You were walking to Jieun's room not forgetting to greet the police officers whom you saw like Jieun's bodyguard. You can imagine Jieun doing her diva if she was up right now. She was the type of wanting attention without wanting it, a really complicate human being you may say, but it's exactly for this trait of character that you love her so much. You enter the small room to find Yoongi and Seokjin discussing about something that you have any clue about.
"Hi guys" you made your presence known with a weak voice, making them turn to see you with puffy eyes. You tried to cover it with the help of Misun but failed...clearly.
"Hi" Yoongi answered with a small smile when Seokjin looked at you with furrowed eyebrows.
"Isn't that the clothes that you wore yesterday?" He asked a bit confused by the outfit you were currently wearing. Looking closely to see if he was right and he was. You didn't have time to go back to your house and Misun washed your clothes last night so you didn't mind wearing them again.
"Oh... Yeah... I didn't come back home last night..." You were as nervous as a teenage girl facing her parents after spending the night to her boyfriend's place, which is not the case here,so why I feel like it?... You asked yourself as Yoongi and Seokjin looked at you with eyebrows raised.
"And where exactly were you young lady?"Yoongi looked at you with 'the' glare which scared you as much as you fear death.
"At my...friend's" you answered with less confidence than a introvert timid child.
"Friend, uh?" Seokjin asked doubtfully crossing his arms, he wasn't buying it...at all, but you were telling the truth, why it feels wrong even for you.
"Y-yeah"did I just stuttered? Why... Why now? You bit your lower lip when the two of them scoffed softly.
"Who is it?" Yoongi asked more seriously, knowing that it wasn't just a 'friend' but more,...much more.
You were about to answer when the door opened, you all turn around only to find Jungkook walking to you. Why now? Why me? Can't my life be more complicate? You were currently cursing in your head taking a deep breath before facing the boy who just  enter the room.
"Good morning" he bowed greeting the two boys behind you. The two young men were now in each side of you as if they try to protect you or something like that.
"Yeah,... Who are you?" Seokjin was in his possessive mode meaning he saw you like his daughter and in the current situation, Jungkook as your boyfriend, which he wasn't.
"I'm y/n's... Friend" he answered just like you hesitating in the word 'friend'. This little detail making your heart beat faster, your face flustered and also making the two possessive men you were in between raise their eyebrows.
Jungkook scratch his neck, shifting awkwardly under your friend's glare, if looks could kill, he will be dead by now.
"What are you...doing here?" You finally break the thick tension which was growing every millisecond in the room.
"I... You... Forgot your...p-purse in the car" and it's only now that you remark you didn't have it with you. But you didn't ignore the fact that he was a stuttering mess which makes you bit your lip to fight a growing smile.
"Thanks" you were completely red, the moment your fingers brushes his when he pass you the famous purse. Your friends were amazed by the scene in front if them. You never manifested any interest in boys as far as they know, and you never mentioned a boyfriend.
"I'll go now" Jungkook gives you a nervous grin mumbling the words shyly, which was totally cute in your eyes.
"Yeah" you also mumbled shyly. Yoongi scoffed at the bold you who all of a sudden became all shy around a guy.
"It was a pleasure meeting you" again he bowed before looking at you again. He seemed to think a bit before leaning in and kissing your forehead making you widen your eyes a bit surprised.
"Call me when you go to work" he straighten bowing one last time and leaving. You were dumbfounded, completely. You were red as a tomato, with an idiot smile and you were biting your lip. Yoongi and Seokjin just looked at each other when you squealed.
"Friend you said?" Yoongi scoffed again and it's when you realized that you were acting like a twelve years old girl who got her first kiss.
"Y-yeah friend. It's an old friend of mine" you blurted out quickly and put a straight face on. You didn't even know you can act like that, you never manifested any kind of interest in boys.
"So why we don't have a clue about who he is. We, your supposed best friends, should know him" Yoongi stated with a matter-of-fact tone. You never talked about your past to them and never planned on telling them but when they will want to know more about Jungkook, Misun or Taehyung, what you were gonna say.
"Don't you have to leave Seokjin?" You quickly change the subject. You trust them to not judge, it's just that you are the one who is not ready to tell anyone even talk back about it with your three other friends who lived this traumatic experience.
The two boys saw the mood swing that just happen. From joyful, you became the complete opposite, a mix of emotion that they cannot read. Seokjin decided to not pressure you in telling you... For now.
"Yes... I'm going to be late,... Just keep an eye on Jieun and call me if something happen" he stated and you just mumbled a 'yeah' sitting on your usual spot near Jieun's hospital bed while Yoongi nodded. Seokjin doesn't know if he should hug you like he used to do because your mood had seemed to change drastically, so he just let you alone.
"See you then" and with that your friend's brother leave you and your best friend alone to look after Jieun.
Yoongi was going to say something again when you interrupted him.
"I know him since I am ten and I don't wanna talk about this period of my life so no question" it's the first time you were cold towards Yoongi which means that it was a really touchy subject and it is. Jieun and him never asked you about what happened to you, why you live alone or what happened to your parents and you never tried to talk about it so they weren't curious at all.
"Okay I'll drop it" he breathed out more confused than he was...

"Yoongi I'm leaving for work" you announced to the teenage boy whom was currently playing in his phone. You were feeling a bit guilty for snapping at him sooner.
"Euh...Yoongi?" You called for him with an almost inaudible voice, you didn't talk that much today and it feels strange for both of you.
He looks up from his phone to see you fidgeting with your hands.
"Yeah?" He was waiting for whatever you were going to say with some anxiety, he was afraid that he was too pressuring sooner.
"I... I am sorry for earlier... It's just that it's not an easy subject for me"you didn't give that much of information with your apology but Yoongi was grateful that it wasn't all his fault.
"I'm sorry too... It's your choice to tell us or not" yes but he wanted to know the truth badly but he wanna respect.
"Thank you" you hugged him and exchanged 'see you' s before leaving.

You were in your way to the coffee shop when your phone rings. Unknown number?
You answered curious about the identity of the caller.
"Hello?" You asked to the other line.
"Euh... Hi it's me" you recognize the deep voice and a smile made its way to your lips.
"Oh, hi" you were blushing while smiling like an idiot currently walking on the street earning some stares from the pedestrians passing you by...
"Are you working?" He asked and you shake your head even if he can't see it.
"I'm on my way" you replied and he hummed on the other line. You arrived in front of the coffee shop, the strange fact is that it seemed closed but with the door open. Jungkook were in a middle of one sentence when you cut him off.
"Jungkook, come to the coffee shop as soon as you can" without letting him reply,you hung up and put your phone in your purse.
You had a bad feeling in your chest and the fact that a serial killer was wandering on the street didn't help you calm thus feeling at all. It was four forty the shop should be crowded.
You push the door trying to make no sound with fear growing through your whole body with each step you take. There was a heavy scent in the room that you can decipher but which make you nauseated.
You tried to find the switch of the light but couldn't find it. You grab your phone and switch on your flashlight, as soon as it enlighten a part of the room, you were met by a dead body on the floor in a pool of blood, you trip on your on feet lending on the cold floor with your butt, tightening the grip on your phone. You direct the flash of the phone to the dead corpse and gasp in horror when you recognized the face of the human being before you, it was Kiyeon, your coworker and friend. You were feeling pure shock and fear, your chest tightened when you approach the body and put your hand on her neck to check her pulse. Dead.  You were crying when staring at her and that's when a thought came in your mind. Hoseok surely came here this morning. You stand up from your kneeling position before shouting his name not thinking that someone may be here.
"Hoseok!!" You yelled hoping that he was alive and can help you. You direct the flashlight to every direction, breathing heavily, tears staining your cheeks. But with a piece of clothe placed in your mouth and nose, even when you kick your legs and wiggle under the strong grip, you ended up unconscious, blacking out in the unknown person's arm...
