J-Hope~ POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

I took a small nap and when I was awaken by the loud thunder, it was only 5 am. The couch was warm and cozy. For some reason, I did not think about the kidnapping incident, but I did put some thought onto me driving again.

Just for the thrill, J-Hope, just for the thrill.

To my surprise, there was cars on the road at this time. I observed them in the rain. It must be so nice to be driving during this weather.

I pulled my gaze away from the window and glanced around. I let out a silent breath and sat up. Right away, my head kinda ached.

Rapmonster still laid by the window seat. Suga and Jimin shared the large sectional. Jin was in the corner with a large blanket. I heard a cup fall and clatter.

In the small kitchen, there was V. He bashfully smiled at me and picked it up. V took two more mugs out of the cabinet. Using a teapot, he poured the hot liquid into the three mugs. Even though there was no lights, you could see the steam.

V wiped his face and sipped one. He added sugar to all of them.

"Go to sleep," I hoarsely whispered.

I have to admit that I was hungry. The unfinished smell of bulgogi still lingered.

V started walking towards me. He made his way around the "maze" of his "fallen" friends.

"You too," he softly said as he handed me a cup of tea and pain killers.

V swiftly exited the living room. He tuck a laptop under his arms and held onto the remaining mugs. V entered a bedroom, that must belonged to Jungkook.

I smiled at their partnership. I swallowed the tea and the pills. I fell back asleep, listening to the soft rain and the clear ticking of the clock.

Rapmonster~ POV

I knew it was noon, once I was awake. I didn't know what to expect. Well I didn't expect to be handcuffed to a tall lamp, that's for sure.

"Is this really necessary?" I called out.

"Jin says you're a runner"

I didn't see who said that but I noticed that Jin was not here. Suga and J-Hope were crashing on the couch looking over reports with Jimin. V and Jungkook hovered over me.

"I won't run, I'm too tired anyways," I spoke back.

"Look Rapmonster, we're going to ask you questions. Please answer truthfully," V ignored me.

I sat there, staring at them blankly.

"Who is Bunny?" Jungkook immediately asked.

I swallowed and leaned back.

"Ben Free, my roommate or my drinking buddy."

I continued to look at the ceiling. I heard V write on his notebook.

"Alright, who's the rest of the Paper Gang?"

I looked straight at V.

"I don't know, I discovered that Bunny was my friend during that night of the bar incident," I answered truthfully.

"So Bunny attacked you, basically," Jungkook stated.

I nodded and sighed.

"Will you guys provide me with protection or something?"

They looked at each other both and then back at me.

"I know it's dangerous to be involved with the Paper Gang, but we need you to play on both sides," V said.

"What?"

"You'll have to pretend you still kept your secret," Jungkook cleared.

I gulped. I wished I could be ripped away from this case already.

"Oh, if you need help, just call us or we'll call you, vice versa. Please cooperate with us, you'll be a helpful asset in the future," V said.

"Oh I wouldn't recommend going home too, we received reports from the precinct that cyanide gas has been released, so that place is off-limits," Jungkook added.

I groaned, that meant I had to find a new place and new belongings. For the rest of the afternoon, I was asked simple questions from V and Jungkook. They were able to draw some of the Paper Gang's identities. Kitty turned out to be blonde. I was excused when they were halfway done.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Curiously, I was dropped off by the sidewalk of Bunny's home. From a mere distance, I saw the bright yellow police tape and smelled something that resembled bitter almonds.

Jungkook told me that was cyanide gas.

I shivered at the thought of the deadly gas and backed away.

Funny I was standing at the spot where I first time fired my gun.

Something white caught my eye. I walked to the porch and ran away with the white letter.

"Rapmonster, looks like they almost got meh, you're gonna be on your own for a bit. Hold yourself now. See you soon," I cited off the letter.

It was Bunny.

I couldn't call him Ben anymore, I just couldn't.

I sighed and whipped out my phone. I'll hold onto this note for a bit. I dialed my manager's number and asked for a room.
