HOSPITAL - ROOM - DAY
Y/N, looking more lively than before but still frail, sits propped up in her hospital bed. Jin Kyung and Oh Nara are by her side, offering comforting company. Hyu Bin stands by the door, his demeanor unexpectedly warm but tinged with a hint of something darker. He scolded her for being so careless. He never showed his love for Y/N, but today he was being a perfect dad.
Hyu Bin:(looking around) Where is Jungkook?
Y/N: (weak smile) Enjoying his freedom before starting to work again at the company.
Hyu Bin: (nods) And where are his other friends?
Y/N: Jimin is with Jungkook. Suga is with Eun Woo helping him with some work. Roy is at Alexander's home because he's sick.
*Hyu Bin's eyes narrow slightly as he absorbs this information. His expression is a carefully controlled mix of concern and something else—anticipation.
Hyu Bin: Well, I'm glad to see you're feeling better. Take care, Y/N.
Y/N: Thank you, Dad.
As Hyu Bin exits the room, his friendly facade drops, replaced by a calculating smirk. He strides purposefully down the hospital corridor, his footsteps echoing ominously.
HOSPITAL PARKING LOT
Hyu Bin approaches his sleek, black car. He opens the driver's side door and gets in, his smirk growing darker. He pulls out his phone and dials a number, his eyes scanning the parking lot to ensure he's not being watched.
Hyu Bin: (into phone) It's me. Everything's in place. Y/N is alone, and Jungkook and the others are out of the way.
Voice on phone: (on the other end, intrigued) What's the plan?
Hyu Bin: (smirking) I want you to keep tabs on Jungkook and the others. It's time to take advantage of this opportunity. They are all separate. Get your work done, today.
Voice on phone: Understood. I'll update you after work is done.
Hyu Bin hangs up and slips his phone back into his pocket. He starts the car, his gaze fixed forward with grim determination. The engine roars to life, and he speeds out of the parking lot, his mind already plotting the next steps.
The hospital stands quiet, the mid-day sun casting long shadows. Hyu Bin's car disappears into the distance, leaving behind a sense of impending tension. The camera lingers on the hospital's entrance, hinting at the storm that's about to unfold.
OPEN FIELD - DAY
Jungkook and Jimin are in the middle of an open field, the sun casting long shadows as they prepare for a friendly race. The grassy expanse is interrupted only by the occasional wildflower and the distant outline of trees. Their cars are parked nearby, and both men are in high spirits.
Jimin: (grinning) You know, Jungkook, you're going to get stuck in business eventually.
Jungkook: (laughing) Nah, I can only get trapped in Y/N's hand. Nothing else can trap me.
With a playful shove, they start their race, engines roaring to life as they speed across the open field. The excitement in the air is palpable, but someone watches them from a distance, hidden behind the trees.
Jungkook and Jimin race towards the makeshift finish line, the sound of their engines cutting through the quiet. Just as they approach, a sudden shot rings out. The tire of Jimin's car bursts, and the vehicle loses control, skidding violently before rolling over and crashing on the other side of the field.
Jungkook races towards the wreckage, panic in his eyes. The car is overturned, and the scene is chaotic. Jungkook tries to open the door, but it's jammed. He sees Jimin slumped inside, bleeding from his head.
Jungkook: (shouting) Jimin! Are you okay?
Jimin: (weakly) I'll be okay. Don't try to save me. It's him...
Jungkook: Who? Who did this? *finally able to take him out of the car.
Jimin: (struggling) Dunge. Watch out!
Before Jungkook can react, another shot is fired. Jimin, pushes Jungkook out of the way and takes the bullet himself. Jimin falls to the ground, injured but alive. The shooter, a shadowy figure, quickly turns and runs away, making sure Jimin is dead.
Jungkook: (yelling) Where are you running, bastard?!!! *Jimin lies in his arms
Jungkook watches helplessly as the figure disappears into the distance. His attention snaps back to Jimin lies motionless, desperately trying to wake Jimin, but the blood loss is severe.
Jungkook: (crying) Jimin, stay with me! Please!
He pulls out his phone and dials for an ambulance, his hands shaking uncontrollably. As he checks Jimin's pulse, his face contorts in grief.
Jungkook: (sobbing) No... No, Jimin! Don't leave me!
Emergency sirens approach, but it's too late. Jimin's lifeless body is carefully removed from the wreckage and taken away. Jungkook collapses to his knees, tears streaming down his face, his sobs echoing through the now silent field.
Jungkook: (crying out) Why? Why did this have to happen?!!!
As the ambulance departs with Jimin's body, Jungkook remains behind, his world shattered. His eyes are red and his expression one of profound loss. He then found out that the letter "F" signifies "Friend."
Jungkook immediately called V, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. He's visibly shaken, his eyes darting between the road and his phone. He hits speed dial and waits for V to pick up.
Jungkook: (into phone, urgent) Roy, where are you?
V: (on phone, puzzled) I'm out getting medicine for Alexander. What's going on?
Jungkook: (stressed) Just listen. The letter "F" stands for "Friend." I need you to get back to your house right away.
Before V can respond, Jungkook hangs up and tries to reach Suga and Eun Woo, but their phones go straight to voicemail. His anxiety mounts as he speeds towards Suga's place.
V rushes through the door, the sound of chaos immediately hitting him. The room is a mess; broken computers and scattered papers litter the floor. In the center, Alexander lies motionless, a pool of blood spreading around him.
V: (panicked) Alexander! *V drops to his knees beside Alexander, desperately trying to stop the bleeding. His hands are shaky as he applies pressure to the wounds* Can you hold it longer?
Alexander: (faintly) I can't... I've lost too much blood...
V removes his mask, revealing his true identity to Alexander.
V: (tears in his eyes) It's me, V. Hang in there. The ambulance will be here soon.
Alexander: (smiling weakly) You bastard... Why were you hiding your identity? What about Y/N? Did she know?
V: (choked up) I've already given up on her. Jungkook can protect her. I couldn't reveal myself because if Y/N's dad saw me again, he'd do something terrible. I didn't want Y/N to suffer more.
Alexander: (struggling to speak) Take care of Chaoyue for me. Tell her I love her... and Hyu Bin is... Dunge...
Alexander's voice fades, and his head rolls to the side. V checks his pulse, but there's no response. His face crumples into a heart-wrenching sob as he pulls Alexander's lifeless body into a tight embrace.
V: (sobbing) I'm sorry...I should have known... I should have known Hyu Bin could be Dunge. Why did he have to kill you? What am I going to say to Y/N?
The sound of sirens approaches. V gently places Alexander's body on the stretcher as paramedics arrive. He watches in silence, his face hidden behind his mask again. The paramedics load Alexander into the ambulance, and V steps back, feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders.
V enters the room, hoping to salvage something useful, but it's clear the room has been thoroughly ransacked. Every computer is destroyed, documents shredded or scattered.
V: (frustrated) Damn it...
V pulls out his phone and dials Jungkook.
Jungkook: (on phone, frantic) Roy? What's going on? Are you guys alright?
V: (voice heavy) Alexander is dead. They killed him. Everything in his computer room is destroyed. We have no leads on Dunge now. I'm so sorry, Jungkook.
Jungkook: (voice breaking) No... not Alexander. This is a disaster. What do we do now?
V didn't tell Jungkook about Hyu Bin being Dunge because he is Y/N's dad and Jungkook's father-in-law. V knew that without any proof they aren't going to believe this.
Suga sits alone at a table outside a bustling restaurant, occasionally glancing at his phone. The warm sunlight bathes the area, giving a serene atmosphere. Eun Woo went out to get gifts for his mother because he was going to China with Hyje In to meet his parents. Suga was waiting for him. He watches as Eun Woo, carrying a bag of gifts, approaches, waving cheerfully.
Eun Woo: (cheerful) Hey, Suga! Got some gifts for my mom. Ready to head out?
Suga: (smiling) Yeah, just waiting for a call from Jungkook. He's been trying to reach me.
*As Eun Woo was approaching, Suga's phone rang. It's Jungkook.
Jungkook: (on phone, urgent) Suga, stay safe. Remember, F means friend.
*Before Suga can respond, a sudden, horrifying thud breaks the conversation. A truck speeds by, having just struck Eun Woo, who is now sprawled on the ground. The truck doesn't stop and quickly vanishes from view.
Suga:(screaming) Eun Woo!!
Suga's voice is filled with anguish as he runs toward Eun Woo. The crowd around the restaurant gasps and gathers, their murmurs growing louder. Suga kneels beside Eun Woo, who lies motionless on the pavement.
Suga: (crying out) Someone help! Please, someone, help! * Jungkook also heard some crashing sound so he said to Suga that he will be there soon.
He frantically checks Eun Woo's condition, desperately hoping for any sign of life. Amid the chaos, Suga's hands tremble as he takes the gift Eun Woo had bought for his mother, clutching it tightly.
Jungkook and V arrive on the scene, their faces etched with alarm and sorrow. They push through the crowd and reach Suga, who is still kneeling beside Eun Woo, tears streaming down his face.
Paramedics arrive, carefully attending to Eun Woo's lifeless body. They place him on a stretcher, and Suga, still in shock, watches helplessly as they work. Jungkook and V support Suga, guiding him away from the scene.
Suga: (voice breaking) He was just going to buy gifts for his mother... Why did this happen?
As the ambulance takes Eun Woo's body away, Suga clutches the gift he took from Eun Woo's hand. The crowd slowly disperses, leaving behind a scene of devastation and grief. Jungkook and V stay close to Suga, their faces filled with resolve and concern.
Y/N, looking a mix of relief and fatigue, is preparing to be discharged. The room is quiet, with the soft beeping of medical equipment in the background. Jin Kyung is by her side, ready to help her out.
Nurse: (to Y/N) You're all set to go. Just make sure to follow up with your doctor and take it easy.
Y//N: (nods) Thank you.
As they gather Y/N's things, Rinda enters the room with a warm smile, carrying a bouquet. Jin Kyung greets Rinda with genuine hospitality, unaware of Rinda's true intentions.
Jin Kyung: (to Rinda) Oh, Rinda! How nice of you to visit. Y/N is just about to be discharged.
Rinda: (smiling) Thank you. I wanted to come and offer my support.
Jin Kyung, unaware of any underlying tension, leaves to give Y/N and Rinda some privacy. Y/N, noticing the uneasy air between them, asks Rinda to sit down.
Y/N: Why are you here? What do you want? Miss Rinda!
Rinda: (sitting down, tone turning cold) You need to know something important. It's about your friends.
Y/N: (confused) My friends? What do you mean?
Rinda's expression darkens as she delivers the devastating news.
Rinda: (flatly) Jimin, Alexander, and Eun Woo... they're dead. We killed them.
Y/N: (voice rising, shocked) WHAT?! No... this can't be true!
Her face turns pale, and she clutches the edge of the bed, struggling to process the shocking revelation. Tears well up in her eyes as the gravity of the situation sinks in.
Rinda: (smirking slightly) This is Dunge's gift for your wedding. A reminder of what happens when you cross him.
Y/N's face contorts with anger and sorrow. She clenches her fists, her initial instinct being to lash out. But she takes a deep breath, controlling her rage to avoid causing a scene, especially with her mother's presence and the fragile state she's in.
Y/N: (struggling to stay calm) You... you're a monster. How could you do this?
Rinda: (rising to leave) It's all part of the game. Just try to figure out who could be next.
Rinda turns and walks out of the room, her departure leaving Y/N in a state of utter despair. Y/N's tears flow freely now, the weight of her friends' deaths crushing her. She looks around the room, her heart heavy with grief and disbelief.
Rinda exits the hospital with a cold satisfaction, her mission complete. She heads to her car, leaving Y/N behind in her moment of devastation.
Y/N slumps back onto her bed, her tears staining her cheeks. The hospital room, once a place of recovery, now feels like a cage of sorrow. Jin Kyung sensing something is wrong, approached, her face etched with concern.
jin Kyung: (worried) Y/N, what happened? Are you okay?
Y/N: (voice trembling) No... I'm not okay. I... I just found out that my friends are dead. Jimin, Alexander, Eun Woo... They were killed. I'm going to see Jungkook.
Jin Kyung just stood there trying to hold the situation.
The funeral was held on a somber, overcast day, the clouds mirroring the grief that blanketed those in attendance. The air was thick with sorrow as they all gathered friends for Jimin, Alexander, and Eun Woo struggled to come to terms with theis tragic loss.
Hyje In and Chaoyue, unable to contain their anguish, wept openly. Their tears streamed down their faces, mingling with the rain that had begun to fall, as if the heavens themselves were mourning. They clung to each other for support, their sobs punctuating the heavy silence.
Jungkook and Y/N stood close by, their faces etched with a profound sadness. Their eyes were red and swollen from crying, each one lost in their own thoughts, struggling to process the enormity of the loss. They reached for each other's hands, finding a small measure of comfort in their shared grief.
Suga and V stood apart from the rest, their expressions a mix of stoicism and deep, unspoken pain. They were both lost in their memories, each recollection a bittersweet reminder of the times they had shared with their fallen friends. The memories seemed to weigh heavily on them, and their usual composure was replaced by a heavy silence. Their hearts were aching, their minds racing through past moments with Jimin, Alexander, and Eun Woo, each memory a poignant reminder of what had been lost. Hyu Bin also came to offer his fake concerns.
As the ceremony concluded, the attendees gathered around, their faces solemn and resolute. A quiet promise hung in the air, unspoken yet understood by all: a vow to seek justice for the fallen. The grief that had consumed them was now intertwined with a burning desire for retribution.
Hyje In and Chaoyue, though exhausted from their tears, made a silent pact with Jungkook and Y/N. They would find out who was responsible for this tragedy and ensure that they faced the consequences. Suga and V, their gazes fixed on the horizon, joined in the unspoken vow. Their eyes, though weary, burned with a fierce determination to honor their friends' memory by pursuing justice.
The rain continued to fall, a somber reminder of the day's events, but beneath it lay a steely resolve. The friends and loved ones of Jimin, Alexander, and Eun Woo would not rest until they had avenged their deaths, ensuring that their sacrifice would not be in vain.
The atmosphere was heavy with grief and unspoken tension. The air around the grave seemed to thicken with every unspoken word, and the weight of loss was palpable. After exchanging heartfelt farewells with Hyje In and Chaoyue, Y/N approached Jungkook, who was sitting in somber silence near the grave.
Y/N took a deep breath and spoke with a voice tinged with desperation
Y/N: Let's give up and give him what he wants.
Suga, his face set in a grim line, shook his head.
Suga: We can't give up after what he has done, can we?
Y/N: But we can't afford to lose anyone else, *Y/N countered, her voice wavering.
Jungkook looked up, eyes steely with determination.
Jungkook: Sorry, Y/N, but I can't give up.
Seeing the resolve in Jungkook's eyes, Y/N sighed, realizing that convincing him otherwise was futile. The group's attention turned to V, who was deep in thought, his expression unreadable. V wrestled with the decision to reveal the truth about himself but remained silent, caught in his internal conflict. Finally, he broke the silence, his voice steady but low,
V: It's time to meet Dunge. Y/N, tell him that you're ready to give the company to him. Then we can lure him out.
Just then, Jennie arrived, her face etched with concern.
Jennie: Are you guys okay? *she asked, her eyes scanning the group. When no one responded, she continued* You all need to take some rest if you want to defeat Dunge.
Suga, his heart heavy with the loss of Jimin, Alexander, and Eun Woo, walked away, unable to stay amid the sorrowful gathering. V, feeling the weight of the moment, rested his head on Jennie's shoulder. Jennie, sensing his need for comfort, embraced him, offering a moment of solace.
On the other side, Y/N and Jungkook watched the tender scene with a mixture of hope and concern. Jungkook murmured,
Jungkook: Looks like they are made for each other.
Y/N nodded, her gaze shifting to the horizon.
Y/N: I hope Chaoyue and Hyje In can pass this hard time.* she said softly.
Y/N: (her concern evident in her voice) How are you feeling now?
Jungkook's face was etched with a mixture of anger and sorrow.
Jungkook: I'm not fine, *he said, his voice rough with emotion* How could he do such a thing? All at once, he killed all of them. We were so focused on capturing his people that we should have caught him first. If we had, this wouldn't have happened.
Y/N placed a comforting hand on Jungkook's shoulder, her own eyes clouded with sadness.
Y/N: Let's go home. It's not safe to stay here.
Suga, who had been quietly listening, stepped forward with a resolute expression.
Suga: I am not going with you guys, *he said firmly* I have to meet Eun Woo's and Alexander's mother. I won't be able to come back soon. So, you guys will have to capture him without me.
V, sensing the need for solidarity, nodded understandingly.
V: Don't worry, just go, *he said, trying to offer some reassurance amidst the heavy atmosphere.
As the group began to disband, V, still grappling with the recent losses, took a final moment by his friends' graves. Removing his mask, he whispered apologies to the departed souls, his heart heavy with regret. Y/N and Jungkook watched from a distance, their eyes revealing the recognition they had kept hidden—they knew that Roy was V. They had been waiting for him to reveal his true identity, and now, their silent acknowledgment weighed heavily in the space between them.
Jennie, witnessing V's unmasked grief, felt a pang of confusion but was unable to grasp the deeper implications. Her emotions were mixed with concern for V.
Jennie: Do you want to see your friends like this?
V: I will tell them when the right time comes.
