His Ultimate Obsession

35.The Puppet Master

The sun poured through the large windows, casting a warm glow over the group, who were buzzing with excitement for their sightseeing plans.

Stella, already in high spirits, twirled around in her dress, her eyes sparkling. "Can you believe we're in Paris? This place is magical!"

"Definitely! I've got a list of places we have to see," Jin said, pulling out his phone and scrolling through it with a grin. "First stop: the Eiffel Tower! Who's ready for some selfies?"

Ragini smiled, feeling the weight of her earlier stress lift a bit. "I'm in! Let's capture every moment."

Jungkook leaned against the wall, his arms crossed, an intense gaze fixed on Ragini. "Just remember to keep your phone on silent. I don't want any distractions while you're with me."

Ragini chuckled, oblivious to the possessive undertones. "You're just jealous I'll be busy taking pictures with the tower instead of you."

"Or maybe I just want you all to myself," he shot back, a smirk dancing on his lips.

Stella caught the playful banter and rolled her eyes, grinning at Jin. "Looks like someone is already plotting their photo ops! Just don't forget about the rest of us, okay?"

As they gathered their things and prepared to head out, Taehyung walked into the lounge, his demeanor noticeably quieter. He smiled at Ragini, but there was a flicker of something else in his eyes-conflicted emotions that made Jungkook's jaw tighten.

"Hey, are you all ready?" Taehyung asked, trying to maintain his usual cheerfulness.

"Always!" Ragini beamed, eager to distract herself from the chaos of the morning. "Let's go!"

"Alright, then! Paris awaits!" Jin exclaimed, leading the way out.

As they stepped outside, the vibrant atmosphere of Paris enveloped them. Ragini felt the thrill of the city, hoping the day would be filled with laughter and unforgettable memories. She glanced back at Jungkook, who followed closely behind her, his intense gaze never leaving her. The thrill of the city and the warmth of her friends surrounded her, even as a shadow loomed in the back of her mind about her job.

Little did she know, Jungkook was watching every move, his plans set in motion, ensuring she would have no distractions-only him.

As the sun rose high in the Parisian sky, the BTS members, along with Ragini and Stella, set out for a day of sightseeing, their laughter echoing through the streets. The excitement was palpable as they strolled past iconic landmarks, indulging in delicious pastries and taking countless pictures. But amidst the joy, Ragini felt a heaviness in her heart.

Despite the enchanting sights around her, she couldn't shake the sadness of having been fired without explanation. The abruptness of the termination lingered in her mind, making it hard to fully enjoy the day. She tried to put on a brave face, laughing at the jokes shared among the group, but a shadow of disappointment loomed over her.

As they paused outside the Eiffel Tower, Taehyung caught sight of Ragini standing slightly apart from the group, her gaze distant. He could see the way her smile didn't quite reach her eyes. Concerned, he approached her, his expression softening as he asked, "Ragini, what's wrong? You seem a bit off today."

"I got a surprising email this morning. I've been fired from my job." She tried to keep her tone light, but she could feel the gravity of her words.

Taehyung's eyes widened, the smile on his face faltering. "What? Seriously? How did that happen?"

Ragini shrugged, her brow furrowing. "I don't know. They said it was due to my performance issues. It feels so sudden." She looked down at her cup, the disappointment creeping in. "I just started getting comfortable there."
