"Every man has his secret sorrows that the world knows not. And often time we call a man cold when he is only sad."
The perfect man.
Made rough through time.
He lies, yet he is the honorable one.
He kills, yet he is the most righteous.
He is gentle...

"What do you mean, Namjoon?"
"It will sound weird, but it's... "
"Explain yourself." Arya's voice became sharp.
"Seokjin hyung and you were partners. Don't you have questions why all these years he never once searched for you?" Namjoon scoffed.
Arya didn't answer.
"It's because he witnessed you die."
"I don't understand. I died...um...one year ago. My plane..."
"Not that." Namjoon interrupted Arya in a mid-way. "You were dead in everyone's eyes long before that."
"Namjoon..."
"Hear me out, Sunbae." Namjoon sighed, "It was almost seven years ago. Both You and Seokjin hyung were sent on a mission together in China. Unfortunately, you both got caught in MSS's hand. For the diplomatic relationship between the two countries, Korea did what they do. They denied both of your existence and you were left on your own. I can't tell you what happened next cause Seokjin hyung never talks about it, I know bits and pieces because I read the report he gave after he came back."
"What happened?"
"We don't know actually. MSS tortured you both for information. I don't know exactly when, but they tortured you to death in front of him."
"That's it?" Arya was quiet.
"That's not it. Seokjin hyung managed to free himself, he killed many MSS agents, though it was normal and smart to leave you behind cause he was badly injured but he chose to be stupid and stubborn. He carried your dead body for almost twenty miles in hilly tracks, and finally met Hoseok and Yoongi hyung who volunteered to go and save you. They brought both of you back. He was sent to hospital, went through three emergency surgeries. Meanwhile, the doctor declared you dead. And we arranged a funeral for you. And from then? Well, he never mentioned you ever again."
Arya instantly remembered what Soojin said to her, "I don't care if I had seen you get buried six feet under."
It all made sense now. Clear like daylight. To all of them, she was dead, they even attended her funeral. Jin never searched for her, cause who would search for a dead person?"
"So, though I wasn't dead, I was declared dead and then had a fake funeral. And after that day, I just went undercover and never returned?"
Namjoon just shrugged.
"So, sunbae." Namjoon smiled a little, "your question about how Seokjin hyung knew you were dead? Well, he was the front row audience to be precise."
"I..."
"And how do you expect him to answer your questions about yourself? Sunbae, do you understand how cruel your questions were for him?"
