*UPDATE!!*

"Hey Tae Tae,"

"Yeah?" He leans back against the chair and pushes his glasses up on the bridge of his nose.

"I think Kooks is having a period,"

Taehyung plasters a "huh?" look on his face and flicks his eyes over to see Jungkook spreading himself out on the table like a heap of mushed bread. If that's enough, he even bangs his head repeatedly on the table. Each movement is mingled with a deep groan that Tae doubts whether it's due to the pain or disappointment.

"Period your ass," Taehyung flips the page over of the victim's data after smacking Namjoon's biceps. "Maybe he's stressed lately."

"Isn't stress are always caused by periods?" Namjoon snickers.

"Ugh... You're such a pain." Taehyung gives up and concentrates on what he's researching. He was given a task by Jungkook, to track the extensive area near the crime scene for pubs and bars via his computer map. It's a simple task and he was done with nearly 80% of it, the only thing he needs to do is to minimize the numbers of unsuspicious bars according to the data collected and he'll go back to investigate the witnesses.

"Hey Kooks!" Taehyung calls for the lanky detective sipping his coffee in a corner of the room. He looks disappointed, unlike any other days before except two things. One, he could be kicked because of a hot chic or broke up after a long-term relationship but since Taehyung knows that Jungkook doesn't have a girlfriend (or boyfriend) at the moment, the chances may have the odds to be number two - which is undesired business in work.

"Oh, hello hyung," Jungkook continues to sip his coffee after greeting Tae with a genuine smile. "What's up?"

"I finished the research," Taehyung mentally curses due to the heat rising up his cheeks because who could even resist that smile? "Would you like to give it a glimpse?"

"That would be more than great, Tae-tae hyung!" Jungkook flashes a bunny smile that's even brighter than the previous one and followed behind Taehyung. He sits beside him while Tae turns on his computer and clicks on a yellow file.
"This is the document about the club you have to check on according to most of the evidences and traits gathered."

"Most of?" Jungkook raises an eyebrow while skimming over the word document.

"Yes, only a few traits are left behind." Tae fumbles with the paper beside them. "Except for the fact that this man is a pretty swanky bloke hanging out in a normal club like this, everything else matches."

"Then that's okay," Jungkook nods. "The shortcomings won't be as much."

After that, Jungkook continues to skim over the document when he notices that Taehyung directly jumps to the conclusion that he should only investigate one club.

"So I only investigate Devil's Curse?"

"Yes."

"Why are you so sure about it?" Jungkook cocks an eyebrow. "What if it's wrong then?"

"Jungkook, that's the only bar that fits with all the evidences." Taehyung says with a deep tone. "There are other bars, however they're too far for the victim to reach and the brands collected according to the report match the most with what at the bar."

"Hmm.. okay then," Jungkook says and shrugs, "It's tomorrow that I'm going to visit the crime scene and gather up relationships Tae-hyung, wanna come with me tomorrow?" 

"Actually that's the thing, Jungkook." Taehyung looks up at him with slight sadness laces in his dreamy-looking eyes. "Yoongi says that you should work with someone other than the ones you've worked with."

Jungkook raises his eyebrows in confusion. Taehyung and especially Yoongi knows well enough that he doesn't and won't ever work with other than Namjoon, Taehyung and himself. If he can't work with Joon or Tae, he'll work alone and that's it, no more no less. However, it's the rarity that Yoongi himself chooses him a partner, which will be one that he can't defy at all cost. 

"Who is it then hyung?" Jungkook asks anxiously, his heart races fast and he secretly prays for whatever he's thinking isn't going to be a reality.

Jimin sits and does nothing but stares at the ceiling while time slowly passes. It's the end of day 2, black outside and streetlights begin to be lit up. The floor is filled with continuous typing noises and the quiet sound of the fan blowing above his head. He wonders when he'll be free since that lanky detective hasn't informed him yet and his mind wanders to Hoseok. How is he doing now? Jimin's things are in supervision so undoubtedly his phone will be overflowed with missed calls and text messages. Is Hoseok overly worried now? Oh no.. Is he starving himself due to anxiety? 

Jimin flinches at the thought of what Hoseok could be capable of when he's worrying. He remembered the time he collapsed after his performance due to his early and late shifts. Of course, he had to rest in the hospital for a week before discharging. While he was in a coma, Hoseok sat by his side and didn't eat nor sleep for three days straight. After Jimin's revival, he had to worry about Hoseok's conditions due to his sleep deprivation and hunger however, he still felt that he's always a good friend, attentive to others and also the happiness of others.

His lips form into a sad smile, Hoseok, how will I ever deserve a friend like you...

"Hey,"

Jimin snaps his head to the bars where the brunette boy with glasses is standing, making a few pink strands of his hair fell into his eyes. The boy is standing by the opened cell door and signals Jimin to go outside with him. After getting out of the stuffy cell, he walks side by side with the glasses boy, letting him lead him to the destination. The boy reaches a hand out to grasp the shiny door-knob and twists it. Jimin hears metal click and he peeps in to find the young cop sitting and seeming to have waited for him patiently. He looks at the boy but he only mouths a 'go to him', which confused Jimin obeys and mindlessly walks to the man sitting behind the table. His heart races fast due to anxiety of what the interrogation can hold. He pulls out a chair and makes himself comfortable while being carefully watched by the cop... Before he could know it, he's being interrogated and if this is done with fast and authentic evidences to back up his innocence then he'll return back home, to his small flat, to his friend Hoseok...

Just the thought of it makes his heart suddenly being engulfed with warmth.
