"The last thing I want to be a part of is a heroic sacrifice.", Jungkook protested as Yoongi waved his arms calmly.

"That won't be necessary. You see, those who killed these people were quite barbaric. These poor souls are nowhere near them.", Yoongi informed sympathetically.

"I'd wouldn't call murderers 'poor souls', in any case.", Seokjin commented, crossing his arms across his chest.

Yoongi's eyes dissolved into crescents of distaste. "They feel insulted.", he remarked.

Namjoon tugged his senior's sleeve. "Don't let your guard down, hyung. You don't want to be next."

The air of tension subsided as Jungkook stepped forward after taking a sigh of hard decision and great responsibility.
"Do no fret.", he began. "I shall assist with the exorcism since it is my duty as a police detective to protect and preserve Do-bong's integrity till my last."

Jungkook's words of wisdom ignited a warm feeling in Seokjin's heart, as he caught Namjoon smiling like a proud father.

"Detective Kim!", she spoke frantically. "You must come to the hospital immediately."

"What happened, Doctor Lee?", he instinctively questioned.

"Some patients have flooded in with  similar symptom, yet an undetectable disease. I think an epidemic is beginning to spread in Do-bong."
