Jungkook PoV

Jimin runs off with Taehyung following behind him.

I'm beginning to suspect Jimin now. It's like he's trying to prevent us from finding clues and investigating further.

It's probably best to leave him to Taehyung now as they know each other best.

"Yoongi, Hoseok, Jungkook, can you guys please stay far away from Jimin?", Namjoon asks.

"Why?", Yoongi asks back.

"Because... he's acting unusual."

"So what you're saying is that you're suspecting him, right?", Hoseok adds.

"I am. Why would he want the ring back? Doesn't he want to find out who murdered Jin hyung... unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless Jimin murdered him".

We all let out a gasp.

"You don't think... Jimin... he'd never", Hoseok says, tears forming in his eyes.

"Look, I'm not saying it's for definite but he's definitely acting strange. I don't even like the thought of Taehyung being alone with him right now".

So Namjoon also suspects Jimin which is reasonable but would he actually murder Seokjin hyung?

If I had the murderer role, I think that I would just come clean. But... if there is no murder then there is nothing to guess. That would mean death for all of us.

Oh Jimin hyung, please tell me you never murdered Seokjin hyung.

"Yoongi hyung, can you please come with me ?", Namjoon asks.

"Sure but why me?"

"I need your help."

"Alright, alright. Lead the way", Yoongi says following Namjoon who exits the kitchen.

Once they both left, Hoseok asks me a question.

"Jungkook... do you think Jimin did it?"

"Honest answer or not?"

"Please Jungkook".

"Hoseok hyung, I can't say whether he did or he didn't but we cannot deny that he is not acting like his usual self. It's definitely suspicious".

"Right, I'll do it", Hoseok says with determination in his eyes.

"Do what?"

Hoseok walked out of the kitchen, ignoring my question. With worry, I follow him.

I also don't exactly want to be alone right now, especially not in the kitchen besides the pantry with Seokjin's lifeless corpse.

Hoseok starts to quickly run into the living room, where the board game sat.

"I want to make a guess", Hoseok exclaims.

What? What is he doing? Doesn't he know that if you guess incorrectly you die?

There isn't enough evidence to go off of yet.

"Hoseok hyung, don't-"

"Jungkook, this is my way of proving to guys that Jimin is innocent. He could never hurt a fly let alone his precious Seokjin hyung".

Hoseok begins to cry.

"I hate whenever we doubt each other. We're a family. Families don't doubt each other. And if I am correct that means this stupid killing game will end and stop tearing us apart. Just a few hours ago, Seokjin hyung was alive and we were laughing all together. Now nobody can trust each other - this isn't what I want".

Hoseok's words left me in shock.

He is right. This killing game has pulled us apart. Without a second thought, Hoseok said the words I wish he never said.

"My guess is... the pantry, with fishnet wire and Jimin", Hoseok shouts, anger in his eyes.

"Your answer is..."

Where is that voice coming from? I look around the room and notice a speaker well hidden within the walls.

It must be from that.

Please say the answer is correct... for Hoseok hyung. I can't lose someone else so suddenly.

"Your answer is..."

Please, let it be correct.

Is the answer correct?
