The room was dimly lit, with only the pale glow of a nearby lamp illuminating the space. Red laser lights danced across the walls, casting shadows that flickered.

A small dartboard hung on a wall in the center of the room, the targets marked with black and white rings.

A tall, dark figure stood in front of the board, a set of darts clutched in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he launched the first dart, the sharp point sinking into the center of the photos with a solid thunk.

He stepped back from the board, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Baby!"

He smiled slightly as a woman entered the room and hugged him from the side. She wrapped her arms around his middle, leaning her head against his shoulder as she looked at the board.

"Baby," she said, her voice soft. "Nice shots."

He stepped forward, his smirk widening as he looked at the board. With a quick movement, he reached out and touched the photo that had been hit by his dart.

His smirk deepened as he leaned in closer to the photo, whispering under his breath. "I'll destroy you, Jennie Kim."

He traced his finger over the image of her on the photo, his touch almost reverent as if he was making a promise to do whatever it took to bring her down.

The woman standing beside him was watching him quietly, her eyes following the movement of his finger on the photo.

She finally spoke up, her voice soft against the heavy silence. "It's like falling into a dark pit fighting against her, Kai. Do you think you can do this?"

He turned to look at her then, his eyes raising slightly. He didn't appreciate her doubt, but he knew she wasn't the only one who had their doubts.

"I don't just think I can," he said. "I know I can."

He looked back at the photo on the board, his hand curling into a tight fist at his side.

"Jennie Kim is nothing but a pawn," he said, his tone taking on an almost dangerous edge. "And I will crush her like the pathetic piece of trash that she is."

Lisa was silently reading a book with her glasses on as somebody rang the bell of the villa. She didn't look up and continued reading but the bell rang again and again.

Frustrated, she looked up from her book and saw Jungkook running on the treadmill in the corner of the room.

"Somebody go check the damn door," she said, annoyed that she was distracted from her reading.

Jungkook rolled his eyes but stopped the treadmill and walked over to the door, checking the security screen before opening it.

Jungkook opened the door and saw a middle-aged man standing on the other side, holding a package.

He looked nervous and uncomfortable, shifting his weight from one foot to the other.

"Good evening, sir," he said, clearing his throat. "I have a delivery for Miss Ruby."

Jungkook looked over his shoulder back into the villa and then nodded silently. He took the parcel from the man and signed the delivery note before turning back to the door.

He closed the door and made his way back over to where Lisa was sitting, holding the parcel in his hand.

He walked over to Lisa and tapped her on the shoulder, interrupting her reading.

"Call your sister down. There's a parcel for her," he said, holding out the package towards her.

She glanced up from her book, irritated at being disturbed. She saw the parcel in Jungkook's hand and scowled.

"Fuck you," she snapped.

"We can do that later. First, call your sister down," he rolled his eyes, holding the parcel out towards her again.

"What's wrong?"

They both looked up and saw Ruby walking down the stairs, her straight hair flowing behind her.

She was barefoot and wearing a shirt that was too big for her, the shirt falling casually off one of her shoulders.

"Somebody delivered something for you," Jungkook said, holding out the parcel towards her.

"Ok," she said, taking the parcel from him.

"Who sent this?" she asked, flipping it over to examine the address.

"I don't know, it came without a note," Jungkook replied, shrugging.

Lisa, who had been watching in silence, said, "Be careful, it could be a bomb."

Jungkook rolled his eyes at her but said nothing, while Ruby chuckled slightly.

"There's no address on it," she said, a small frown on her face.

Her eyes fell on a hexagonal shaped mark on one side of the box.

She tilted her head slightly, a frown on her face. "I've seen this mark somewhere before...but where?"

Suddenly, it hit her and she dropped the box on the nearest surface. She looked at Jungkook and Lisa, her lower lip quivering slightly.

"Call everyone, it's an emergency!" she yelled out.
