HER 7 DONGSAENG [BTS ff]

💜Chapter-26💜

That night, a note slid under Y/N's door like a razor beneath silk.

"Basement Level 3. Red light room. Alone.
We know who you really are. Let's talk about survival."

No name. No seal. Just purpose.

Y/N's fingers grazed the note once, twice-her eyes narrowing in thought rather than fear. She wasn't reckless. Not anymore. She'd learned the mansion's language: the way it whispered secrets in the corridors, the way it echoed footsteps louder when someone followed too close. She knew someone would trail her. She counted on it.

She slipped the blade inside her boot, strapped the spare behind her back, one gun inside the back of her waist, one blade under her shoe for emergency and left with the same silence that had begun to define her. Every movement precise. Every breath measured.

The descent to Level 3 felt like sinking into another life. The walls grew colder. The silence too quiet to trust. Her heartbeat didn't race-it drummed steady like war drums in a field she had chosen.

By the time she reached the red-lit door, she was no longer Y/N, the outsider. She was Y/N, the bait.

She stepped inside.

The smell-clotted blood under bleach, fear dried on concrete.

The door slammed shut behind her. Lock clicked. Expected.

Three men. Masks. Broad builds. Stances like hyenas circling a wounded lioness.

She stood straighter.

Tall One: You're braver than I thought. Coming alone? That takes guts. Shame we're going to spill them.

Y/N: (quiet, cold) Guts grow back. Your ego won't.

That set them off. The squat one laughed darkly as he circled her.

Squat One: Most girls cry by now. Especially when they realize the hero isn't coming.

Her fingers curled slightly, but her voice was steady.

Y/N: You're not the first to try this. You won't be the last. But you will regret being part of my story.
