Back at their luxurious home, the tension from the party still lingers in the air. Taehyung heads straight to the bedroom, wanting to be alone for a moment to process everything that happened. Jungkook, concerned, follows him but gives him space, sensing that pushing too hard would only make things worse.

Lisa and Jennie, meanwhile, settle into the guest rooms, exchanging sly smiles as Jennie unpack her things. Jennie, feeling triumphant after her conversation with Taehyung, is in high spirits.

In the bedroom, Taehyung sits on the edge of the bed, his mind racing. Jungkook watches him from the doorway, unsure of how to approach the situation. After a moment he decided to sit next to Taehyung "Taehyung" jungkook began, his voice gentle as always."umm.. are you sure... everything okay. you seem a bit off after returning from the balcony."

Taehyung forces a smile and looks at jungkook with the same sparkling eyes."no no I'm fine Kookie I swear. It's just seeing Jennie brought some old memory that's it. There Is nothing serious."
Jungkook nod his head, though he isn't entirely convinced about what Taehyung said. But he can't force him. He thought Taehyung will tell him whenever he will be ready to tell if there's anything "okay then I guess but if there is anything bothering you. you can tell me." Saying that jungkook went to bathroom.
Taehyung appreciate jungkook concern but deep down he's feeling guilty not knowing how to say that to jungkook.

At guest room
Jennie unpacked her things. Both fresh up and sit in the bed. Lisa was curious how Jeenie knew about Taehyung so glaming with curiosity he approached jeenie "so, Jeenie" Lisa begins,"what's your history with Taehyung? You seemed pretty familiar with each other and top of that he Also let you live in the same house."

Jeenie smirks taking a ship of her wine."oh it's, yeah it's a long history. We have had our fair share of.... Interaction in the past. I will tell you one Day"
"Is that so..but you have to tell me one Day" Lisa said to her.
"Of course dear, don't worry but what about you and jungkook. You have started to live with them." Jeenie ask with the hint of curiosity. "Hmm.. about me and jungkook. We were like best friends before. I used to love him I mean I still do. He rejected every girl and boy so I thought he was waiting for me. And then I proposed to him and...." Jeenie interrupts Lisa "wait what really. You seriously proposed to him. Wow girl." Lisa looks at her with an angry face. "Can you let me finish properly" Jeenie just rolled her eyes and listen to Lisa. "When I proposed to him. He rejected me bu-". "Wait he rejected you. Haha same same but different." Jennie started to laugh and Lisa angrily went to bed. "Wait aren't you going to continue." Jennie asked looking at Lisa. "Continue my foot." Saying that Lisa went to sleep. And Jeenie also join her. Both rolled their eyes and slept.

Next day:
Taehyung woke up and went to kitchen jungkook was already there to make breakfast for four.
"Good morning Kookie" Taehyung greeted him with warm smile. "Hmm. Morning" he returned back.only Taehyung knows how badly he wants to kiss jungkook "Taehyung can I ask you a question" jungkook added "sure" Taehyung said with a smile.
"Why is Jeenie staying here? Be honest You hate Jennie. Right?"jungkook asked Taehyung

Taehyung's expression hardened. "It's complicated, Jungkook. Just trust me on This."

"Jungkook, there's a lot you don't know," Taehyung began, his voice trembling slightly. Jennie... she's holding something over me. But I promise you, it's not what you think."

Jungkook took Taehyung's hand, squeezing it reassuringly. "I trust you, Taehyung. But I need to know the truth. What is she holding over you?"

Taehyung took a deep breath, gathering his courage. "It's about my past, Jungkook. Before we met, I was involved in some things... things I'm not proud of. Jennie found out and she's using it to manipulate me. I'm not ready to tell you yet. But I promised I will tell you. Just believe me. Please don't listen to anything she has told you"

Jungkook frowned but nodded, deciding to bide his time and gather more information before confronting Taehyung directly.

That evening, Jungkook decided to take matters into his own hands. He approached Jennie in the living room, where she lounged with a glass of wine.

"Jennie," he said smoothly, "care to join me for a drink outside? I'd like to talk."

Jennie raised an eyebrow but agreed, intrigued. They stepped out onto the patio, the night air cool and refreshing.

"So, what's this about, Jungkook?" Jennie asked, her tone dripping with false innocence.

Jungkook leaned against the railing, his gaze piercing. "Cut the act, Jennie. I know you're up to something. Taehyung's been acting strange since you showed up."

Jennie laughed softly, a malicious glint in her eyes. "Oh, Jungkook, why are you so protective. Maybe Taehyung just has secrets he doesn't want to share with you."

Jungkook's jaw clenched. "And you think you can blackmail him? Why?"

Jennie's smile widened. "Let's just say I have leverage. As long as Taehyung cooperates, everything will be fine."

Jungkook stepped closer, his voice low and dangerous. "If you hurt him, Jennie, I swear—"

Jennie cut him off, her expression turning serious. "Don't make threats you can't keep, Jungkook. You should focus on keeping your perfect life intact."

Inside the house, Taehyung watched them from the window, his heart pounding. He knew Jennie was manipulating him, but he couldn't risk Jungkook finding out the truth. Not yet.

Meanwhile, Lisa approached Taehyung, her expression unusually soft. "You know, Taehyung, I never wanted to hurt you. I just want Jungkook."

Taehyung sighed, rubbing his temples. "Lisa, this isn't the way. If you really cared about him, you'd respect his choices."

Lisa frowned. "And let you have him? Not a chance. But maybe we can find a way to coexist without ruining everything."

Taehyung shook his head. "You and Jennie are playing a dangerous game. It won't end well for either of you.be In limit. Don't tell me I didn't warn you."

The night wore on, and as everyone retired to their rooms, Jungkook lay awake, his mind racing. He couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible was looming on the horizon.

In the guest room, Jennie and Lisa plotted their next move, their whispers filling the room with an ominous undertone.
Lisa leans back, contemplating Jennie's words. "Well, as long as we get what we want, I don't care what your motives are."

Jennie laughs softly "'Trust me, Lisa. We'll both get exactly what we want."

Taehyung, unable to sleep, slipped out to the balcony. He stared out at the city lights, wondering how much longer he could keep his secret and protect Jungkook from the storm that was coming.He knows that the only way to protect his secret and his relationship with Jungkook is to stay one step ahead of Jennie and Lisa. Taehyung may be playing with fire, but he's determined not to get burned.

As the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, Taehyung made a decision. He couldn't let Jennie and Lisa tear apart what he and Jungkook had built.
