Y / N

Walking toward president Si Hyuk, Hobi greeted him as he also smiled widely before greeting us back. But his smile also fell when we told him everything.

'I guess I have to inform my boss now,' he said.

'You should inform the police president!'

'No, I can't. If I did that then there will be no second when the media will publish rumors about our Island on their channels and newspapers!'

'But this is a serious case! People are leaving, people are about to die!' Hobi fought back.

'Well, I can do one thing...... If I can personally go to the police and talk with them privately then it will be easy.'

'Did you look at Ni-ki yesterday?' I asked.

'I tried but when he was leaving your area after taking you guys to your house, I couldn't follow him more as I was running and he had a truck. But I saw him going towards Carbonara road-'

'That's it!!! Yoongi and I were called over there as well! That means he was the one who broke that weak ceiling to kill us!' Hobi screamed.

His veins were popping out because of how angry he was.

'Calm down Hobi, it's okay... We have reached the end almost.....' I said while holding his hand tightly.

'I have to go to the mainland to talk with my boss and the police.... The ship will be leaving in 20 minutes,'

president Si Hyuk said as we walked him to the shore where the ship was. We saw the 7 members' families as well.

'Are you going back?' I asked the young man.

'Yes, my wife and father were terrified after what happened with the fish thing. My wife said it can happen in the future as well. That's why decided to cancel this vacation,' the man said.

'Oh, hope you guys will be okay. See you again if we ever meet again!' Hobi said smiling brightly.

The man smiled as he shake his hand with Hobi and then with me. I smiled at his younger daughter. Slightly caressing her cheeks we bid goodbyes to them and Si hyuk.

When the ship left the Island, I and Hobi started to walk.

'What do you think about Ni-ki? I think he is the culprit here!' Hobi said.

'And why do you think like that?' I asked.

'Cause, whenever we are in trouble he is always there. He acts suspicious always and is hungry for money!'

'That doesn't mean that he is the culprit. Now tell me why is he doing this? What is his motive behind all of this?' I asked.

'Umm... he....ummm.' He couldn't say anything.

'Even if he is doing this, why will he do this? If the tourists leave this place then it is his loss as he gets money from tourists right?'

'Yeah.... He looks like a hard-working guy too. Always he thinks how he can get one more dollar~' He said as I laughed.

'Now let's think about the Bangtan group...... They don't like fish.... They don't like someone who destroys nature's beauty.... They don't seem to like the tourists as well.... They want this Island to be non-trash,' I said.

'But if there won't be any persons or any tourists then they won't be able to send the people about their message. The "Save The Planet" message. Also destroying those paintings won't bring them anything as well-'

'Hey! How are you guys?!' Hobi's word was cut off when we heard another voice from behind.

We turned around and saw Mark the one who was the captain of the ship when we came to this Island.

'How are you feeling in Lachimolala Island?' He asked with a bright smile.

'Why are you where?! If you are here then who is controlling that ship which left a few minutes ago!' Hobi asked.

'Well, I am already old and my wife doesn't want me to do work. I am already retired and one of my students who learned about controlling ships is now controlling that ship. I am now going to drive that ship only one time a week,' he replied..

Even though he said he is old, he looks younger.

'Where are you guys going? Are you guys going to climb on that hill?'

He said while pointing towards the hill which was only a few steps ahead of us.

'No, we weren't going to climb that hill. We were talking about the crimes that were happening on this Island,' I said.

'Oh... I wasn't here for a week. I was on the main Island. But I heard from Mr. Lee. Poising the food was a very dangerous accident!'

'Mr. Mark, whenever something happens, Ni-ki is always there,' Hobi said.

'Do you know anything about him?' I asked.

'Ni-ki?! Yeah, I know him. His mother died a few months ago. You have heard it already right?'

'Yes,' Hobi said.

'When his mother died he came to the Island after getting released from jail.'

'Jail?!' I screamed.

'Yes, he was in a teenage detention center for 6 months. He was jailed for using dangerous guns.'

'What did he exactly do?' Hobi asked.

'I wasn't here that time as I didn't retire and was controlling the ship. But I heard that he and president Si hyuk was in a big argument. Ni-ki was so angry at Si hyuk that he pointed a big gun at Si hyuk.'

'President Si hyuk? He pointed a gun towards him?!' I shouted again.

'Yes, after he was sent to jail, his mother begged Si hyuk to forgive him and release him as Ni-ki's father was already dead and she was now surviving with her only son who was in jail at that time.'

'Why was he so angry with president Si hyuk?' I asked.

'I don't know about that but it was all related to tax. The widow aka Ni-ki's mother couldn't give tax in time as she was the owner of a big part of this Island.'

'How much?' I asked.

'Maybe 1/4 of this Island or more than that.'

'Did she still owns the land?' Hobi asked.

'I can't say that. Si hyuk will be very angry if he hears about these things discussing publicly. But you can find records in the town hall.' I nodded my hand in agreement.

We were now far away from our house and now we were in a forest.

'Let's walk around. We can go home later!' I said fully mesmerized by the beauty of the forest.

'This is the forest where I always come,' Mark said.

We were now walking inside the forest. 'This place is so calm.....' Hobi said.

'That's true-' I couldn't complete the sentence when I heard some strong wind behind only to see arrow bows coming in my direction speedily......
