The library room had been eerily silent for hours. Tension hung in the air, thick and suffocating, as the weight of what had happened crushed them.
The files were gone. The evidence was erased. Every step they had planned felt wasted. No one had uttered a word, too shocked, too frustrated, too defeated to even begin thinking about the next move.
Suddenly, the sound of creaking doors echoed through the room, breaking the silence like a sharp knife. Everyone's heads snapped toward the entrance, panic flashing in their eyes. Taehyung tensed, ready for the worst.
The doors flung open, and in walked a tall, masculine man in his 20s, his eyes scanning the room frantically before they landed on Ria.
Without a word, he crossed the room in hurried strides and pulled her into a tight hug. Ria, shocked, barely had time to react before two more figures followed. Another young man, equally strong-looking, and a woman — confident, poised — both rushed in and enveloped Ria in a hug as well.
The sudden display of affection threw everyone off, but no one more than Taehyung, who stood frozen, watching the scene unfold with wide eyes.
His gaze darted between the new arrivals, lingering on the woman for a few seconds longer. Confusion clouded his features as a single thought crossed his mind: What is she doing here?
"What the hell?" Suga muttered under his breath, breaking the silence as he exchanged glances with Jhope, who seemed equally bewildered.
"Ria!" the first man exclaimed, pulling back slightly but still keeping her close. "Are you okay?" while checking her all over.
Ria, visibly shaken but trying to gather her composure, nodded weakly. "I'm....I'm fine , but what are you guys doing here?" Ria asked confusingly .
"We have checked your last location and this is where it showed, and what happened to you? why is your mobile was off for hours?" Jungkook questioned.
The tension in the room only thickened as Taehyung's stern voice cut through the awkward reunion. "Anya, what are you doing here?" His eyes were locked on the woman, his tone sharp, almost accusatory.
Anya's gaze shifted to him, her expression softening slightly, though confusion flickered in her eyes as she took in the disarray of the room.
Papers were scattered everywhere, and everyone looked on edge. She ignored his tone and took a step toward him. "Taehyung, are you okay? I've been trying to call you, but your phone was off. What's going on? What happened here?".
Before anyone could reply, Jhope butted in, his face twisted in confusion. "Well... I need a clarification here, please. What the hell is going on here?"
Ria took a deep breath, sensing the tension in the room had reached its peak. She pointed to the first man standing beside her, his arm wrapped protectively around her shoulder. "This is Jungkook, my brother."
Jhope blinked, surprised. "Brother? As in, real brother?"
