Taehyung stares at the text he receives. Instead of being confused, he is filled with sense of fear. His movements are very abrupt, he locks his phone and shoves it down his pocket. He does not want to see it anymore.

More puzzles are appearing in Taehyung's mind. His behavior at the moment seems like a defense mechanism that is drilled into his system and kept hidden for a very long time. As if the text is the trigger that turns it on.

His abrupt movements caught Jimin's attention, who is sitting right next to him.

"Are you okay Tae?" He asks, concerns.

"Yeah Chim. Nothing's wrong," says Taehyung. A drop of cold sweat drips down his forehead.

The sun is setting, it is almost time for dinner. Usually the group would go out to eat dinner, but everyone agreed not to do it today. They are mentally exhausted without knowing why. 

As soon as they have arrived home, Taehyung excuses himself to the bathroom. He wants to be the first to wash himself.

"Better be quick Tae, I want to throw myself to bed already," says Hoseok.

"Yes hyung! I'll be done before you know it!" Taehyung screams from the bathroom.

Meanwhile, the members are gathered in the living room to watch TV. Jungkook is holding the remote and constantly changing the channels which irritates the hyungs.

"What the hell are you doing Kook-ah, stop changing the channel!" Jin, the eldest member, is the first person to express his dissatisfaction.

"I'm not interested in any of them hyung," whines Jungkook. It seems like he is still the baby of the group after all.

"Come, give me the remote!" Jin says as he snatches the remote from Jungkook's grip.

Jin switch the channel and it lands to a breaking news.
