Mr. Prof

I will help readers to understand technical words. At your service.

Mr. Prof

ENCRYPTED : To put information into a special form (code) especially in order to stop people being able to look at or understand it

START

A ping pops on Taehyung's screen

SYSTEM

[System Notification] 🔐 Secure Line Connected... Unknown contact attempting live chat connection.

Jungkook

> Didn’t expect you to respond.

Taehyung

> I didn’t. You forced your way in. Three firewalls down. That’s not responding — that’s trespassing.

Mr. Prof

FIREWALL is a network security device that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on pre-defined security rules. It acts as a gatekeeper, protecting a network from unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and malicious code.

Taehyung

*Swipes through his monitor logs. The pattern’s familiar — too clean, too fast. His fingers freeze when he sees the code signature.*

Jungkook

> You upgraded the lock. Impressive. But predictable.

Taehyung

> Predict this — if you touch my system again, I’ll crash your signal and bury it so deep the dark web won’t find it. Who are you really?

Mr. Prof

DARK WEB is a hidden part of the internet. It's often associated with illegal activities.

Jungkook

> You already know. Check Port 7.

Taehyung

*Quickly types into his console. His screen flashes green — a trace confirmed. The code-name matches. His stomach twists*

SYSTEM

Ping pops on Taehyung's screen 👇🏻

SYSTEM

[Trace Confirmed] Alias: Jungkook Status: Ex-Agent. Marked rogue. Former Intelligence Division. Last seen: Redacted.

Taehyung

> No. You don’t get to just show up. Not after what your people did. Not after what I lost.

Jungkook

> I’m not here to argue. Someone got inside your system last night. Not me. Not anyone from the old files. Someone worse.

Taehyung

> You think you can just play the hero now? I don’t need saving. Especially not from you.

Jungkook

> I know. But it’s not about saving you. It’s about THE CIPHER. They’re watching both of us now.

Taehyung

*Taehyung freezes*

CIPHER.... That name again. Tae hasn’t heard it in years — not out loud. Not from anyone alive.

Taehyung

> Don’t say that name like you know him. You don’t know what he took from me.

Jungkook

> I do. Maybe more than you realize. That’s why I came back.

SYSTEM

> [System Alert] 📥 New file received — source unknown File partially damaged “Two shadows in the dark. One will blind. One will burn.” //CipherWasHere

SYSTEM

Taehyung

> … This isn’t over. Stay out of my system, rogue. Or next time, I won’t just trace you Jungkook— I’ll take you down.

Jungkook

> You can try. But you already opened the door.

SYSTEM

> [Connection Terminated] Session closed. Line encrypted again.

Coming Up in Episode 2: Taehyung digs through his private backup folder and finds a hidden message — one he never wrote. Someone’s been in his past… and left a clue he can’t ignore.

Thank you.
