The morning sun streamed through the windows. The air was fresh, carrying the scent of blooming jasmine from the garden outside.

Standing before the dresser, Jungkook reached for her ring. Her hand hovered briefly before her slender fingers picked it up, poised to slip it onto her finger. But the ring wobbled in her grasp, slipping between her fingers like a mischievous drop of water.

"Ah—" Jungkook gasped softly, her brows knitting in mild annoyance as the ring disappeared beneath the bed. She tsked, placing her hands on her hips for a moment, her lips pressing into a small pout.

"Seriously?" she muttered, crouching down to peer under the bed. Her hair fell forward slightly as she leaned closer, one hand brushing the stubborn strands back behind her ear while the other propped her up.

The dim space beneath the bed greeted her. Her gaze swept across until the faint glimmer of the ring's stone caught her eye.

"There you are," she murmured softly, stretching her arm under the bed to reach for it.

As her fingers grazed the smooth surface of the ring, something else brushed against her skin—a cold, metallic sensation. Jungkook paused, her brow furrowing. "What the..." she whispered, curling her fingers around the unexpected object.

Pulling her hand back, she sat up slowly. The sunlight caught the object now in her hand—a set of metal chains.

They were faintly worn but still sturdy, the cold weight of them sweeping into her palm. Jungkook stared at them, her expression shifting from confusion to curiosity, her brows pinching together.

"What's this?" she asked aloud, the sound of her voice breaking the silence of the room. She held the chains up slightly, the links glinting in the morning light. Her thumb ran over the cool surface, her mind racing as she stood up, brushing her trousers off absently.

Her gaze flicked between the chains and the bed, her lips pressing into a thin line. "Why would these be under here...?" she mused, turning the chains over in her hands.

There was no immediate answer, only the quiet weight of the mystery they carried.

Jungkook didn't register the soft sound of the door opening. She was still lost in her thoughts as her fingers trailed over the cold links of the chains. In her hands they felt heavier than they looked.

Taehyung stepped inside while buckling the strap of his wristwatch, his gaze instinctively sought Jungkook. Her back was to him, her head slightly tilted down as though she were inspecting something.
