Chapter One: Not A Normal Guy.

Saturday, May 26

JiMin's POV.

With my eyes closed, I let the wind blow through my hair as I'm on the back of my Hyung's motorcycle.

I hold on to him and take a deep breath before exhaling.

I open my eyes to look at the beautiful scenery that presents itself to us.

The air is so pure here.

So much so that the smell of CO2 from the big city where I was is nothing more than a distant memory.

Hoseok: I know you feel good but don't fall asleep. You're going to fall.

Me: I'll try...

I'm Park Jimin, I'm 26 years old and I'm a law student.

I majored in criminology because criminals have always fascinated me.

Since I was little, I've always wondered how these people lived, ate, and thought.

Is it weird?

I know, I'm not a normal guy.

I tighten my arms around Hoseok's waist as he starts a turn.

Not wanting to spend too much on this trip, I asked him to take me on his motorbike to the small town where I have to do some final research to finalize my thesis.

A small town hidden in a large forest.

After that, I will finally graduate from one of the biggest universities in the country.

We stop at a gas station to rest a little.

Hoseok buys something to drink while I wait patiently outside.

He comes back a minute later.

Hoseok: There are plenty of other places, why there specifically?

He gives me a bottle of water.

I drink then answer:

Me: There are inexplicable disappearances that happen there. The local police can't solve this mystery.

Hoseok: And you think you can?

I look at him.

My mischievous smile spreads across my face.

Me: Who do you think I am? Of course I can do it.

Hoseok rolls his eyes.

I laugh.

Me: During my studies, I was not directly confronted with this kind of puzzle. This is an opportunity to put into practice everything I had to learn during all these years.

Hoseok: Mhm... If you say so. But be careful. I don't want to get a call telling me that you are also untraceable.

Me: That won't happen. I run very fast. And then I am flexible. You know that.

Hoseok: You are especially too small for your age. You are 26 years old but you have the body of a teenager in full puberty-Aï!

I punch him in the shoulder.

Me: Don't make fun of me.

When I was in middle school, I was very self-conscious about my weight, which I now realize was normal for my age at the time (14 years old).

But at that time, I thought I was too fat.

So I suffered from anorexia from middle school to high school.

It was after meeting Hoseok Hyung that my weight stabilized.

He taught me to accept my body and I will always be grateful to him.
