The day had been, to put it mildly, chaotic. Jin Ahri wasn't entirely sure how she ended up stumbling through yet another dusty hallway in an ancient palace with three devastatingly handsome men, all while wondering if she'd ever see her favorite coffee shop again.

Jin Ahri (thinking to herself): "I didn't sign up for this. I just wanted to study history, not live it."

Jungkook (whispering, overly serious as always): "Stay close. We don't know what dangers lie ahead."

Jin Ahri rolled her eyes. Dangers? Sure, they were lurking everywhere, but that wasn't her main problem. Her main problem was figuring out if there was any chance she could find a portal back to the future before she got further sucked into this medieval rom-com of a mess. She loved her new squad, but the idea of seeing a smartphone again? Tempting.

Jin Ahri (aloud, half to herself): "Is it too much to ask for a map back home? Maybe an ancient GPS?"

Seokjin, ever the smooth-talker, smirked as he glanced at her. "What's a GPS?"

Jin Ahri sighed. "Exactly. Never mind."

The four of them came to a halt in front of a massive, intricately carved stone door. "This has to be it," Jungkook said, eyeing the symbols with suspicion. "The hidden chamber."

Jimin (leaning closer to Jin Ahri): "Or it's just another room full of dusty scrolls that Seokjin will 'accidentally' knock over." He winked, earning a glare from Seokjin.

Seokjin (defensive): "Hey, I'm graceful! Those scrolls just got in my way last time."

Jin Ahri laughed, but her nerves were starting to get to her. Hidden chamber or not, she was itching to find some clue that would lead her back to the present. Preferably before she fell any deeper into this tangled mess of swords, conspiracies, and... feelings? Oh no, definitely not feelings.

Jin Ahri (thinking): "I mean, sure, Jungkook's ridiculously hot, but I need Wi-Fi. And Jimin's smile is cute, but what I really want is a hot shower. And okay, Seokjin's eyes are... wow, but—ugh, focus, girl!"

Jungkook, ever the serious leader, placed his hand on the door and, with one swift motion, pushed it open. The creak echoed through the hallway as they stepped into the dark, candle-lit chamber.

Jin Ahri (muttering): "Yep. Definitely haunted."

The chamber was full of ancient artifacts, maps, and scrolls. Jungkook walked ahead, examining the contents with an intense, brooding expression that somehow made him look even more attractive. Why did danger and candlelight always have this effect on him? Unfair.

Jungkook (seriously): "This could be it. The information we need to stop Kaito and Yumi."

Jin Ahri (sighing dramatically): "That's great and all, but does any of this tell me how to get back to 2023?"

Seokjin, picking up an ancient map and squinting at it, grinned. "You're still thinking about your time, aren't you?"

Jin Ahri (sarcastic): "Oh, no. I love wandering around ancient Korea in sandals and dodging assassins. It's my dream vacation."

Jimin (with a sly smile): "I think you're just worried you'll miss us too much if you go back."

Jin Ahri rolled her eyes but felt the heat rise in her cheeks. **"Sure, Jimin. That's exactly it. It's not like I have electricity and running water to return to."

Jungkook glanced back at her, his gaze more intense than usual. "If we find a way to send you back, will you take it?"

There was a seriousness in his tone that made Jin Ahri pause. Would she? She opened her mouth to answer, but Seokjin, clearly feeling the tension, interjected with a smirk.

Seokjin (teasing): "Come on, Jungkook. She's not leaving until she's mastered the art of sword fighting and made us all look bad."

Jin Ahri (grinning): "Exactly! Plus, I need to teach you guys some modern moves. What's the point of learning martial arts if I can't impress anyone back in the future?"

The sarcasm earned her a chuckle from Jimin and a soft smile from Jungkook, though his eyes remained serious. Jin Ahri couldn't help but feel a little twist in her gut. The three of them were beginning to grow on her. And that was dangerous. The last thing she needed was to get attached—especially since her heart had already been pulled in three different directions.

As they spread out to search the room for clues about the villains' plans, Jimin sidled up to her, bumping her shoulder lightly. "Hey, if we find some ancient artifact that can send you back, I'll be the first to help you use it."

Jin Ahri shot him a sideways glance. "But...?"

Jimin (grinning): "But I wouldn't mind if you stuck around a little longer. Just saying."

Jin Ahri laughed, but there was an edge to his voice she hadn't expected. Before she could respond, Jungkook called out.

Jungkook (seriously): "I found something."

The group gathered around him as he unrolled a scroll covered in cryptic symbols. Jungkook's expression darkened. **"This is a map to Kaito's stronghold. If we're going to stop them, this is our chance."

Jin Ahri felt a mix of excitement and dread. They were getting closer to unraveling the villains' plans, but with every step forward, her path back home seemed to slip further away. She stared at the map, then back at Jungkook, Seokjin, and Jimin. The thought of leaving them behind, after everything they'd been through, was more complicated than she wanted to admit.

As they began discussing their next move, Jimin leaned in close to her, his voice low. **"You know... if you do find your way back home, don't forget us, okay?"

Jin Ahri chuckled, trying to keep things light. "I'm pretty sure forgetting three swordsmen with trust issues and killer looks isn't something that happens easily."

But beneath her humor, she could feel the tension rising. Jimin's near confession hung between them, unspoken but loud in its implications. And Jungkook's eyes kept flicking toward her, as if he, too, had something more to say but was holding back.

Jin Ahri (thinking to herself): "This is exactly why I need to get back home. Time-traveling love triangles are not what I signed up for."

Seokjin, oblivious to the emotional turmoil brewing, suddenly perked up as he examined a corner of the chamber.

Seokjin (excited): "Hey, guys, what's this?"

In the corner, tucked beneath a pile of ancient scrolls, was something completely out of place—a sleek, modern object that glinted in the low light.

Jin Ahri (gasping): "My iPod!"

She lunged for it, practically knocking Seokjin out of the way. The sight of her iPod, still intact and charged (because plot magic), was enough to make her heart skip a beat.

Jungkook (raising an eyebrow): "What is that?"

Jin Ahri (grinning): "Only the most important artifact in this room. It plays music. From my time."

The three men stared at her, fascinated. She scrolled through her playlist and hit play, filling the ancient chamber with the upbeat sounds of modern pop.

Jimin (laughing): "So this is what the future sounds like?"

Jin Ahri (teasing): "Yep. And you guys have no idea what you're missing."

As the music played, Jin Ahri couldn't help but feel a strange sense of contentment. For now, she was stuck in this time—caught between duty, danger, and three overly attractive warriors—but maybe, just maybe, that wasn't the worst thing in the world.

At least until someone inevitably tried to kill them again.

Author's Note:

Well, that escalated quickly, didn't it? One minute Jin Ahri is searching for ancient secrets, and the next, she's reunited with her iPod like it's the ultimate relic of the future (let's be honest, it kinda is). I mean, nothing says "I'm from the future" like introducing three noble warriors to modern pop music. Jungkook's face during that scene? Priceless.

Also, let's take a moment to appreciate the chaos of our love triangle in the middle of an ancient conspiracy. Because nothing says romance like dodging assassins and trying not to accidentally fall for three different guys. Ah, the struggles of time travel, am I right?

Until next time, remember: always check under ancient scrolls for lost electronics. 

You never know when your playlist might just save the day. 😎🎧
