Hi lovies 😘

Let's start
.
.

The stadium lights faded one by one, leaving only the echo of cheers trapped in concrete walls.
Jungkook stood backstage, sweat cooling on his skin, chest still rising too fast. The performance had been perfect—flawless choreography, steady vocals, smiles practiced down to muscle memory. The crowd had screamed his name like a prayer.
Now there was only silence.
Kim seokjin/Idol
Kim seokjin/Idol
Good job tonight, {Seokjin said, passing him a towel, his voice light but eyes sharp.}
Namjoon nodded nearby, already scrolling through his phone, brow furrowed in that familiar way that meant he was thinking ten steps ahead.
Hoseok laughed too loudly, trying to keep the energy alive. Jimin leaned against the wall, watching Jungkook with quiet concern. Yoongi said nothing at all.
Jackson Wang appeared at the end of the hallway, suit immaculate, expression unreadable.
Wang Jackson/Manager
Wang Jackson/Manager
Cars are ready, {he said.} No stops.
No one asked why. They never did anymore.
.

The Drive
The city blurred past the tinted windows. Neon lights smeared into colorless streaks, rain beginning to fall without warning.
NovelToon
Jungkook rested his head against the glass. That was when he felt it.
That pressure between the shoulders. The unmistakable sensation of being watched.
He straightened, scanning the street reflections—cars, pedestrians, shadows folding into shadows.
Nothing. Still, his fingers curled into his sleeve.
The car slowed suddenly.
Kim Namjoon/Idol
Kim Namjoon/Idol
Jackson? {Namjoon looked up.}
Driver
Driver
{The driver swore under his breath.} Roadblock.
Too quiet. Too empty.
Jungkook’s pulse spiked. Then the headlights died.
The world dropped into darkness. A door yanked open.
Someone shouted. Jungkook was pulled halfway out of the car before chaos exploded—metal striking metal, bodies colliding, a sharp crack that sounded like a gunshot echoing too loud in the rain.
He fell hard onto the asphalt. Someone grabbed him again—
And then— Nothing made sense.
A figure moved through the darkness with impossible precision. Not rushing. Not hesitating.
NovelToon
Just… ending things. Jungkook caught flashes only:
A man slammed into the side of the car Another dropped without a sound A third tried to run
He didn’t get far. Jungkook squeezed his eyes shut, breath trapped in his lungs.
A voice spoke near his ear—low, calm, terrifyingly steady.
???
???
“Don’t scream.” “Don’t look back.” “You’ll live.”
Warm fingers briefly closed around Jungkook’s wrist—checking his pulse. Then they were gone.
Sirens arrived too late. The attackers were nowhere to be found.
Jackson barked orders. Namjoon’s hands shook as he checked Jungkook over again and again. Hoseok swore under his breath. Jimin looked pale. Yoongi stared at the road like he was memorizing it.
Jungkook said nothing. He couldn’t stop thinking about the voice.
Not threatening. Not kind. Certain.
.

The Apartment
NovelToon
Hours later, Jungkook stood alone in his apartment.
The door was locked. The alarm was on. Nothing was disturbed.
Except— On the kitchen counter sat a single black rose.
NovelToon
Fresh. Perfect. Water droplets still clinging to its petals.
No note. No thorns removed.
Jungkook’s breath hitched. Slowly, he turned toward the darkened living room.
Jeon Jungkook/idol
Jeon Jungkook/idol
I know you’re not here, {he whispered.}
Silence answered. From somewhere far above the city, a man watched the building once more—face hidden by shadow, hands already stained with a violence Jungkook would never see.
Not meant for him. Never for him.

Hi lovies 😘

Let's start
.
.
.
The first thing Jungkook did when he woke up was check the rose.
It was still there. Black petals slightly curled now, water dried into faint stains on the marble counter. Proof it hadn’t been a dream. Proof that someone had been inside his apartment while he slept.
NovelToon
He didn’t scream. He didn’t call anyone.
Instead, he made coffee with hands that barely shook.
.
.
.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦
Jungkook hadn’t asked for access to the building’s security system.
It had already been granted.
The email sat unread in his inbox until now. Temporary access approved due to last night’s incident.
He rode the elevator down alone.
NovelToon
The security room smelled like dust and old electronics. Rows of monitors flickered softly. The guard on duty stood up too fast when he saw Jungkook.
Security man
Security man
Sir— I—I didn’t expect—
Jeon Jungkook/idol
Jeon Jungkook/idol
It’s fine, {Jungkook said. His voice sounded steadier than he felt.} I just want to see my floor. Last night.
The guard hesitated. Then nodded and stepped aside.
Jungkook sat.
NovelToon
The timestamp blinked on the screen. 02:17 A.M.
The footage showed the hallway outside Jungkook’s apartment.
Empty. Clean. Silent.
No flickering lights. No shadows stretching unnaturally. Just carpet and doors and stillness.
Security man
Security man
{The guard leaned closer.} See? Nothing unusual.
Jeon Jungkook/idol
Jeon Jungkook/idol
{Jungkook swallowed.} Can you zoom in?
The guard did. The timestamp jumped.
02:18 A.M. The hallway camera froze.
Just for a fraction of a second. Then— The screen glitched.
A figure stood directly in front of Jungkook’s door.
No blur. No distortion.
Perfectly clear. Tall. Still. Hands in pockets.
Not looking at the door. Looking directly at the camera.
At him. Jungkook’s breath stopped.
The man tilted his head slightly, as if acknowledging the watchful eye. His face was calm. Expression unreadable. Not threatening.
Patient. The timestamp resumed.
02:18 A.M. The man was gone.
No door opening. No footsteps. No shadow retreating.
Just absence.
Security man
Security man
{The guard frowned.} That’s— strange. Must be a system error.
Jeon Jungkook/idol
Jeon Jungkook/idol
{Jungkook stood abruptly.} Pause it.
The guard did. Jungkook stared at the frozen frame.
The man’s face was half-shadowed—but Jungkook recognized him anyway.
The voice from the night before wrapped around his spine.
???
???
Don’t look back. You’ll live.
Jeon Jungkook/idol
Jeon Jungkook/idol
That’s not an error, {Jungkook whispered.}
They pulled up the interior cameras.
Kitchen. Living room. Bedroom.
All normal. Until—
02:21 A.M. The kitchen camera flickered.
The kitchen camera flickered. The black rose appeared on the counter.
Already placed. The camera skipped forward.
No entry. No exit.
Security man
Security man
{The guard laughed nervously.} Okay, that’s— that’s not possible.
Jungkook didn’t answer. Because something else had changed.
He leaned closer to the screen. The rose.
The petals faced the camera. Arranged.
Deliberate. As if whoever placed it knew exactly where Jungkook would stand when he watched this.
Jeon Jungkook/idol
Jeon Jungkook/idol
{Jungkook stood up slowly.} I’m done, {he said.}
Security man
Security man
{The guard nodded too fast.} Of course. I’ll— I’ll report the malfunction.
Jungkook didn’t correct him. He rode the elevator back up alone.
Inside his apartment, the air felt different now. Not invaded. Occupied.
Jeon Jungkook/idol
Jeon Jungkook/idol
I saw you, {Jungkook said quietly into the empty room.}
Silence. Then—a pressure behind him. Not touch. Just awareness.
A presence that didn’t answer. Didn’t need to.
Because the message was already clear: He hadn’t broken in to hurt him. He hadn’t hidden from the camera.
He wanted Jungkook to know.
.
.
.
𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐥𝐬𝐞
From a building across the street, Taehyung lowered his phone.
The footage had played exactly as planned.
He hadn’t meant to be seen yet.
But Jungkook needed to understand one thing early: This wasn’t obsession. This was surveillance.
And he was very, very good at it.
