📖 Chapter 1: Cell 17-B
A dimly lit, sterile underground cell. Cold metal walls. Surveillance cameras blink silently. Teenagers in black uniforms are huddled in silence. Among them, two boys—one with fiery eyes and another with a haunting calmness—sit back-to-back.
[Taehyung, whispering softly as he writes notes in a small hidden notebook]
TaeTae
Tae (Age 10 years): "They taught us blood heals… but they never said whose pain it costs."
[Jungkook, quietly doing push-ups beside him]
kookie
JK ( Age 13 years): "Pain is the only language they respect. You either learn to speak it… or you disappear."
[Tae closes his notebook, voice trembling slightly]
TaeTae
Do you think we’ll ever get out of here?
kookie
[Jungkook stops mid-push-up, eyes hardening]
We will. Not as subjects. Not as experiments. As who we really are.
Guard
[Guard voice echoes outside the cell]
Subject 0317 and 0318. Arena testing. Now.”
[Jungkook offers his hand to Taehyung, who hesitates only a second before gripping it tightly.]
kookie
(soft but deadly), Never did. Never will.
