Fractured Obsession Chapter 1

Chapter 1

[Scene 1: The City of ECLIPSE]

The world isn't dead. But it's not alive either. Eclipse, a city draped in neon and decay, thrives in the space between—where human souls can be extracted, sold, and erased. Where the rich own eternity, and the poor sell their bodies for a second chance. Love is outlawed. Emotions are a commodity. And somewhere in this void, two souls are about to collide.

Unknown1

Eclipse has a new ghost

Yoongi

Define "ghost."

Unknown1

Unregistered entity. No digital footprint. No records. Nothing.

Jackson

Another glitch in the system? Seen this before. Just a lost memory fragment.

Namjoon

Not this time. This one is breathing

Hoesok

…You’re saying a real person doesn’t exist?

Unknown1

No. I’m saying he shouldn’t exist

Jungkook

Name?

Unknown1

They're calling him "V"

[Scene 2: A Chance Encounter]

(The rain never really stops in Eclipse. It only shifts—falling in streaks of cold neon light, bathing the streets in a haunting glow. In a back alley, lined with the smell of rusted metal and burning circuits, a man moves like he belongs nowhere and everywhere at once.)

Jungkook (typing...)

Jungkook

Who are you?

(V) (typing…)

You don’t want to know

Jungkook

I think I do.

Then you’re already doomed

(Jungkook shouldn't care. He doesn’t chase ghosts. He erases them. But something about the way Taehyung moves, the way his presence disrupts the very code of the city, tells him this is no ordinary encounter. It’s a glitch in the system. A dangerous one.)

And Jungkook has never been able to resist a broken thing.
