"Time for you to figure out the Clue."

Jisoo's mouth widen in disbelief. Jisoo couldn't believe the words that taehyung just uttered. And even if Jisoo heard him right, she still couldn't believe that Taehyung would just help her even though they're supposed to be rivals.

"I beg your pardon?" Jisoo exclaimed, looking lost for words. "I don't think—"

"Trust me." Taehyung cut off, making Jisoo rigid. "Just place your clue out onto the moonlight."

Jisoo didn't move at first but when Taehyung tilted his head, urging her, Jisoo just sighed and did what she was told to do. And so, Jisoo aligned her crystal blue with the moon and when the light struck the ball, it glowed even more until Jisoo could see a constellation inside it.

"What's this?" Jisoo exclaimed, feeling overwhelmed by what was happening.

"Well, that's the problem." Taehyung answered. "I don't know."

Jisoo threw her head towards taehyung's direction. Jisoo scowled when she saw taehyung's face and somehow she felt amused by it. Jisoo noticed that everytime taehyung was annoyed or frustrated, he have this cute pout and creased on his forehead.

"What's so funny?" Taehyung glared.

"Hell, If you wanted to help me with the clue, you should have gone to it all the way." Jisoo snorted. "And here i thought you completely figured out the clue by now."

Taehyung was speechless, feeling embarrassed. Ever since he accidentally figured out about how to reveal the clue, he got excited to tell Jisoo about it, wanting to help her but he never got the chance to, since Jisoo was always surrounded by her friends or admirers.Taehyung would just usually watch her getting more agitated and stress about figuring out the clue and so Taehyung finally decided to tell Jisoo of what he knows and didn't even considered about figuring out themeaning of the said clue.

"Thanks." Jisoo mumbled which made Taehyung look up. "Thank you for telling me about this. And I guess it's my turn to help now, right?" Jisoo smiled gratefully.

Taehyung blinked, unable to say a word. Jisoo jumped when Taheyung turned his back on her. Taehyung couldn't help but get giddy inside and his face turned red. Jisoo just snickered, not knowing anything.

"So. Let's see." Jisoo said and lifted the crystal ball once again to align it with the moon light. "So I guess, we can only see this everytime the moon is at its peak. Night time, huh." Jisoo brought her hand to her chin, thinking. "So maybe this has something to do with the time and place."

"Place?" taehyung went to face jisoo again. "I don't get it. Why place? Time fits more perfectly."

"But time and place is always associated with one another, right? Even the who, what, and why are associated with it. But we already know the answers to those questions." Jisoo answered but taehyung just looked at her confusely. "Seriously?"

"What? I don't know that okay?" Taehyung huffed. "And hey, you told me that its your time to figure out the rest of the clue." He added.

"The who is obviously referring to us, the champions since we're the ones who needed to complete the task. The what, again is obvious. It talks about our task of getting our next clue. The why obviously talks about as to why we're doing the task and that's to win and have the eternal glory, etc. Etc. Etc." Jisoo explained. "So that's leaves the where and when."

"So?" Taehyung was looking more interested now.

"Mind you, this might be more trickier than we expect them to be." Jisoo started again. "But maybe, just maybe. I think I have an id—"
