Was that too easy? I thought I made it difficult. 😮

Try harder next time. 😏

Puppet Master
Ah...trying to poke the proverbial bear I see. 😑
Be careful what you wish for. 😏
Anyway, good job on answering another one of my riddles correctly!
You've ✂️ two strings!
You're amazing.
Now let me...pull a few strings of my own and see what I can do for our boy. 😉

Jungkook is excited. He had let some of the other BigHit producers listen to his song, and they all had shown a great deal of interest in it.  One even said it had a huge chance of being on the next album if they could get it ready in time.

Jungkook was now practically floating on cloud nine. As he walks down the hall towards the elevator, he sees Taehyung coming towards him.

"Oooohhhhh, JK!" laughs Taehyung.  "You're the talk of the company right now!"  Taehyung claps his hands on Jungkook's shoulders and smiles proudly.

Jungkook smiles, shyly rubbing the tip of his nose. He had never been comfortable with compliments, but his smile stays beaming on his blushing face.  "Ah, I just hope it works out okay."

"It will! I heard a bit of it earlier. It's a good one. You're going to give me some good parts in it, aren't you?  That is, if it makes the cut?" Taehyung wiggles his eyebrows up and down, making Jungkook giggle.

"Sure, hyung, sure."  The elevator doors open and Jungkook moves to step inside. "Coming, hyung?"

"Ah...no. Not yet. Waiting for Jimin." Taehyung gives him a small salute and waves as the doors slide closed.

Jungkook watches Taehyung disappear and then sighs contentedly, pressing the button for the ground floor. How many more things could go right for him today? First, he had written a great song, even if he couldn't remember doing it. His head tilts slightly as he struggles to remember doing it, but he brushes away the doubtful thoughts.

Secondly, the producers all love his new song. He has never felt so lucky as he does right now. The only thing that would make this day better would be a good dinner. Pizza sounds nice.

Someone was quick to leak a rumor that Jungkook's new song could possibly be on the next album. It takes you a bit to dig up some more info, but your Twitter finally lights up with the news.

Your eyes pop open wide. Could it? It must be a fantastic song. You smile proudly. You still have your doubts about this being the work of the Puppet Master though. However, it did seem like that, whenever you got one of their questions right, something good came out about Jungkook. You feel a swell of pride that your favorite BTS member is doing so well. 

Then you frown a bit as you look at your messages to and from the Puppet Master. You had told them to try harder and they seemed to take it as a challenge. The previous two questions had been easily solved, but who knows what else this creeper could have up their sleeve?

Maybe you should stop playing the game. Quit while you're ahead, so to speak. However, the little thought that maybe you could help Jungkook's career if you just answered a few more questions right, keeps niggling in the back of your mind.
