Another sleepless night went by. The sound of the flute went on every single night. And this was the fifth night you hadn't sleep.

It had became harder and harder to bear with the sound. You didn't tell your Brother though because you didn't know how to explain it. How to put it in words. Even you, yourself, don't know what was going on.

Neither could you tell your Boyfriend who had been frantically trying to figure out what was happening to you. He almost dragged you all the way to hospital in the middle of school hours because you were looking so pale and those dark circles under your eyes made you look like you would faint anytime soon.

He tends to overreact but it's only coz he loves you.

It's a Saturday today so you could sleep in for the first time this week ever since then. Seokjin needed to drop by at his workplace due to request and he told you that he might be late so he had prepared some meal for you and Jimin. You just needed to warm it up and enjoy it when you felt hungry.

Jimin decided to visit you. He couldn't stand the fact that he couldn't do anything about it. He wanted to help you figure it out too since he obviously figured that you were hiding something. This meant that you have no choice but to give in.

"So, (Y/N)... you are telling me it's the Pied Piper?"

You gave him a look and he raised his hands up to surrender.

"I trust you I trust you but it's just..."

"Unusual."

He nodded in agreement. It's true no one could figure it out. After all, you had spent your days researching about this Pied Piper.

The two of you had settled in the living room, down on the floor with a table in front that is full of notes and papers. You had your laptop switched on as well, currently screening the blog page about Pied Piper.

None of the updates talked about the type of pain and temptation you felt. They only talked about how sweet it sounded, how handsome he is and how they got their hearts broken. No deep details attached to it.

But you did notice something. Every night you hear that flute sound, there would be a new update which meant a new victim. Thus the person responsible for your sleepless night had to be the Pied Piper.

But you wondered why it affected you when there's only supposed to be one victim each time. According to the updates that is.

You bit the top of your pen and tried to think of any further clue that you could get. All the thinking made you hungry. It was already getting late and both of you haven't eaten anything yet. You got up and went to the kitchen.

Jimin followed you as well. He then grabbed your wrist and pulled you back out. You looked at him shocked and he let go of your wrist to pull the chair out from the dining table.

He tapped on the chair, asking you to sit and you did that. He opened the fridge and took out the food to heat.

"Let me do everything, princess. You are tired. Just rest."

You had your hands up with elbows on the table and you cupped your face with your palms. You slightly pouted as you tried to concentrate again.

There was no idea popping up even after you finished eating. You laid on the floor with your legs stretched out while Jimin washed the dishes.

Your eyes moved to the laptop screen as notification popped up. Your fingers moved to play with the mouse. Jimin wiped his hands and sat down beside you. He checked at what you were staring at.
