In the middle of the night, with no one but silence under the bright full moon, a figure of a man was walking covered in a black thick coat. His hands in his pocket because of the cold air passing him, he stood up beside a person leaning on a railing by the river.

"You made it without waking Noona? That's odd. She usually noticed even small steps" the guy said, his back leaning against the railings.

"I didn't expect you would actually come" the other guy in a padded jacket spoke. His eyes are closed and not even bothered by the cold. "I guess you don't know me"

Letting out a lot of air through his nose, the blond-haired guy was facing his left side against the direction of the wind. "...Taehyung didn't tell me about you. I never thought he has this kind of plan."

"Huh-"

"I'll go back now, I was actually just walking around, needing some fresh air, and just saw you here. You should also head back now before Noona finds out you were not by her side."

"Jiminssi-"

"Ah what am I doing, it's so dark. See ya!" Jimin turned his back against V and started running with his hand waving in the air.

"But... he's going in the wrong way?" V asked himself. He went back to watching the river covered by the dark and later decided to went back home after minutes.

Jimin saw a bench and instantly went to sit and took a break from running. "I'm glad you made it. I really thought you couldn't make it because probably you're wasted now."

Jimin with his heavy breaths changed his gaze to the side and saw a man walking in his direction. He was covered all in black with a cap that hides his face.

"You don't know how I tried to stop myself from drinking too much..."

The guy sat beside Jimin with his hands still in his pockets, he handed Jimin a piece of paper.

"If that's still about the necklace you were talking about then you're insane. You don't even have proof."

The guy beside Jimin let out a sigh and stood up. Jimin looked up at him confused. "You're leaving already? I just got here?"

"Why don't you ask Mrs. Kim, Taehyung's mother. Her son is the proof." the guy said that made Jimin stand up. "What do you mean? Are you saying Soogun is the reason why Taehyung is still not waking up?!" Jimin asked.

"Guess I underestimate you. You're smarter than I thought, Jimin." the guy took his hat off and stared at Jimin, they're just a meter apart.

"Don't bullshit me with your stupid stories Choi Jisoo and answer me."

"If only I have the necklace Park Jimin...I heard it can see the future," she said with a smirk on her face, and Jimin didn't like it. It annoyed him.

"Still disguising, huh? You're supposed to be dead now" Jimin said with no emotions.

The girl that was covered in all black keep teasing Jimin and moved closer to him. "Say what you want, Chim. But let me tell you this. Taehyung's life and your girl's life is now at the hand of that necklace."

Jisoo loved the way Jimin changed his reaction after she said that and realized one thing. "Oops, I mean Taehyung's girl...not yours."

Jimin just stared at Jisoo's back facing him as she walked away. His hands clenched in a fist and noticed the paper Jisoo purposely left on the bench. Jimin took the paper and started walking his way home.

Jimin silently opened the door and was welcomed with Taehyung drinking coffee. "Where were you? How did I get back home first?" Taehyung asked.

Jimin just laughed and went to the refrigerator and got himself a drink. "I was lost..."

"Yeah, I saw you"

"You saw me?"

"I saw you running on the wrong side, looking stupid," Tae said before picking a food somewhere near him and found chips.

"Oh... yeah of course. But Tae, do you believe in magic?" Jimin asked faintly.

Taehyung was focused on his chips and looked up to see Jimin fell asleep on the table. He raised both of his eyebrows and tilted his head as he asked Jimin what he means.

"Hey, I'm asking" Taehyung sighed in surrender for talking the older and helped Jimin to his room.

"Oh? Taehyung-ah, you're still up?" Seokjin saw Taehyung from Jimin and Jeongguk's room. "Hyung? Oh, I was just helping Jimin. He passed out"

The eldest rubbing the bridge of his nose thinking how these kids really decided to get drunk in this hour. "Jimin? Ugh, I'll really kick Namjun's ass. He just cried out of nowhere and now he wanted to drink another-"

"Good night, hyung" Taehyung quickly said and went to their room just beside Jimin's. Seokjin wouldn't stop ranting and doesn't really want to be interrupted so he ran on his way to their room.

"What's with him?" Jin asked himself and went to where Namjun was crying nonstop.

"Namjunah-"

"I saw a stealer earlier," Namjun said as he gulped down his drink. Jin was just looking at him and also decided to have a drink with his drama. "Stealer? What's a stealer? But I saw a robber- Oh yeah a robber, hyung!"

Joon was talking to himself and the eldest just let him. This was his second time dealing with this drunk man and not in his mind.

"He was wearing black but I didn't see him holding anything. Just walking out with his hands in his pocket."

"Who would steal something here aside from my face. They could have just told-"

"What should I do? Hyung she's mad at me but you see this watch she got me, it's so pretty- Hyung" Seokjin just had enough dealing with this man and now he cried again. He still stayed hours with him and took care of him.

"Maybe he was talking about Jimin? He was wearing black." Jin whispered, seeing the state of his friend sleeping on the table and still holding a can of alcohol.

Just as he helped Namjun standing up, he suddenly fell on the floor, and his hand quickly closed in a fist. Jin placed Namjun's hand around his shoulder and held the waist of the younger as they walked to their room.

"Ah, this guy is so heavy! Just wait in the morning I will really beat your ass!"

Jin went outside with his phone finding a person in his contacts after helping Namjun to their room. "Mama..."

"I'm sorry I missed your call, what happened?" Jin went to the kitchen and as he knew everyone is sleeping, he unlocked a door behind the displayed cabinet. Everyone will assume there are plates and mugs inside as it was like a picture outside.

No one will know since it looks real and deceitful.

[Taehyung...who is that guy with the same face as Taehyung?]

"You knew?" Jin asked but not surprised knowing she stood as their mother for 10 years already.

[I know my children, my dear. Now, who is that?]

"We don't know his name yet, mama but Soogun, I think she knows." Jin sat in his office chair as he stared at the picture frame on his desk, it was them. He and his friends together took this photo as they reached their 7th year of friendship.

He heard his mother sighed and left silent for a minute before hearing her voice again. [I found Taehyung. Looks like I found him first before Soogun.]

"Wait what?! The real Taehyung? and Soogun?"

Jin immediately opened his laptop as his mom says. He received a message from his mom and opened the mail. There was a link inside.

[She was looking for him for a year now. Didn't she tell you?]
