The Perfect Secret: Whistleblower (Complete)

Chapter One

Choi sighed, heavily, as he said to me, "When are you gonna talk about what happened? It's been two weeks since the interrogation."

Jimin joined in, "Yea, Kookie. We wanna know what you told them. Suho is losing it because he thinks you snitched. He's been acting very suspicious around us, as well."

Rolling my eyes, I tried to ignore them both while I got dressed for school. I honestly didn't care that Suho, that lunatic, thinks of me as a snitch. I know that I am no snitch. I mean, why would I rat out my friends and myself? 

Since Ri was murdered, everyone has been keeping cool to avoid suspicious behavior. Despite that, everyone has been on edge. Ji-won, Jimin's half brother, made things worse by talking to the police, that traitor. 

Strange thing is, Ji-won has been trying to contact me, through Social Media, as if I would answer back.  I'm not sure of what his tensions are but, I'm not taking any more chances with him. He could be working with the police, for all we know. Due to my decision to let Ji-won go, Hoseok is beginning to turn against me. It hurt me, deeply, when Hoseok called me a traitor. I haven't seen or spoken to him since that night. I still wonder, who else from the crew thinks differently of me? Either way, we all will turn on each other sooner or later.

"I just wanna help you, JungKook. I wanna be able to back you up, when the whole crew starts turning on you," Choi continued.

I grew angry and shouted, "Like I give a damn about what they think of me! You should back me up, regardless!"

Choi sighed heavily once more, as Jimin lowered his head and walked away to avoid a scolding. I huffed and puffed as I paced back and forth in the middle of my room. Everything, that we are holding secrets of, is killing me slowly.

Most of all, I feel terribly guilty for Ri's death. Although I didn't cause it, I know who did and I know I could have prevented it. I'm just as guilty as his killer. There was just too much weight on my shoulders for me to bare. What was I to do?

"How can you two think that I would snitch like that, huh?" I shouted again, "You should back me up, regardless!"

"We understand," Jimin softly said, "But we don't think of you that way, you should know that."

Choi slid his shirt over his head.

"We just wanna know what happened. Mostly because we want to know what the police may know," Choi said in a convincing tone, "Please, JungKook."

I sat down onto my bed while staring down at the floor. I just didn't want to think about the interrogation at all. Not that it was traumatizing but, because I just wanted to forget about everything that is happening, even for a minute. I really wanted to live a normal life, again, without any troubles. Will that wish ever become reality?

I looked into Choi's eyes while nodding slowly. I took in a deep breath and began to tell what happened that night.

"Fine. Well, not much happened but, this is what went down..."

"Son, we understand that you want to stay loyal to your friends. Sadly though, your friends could be putting you and your family into grave danger," Detective Johns said to me.

Staring into space, I had already decided to keep myself from telling them anything they didn't already know. Detective Floyd, a balding guy with an annoying voice, sighed and began to raise his voice at me. I have watched a lot of movies and dramas to know when detectives are playing the 'good cop, bad cop' bullshit. So cliche.

"You, yourself, could be looking at time in jail for not cooperating with us! Especially if you know something about this kidnapping, you are going to jail with those fuck ups you call friends!" Detective Floyd shouted, "Now tell us what happened tonight! We wanna know what you know!"
