Taehyung, an ordinary man who has battled loneliness in his past, meets a girl, Jisoo, who helps ease his solitude. However, their paths eventually separate. But fate intervenes, leading Taehyung to reunite with his past love-this time as her person...
Jisoo was busy with her photoshoot, giving her best in every pose. Each shot was a masterpiece. Meanwhile, Taehyung remained outside, his eyes scanning for any suspicious activity, his presence as her bodyguard exuding his usual dark and intimidating aura.
When the break was announced, Jisoo retreated to her changing room. Suddenly, her phone buzzed with an unknown call.
The voice on the other end was chilling, and it sent her into a panic. Without thinking, she ran out, seeking the only person who could ease her fear-Taehyung.
"Tae, Appa... he's in danger!" Jisoo stammered, her voice trembling as she clutched his arm.
"Jisoo, calm down. Tell me exactly what happened," Taehyung said softly, gently rubbing her back in an attempt to steady her.
"Appa's driver called me. He said Appa's in trouble. Tae, we have to do something. I can't lose him!" Her voice cracked, tears pooling in her eyes.
"Jisoo, listen to me," Taehyung said firmly, his tone calm but commanding. "If something serious had happened, your dad or Jin hyung would have contacted me directly. This could be a trap."
"No! I know what I heard, Tae. I heard him! Please, we need to go. I can't lose my Appa!" she pleaded, her panic overwhelming her.
Taehyung sighed, realizing she wouldn't calm down until she was assured of her father's safety. "Alright, I'll go check. But you're staying here."
"I'm coming too!" she protested stubbornly.
"Jisoo, no," Taehyung said sharply, his voice louder this time. "It's too dangerous. Stay here and wait for me."
Jisoo flinched at his tone but reluctantly nodded. She watched as he walked away, her heart heavy with fear and guilt. She tried to convince herself that Taehyung would handle everything, but her anxiety wouldn't let her rest.

Taehyung drove with a determined focus, his mind racing. He attempted to call Mr. Kim Chang II, but the line was busy. His instincts told him something was off. Suddenly, his phone rang. The caller ID was unknown.

"Hello?" Taehyung answered, his voice steady.
"Ah, Taehyung. I've been waiting to talk to you," said a cold, mocking voice.
"Who are you?" Taehyung demanded.
"Let's not rush. You'll know soon enough. Come to the abandoned building at XXX Street. Alone. If I see anyone else, I'll kill Jisoo and her father," the voice said menacingly.
Taehyung's grip on the steering wheel tightened. "If you hurt them, I swear I'll-"
"Save your threats. Just do as I say," the man interrupted before hanging up.
Taehyung clenched his jaw, his frustration mounting. He had to act quickly but carefully.
Back at the photoshoot, Jisoo finished her work, her mind plagued with worry. She tried calling Taehyung repeatedly, but there was no response. Her fear only deepened.
She decided to call her father.
"Appa! Are you okay?" she asked as soon as he picked up.
"Of course, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" her father replied, sounding amused.
Jisoo exhaled in relief, but her concern shifted to Taehyung. If her father was safe, who had called her? And where was Taehyung?
She quickly called Jin and explained everything. Jin scolded her for acting impulsively. "Jisoo, how could you believe a stranger so easily? Stay where you are. I'll handle this. And don't go anywhere without telling me."
Jisoo nodded, but her guilt was overwhelming. Her mind replayed past mistakes-her mother's accident, her decision to trust the unknown caller-and now Taehyung might be in danger because of her. As she sat lost in thought, her phone vibrated with a new message:
"Jisooshi, if you want to save your bodyguard, come to the address I sent. Alone. Don't try anything funny."
Without thinking, Jisoo grabbed her things and left, not informing anyone.
When Jisoo arrived at the abandoned building, the atmosphere was eerie. The place was shrouded in darkness, lit only by the pale glow of the moon. Her heart raced as she stepped inside.

""Jisooshi... you're here," a chilling voice echoed, making her freeze.
"Who are you? What do you want?" she shouted, trying to mask her fear.
Before she could react, someone grabbed her wrist and yanked her into a dimly lit room. The figure was masked, his presence menacing.
"How dare you yell at me, Jisooshi?" he snarled, crouching in front of her. "Don't you recognize me? I'm your lover," he said mockingly.
"What... What are you talking about?" Jisoo stammered, her voice shaking.
The man chuckled darkly, grabbing her hair and forcing her to look at him. "Don't play dumb. You rejected me twice. And yet, you chose that Taehyung. Do you think I'd let that slide?"
"Where is Taehyung? What have you done to him?" Jisoo demanded, her voice filled with desperation.
"Taehyung... Taehyung..." he spat, his tone dripping with disdain. "I'll kill him and make you watch. But first, let's play a little game."
He tightened his grip on her, causing her to wince in pain. "Do you remember your mother's accident? That was my gift to your father for crossing me. Now, it's your turn."
Jisoo's blood ran cold as the man dragged her deeper into the building.
