(Seoul, Korea - 12:30 AM KST)

Taehyung's private jet soared through the night sky, its occupants fast asleep. But Taehyung's mind was still racing, his thoughts consumed by Y/N.

(Paris, France - 5:30 PM CET)

Y/N and Jennie strolled through the charming streets of Montmartre, arm in arm. They chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company.

As they walked, Jennie suddenly stopped in front of a quaint little café. "Let's grab some coffee, Y/N!" she exclaimed.

Y/N smiled, and together they pushed open the door, stepping into the warm and cozy atmosphere within.

Little did Y/N know, Taehyung's jet was closing in on Paris, and he was more determined than ever to find her.

(Paris, France - 6:00 PM CET)

As they sipped their coffee, Jennie couldn't help but notice the far-off look in Y/N's eyes. "Hey, what's wrong?" she asked, concern etched on her face.

Y/N hesitated, unsure of how to answer. She had been feeling a sense of unease all day, as if she was being watched. But she didn't want to alarm Jennie.

Just then, Jennie's phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and frowned. "What's going on?" she muttered.

Y/N's curiosity was piqued. "What is it?" she asked.

Jennie's eyes locked onto hers. "I have a friend who works at the airport. She just sent me a text... Taehyung's private jet just landed."

Y/N's heart skipped a beat. He was here.

But how did he find her?

And what did he want now?

Y/N's eyes widened in alarm as she grasped the implications. "We have to get out of here, now!" she whispered urgently to Jennie.

Jennie nodded, already scanning the café for potential exits. "Follow me!" she whispered, grabbing Y/N's hand.

They quickly paid the bill and slipped out of the café, merging into the crowded streets of Montmartre. Y/N's heart was racing as she glanced over her shoulder, half-expecting to see Taehyung's imposing figure emerging from the shadows.

But the streets were chaotic, filled with tourists and street performers. Y/N and Jennie blended in seamlessly, their faces lost in the sea of strangers.

As they walked, Y/N's phone buzzed in her pocket. She hesitated, wondering if she should answer it.

"Who is it?" Jennie asked, noticing Y/N's hesitation.

Y/N pulled out her phone and glanced at the screen. An unknown number flashed on the display.

Y/N's heart skipped a beat as she hesitated. Something about the unknown number sent a shiver down her spine.

"Should I answer it?" Y/N asked Jennie, her voice barely above a whisper.

Jennie's eyes narrowed. "No, don't answer it. Let's just get out of here."

Y/N's fingers trembled as she hesitated, her thumb hovering over the "decline" button. Something about the unknown number seemed ominous, as if the caller knew exactly where she was.

Jennie's grip on her arm tightened. "Come on, Y/N, let's go!" she urged, tugging her away from the curb.

But Y/N's curiosity got the better of her. She swiped her thumb across the screen, answering the call.

The line crackled to life, and a low, husky voice spoke on the other end. "Hello, Y/N."

Y/N's heart skipped a beat. "Who is this?" she demanded, trying to keep her voice steady.

There was a pause, and for a moment, Y/N wondered if the caller had hung up. But then the voice spoke again.

"You know exactly who this is."

Taehyung's eyes closed, his fingers tightening around the phone as he savored the sound of Y/N's voice. It had been months since he'd last heard her speak, and the familiarity of her tone was like a balm to his soul.

He felt his chest expand, his heart swelling with emotion. Heaven. This was heaven.

For a moment, he forgot about the anger, the hurt, and the betrayal. All he could think about was the woman on the other end of the line, the woman who had captivated him body and soul.

"Y/N," he whispered, his voice barely audible.

There was a pause, and Taehyung's eyes snapped open. Had he lost her?

But then Y/N's voice came through the line again, her words laced with wariness. "What do you want, Taehyung?"

Taehyung's smile was a slow, predatory curve. "I want you," he said, his voice low and husky.

Y/N's eyes flashed with anger as Taehyung's words dripped with condescension. She felt a surge of hatred towards him, her fingers trembling with rage.

Jennie's grip on her arm tightened, her eyes wide with concern. "Y/N, hang up!" she mouthed.

Y/N didn't hesitate. With a swift motion, she hung up the phone, her chest heaving with anger.

"What did he say?" Jennie asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Y/N's eyes blazed with fury. "He's looking for me. But I'll never go back to him."

Jennie's eyes locked onto Y/N's. "I think we're being followed," she whispered, her voice trembling.

Y/N's instincts kicked in, and she quickly scanned their surroundings. The alleyway was narrow, with tall buildings looming on either side. It was the perfect place for an ambush.

Without hesitation, Y/N grabbed Jennie's hand, and they took off in a sprint, weaving through the crowded streets of Paris.

They dodged pedestrians and market stalls, their footsteps echoing off the buildings. Y/N's heart pounded in her chest as she glanced over her shoulder, expecting to see Taehyung's men closing in.

Jennie suddenly grabbed her arm, her eyes wide with fear. "In here!" she whispered, pulling Y/N into a nearby antique shop.

The bell above the door jingled as they slipped inside, and Y/N's eyes adjusted to the dim light. The shop was a maze of narrow aisles and crowded shelves, the air thick with dust and secrets.

Y/N's heart still racing, she peered through the window, watching as Taehyung appeared on the sidewalk outside, his eyes scanning the street with an unnerving intensity.

Y/N's heart skipped a beat as Taehyung's eyes locked onto the antique shop. He took a step closer, his gaze burning with an unnerving intensity.

Jennie grabbed Y/N's arm, her voice barely audible. "Hide!"

They dove behind a nearby shelf, Y/N's heart racing as she peeked through a narrow gap. Taehyung's face appeared in the window, his eyes scanning the shop with a calculating gaze.

Y/N held her breath, her body pressed against Jennie's as they hid in silence, waiting for Taehyung to make his next move.
