Murders Around Seoul

Ch. 1

"And another group of people, 10 young adults were found dead this evening in an abandoned gas station in the capital of South Korea. Please be mindful of your loved ones and stay with them at all times, we'll update you more about what we know about these murders"

Jimin had shut the tv off. This all stressed him, stressed him too much to the point he thought he was going paranoid. He sighed as he leaned back on the leather couch before looking at Taehyung, the taller male sitting next to him. "This is all so.. so shocking" he admitted.

Yoongi, who was in the kitchen finding something to eat, overheard everything but agreed as well, "That's already 67 people in the span of 4 months. It's disgusting how someone really has the time and mind to do these sorts of actions.. absolutely disgusting" he mumbled.

Jimin and Taehyung could only nod in agreement, blocking out the sound of the TV that was just playing advertisements now. After a while, Namjoon walked to the kitchen from his room, sighing as his eyes had dark circles around them, indicating a lack of sleep.

"Namjoon.. did you-." Jimin spoke before being cut off.

"Yea. I did stay up, again.." Namjoon groaned in disappointment of himself, opening the fridge and getting an iced coffee he had in there from last night.

Yoongi glared at him and shook his head, "You know staying up for that long isn't healthy, and you don't have an excuse. You need to fucking rest" he mumbled, fixing himself a bowl of cereal to eat.

Namjoon could only squint and scoff as he set his coffee down, "I-I know! I know.. but.. goddammit.. all these deaths just keep me lying awake at night. I can't sleep, not with the mindset that if I close my eyes for even one second, my life will be over. O-or even worse, one of yours will be over, and I feel like I'm going to blame myself for it because I wasn't fucking awake to protect you"

Everyone stayed silent as they heard Namjoon out. Taehyung blinked a few times and looked down to fiddle with his fingers, understanding how the other felt in a way. At this time, Hoseok had gotten out of the shower and dried off his hair, peeking at the notification on his phone.

Our Stupid Elder😔‼️
Meet me outside, now

Hoseok stared at his phone for a moment and rolled his eyes slightly. He dried off the water that was dripping on his body before humming softly and getting ready for the day. Once he at least got his boxers on he texted the other back.

Is it really that important that I have to go outside in this fucking chilling weather?

Hoseok continued getting himself ready, putting on a green wool sweater to keep him warm. He finished off his "look" with some black, washed out, ripped jeans before putting on socks with little animals on them. He waited to hear the ding from his phone, clearly Jin had texted him back very lovingly.

Our Stupid Elder😔‼️

Our Stupid Elder😔‼️

"For fucks sake Namjoon, we're all gonna be fine alright? Now if you'll do us all a big favor go wake Jungkook up, that little asshole made me read him a bedtime story- a bedtime story so he'd go to sleep" Yoongi emphasized the same phrase to show his annoyance. "He's fucking 21! Already able to drink alcohol legally but he still decides to act like a child" he grumbled and took his cereal towards his room.

Jimin blinked a few times, along with Taehyung to hear the other so annoyed. "I-I still like bedtime stories.. they're pretty nice actually" Jimin whispered.

"Yea I know you do, you force me to read them" Taehyung whispered back and let out a quiet laugh. Jimin glared at him even though he knew it was true.

Namjoon sighed as he left his coffee on the counter. He made his way upstairs, while doing so Hoseok was almost tripping down and running towards the door. "The fuc-." "NO TIME TO EXPLAIN, GOTTA BLAST" Hoseok yelled out and shut the door behind him once he got out of the house. Namjoon's eyes widened at that as he tried to shrug it off and continued making his way upstairs and into the hallway that lead to a bunch of rooms. He went towards Jungkook's room, which had a framed bunny picture on the door, Namjoon always thought it was cute. He gently knocked on the door, leaning his ear close to the door as well.

"Jungkook-ah~? Wake up before Yoongi gets even more pissed at you" Namjoon joked and laughed.

Nothing.

Namjoon raised his eyebrow and knocked again, "Jungkook~ cmon 'little asshole'"

Nothing again.

Namjoon tilted his head and turned the doorknob as he entered the room, "alright then I'm assuming you're still sleeping so wake the fuck up you-" he paused. There was no one in the room. He looked around, Jungkook wasn't in his bathroom, nor was he obviously laying down in his bed. He even checked the closet, you never know when that kid's gonna come out one day. He almost tripped on a box sticking out from underneath the bed, which he gently lowered himself to his knees to check. "Huh?" He hesitated on opening the box, it was Jungkook's stuff after all, not his own property to look through. And he'd feel guilty if he did in fact open it, but it seemed strange. He had an odd feeling towards the box, and he sat in silence as he stared at it. The box had marks all over it and dust, he rubbed his finger along the sides. He gently shaked it, rattling and what seemed like papers could be heard inside. "Hm.. Jungkook doesn't normally keep stuff like this if it's just like memory photos or something.."He looked around for a moment before fixing his vision on the box again, slightly rattling it once more. 

He paused and sighed, "ah fuck it, what's the worst that can happen.. it's just a stupid box.." he mumbled under his breath as he slowly lifted up the lid.
