Shit is about to go down :)

ㅡ

After the movie night with Jihoon and Chansook, you crawled into bed, a content smile gracing your lips. The evening had left you feeling surprisingly happy. Maybe it was the relief of Jihoon not ignoring you, as you had thought, or perhaps it was simply the joy of spending quality time with friends.

For a fleeting moment, you allowed yourself to forget that you were back in the past, far removed from the familiarity of your timeline. The weight of your purpose here, your mission, momentarily faded into the background. Instead, you reveled in the simple pleasure of sharing laughter and companionship with those you cared about.

It was a rare moment of respite, a welcome break from the relentless march of your mission. For the first time since arriving in this unfamiliar time, you allowed yourself to be fully present, embracing the comfort of normalcy.

As you lay in bed, the echoes of laughter and the warmth of last night lingered in your mind, casting a gentle glow over your thoughts. It was a reminder of the simple joys that life had to offer, even amidst the complexities of your task.

As the day began, you and Chansook rose early to heed the summons for preparations at the company. You made a concerted effort to avoid crossing paths with the boys, particularly Carla, seeking solace in the familiarity of Chansook's support.

Though a part of you yearned for Hoseok's acknowledgment of the gift you had bestowed upon him, you he did not show himself in front of you. Still, a glimmer of hope lingered in your heart.

Now, amidst the bustle of the day's activities, you found yourself in the boys' room alongside Chansook and other staff members.

"(Name)?" you hummed in response, not looking at her. "Is your necklace glowing or am I blind?" At Chansook's unexpected question, you initially responded with a nonchalant hum, absorbed in your own thoughts. But her words jolted you into sudden awareness, prompting you to glance down at your necklace.

Sure enough, a soft, ethereal glow emanated from the pendant dangling against your chest. Your heart raced as you observed the luminous white hue, confirming Chansook's observation

As the sound of hurried footsteps and panicked voices filled the hallway, you and Chansook exchanged a concerned glance before stepping out of the room to investigate. The commotion outside intensified, drawing your attention to the chaos unfolding before you.

Suddenly, a figure clad in black dashed past you with lightning speed, nearly causing you to stumble in surprise. Something shiny caught your eye but you shook your head, thinking that it was the least of your problems right now.

"The patient is having difficulty breathing!"

"He's not responding!"

"Prepare the breathing mask!"

Your breath caught in your throat as you watched the paramedics rush past, the figure on the stretcher barely recognizable in the chaos. Chansook's gasp of disbelief mirrored your own shock as she voiced the name you never expected to hear in this context.

"Isn't that Jungkook?"

Questions raced through your mind, each one more frantic than the last. How could this have happened? Why Jungkook?

As the stretcher drew closer, time seemed to slow to a crawl. You couldn't tear your eyes away from the sight of Jungkook's pained expression, his face contorted in agony.

Namjoon was running beside him, panicked and worried for his fellow member.

Whispers rippled through the crowd as people made way for the stretcher, speculation swirling about the events leading to this moment. But amidst the chaos and confusion, your gaze locked with Jungkook's terrified eyes, a silent exchange of fear and uncertainty passing between you before his eyes rolled back.
