The Kim siblings thought they were finally free-free to live, to laugh, to escape the shadows of their past.
A trip abroad was supposed to be a time to unwind, to strengthen their bond after all they had endured. But peace is fleeting, and darkness...

After calming Namjoon down, giving him strength and asking him to trust them, the brothers sadly left the police station. They did not want to leave, but they had to because one officer insisted.
One by one, they said goodbyes to Namjoon. Lastly, only YN and Namjoon were left in the room. YN approached him and hugged him tightly, her arms tightly holding him safely. "I'm so sorry, Oppa. for making you feel like we don't trust you. Your Cutie is really sorry.
Namjoon pulled her to his chest, holding her as if he didn't want to let her go. "It's okay, Cutie," he whispered softly, steady. "You know your Namjoon Oppa can't stay mad at you for long, right?
She nodded against his chest, then slowly released the hug. "Don't worry, Oppa. We will get you out of here soon. I will get you out. I promise.
Namjoon smiled gently, but his smile didn't fully reach his eyes. He reached out and patted her head, just like he often did with Sarang. "Oppa trusts you," he said, his voice very quiet.
YN smiled back, showing the strong will in her eyes. She was about to walk away but stopped when she felt a soft hold on her wrist.
"Cutie," Namjoon whispered to her.
She looked back, with no idea why he sounded so desperate. "What happened, Oppa?"
Namjoon was silent for a moment before he took a deep breath, and said, "There is something I need to tell you. something you all should know.
YN tilted her head slightly. Her eyebrows furrowed in a question. "What is it?
Namjoon took a few seconds to gather his thoughts before continuing, his tone cautious. "Joo-young. he came to see me. At first, he was shouting and accusing me, crying like I'd betrayed him. But then. he said something that didn't make sense. Something that's been bothering me ever since."
She became more puzzled, but she listened intently as Namjoon described his encounter with Joo-young in a clear manner that showed both anger and shock.
YN listened intently, her face etched with worry and deep thought. After Namjoon finished sharing with her about Joo-young's confusing words, she sat beside him, her fingers nervously fidgeting with the edge of her sleeve.
"What did he mean by that, Oppa? Maybe you did it or maybe you didn't?" she asked softly.
Namjoon shook his head, showing he was frustrated. "I don't know, Cutie. But the way he said it. It's like he knows something. He's hiding something, I'm sure of it."
YN nodded slowly, thinking fast. "Then we need to figure out what that is. Joo-young might have the prove that you didn't do it."
Namjoon looked at her, his eyes tired but full of hope. "Do you think he would talk to you or the others?
"I don't know, Oppa," she said. "But we need to be careful. If he is hiding something, there is a reason for it."
Namjoon let out a sigh and leaned back in his chair. "Just promise me you'll be safe. Don't do anything that can hurt any of you. I can't bear to lose anyone else."
YN smiled at him, took his hand tightly in his and said, " Oppa, don't. I'm okay. Do what you can and carry on. We'll work together on this.
Just then, the door opened and the officer entered with his usual stern expression. "Time's up. Leave. Please."
YN stood and hugged Namjoon one last time. "I'll come back soon, Oppa. Stay strong for us, for Rebecca Unnie, for me, for your Cutie."
Namjoon nodded as he watched her go, his heart filled with sadness. When the door shut behind her, he quietly said, "I trust you, Cutie. Find the truth."

Back with the Kim siblings.
YN returned to the hotel where the brothers were staying. As soon as she walked in, everyone gazed at her.
"What made you take so long? What were you two talking about?" Jin asked as he got off the couch.
YN relayed the details of her conversation, including the encounter with Joo-young. As she spoke, Yoongi's face darkened.
That's suspicious," Yoongi muttered. "If Joo-young's acting like this, he might know something important—or worse, he's involved.
Hoseok was discontent. "Involved? Can he have manipulated Namjoon?
"It's possible," Yoongi replied. "But we need some evidence. If we confront him without any, he might turn it against us."
Jimin crossed his arms across his chest, his eyes worrying, his face whitish. "Then, then what do we do? How can we find the truth?"
YN stepped forward, her voice calm but firm. "I'll handle it. I'll talk to Joo-young. He won't see it coming if I approach him."
"Absolutely not!" Jin protested, his tone sharp. "It's too dangerous, YN."
"She's right, Hyung," Jungkook interjected. "If anyone can get through to him, it's her. But we need a backup plan."
After a heated debate, the siblings finally agreed, but only on the condition that YN wouldn't go alone. Hoseok volunteered to stay nearby, ready to intervene if things went wrong.
