"The government has increased the reward for those who can find the famous arsonist, Kim Taehyung. It has been increased into 1 Million won. So for those people who can find him will be automatically given the expected reward. Thank you," the police inspector enunciated in the news wherein he was being interviewed by countless of reporters surrounding him.

"What's with this guy? He's always in the news in any channels?!" Someone muttered under his breath, wearing a formal attire, getting ready for his work. "Oh well. Time to work," he snapped.

That 'someone' made his way out from his house and finally took his leave.

Jimin was on Jungkook's studio with the owner of it. They were working several photos and videos that the company has given them recently.

They left Taehyung in the apartment, not because they dont want him to be with them but their work was a bit confidential. The company was really strict to their employees in terms of confidential files owned by the company. They cannot easily let someone to know about it especially its a business they were working on.

The photos and videos that they both were working, was the concept photos and videos of a certain girl group released by the company. Although the girl group did not debuted yet but they were planned to debut this coming 2 months. The members of that planned girl group knew their debut date but its up to the company if they will let them debut successfully or not.

"Hey Jimin hyung?" Jungkook called Jimin who happens to be at his sofa, working something on his laptop. Jimin hummed in response. "Take a look of this clip. Is it okay? What do you think?" He asked him confusely.

Jimin took a glance to his computer. The video clip started playing as soon as Jungkook clicked the play button. "You know, you can add some effects after she jumped off in the bed. Like CGI-Wait what is the concept again?" He suggested an idea then asked him during his last sentence.

"Dark Concept, specifically Dark Love," Jungkook replied calmly, still looking on his monitor.

"Then maybe you can add CGI like the universe, stars, moon or anything that suits the concept! Aish! I wish Namjoon-hyung is here. He could really help us at this moment," Jimin continued his suggestion.

Jungkook clicked something on his computer. "이렇게?" He asked Jimin then showed it to him what he just did to the video clip.

(이렇게 - ireohke means 'like this?')

Jimin nodded. "그레!" He exclaimed, answering Jungkook's question.

(그레 - kure means 'that's right')

The room then became pregnant with silence and its deafening Jimin. He was editing the photos while Jungkook was editing the videos so Jungkook cant feel the deafening silence that Jimin felt.

Jungkook suddenly talked something to Jimin which made him flinch a little. "Hyung..." he called him.

Jimin yanked in surprise. "Jesus Kookie!" He said.

"Hyung," Jungkook paused. "Do you really know the reason why I moved in?" Asked he.

Jimin looked weirdly at him, raising an eyebrow. "No?" He answered, partially asking him.

Jungkook circled his swivel chair to face Jimin who was sitting on the sofa beside him. He sighed before saying something.  "Taehyung," he gave Jimin a hint of his reason.

"Yeah? What about him?" Jimin asked confusely. He snapped his fingers as he remembered something. "Oh yeah! You moved in my apartment because you want to be more friends with him? Wait-Correct me if I'm wrong..."

"No. Aside about that!"

"Eh? Aside about that?" Jungkook nodded at Jimin's question.

Jimin scratched his hair. "Stop the mind games already! Tell me!"

Jungkook just sighed. "Okay. I moved in because there is something in Taehyung that I really need to know. Something is fishy about him. Dont you feel it?"

Jimin leaned back to the sofa. "Yeah. I felt it several times,"

Jungkook looked at him. "Then why didnt you kick him out already? What if he is a criminal or something?"

Jimin looked at hin intently. "I cant do that! He is a friend!"

"Then atleast tell me why hyung. He is a weirdo. Why did you decided to keep him?"

Jimin sighed. "I dont know. I just have this feeling in me that we will be great friends someday... Even with a short period of time, I felt he treated me as his bestfriend like the way I do..." he explained his side, almost pausing in between of his sentences.

"Yeah I agree with you. And I think, he didnt meant burning my camera..."

"Wait! How did you know about that?"

"I found it on our neighbor's trashbin. That was an accident though, that was when I was going to throw my garbages after several hours of searching my camera and then voila! I found it! But it was burned."

Jimin eyed him. "How can you be so sure it was your camera?"

"Dude, I've known my cameras, every inch of it, I know how it looks like. And the skeleton of it is the same as my camera-Shh! Lemme finish first!" Jungkook shushed Jimin as he was going to say something about it. "And one more shocking thing, the brand of it is still visible. Here lemme show you the picture I took!" He said, getting his phone on the desk and scanned something on it and afterwards, he showed Jimin a picture. It was the picture - he took - of the burnt camera.

Jimin scanned the picture, zooming in and zooming out, analyzing every pixels of the image. "Yeah..." he said, agreeing to Jungkook. "I remembered this. Its your camera you bought not a long time ago!" He commented in falsetto, returning Jungkook's phone.

Jungkook placed his phone on the pockets of his black hoodie before saying something. "Told you. And the time when I asked him, he looked away from my eyes and answered 'no' to me as if he was lying something or he knew something that I didnt," Jungkook said, empasizing the word 'no'. Jimin nodded at him. "But its okay. Really. I think he has something on him that we didnt know. Something on him that even himself cant control. Something that is fishy and we both can smell it," he cooed.

Jimin looked at his phone, seeking for the time at that moment. As soon as he was satisfied of the given answer from the phone, he looked back to Jungkook who was waiting patiently at his reply. "Yeah. And I'm still waiting for the right time. But I dont know when," he swallowed his saliva. "If our conclusion may be true then maybe I will try to help him from doing it. I will help him to stop. I just dont know what has gotten into me but I really want to help him. Because he is my friend..."

"And friends always helps each other no matter what!" Jungkook and Jimin cooed in unison then they both smiled afterwards.

"We're friends right? I know we are and that's one of the reasons why I have to help him. If ever it is true... If ever our conclusions are true..." Jimin commented on his mind.
