Nari lay in bed that night, the moonlight casting eerie shadows across the room.

Her mind replayed the day's events-Jungkook's menacing smile, Namjoon's cold warnings, the growing threat from enemies she couldn't even see.

Every thought twisted her insides tighter, a knot of dread tightening in her chest.

She couldn't shake the feeling that she was a pawn, a piece in a game she didn't understand.

What did Namjoon want from her? Did he see her as just another tool in his family's game?

The house was eerily quiet, and the stillness only heightened her paranoia. Every creak of the floorboards, every gust of wind outside sent her heart racing. She needed to stay calm-but fear kept paralyzing her.

Then, a soft knock at the door. It was barely audible, but it made her heart race.

Was it Jungkook returning to continue his twisted game?

Or Namjoon, ready to remind her of her place?

She hesitated, then cautiously opened the door. J-Hope stood there, his expression serious, unlike anything she had seen before.

J-Hope: "Can I come in?"

She nodded, stepping aside. J-Hope shut the door behind him and paced slowly, his usual calm replaced by something more urgent.

J-Hope: "I wanted to check on you. Things are... complicated right now."

Nari crossed her arms, trying to keep her emotions in check.

Nari: "Complicated? Is that what you're calling it?"

J-Hope sighed, running a hand through his hair.

J-Hope: "Listen, Nari. Jungkook's not the only one watching you. There are others-people who would use you against him."

Her stomach dropped. She had suspected as much, but hearing it from J-Hope only made it more real.

Nari: "I know. Sohee warned me about the dangers. But I don't understand. What do they want from me?"

J-Hope stepped closer, his voice dropping to a whisper.

J-Hope: "You're not just a captive to Jungkook. You're a symbol. His obsession with you has drawn attention from rival factions. They see an opportunity-something they can use against him."

Nari's breath hitched. She was nothing but a pawn in this dangerous game, her worth only tied to how Jungkook felt about her.

Nari: "What do you mean?"

J-Hope's expression grew more serious.

J-Hope: "If they capture you, they'll have leverage over Jungkook. They'll use you to manipulate him and gain power. You need to stay alert. Trust no one-not even Namjoon. He's loyal to his family, and that means he'll do whatever it takes to protect them. Even if it means sacrificing you."

The weight of his words sank in, sending waves of panic through her. Caught in the middle of a ruthless power struggle, she realized she had no safety net.
