The next morning, Jungkook woke early, still consumed by the previous night's events. Ragini was asleep, wrapped snugly in his coat from the night before. He carefully stepped out of bed, not wanting to disturb her. His mind raced with questions, and there was only one thing on his mind-finding out who was behind this.

He grabbed his phone and dialed Jin's number, his heart pounding with frustration. As the phone rang, he ran his hand through his hair, pacing the room. When Jin finally picked up, his tone was groggy but concerned.

"Hey, Kook, what's going on?"

"Hyung, I need to talk to you," Jungkook said, his voice tense. "Something happened."

Jin's voice sharpened instantly. "What do you mean? Is Ragini okay?"

"She's fine now, but someone drugged her at the party. I don't know who yet, but I'm going to find out," Jungkook growled, his frustration barely contained. "I need to meet you. We need to figure this out."

Jin was silent for a moment, his mind likely racing. "Come over. I'll be ready in ten."

Jungkook hung up without another word, grabbed his keys, and checked on Ragini once more before heading out. His protective instinct screamed at him to stay by her side, but he knew he needed to get to the bottom of this.

Jungkook stormed into Jin's apartment, fury practically radiating off of him. His jaw was clenched so tight it ached, but he didn't care. All he could think about was what had happened to Ragini the night before. As soon as Jin opened the door, Jungkook shoved past him, pacing with heavy steps, barely containing the storm brewing inside.

"Hyung," Jungkook started, his voice low and tense, "Someone drugged Ragini last night. Someone fucking spiked her drink."

Jin's face darkened immediately. "What?" His voice was sharp, and the protective edge in it sent a shiver down Jungkook's spine. "You're sure about this?"

"Positive. She was acting weird, and by the time we left, she was out of it. There's no doubt, hyung. I couldn't let her out of my sight. I-" Jungkook's voice faltered, the anger momentarily giving way to concern before flaring back up. "I swear to god, whoever did this is going to pay."

Jin's fists clenched at his sides, his jaw set in a hard line. "This can't be happening." He ran a hand through his hair, pacing just like Jungkook, his own rage barely contained. "Ragini is like a sister to me, and Stella...."

Jungkook stopped pacing, his eyes narrowing as he caught the shift in Jin's tone. "What about Stella?"

Jin's expression turned grim. "Stella was drugged too."

The room fell silent. Jungkook's blood ran cold for a moment, before his anger surged again, stronger than before. "What?" he snarled. "Who the hell is behind this? They drugged them both?"

Jin nodded, his hands balled into fists. "Last night, I noticed something was off with Stella. She wasn't herself. I took her somewhere to rest. She was drugged, just like Ragini."

Jungkook's heart hammered in his chest, fury coursing through his veins. "This isn't a fucking joke, hyung. Whoever did this didn't just come after one of them-they went after both." He clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white. "They tried to hurt the people we care about."

Jin's eyes flashed with the same protective rage. "They messed with the wrong people, Kook. No one hurts Stella and gets away with it. And Ragini-" Jin's voice hardened. "Ragini's like a sister to me. Whoever did this is going to wish they never laid a finger on her."

Jungkook nodded, his fury palpable. "I don't care who it was. When I find out, I'll make sure they regret ever coming near her. I'll make them pay, hyung." His voice was deadly calm, but the darkness behind it was unmistakable.
