EREMOPHOBIA

CHAPTER 21

The group echoed his toast, smiling in solidarity. Y/N's heart swelled with gratitude. Surrounded by her family, her chosen family, and the love of Jungkook and Taehyung, she knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together-free from the shadows of the past.

And with that, the chapter with Minho came to a close, leaving only a future filled with love, hope, and the promise of brighter days ahead.

In the darkness of the laboratory, the air was thick with tension and anticipation. The unknown person leaned over his tablet, the glow illuminating his face as he studied the data on various hybrids. His expression was one of focused determination, revealing the ambitious nature that drove him.

"Mr. Ahn Bo-hyun, when are you thinking of bringing that white tiger to us? You know how precious it is," one of the scientists inquired, glancing up from his work with a glimmer of eagerness in his eyes.

Bo-hyun smirked slightly, the corners of his lips curling up with a hint of malice. "Patience," he replied smoothly, his voice low and measured. "The white tiger is a valuable asset, and I want to ensure we are fully prepared before making our move. We need to gather more information about Y/N and her connections to the hybrids. They've grown too strong, too united."

The scientist nodded, understanding the implications. The lab was dedicated to experimenting on hybrids, seeking ways to harness their powers for profit and power. "So, what's the plan?" he asked, leaning in closer, eager for details.

Bo-hyun straightened, his eyes gleaming with a predatory glint. "We need to create a diversion-something that will draw their attention away from the white tiger. Once they're distracted, we can make our move. I want that creature under our control before it becomes an obstacle."

Days passed, and Y/N felt more settled in her life with Jungkook and Taehyung. They enjoyed their time together, often laughing and sharing quiet moments. However, a sense of unease lingered in the background.

One afternoon, while they were relaxing in their shop, Jungkook's phone buzzed with a message. He glanced at it, his expression changing.

"What's up?" Y/N asked, noticing the shift in his mood.

"It's Yoongi. He says he has some news about Ahn Bo-Hyun, the one to whom Min-ho was talking, " Jungkook replied.

"What kind of news?" Taehyung asked, sitting up straight.

Jungkook read the message aloud: "Ahn Bo-hyun is looking for ways to acquire more hybrids, and it seems he has his sights set on you, Taehyung."

Y/N's stomach dropped. "Why would he target Tae?"

"Yoongi thinks he might want to use you as leverage or something," Jungkook explained, a hint of anger creeping into his voice.

Namjoon, Jin, Jimin, and Hoseok entered just then, sensing the tension. "What's going on?" Jin asked, looking concerned.

"Yoongi found out that Ahn Bo-hyun is interested in Taehyung," Jungkook said.

"Great," Hoseok said, crossing his arms. "What's our plan?"

They all sat down to brainstorm. "We need to keep an eye on Ahn Bo-hyun and gather more information about what he wants," Namjoon suggested. "We can't let him put any of us in danger."

Y/N nodded, grateful for the support of her friends. "Let's stick together and watch out for each other. We'll figure this out."

Taehyung, still a bit wary, looked at Y/N. "Are you sure this is a good idea? We don't even know what he's planning."
