Jihyun had always been secretive. You were only one of many of those secrets. But when MC gets caught in Mint Eye's trap and he goes to rescue her, some of those secrets starting coming into the light.
"Jihyun? JIHYUN??!!" You yelled into the phone. "Oh my God."
You weren't sure what to do next, so you returned to the group.
Muse has logged on.
Yoosung★: MUSE! You haven't responded to my texts!
Jumin Han: I confirmed it. It is true.
ZEN: Wow... Lucky V I guess
Muse: SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO JIHYUN
Yoosung★: WHAT!!!?!!!!
ZEN: Did something happen while he was trying to get MC back?
Jaehee Kang has logged on.
Jaehee Kang: Please give us a full update
Yoosung★: Yes! Please!
Jumin Han: I will send a full force out to the compound.
Muse: We were talking on the phone and he said that MC didn't want to come home. She liked Rika too much. And so I asked if he would be returning soon.
Muse: And then the line cut off. I think he got found out.
Jumin Han: ...Rika? You must be mistaken. She's passed away.
707 has logged on.
707: You can't send anyone in.
707: V told me that if anything happened to him, to abandon him. He said the cult had a contingency plan for if they got raided.
Jaehee Kang: Contingency? Rika?
707: Yeah...
707:A type of... Jonestown situation
Jumin Han: I have a hard time accepting this... I also don't know how I feel about Rika being alive...
Jumin Han: But if he told you that...
Yoosung★: Rika would never do that!
Yoosung★: Rika's... alive?
Yoosung★: WHY IS EVERYONE GANGING UP ON RIKA? IF SHE'S ALIVE WE HAVE TO GO TO HER. SHE NEEDS OUT HELP!!!
ZEN: This is a lot to take in...
ZEN: The last time we knew, we attended Rika's funeral...
ZEN: Muse...
ZEN: Can you prove that Rika is alive?
Muse:

Yoosung★: How do we know that this is recent?!?!
Jumin Han: It seems it was taken in secret. Her hair is longer. That dress seems new.
ZEN: Oh God...
Jaehee Kang: I... assume this is all the proof we need. What do we do next?
707: Nothing.
Muse: No...
Muse: I can't do that...
Muse: I WON'T LEAVE HIM WITH HER
Yoosung★: I don't like this!!!
Yoosung★: I just can't believe Rika would fake her death!
Yoosung★: I have to go there. I have to see for myself.
707: If you do that, then Rika really will die.
Yoosung★: NO! Not if I talk to her! We're cousins!
Jumin Han: Yoosung, please get a hold of yourself.
Yoosung★: You don't understand!
Yoosung★: Rika was never like this and I refuse to believe it now!
Muse: Rika was always like this.
Jaehee Kang: What do you mean? I had assumed you had only been dating V as of recently. He was very... reclusive... after Rika's funeral.
Muse: I've known him since they both started dating. And within months, she was like this.
Jumin: What are you trying to say?
Muse: I cannot leave Jihyun with her. She's the one who blinded him.
Yoosung has logged off.
Zen: Blinded?...
Muse: ...I thought you all knew that Jihyun was going blind.
Muse has logged off.
"FUCK!" You threw your phone at the bed. "This is so fucking hard when none of them know anything about Jihyun! UGH! I can't fucking leave him there!"
And that was the right thought. Because at that very minute, V was being locked in a cell in the basement of the compound, convulsing from the injection of something into his bloodstream.
