"Jimin?! Where are you?!"

"Oh, right outside uhm— A-Audrey's house."

"You scared the living shit outta me! I called you so many times what took you so long?" Taehyung's loud voice scolds him profusely through his phone, however Jimin doesn't bother responding to him. "I got worried, I was literally driving to her place."

"Well, don't turn back around."

"What?"

Jimin licks his chapped lips, heart aching and nausea crawling through his insides.

"Come here, and let the other's— let them know they're dismissed for today."

There's a silence on the line, of Taehyung trying to find a reason for Jimin to say so.

"Okay, but why?" He finally asks.

Jimin breathes deeply through his nose.

"Audrey's dead." 

Silence again, he can hear the other's breath pacing as well.

"S-She's dead?"

"I've— I've called the cops, they'll bring in forensics." Jimin mutters lowly, feeling absolutely ashamed, both as a human and as a leader of  the team. "Even though I know who it is."

"It's Jungkook isn't it." Taehyung asks, sounding grave. "Did you see him?"

Oh.

Well.

"No." Jimin lies without any hesitation. "But who else could it be?"

This is wrong.

This is absolutely horrible, that he's keeping this from his team, but he doesn't even know where to begin with.

What will they think?

"But Jungkook's never felt this threatened by the cops or the special opps, atleast not enough to murder."

Jimin bites his lips hard at that.

"Y-Yeah I know."

He doesn't get why the other's crime patterns keep changing.

"Jimin, you should go back home."

That was true, he'd go crazy if he just stands here.

"I'll take care of the cops, you need rest."

Jimin hums.

"Thank you."

Location: Jimin's Living room.

Time: 12 Noon

Jimin: shaking with thoughts.

TV: It has the live news on.

The news: Has Jungkook's face at full screen.

Guilt.

Jimin's feeling guilty.

He can't comprehend how low he stooped in front of his team member's dead body with his nemesis.

And as he's thinking about it, he can feel it, he can feel the other's lips pressed against his, forcing them open, warm tongue slipping into his mouth.

He hates that.

This was surely a distraction.

A way for Jimin to sway from his objectives.
