His Ultimate Obsession

44.Secrets in the Dark

The next day, the BTS members were gathered once again, their faces grim as they worked tirelessly to trace the person responsible for drugging Ragini and Stella. Namjoon, who had a talent for finding information, was glued to his laptop, scrolling through security footage and piecing together the puzzle.

Jungkook stood behind him, arms crossed and his expression dark. His mind was still on Ragini, recovering from the ordeal, but he couldn’t rest until he knew she was safe. Jin, leaning against the wall, was fuming. His protective nature for both Stella and Ragini was a force of its own, and he wasn’t willing to back down until they had answers.

"We have to find out who did this," Jungkook said, his voice low but intense. "They targeted them both on purpose. This wasn’t some random act."

Taehyung sat quietly, but his hands clenched into fists. Every time he thought of what had happened to Ragini, the anger inside him flared up again. His emotions were tightly wound, but only Jungkook and Jimin knew the depths of what he was feeling.

Jimin paced the room, running a hand through his hair. "I don’t get it," he muttered. "We’ve checked everything—the security footage, the guest lists, even the staff. There’s nothing suspicious."

Suddenly, Namjoon cursed under his breath, drawing everyone's attention. "Damn it."

"What is it?" Jungkook asked, leaning closer.

Namjoon turned the screen toward them. "It’s gone. Someone erased the footage from the party, hacked into the system, and wiped it clean. All the evidence we had... it's destroyed."

"Shit!" Jin slammed his fist against the wall in frustration. "Who the hell would go to such lengths?"

"Whoever it is, they’re smart," Yoongi said, his tone calm but edged with anger. "They knew exactly what they were doing. This wasn’t just a spur-of-the-moment thing."

Jungkook’s jaw clenched, his eyes flashing with fury. "We’re going to find them. I don’t care how long it takes, but they won’t get away with this."

Across town, Sohee was pacing her living room, phone pressed tightly to her ear as she fumed. Her plans to humiliate Ragini had completely fallen apart. She had counted on the drugged drinks causing chaos, but instead, Ragini had ended up even closer to Jungkook.

"You were supposed to make sure this worked!" Sohee yelled into the phone, her voice trembling with fury. "How could you screw this up? I had everything perfectly planned!"

The voice on the other end was calm, though slightly irritated. "Calm down, Sohee. There were unforeseen circumstances."

"Unforeseen circumstances?" Sohee spat, her fingers digging into her phone. "Do you know how embarrassing it was to watch her walk out of that party, still glued to him? She was supposed to be humiliated! He was supposed to leave her!"

"Relax," the voice said, a cold edge creeping into their tone. "I took care of the footage. There’s no trace left behind. But you need to be patient. These things take time."

Sohee gritted her teeth, her frustration bubbling over. "I don’t have time! I need her gone now! She’s always in my way, and I can’t stand the sight of her!"

The voice on the other end was cold, laced with an unsettling calmness. “You don’t understand, Sohee. I want Ragini for myself. She’s not meant for him; she belongs with me. Make sure she’s kept away from Jungkook. I’ll handle the rest.”

Sohee's eyes narrowed, a smirk creeping onto her face. "What do you mean? Are you saying you want to take her for yourself?"

"Exactly," the voice confirmed, low and sinister."Just follow through on the plan, and soon, she’ll be exactly where we want her—far away from him."
