"I wanted to survive", Taehyung cries. "That's all".

"Even if it meant sacrificing us all?", Namjoon declares.

"Yes".

"But you don't feel that way anymore, right?", I ask.

His gaze turns to the floor, a look of guilt consuming his face.

"Aren't we family Taehyung?", Jimin cries out.

"We are..."

"Then why?"

"I'm scared Jimin! I'm terrified of death. I'm not as morally correct as you. I don't have the strength to sacrifice myself for others", he whimpers.

I feel really bad for him.

"Taehyung didn't choose to have the role of the killer in this game", I state. "Anyone of us could have gotten it so... I actually feel bad for him".

Namjoon tuts.

"Are you all stupid? Lacking some brain cells are we? It doesn't matter if he was forced to or not. The fact remains: he killed".

Namjoon has been acting completely different. He usually remains his calm and tries to see both sides of the story however right now, he is quite aggressive.

Is he acting different because our lives are on the line?

I keep these thoughts to myself.

"So, what did you do with Seokjin hyung's body?", Yoongi asks breaking the momentarily silence.

"I didn't touch his corpse, I swear. I was even astonished that it had been moved".

Taehyung sounds genuine with his words.

"Then you didn't move Hoseok hyung either?" I add.

"Nope".

I wonder who moved them?

I shouldn't try to think about it so deeply since Taehyung has already admitted to being the murderer.

"Then, what about the weapon? What was it?", Yoongi inquires.

"That... I can't tell you that".

"Because we can escape then? Is that why?"

"Yes. If you all escape then I will die".

"But if you escape them we all die", I interject.

He pauses for a moment.

"I won't give you the exact answer but I can at least offer a hint. What kind of bread is a bread but is inedible?"

I try to think about the riddle. All of the bread that I can think about is edible.

What kind of bread is a bread but is inedible?
