Jungkook slammed the door of the shared dorm behind him, his frustration palpable. All the BTS members were there, their eyes snapping up to him in unison, sensing something was terribly wrong. The tension in the room was thick, the air heavy with unspoken concern.

Jungkook paced back and forth, his fists clenching and unclenching, his breathing ragged. He finally stopped in the middle of the room, his voice laced with desperation and anger. "She knows," he muttered, barely audible at first.

Taehyung narrowed his eyes. "She knows... what?"

Jungkook's eyes flashed with regret and rage. "She knows I got her fired," he spat, frustration boiling over. "I had to do it! I had no choice. She wasn't giving me enough time, and I-" He paused, taking a sharp breath, "-I did it to keep her with me."

There was a moment of stunned silence. The room went completely still.

Jimin, who had been sitting quietly, stood up, his face a mix of shock and disappointment. "Jungkook, you're telling me you deliberately got her fired just so you could have her around more? What the hell were you thinking?"

Yoongi shook his head, leaning back in his chair, his usually calm demeanor cracking under the weight of the revelation. "That's beyond messed up, Kook. You don't do that to someone you love."

Namjoon sighed deeply, rubbing his temples in frustration. "You've hurt her. She's going to feel betrayed. You can't force her to stay with you like this."

Jungkook's face twisted in frustration. "I wasn't trying to hurt her! I was trying to keep us together. I can't lose her. I won't lose her."

"By destroying her career? By taking away her choice?" Jimin snapped, disbelief in his voice.

But it was Taehyung's voice that cut through the noise, sharp and cold. "You're suffocating her, Jungkook. Do you even realize what you've done? You're not protecting her-you're controlling her, and I told you that before too." There was an edge to Taehyung's words, something personal that only Jungkook could detect. The bitterness in his voice made Jungkook's chest tighten, knowing Taehyung's feelings for Ragini were coming into play.

Jungkook's eyes flickered toward Taehyung, and for a moment, the two locked gazes, a silent battle raging between them. Taehyung's feelings for Ragini were no secret to Jungkook, and it only fueled his possessiveness.

"I did it because I love her," Jungkook growled. "I don't expect any of you to understand. But I'll do whatever it takes to keep her with me."

Jin shook his head, his voice thick with disappointment. "This isn't love, Jungkook. This is an Obsession. You've broken her trust. Do you even know what kind of damage you've caused? We have warned you, but you didn't listen."

Jungkook's jaw clenched, the weight of their words crashing down on him. But he didn't care. He didn't regret it. He was willing to do anything-anything-to keep Ragini by his side. His love for her was too deep, too consuming. He wouldn't let her slip away from him.

"Say whatever you want," Jungkook muttered, his voice dark and unwavering. "But I don't regret what I did. I'll fix this. I'll make her understand."

Taehyung's fists clenched, his voice barely above a whisper, but laced with venom. "You're pushing her away, Kook. And if you keep going like this, you're going to lose her for good."

Taehyung stood there, his eyes burning with anger and frustration. He didn't trust what Jungkook was planning. Not anymore. With a sharp inhale, he grabbed his jacket and stormed out of the dorm, slamming the door behind him. His emotions were in turmoil, and he needed space. He couldn't be in the same room as Jungkook right now, not when Ragini was at the center of all this chaos.
