The Books

Yoongi entered the café with a satisfied glint in his eyes. When he saw the other members his happiness arose.

They had taken sides while he was out. Namjoon and Jungkook were arguing with Jimin and Hoseok, who were defending Taehyung. Seokjin was reading the paper, glancing up at the others with worry every now and then.

"You saw the evidence!" Jungkook yelled. "Don't deny it!"

"I'm sure there is an explanation for it." Hoseok replied in a shaky tone.

"What about the books then, huh Jimin? Those books on acting, and then the one where the car drove off the cliff?"

Namjoon quickly turned to look at the maknae, "Books? What books?"

"Jimin found two books under their bunk." Jungkook said sending a glare at Jimin. "One was from the library and was about acting. Now we all know Taehyung enjoys theater, but what if he was using tips from the book? Like how to fool people like.... like pretending you're sick!"

Seokjin and Hoseok let out a gasp as their eyes widened. "B-but Hitman Bang confirmed he wasn't feeling well." Hoseok protested.

"Did he feel his forehead? Did he take his temperature? No he didn't! He trusted Taehyung when he said he was sick! There are ways to look ill. Jungkook reasoned, crossing his arms. And don't forget we all know he has a gravelly voice in the morning. He just exaggerated it."

Jin seemed to be pondering on something, so Jungkook continued. "There was another book too. The image on the cover was faded, but you could still see it. There was a car in a thunderstorm, driving off a cliff! Now that is just a coincidence? No! Because here we are! He yelled gesturing at his ghostly form.

"Looks like he has some points, Yoongi said to fill the silence that followed.

Seokjin looked up from the counter he was staring at, "Where have you been" Gguk returned alone."

"Making sure little Tae got my message." Yoongi said sinking on the bar stool.

"Hyung," Jimin started, pointing a shaky finger at him. "W-what did you do to him?"

A sly grin crossed his face. "Oh, not much. Just scared him sick. He's in the vandalized bathroom now, throwing up his guts."

Jimin marched over to him in rage, noses almost touching with the rapper. "Yoongi how could you?!"

"How could I not?" Yoongi replied as he got up, making the younger take a step back. "That punk needs to be taught a lesson. Jungkook and I gave him one that he'll never forget. I he does, I'll beat the shit out of him."

"Alright that's enough," Namjoon said, walking over and separating them. "What we need to do is figure out a way to talk to Taehyung. Get him to confess his wrongdoings."

"We can't talk to him!" Jimin said on the verge of tears. "I've tried!"

"I got him to listen," Yoongi said coldly, as if it was nothing.

Hoseok raised an eyebrow at him, "How?"

"I'm not saying."

The sunshine man looked like he was ready to floor him, but Jin out a hand on his shoulder and sent him a look. "We'll all find a way to talk to Tae. Yoongi can keep his secrets."

Jimin scrunched his face up in determination, head held high, "I'll find a way. I'm not believing this until I hear it from him myself."

"Good luck," He muttered walking away, whilst shrugging his shoulders.
