You have no idea what you're dealing with."

Frustration flared in Nari. She stepped closer, her voice cutting.

Nari: "Then tell me. Who are you, and why are you helping me?"

For a moment, J-Hope hesitated. Then, in a low voice, he confessed:

J-Hope: "I'm helping you because you remind me of someone I lost. If I let Jungkook's obsession destroy you, it'll be on me."

His words hit Nari hard, but before she could respond, he moved closer, his voice dropping further.

J-Hope: "Jungkook's on the edge. He's obsessed, and if you keep pushing, I don't know what he'll do."

A chill ran through her as his warning sank in.

Nari: "Obsessed? What do you mean?"

J-Hope: "You're not just a witness, Nari. You remind him of something he can't control. That makes you dangerous."

Her stomach twisted.

Nari: "Then why won't he tell me the truth?"

J-Hope's expression darkened.

J-Hope: "Because it will destroy everything-you, him, and this whole twisted world we live in."

A faint rustle outside the door cut their conversation short. J-Hope's eyes sharpened, and he pulled Nari into the shadows, pressing a finger to his lips.

A second later, the door opened, and Jungkook stepped in.

The tension spiked as his dark gaze landed on Nari. He didn't acknowledge J-Hope, who remained in the shadows, silently observing.

Jungkook: "What are you still doing here?"

His soft tone masked the danger underneath. Nari held her ground.

Nari: "I'm tired of waiting, Jungkook. I need answers."

His jaw tightened, fury flickering behind his calm demeanor. But then, something vulnerable flashed across his face before vanishing.

Jungkook: "Answers won't save you. They'll only pull you deeper."

He moved closer, his presence suffocating, yet Nari didn't flinch.

Nari: "I don't care. I'm already in too deep. Just tell me-why me? Why are you doing this?"

The silence stretched until Jungkook finally spoke, his voice low and dangerous.

Jungkook: "Because I can't let you go. Not now. Not ever."

The raw intensity of his words sent a chill down her spine. Before she could respond, his phone buzzed. He glanced at it, his expression hardening.
