Innocence

Truth

"So who were you talking to on the phone?"

"J-just a friend" I could hear the shakiness in his voice. "Just a friend you say? Fine if you say so"

I decided to pretend nothing happened. Instead as a detective, I'll discreetly investigate what's going on. Sooner or later, the truth would leak out.

Let's see how long you can play this game, Jeon.

"Baby, you gotta believe me" he chased after me as I quickly walk back to my room.

"I believe you" I faked smile before plopping down my bed. Jimin still sleeping soundly on the living room couch, he'll most probably doze off till the next morning knowing how tired he was.

"No you don't" Jungkook sat down next to me, my back facing his. "I'm tired, can we please talk tomorrow?"

"No you're lying. It's only 830 and you're sleeping?"

I turned to him with an irritated expression on my face "Look, it was an intense day alright? Even though I'm happy I got my best friend back but I still have other bullshit to think about"

"What's those other bullshit then?"

"Not now, Jungkook"

"Tell me what it is!" He raised his voice and started to grab my wrist, hard.

"Let me go! What the heck is your problem!"

"You're hiding something from me!"

"I can say the same to you!"

"What the hell is happening?!" Someone else's voice intervened our argument, "What are you two squabbling about?" Looks like Jimin has woken up from his slumber.

"Nothing" I denied. "No Tae, that's not nothing. Now tell your best friend what is going on" he moved closer and sat at the edge of my bed.

"Jungkook, do you mind?" He glared at the younger to signal him to go out. "No I want to hear what you say to him"

"Get out. I want private time with my bestfriend" Jungkook still stay rooted to his spot with his arms folded. "Five seconds. Out"

"Seriously? Wow okay"

"It's okay, Jimin. Let him hear. We have a misunderstanding, that's all"

"And that is?"

"We think that we each are hiding something from each other"

"Okay so are you?" Jimin focused deep into my eyes. "No I'm not"

"How bout you?" The eldest in the room diverted his gaze to the maknae. "I'm not either"

How dare he deny.. I clearly heard him talking to someone who most probably might be the murderer. What kind of policemen is he if he's not bring justice to a crime?

"Well guess you're right. It is a misunderstanding. Now can I leave the two of you alone without any shouting or whatever?"

I nodded my head in agreement so does Jungkook. Jimin gave me a comforting hug before proceeding to the guest room to continue his rest. I lay back down on the bed when Jungkook pulled me close to him, snaking his arms around my waist.

"Hey, I'm sorry"

"Forget it. Now can you let me sleep please" I shove his hands away but he tightened the grip even harder, refusing to let me go.

"No goodnight kiss?"

"Not tonight" I released from his hold and lay down on my side of the bed. He followed suit, and made an attempt to kiss my lips which I avoided.

"Please baby, one kiss" he pouted. I rolled my eyes and turn my back against him. "Goodnight Jungkook"

"Hmph fine, goodnight"

He switched off the lights and we both drifted off to sleep.

Being a light sleeper, in the middle of the night, I heard his phone vibrate under his pillow. Jungkook was snoring away, thank goodness he's a heavy sleeper. This might be my opportunity.

I look at the caller... Hyung.

Who the hell? No name. Just hyung. And what does he want calling at 3am?

I secretly took hold of his phone and answer the call. I didn't say hello or anything but instead wait for the caller to speak.

Yo Jeon. You should know what to do next. I'm counting on you. Make sure nobody knows. Or else you know what will happen to your detective boyfriend.

He ended the call after his threat.

"Tae.. W-why are you holding my phone?" Shit looks like the little one realized I wasn't beside him on the bed since he has the habit of hugging me during sleep.

"Whose hyung?"

"Please Tae, not now. I want to sleep"

"No Jungkook. Now. Are you in trouble?"

He refused to answer, covering himself with the blanket. I started to hear soft sobs coming from him.

"Hey.. Don't cry" I slowly lifted up the blanket and let him snuggle up to me. "Tell me what's happening"

"S-someone is planning to k-kill you if I don't do what they say"

"Who is that someone?"

"I can't tell you..." He started to cry even more, I soothe him by rubbing his back and planting a kiss on his forehead.

"Please tell me. Maybe I can help you"

"He's... He's..."

"He's? Jungkook, please"

"He's the murderer"
