"Broken past."

Lyrics: all alone, only the cold night air is with me.

Heartbroken.

That's what Jungkook was.

Junmyeom the police officer looked at him with pitiful eyes.

"There was a time when I found a special place in my heart for 14 year old Jungkook. I think all of the victims did. It was Jinyoungs way of keeping us all quiet, using Jungkook. I think you need to interview Mark Tuan as well, him and I talked about this before."

The other police officer Jogin wrote down the name with a heavy heart looking at Yoongi who held tightly onto Jimins hand.

"Is there anyone else we should interview?" Junmyeom asked looking towards Yoongi as well. The way he had a stotic face hearing Taehyung talk made the police officer surprised.

"Min Yoongi, Mark Tuan, Choi Youngjae, Jackson Wang, Kim Yugyeom, Oh Sehun-"

"Did you say Oh Sehun?" Jongin asked cutting Taehyung off. They all had a curious gaze while Taehyung simply nodded in reply.

"He works as a rape and murder case detective."

They all went to the police station even after Jungkook suggested Taehyung should stay at the hospital. The detectives sent police officers to the cabin and house where Jinyoung used to stay, printing off the photos Yoongi had helped them. Along with where to find the files.

"

So while looking through any of thsi stuff did anything happen to make you believe there's someone still out there doing this type of stuff. Someone who knew Jinyoung?"

"Once I had got a text message from someone saying they knew I found out there 'secret', whatever that means." Jungkook replied pulling out his phone to show the text message.

"Yixing try to find out if you can trace this number."

"I'm on it."

The phone was passed to Yixing who worked quickly on his lap top, Taehyung slowly drank water knowing this was all too much of a mess to be fixed in one night. Mark with the rest of the boys slipped into the huge room where they all sat near a white board full of words and connections.

"Yugyeom said he would Skype to talk to police." Mark said instantly setting down his laptop in a hurry to turn it on.

"Can I use your guys wifi?"

"Sure, ask Yixing for the password. Yugyeom is one of the victims right? The one that lives in Japan?"

"Yes sir, Taehyung had a horrible feeling upon entering the basement while we found photos of Yugyeom."

Junmyeom tapped his pen against the notebook trying to connect eveything. Something was missing. Out of place even.

"Taehyung you said that he used Jungkook... What did you mean by that?"

"So I met Jinyoung through social media, he had photos up of his brother and him. Now when I first went to his house Jungkook was there playing video games. He didn't really care for me until Jinyoung told me why Jungkook was such a quiet kid, afraid of getting too close to someone."

The way the older ended the sentence made Jungkook grip the seats arm rest. Taehyung felt so deeply hurt not wanting to spill the story that wasn't his own, but knew he needed to.

"Jungkooks mom isn't his biological mother. He was the child of his fathers mistress. The way Jungkook found out was terrible, and the way his father made it seem was horrific."

"Horrific?"

"Jungkook was found laying in his fathers backyard. No clothes. No blankets. In the middle of october. Just a small envelope with a letter and his birth certificate." Taehyung reached out to touch Jungkooks hand that seemed to shake.

"My older brother told me awful stuff  whenever he got mad I touched something of his... 'You are  basically a waste of space, even your own mother didn't want you.' As a child I hated my older brother. I still do."

Mark looked up from his laptop to look at Jungkook. Yugyeom who was on the screen didn't know the story. In fact his own life at that time seemed like an ugly nightmare that he still can't wake up from.

"Well Yugyeom is on..."

The lap top was turned to face Suho, Jungkook, and Taehyung. Tears streamed down his face as he looked at a person who shared the same pain he did.

Taehyung as well had tears spilling over onto his tan cheeks. Yugyeom still had a baby face that reminded him of the past where he held the younger in his arms after a strong beating.

"Yugyeom... I'm so sorry-"

"You saved me Taehyung... There's nothing to say sorry about. I'm sorry that I left you there." He said cutting off the older who seemed to look different.

The way he remembered Taehyung was now replaced with a handsome man that looked healthy. No longer frail and weak looking.

"Mr.Kim is there any way you can come to South Korea soon? We really need you here to help file a report."

"Of course. I can try to catch a flight tomorrow morning."

"Great, thank you so much." Junmyeom said letting out a deep sigh looking at all the photos. Jongin rushed into the office with messy hair and wide eyes.

"Sehun is here. He brought Kyungsoo."

"Bring him in. I'm sure he would want to work on the case."

"They used a burner phone." Yixing groaned out of frustration. Loud foot steps came into the room, a tall male was the cause of the noise while a short man stood near him with doe like eyes.

"What area was the burner phone in?"

"Busan, but that doesn't mean they're still there. They could of left it there-"

"My brother and his boyfriend are staying in Busan for the weekend. I was supposed to meet them today but all of this came up..." Yoongi said with sharp eyes looking up at Sehun who was yet to say a word.

"Jeon Jinyoung is dead?"

Sehuns voice felt like a sharp knife cutting through the thick air full of secrets.

"Yes. He died several years ago. "

"God damnit... What about the other man?"

"Other man?" Junmyeom asked looking up with curiosity digging inside of him. So it wasn't just Taehyung and Yugyeom.

"Yes sir, a man that went by master. I've seen his face once but never knew his name-"

"Sehun you just helped solve this case..."
