In the heart of the afterlife realm, Director Hong summoned Hoseok, also known as Hobi, to discuss a matter of grave importance.

Hobi, a seasoned guardian, was known for his wisdom and strength. He sat in his office, a mix of ancient and modern aesthetics, with his assistant Kai by his side. "Kai, I received a call from Director Hong. She informed me about a disturbing development in the human world,"

Hobi explained, his voice laced with concern. Kai, a bright and eager assistant, listened intently. "What kind of development, Hobi Hyung?" he inquired. Hobi continued, "There's a dark magic at work, manipulating human weaknesses to cause abnormal deaths. Souls are being captured for some nefarious ritual, aimed at gaining evil powers that could potentially disrupt the balance of our realm."

Kai's eyes widened in shock. "But how is this possible? Is there a way to stop it?" he asked, his voice tinged with worry. Hobi sighed, the weight of the situation heavy on his shoulders. "We don't have all the answers yet, Kai. But we must act swiftly and decisively. Director Hong has called for a meeting of all the teams to strategize our response."

Kai nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "What can I do to help, Hobi Hyung?" he asked, eager to assist in any way he could. Hobi placed a reassuring hand on Kai's shoulder. "For now, focus on gathering information. We need to understand the extent of this dark magic and how it's affecting the human world. We'll need all hands on deck for this."

As they prepared to leave for the meeting, Hobi and Kai shared a look of determination. The threat of dark magic loomed large, but with their skills and resolve, they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

In the ancient-themed meeting hall of the afterlife realm, Hobi entered with his usual sunshine smile, greeting everyone gathered for the meeting.

As he took his place at the large desk, the atmosphere was tense with anticipation. "Thank you all for being here. Today's meeting is of utmost importance,"

Hobi began, his tone serious. "I received a call from Director Hong regarding a dark magic that is affecting the human world, causing abnormal deaths and capturing souls for nefarious purposes."

A murmur of shock and concern rippled through the room as everyone processed this information.

Taehyung, ever observant, spoke up, recounting how he, Yeonjun, and Beomgyu had felt a dark and mysterious energy during their last task. "We were assisting a suicidal soul, and we felt this overwhelming dark presence," Taehyung explained, his voice filled with unease. "It was unlike anything we've ever encountered."

Meanwhile, Jungkook, who had also felt a similar dark energy during his team's last mission, turned to Soobin to discuss their experience with Ruka, a lost soul they had encountered. "Soobin, remember when we encountered Ruka? It felt like we were being attacked by some unseen force," Jungkook recalled, his brow furrowed in thought. Soobin nodded, his expression grave. "Yes, it was suspicious. Ruka's behavior was erratic, almost as if he was being controlled by something."

As Hobi listened to their accounts, he asked Kai to take note of everything, his mind already formulating a plan.

He then addressed the teams of Taehyung and Jungkook. "It seems like these incidents are connected. Taehyung, Jungkook, I believe your teams should work together on this," Hobi suggested, his voice firm. "We need to uncover the source of this dark magic and put an end to it before it causes more harm."

As the meeting continued, Taehyung and Jungkook couldn't help but feel a spark between them, a subtle attraction that lingered in the air. It was nothing more than a fleeting moment, but it was enough to add a layer of tension to the already charged atmosphere.

With a shared goal and a newfound alliance, the teams of Taehyung and Jungkook were ready to face the dark magic that threatened to disrupt the balance of the afterlife realm.

After the intense meeting, Taehyung and Jungkook stepped outside, both lost in their own thoughts. They were unsure of where to start or what to talk about, the tension between them palpable.

Meanwhile, Yeonjun, always the flirt, casually asked Soobin about his jacket, flirting with him shamelessly. Taehyung, embarrassed by his directness, playfully hit Yeonjun's arm to stop him from making Soobin uncomfortable. Soobin chuckled at the exchange, replying, "No problem at all."

Beomgyu, usually a loud and outgoing member of the team, found himself strangely nervous in front of Taehyun. He couldn't explain it, but Taehyun's gaze seemed to pierce right through his soul, leaving him confused and flustered.

As Taehyung and Jungkook stood together, Taehyung couldn't shake the feeling of longing he felt towards Jungkook. It was as if something had happened between them in the past, but he couldn't quite recall what. Shaking off the thoughts, he focused on the present moment.

Similarly, Jungkook felt a sudden and inexplicable pull towards Taehyung. It was a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced, a deep desire to protect Taehyung and keep him safe.

To break the awkward silence, Taehyung suggested they discuss their line of work and how they could proceed further. Jungkook agreed, suggesting they continue the conversation over lunch.
Taehyung blushed lightly at the invitation, and both teams agreed to join.

Jungkook swiftly made a phone call to a food delivery service in the afterlife realm, ordering lunch for six members.

The table was soon filled with delicious Korean dishes like bibimbap, bulgogi, and kimchi jjigae. As they sat down to eat in a private lunch hall, the atmosphere was a mix of tension and anticipation.

Taehyung looked stunning as he ate, his beauty captivating Jungkook. He couldn't help but observe Taehyung closely, his heart beating faster with each glance.

Feeling flustered under Jungkook's gaze, Taehyung looked back at him, their eyes locking for a moment.

In a bold move, Jungkook reached over and gently wiped a smudge of sauce from Taehyung's mouth with his thumb, then licked his thumb, maintaining eye contact with Taehyung.

The action left everyone at the table stunned, the tension between Taehyung and Jungkook reaching a new height.

It was a moment that would linger in their minds, a silent acknowledgment of the unspoken longing between them.
