Y/N gasped as she sat up on her bed, startled. A wave of emotions overwhelmed her, and she couldn't feel her body at all. "Where am I?" She panicked, breathing like a fish out of water. "Who are you guys?"
"Namjoon, stop! You're hurting her!" Taehyung begged, clutching the older one's arm. "Can't we just stop here? Everything seems fine enough!"
Namjoon gave Taehyung a soft look but then turned back to his computer. "I can't do anything about it now. We've already started."
Hoseok and Yoongi were gently dragging Taehyung back to his spot. "Tae, he's right. Besides, it is almost done."

I woke up and saw the same dim ceiling stare down at me. However, this time it was different. I peeked over to my side and saw the lamp sitting there, emitting its usual bright glow. I smiled and got out of bed, ready to start my day. After making myself someone presentable, I stepped out of my house and headed towards V's store.
However, when I reached the building, it was abandoned, the handsome boy nowhere to be seen. I puckered my lips out and timidly opened the door. Inside was Yoongi and Hoseok, standing still and staring dead at me. Feeling alarmed, I kept my distance and shouted, "What are you guys doing here? Where's V?"
Behind the two was a figure of a man I had never seen before. Tall, lean, and scary. He nodded towards the couple, and they started inching closer to me, their eyes as cold as ice.
"W-what's going on?" I backed away, running into a wall.
"Stay still, Y/N. We won't hurt you." Hoseok cooed, trying to calm me down. "This is Namjoon." He turned to the new guy. "Now you guys know each other. You have to trust us, Y/N."
Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands grasp my sides and hoist me up into the air. Panicking, I let out a shriek and kicked my feet around, unable to hit anything. I looked down at my waist to find black smoke all around my lower body.
Namjoon gasped and yelled, "That's it! That's what's keeping her stuck here!" Hoseok and Yoongi stared in shock but immediately got into action. "Don't let it take her!"
I wiggled around desperately, struggling to free myself from the dark figure clutching on to me. A wave of fear crashed over me as a name popped into my head. "Taehyung." I said softly, feeling the monstrous figure go stiff. "Taehyung, help me!" I cried out once more, tears running down my cheeks.
Namjoon, Hoseok, and Yoongi stared with their jaws dropping as the cloudy figure lowered me to the ground. I looked up at the dark silhouette, and it seemed to gaze down at me before compacting together into a human form.
Once the dark figure was fully transformed back into a human, I walked closer to the person now standing near me. I saw a messy clump of blond hair and piercing blue eyes.
"V?" I called out. "Taehyung?" I took another step towards him.
"Y/N." He gave me a bright smile and ran up to embrace me in his loving arms. "Gosh, I missed you so much."
Namjoon, appearing annoyed, stormed towards us and separated me from Taehyung. "Do you know how dangerous that is?" He fumed, turning to the male. "Why would you do such thing, Tae? You know better than to mess with the code! What was the point of this?"
"I wanted to keep her safe with me. I knew you guys were going to keep sending her here and taking her back, so I figured if I just held on to her here, then maybe you guys would just leave her with me." Taehyung said.
Confused, I looked around at everyone else, who seemed to be understanding everything Taehyung was saying. "Taetae, I don't understand." I tugged on the taller male's sleeve, suddenly craving his warmth, which I somehow knew what it felt like.
He simply shook his head and chuckled. He planted a kiss on my forehead and cupped my cheeks. "You should go back home. I'll see you there."
I gave Taehyung a questioning stare before I was suddenly zapped back into another world.

"Taehyung!" Namjoon frowned as he looked at the younger member, who had a sheepish smile on his face.
"Sorry..."
Y/N woke up from her adventure, and she dazily scanned the room she was in. "Taetae..?" She called out, looking for the boy with messy blond hair and charming eyes. At hearing his name being called, Taehyung hopped over to where Y/N was laying, holding her hand.
"Baby, I'm so sorry. I can't believe my selfish needs got the best of me!" He pursed his lips together in an apologetic smile, planting a soft kiss on the female's forehead. "But I'm glad you're back home safely."
Y/N sat up in the bed, cradling Taehyung in her arms. The couple sat there for a moment, simply embracing each other and sharing a few "I love you"s. Namjoon has finished writing out his report, and he turned the the crew: Hoseok, Yoongi, Taehyung, and Y/N.
"Thank you guys for helping me out with my simulation. I know you guys technically risked your lives to help me make this, but thanks to you guys, I was able to test out the code and make sure that it was safe and no bad things happened to anyone." Namjoon said, and everyone clapped. "This new piece of technology will help us figure out what we need to do now to make sure that the world doesn't end up like what you guys saw in the simulation."
Taehyung and Y/N walked home hand in hand, smiles decorating their beautiful faces. They laughed as they talked about things they saw.
"Yeah, for some reason, your programming of the simulation made you lose all your memory, which is why you couldn't remember me. And every time we took you out of the simulation, you had a hard time remembering stuff." Taehyung explained when Y/N asked why everyone seemed so worried about her.
Y/N chuckled and tightened her grip on Taehyung's hand as they made their way to their store, the Magic Shop.
