Celestial Encounters : A BTS One Shot Series

Sasaeng - Jhope

This is a series, hope you like it.

J-Hope had been feeling uneasy for a while. It was a subtle, creeping sensation, a constant prickle on the back of his neck that refused to go away. No matter where he went or what he was doing, he felt eyes on him. At first, he dismissed it as paranoia, a byproduct of his high-profile lifestyle. But the feeling persisted, becoming harder to ignore.

One evening, he had dinner with his sister, hoping to relax and catch up. They laughed and chatted over their favorite dishes, but the unease lingered. J-Hope found himself glancing over his shoulder more than once, scanning the restaurant for any unfamiliar faces. He didn't see anyone particularly suspicious, but the sensation of being watched gnawed at him.

The next day, Suga noticed J-Hope's distracted behavior during rehearsal. Suga had always been perceptive, especially when it came to his members. "Hey, Hobi," he called out during a break, his voice laced with concern. "You okay? You've been acting a bit off lately."

J-Hope forced a smile, not wanting to worry his friend. "I'm fine, hyung. Just tired, I guess."

Suga didn't push, but the worry in his eyes was evident. J-Hope appreciated the concern but felt it was something he needed to handle on his own. He didn't want to burden anyone else with his anxieties.

A few days later, J-Hope was alone in the dance studio, working on a new routine. The room was dimly lit, the mirrored walls reflecting his every move. As he danced, the feeling of being watched intensified. He tried to shake it off, focusing on his choreography, but it was no use. Every nerve in his body was on high alert.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. He stopped mid-move, panting slightly, and glanced around the room. No one was there. The studio was empty, save for him. Still, the sensation was so strong that he decided to check outside. He stepped into the hallway, peering down both ends, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Feeling unsettled, J-Hope decided to cut his practice short and head back to the dorm. As he walked, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being followed. At first, he dismissed it as paranoia, attributing it to random passersby. But then, he caught sight of a shadow in the reflection of a shop window. Someone was behind him, following him at a distance.

His heart raced as he picked up his pace, trying to stay calm. He didn't want to cause a scene or draw any attention, but the fear was real. He quickened his steps, almost breaking into a run by the time he reached the dorm building. He burst through the door, breathing heavily, startling Jin and RM who were lounging in the living room.

"J-Hope, what's wrong?" RM asked, standing up immediately.

Jin's eyes widened with concern. "Are you okay?"

The other members, drawn by the commotion, came out of their rooms, their faces etched with worry. J-Hope took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. He couldn't keep it to himself any longer. "I... I think someone is following me," he confessed, his voice trembling slightly. "I've felt like someone's been watching me for weeks now. Today, I saw someone behind me in the reflection of a window. I don't know who it is, but it's really freaking me out."

The room fell silent as his words sank in. RM and Suga exchanged a glance before RM pulled out his phone. "We need to call the management right away. This isn't something you should deal with alone."

Suga nodded, his expression serious. "You did the right thing by telling us, Hobi. We'll handle this together."

Within minutes, RM was on the phone with the management, explaining the situation. The response was immediate. The company took the matter very seriously, promising to increase security measures and launch an investigation into the stalker.

Over the next few days, J-Hope was assigned additional security personnel. He couldn't go anywhere without a bodyguard by his side. It was an adjustment, but it made him feel safer. The management also coordinated with local authorities to track down the stalker.

Eventually, the investigation led to the identification of the stalker, who turned out to be a saesang fan. The company didn't waste any time pressing charges. The fan and their accomplices were sued for harassment and invasion of privacy. The swift action brought some relief to J-Hope, though the experience had left him shaken.

Despite the ordeal, J-Hope felt grateful for the support of his bandmates and the company. They had rallied around him when he needed it most, ensuring his safety and well-being. The extra security measures remained in place for a while, giving him peace of mind as he continued with his busy schedule.

In the end, J-Hope learned an important lesson about the importance of speaking up and seeking help when something didn't feel right. It wasn't easy to admit his fears, but opening up to his friends had been the first step toward resolving the situation. With their support, he felt stronger and more resilient, ready to face whatever challenges came his way.
