"Ms. Valta?" confusion lies in the eyes of the man holding the victim's phone that keeps ringing with Jeongguk's name on the screen.

As realization hits Jeongguk's head, his eyes went empty as he keeps looking at Soogun's phone. He suddenly feels numb in his hands, dropping his phone beside his feet while his hand hangs still.

Jeongguk turns his head at his back, seeing the face of the man who is standing beside a man holding his arm, prepared in case the suspect will escape, hands still in a cage. His eyes are locked at the man beside the victim's body.

A person can tell that Jeongguk is starting to lose control. However, things happen so fast that it was too late to stop him when the suspect is already on the floor, unable to defend himself after a fist landed on his face.

"Jeon Jeongguk!" Seokjin immediately went beside Hoseok who is holding Jeongguk tightly before the youngest causes another mess. "Look at me, Jeongguk-ah!" Seokjin shouted while holding the youngest in both arms.

Jeongguk did look back at his hyung. Seokjin was expecting to see guilt in his eyes, but it was empty. Jeongguk was silent, no words were coming out from his mouth, but his body is still moving as it tries to get out from Hoseok's arms.

"You must be Kim Seokjin, the one who answered the call earlier" it was the guy holding the victim's phone, Mr. Falton. "I apologize for the mess that my friend has caused. I also thought it would be easy if we will do our part when she is already transferred to a proper place."

"We understand, Mr. Kim--"

"Hyung!"

A single call from Hoseok made the two officers and Seokjin turn their heads at the scene behind them. It was Hoseok holding Jeongguk, protecting the head of the youngest from almost hitting on the ground as he passed out.

"I'll take care of him, he did not get enough of sleep," Seokjin said and carries the youngest in a bridal style towards their car.

Ms. Valta and Mr. Falton also excused themselves to continue investigating the area. Silence taking over them as the place is left with the two men standing a meter away from each other. Hoseok keeps his eyes on the suspect as he also does the same thing to Hoseok.

"We'll be taking him now to the station--"

"I have so many questions"

"We can clear things at the court, sir"

"Alone. I want to talk to him alone"

Hoseok notices the hesitation of the officer, but he really needs to talk with the suspect. "Don't worry, I won't let him go. You can keep an eye on us, and I won't do anything bad to him" he said with a smile to assure the officer that it will be fine. Hoseok lets out a sigh when he made the officer convinced.

When Hoseok felt no other presence but the two of them, he finally let go of the tears that he forced to stop. "Hyung, how did they find you?"

Seeing the tears on Hosoek's face feels like an arrow just hit him in the chest. He felt a bit disappointed in himself, for failing Hoseok, but he feels no guilt for what he did earlier.

"No one is watching us, stop crying now"

Hoseok immediately wipes his tears after what the man in front of him said. Hoseok looks around and moves closer to the suspect when the officer earlier left them alone.

"What did you find, Yoongi hyung?" Hoseok asked.

What did I find? It was a question that found the suspect hard to answer. He surely found a lot than he thought, but is it right to tell that information to him? "That woman is not Soogun"
