"You should all head to bed," Mr. Jeon came striding into the mansion, appearing very exhausted from participating in the social gathering. Taehyung gulped and walked off without saying anything as Jungkook and I awkwardly remained on the couch.

"Where's... your mother and Taehyung's parents?" I quietly asked Jungkook after he backed away from me.

"Bussiness trip to somewhere I don't know," Jungkook shrugged, getting onto his feet.

"Have you seen Taehyung? He keeps disappearing," Jimin came striding into the mansion with his parents.

"He went to his room," Jungkook nodded towards the corridor. Jimin let a huge sigh and rushed after his friend.

"Well... get some rest," Jungkook shrugged, walking away from me. I sat alone in the living room, glancing around the familiar door and the wooden pattern of the Jeon's mansion. Here I am, again, huh? No matter how hard I try to escape this place. I'm back again. I slowly limped back to my room. The familiar scent and the city view. It's true, I can't escape this place, can I? I took a long bath before crawling into my bed in exhaustion.

"I'm doing this for you," I whispered, quietly repeating Yoongi's words in the dark. Why was he warning me about his own parents? I hadn't done anything wrong. I twisted and turned in my bed, unable to sleep as endless thoughts crept into my head.

"Maybe I should take a walk," I sighed, finally getting off my bed to wander the dimly lit corridor.  I'm feeling homesick already. I miss eomma and appa so much. I slowly sat down on the couch, feeling weirdly... empty.

"APPA! APPA!" Someone frantically shouted from the hallway as thudding footsteps approached the living room... startling me. Flick! Flick! The lights in the entire mansion suddenly lit up so brightly- I had to shield my eyes from the bright beam.

"Call my father! Wake everyone up!" Jungkook shouted at a sleepy-looking maid, so she quickly nodded and rushed off.

"What's going on?" I asked, turning to look at Jungkook in confusion. He looks terrified.

"What are you doing here?" Jungkook turned to ask me as he tightly clenched his phone.

"I couldn't sleep, so I... you know- Are you okay?" I asked, getting up unsurely as Jungkook combed his hand wildly through his hair, growing paler by the passing second. Why does he look so scared?

"I-I'm not fine!" Jungkook snapped in panic. What's wrong with him??

"Why are you screaming in the middle of the night?" Taehyung questioned sleepily as he walked into the living room in his robe and slippers.

"I received a- threat...!" Jungkook shrieked at Taehyung with his eyes wide open.

"Threat? What threat?" Jimin groggily walked into the living room, followed by his parents.

"Appa!" Jungkook gasped, frantically turning to look at Mr. Jeon as he approached us. What's going on?

"What's with the fuss?" Mr. Jeon yawned, slumping onto the couch.

"I GOT A FREAKING DEATH THREAT!" Jungkook shrieked, holding up his phone with his eyes wide open. Jimin was sleepily staring at the floor but snapped his head in Jungkook's direction when he made sense of the alpha's words. Taehyung frowned at his cousin and crossed his arms.

"What...?" Mr. Jeon questioned, getting onto his feet cautiously as if he misheard Jungkook's claim.

"I go-got a threat. They called me," Jungkook stuttered, holding up his phone in fright.
