The Hunters and their Prey || A Vhope story

Let the hunt begin...

"Aaaah........please don't call me for another work today...I want to sleep." yoongi said by stretching himself. They were back in their mansion, sprawled across the couches with no worries. Someone from outside may see it simply as a group of harmless friendly men relaxing after a very long day of work. Everyone was there except Namjoon who went straight to his room. It was usual for Namjoon to be a little bit silent after a mission. Especially this one was a little rough on him considering who Mark was for him. Jin was worried about his brother and kept on glancing towards Namjoon's room. All of the rest was relaxing except Jimin. He felt like he left something unfinished...he stared at the floor and kept on fiddling with his not so clear thoughts.

"What are you thinking, Jimin?" V asked after eying his bestfriend for a while.

"Are you sure that there were no one left in the studio?" he suddenly asked Jungkook, who was stuffing chips in his mouth.

"Yes..the classes were over around 6 in the evening, and we entered the studio at 10. Who will be there other than him?"

"Did you cross-check the CCTV?"

"He doesn't have one in front of the entrance. So we can't cross-check. Also, no one came in after the students left; I am sure of that. Why are you asking about it?"

"Now when I think back, there is something unsettling about the showers.. the floor of one stall was wet, and the walls were misty like someone showered there just before we come."

"It must be Mark." Jungkook said reassuringly.

"No..mark was sweating, and his hair was dry. It means that he didn't take a shower."

"But you saw no one, right?" V asked Jimin.

"No one was there ..but there was a cupboard above the stalls. Someone who is average in size can hide there."

"Yaa...who will climb into there and perfectly hide inside it within such a short period of time?" Jin said with a not so convincing voice. Even he started to feel uneasy about the whole situation. It is a fact that they were a little bit careless during this mission since the opponent is so insignificant and powerless compared to their usual dealings.

"I don't know...I am not feeling right."

"Don't overthink, there was no one." Jungkook assured him...

Suddenly they heard a loud bang from Namjoon's room. And the next thing they saw was an angry Namjoon rushing out of the room.

"I just received a call from the police station."

There was no need for an explanation...everyone understood why.

"There was someone inside the shower..."Jimin whispered.

"We have to kill that person before the police get there." V said after a short silence.

"No point..they are already moving to the studio. We will be late." Namjoon said.

"Still, we have to go. I want to see that rat's face." Jungkook said. He was feeling outraged. He knew that it was his mistake. He must have checked one more time.

"let's go."

---------------------------------

Hope was sitting near the floor...he felt so cold. His eyes were red because of the crying, and tears were flowing endlessly. Everything felt like in a daze...he can't even properly remember how the police came in and how they drag him out of his hiding place and how they seated him near the floor. Once his eyes got stuck in the body lying in front of him...he couldn't look anywhere else. He kept on staring at his Mark. Police were taking photos and marking all the evidences they can find. Hope managed to tell them what happened after a lot of questioning and stuttering. He was so shaken...the man whom he considered as his brother..who was laughing with him just hours ago was now dead...DEAD!!!!! That word suddenly felt so heavy for him...like a stone in his heart...he doesn't want to stay there...he can't. His hands were still shaking from what he saw moments ago. How can someone kill a person like this...without even batting an eye?
