You and Jungkook stood at the entrance of a maze, its walls shimmering and shifting like liquid metal. The air was thick with tension and the faint purr of distant machinery.

"I hate these mind games," you muttered, eyeing the maze warily.

"Funny, I thought hackers liked a challenge," Jungkook quipped, studying the ever-changing layout.

"We do. But I prefer the kind where I can sit comfortably with a cup of coffee, not dodge deadly traps," you replied, rolling your eyes.

"Noted," Jungkook said with a smirk. "Shall we?"

You sighed internally. Of all the people to be trapped with, it had to be Mr. Perfect Hair and Perfect Jawline. It didn't help that he looked ridiculously attractive even in this digital nightmare.

Focus, y/n, focus.

You stepped into the maze together, the walls shifting as if responding to your presence. As soon as you entered, a series of laser grids flickered to life, blocking your path.

"We need to time this perfectly," Jungkook said, watching the lasers carefully.

You nodded, the cogs in your brain turning. "I'll go first. Just... try not to get distracted by my amazing acrobatics."

Jungkook chuckled. "I'll do my best."

You took a deep breath and darted through the grid, twisting and turning to avoid the beams. You landed on the other side, breathing hard but unharmed. "Your turn, Pretty Boy."

Jungkook followed, his movements smooth and precise. He joined you with a grin. "Impressive moves. For a hacker."

You smirked. "You weren't too shabby yourself."

You continued through the maze when suddenly, the ground gave way. You stepped on what you thought was a solid tile, but it shifted beneath your foot, and you felt yourself plummeting. Panic surged through you as you scrabbled for something to hold onto.

"Gotcha!" Jungkook's strong hand wrapped around your wrist, pulling you back from the brink. With a powerful yank, he lifted you up, and you both stumbled backward. You landed on top of Jungkook, your faces inches apart, your chest heaving from the close call.

Time seemed to freeze. You found yourself staring into his eyes, noticing for the first time how deep and dark they were.

Damn it, why does he have to be so hot? And why do I have to like it?

"You okay?" Jungkook asked softly, his breath warm against your face.

"Y-yeah," you stammered, quickly getting up. "Thanks. Really."

"Anytime," he replied, a hint of something unreadable in his eyes as he stood up.

You kept walking further, your steps more cautious now. At last, you reached the center, where a glowing pedestal awaited. A shimmering orb hovered above it, pulsing with an eerie light.

"Well, well," you said, eyeing the orb. "Do we need to weigh it down with a bag of sand or something? Should I call you Indiana or Starlord?"

Jungkook smirked. "Call me whatever gets us out of here. Let's just hope we don't unleash a giant boulder."

You lifted the orb carefully, feeling its weight. "This has to be the key to our escape."

"Agreed," Jungkook said. "Let's move before this place decides to squish us."

As soon as he said that, the chamber began to shake, the walls shifting menacingly. Jungkook grabbed your hand, and a jolt of electricity seemed to pass between you where your skin touched. You felt your heart skip a beat.

Focus, y/n, not the time.

You raced through the remainder of the maze, the orb in hand. The walls continued to shift, forcing you to navigate new obstacles.

"Straight ahead! Then right!" you shouted, guiding Jungkook as you narrowly avoided traps and collapsing pathways.

You reached a large, ornate door with a glowing lock. You quickly inserted the orb into the lock, and it clicked open with a satisfying sound. You pushed through, the door closing behind you, sealing you off from the dangers of the maze.

Breathing heavily, you found yourselves in complete darkness. The only sound was your ragged breathing, mingled with the faint thrum of the walls.

"Nice work," Jungkook said quietly. "We make a good team."

You smirked, even though he couldn't see it. "Yeah, we do. For now." you quoted his own words.

The darkness enveloped you.
