(using this font for seokjin's dialogues because only minseo can hear him. it'd be less confusing this way.)

"Minseo, what are you doing here alone on the floor?"

Seokjin recognized that deep husky tone. He whipped his head to the left to find his best friend, namjoon, or known as rm, standing at the door dumbfounded and perplexed.

"Namjoon! Hi..um what are you doing here at this hour?"

"I should be asking you the same thing," he said in a serious tone. "Is it that Kim Seokjin case again? I told you not to meddle in this already, he committed suicide, that's it there's no other explanation!"

Out of everyone i expected you to be suspicious about this, but now you're ruling this off as a suicide?

"Please namjoon, believe me, Seokjin didn't hang himself. It was Park-"

"No! I don't want hear it don't you dare finish that sentence!"

Seokjin was baffled. Namjoon was a guy with a 148 IQ, a master logician and most importantly, the person who understood him the most.

Namjoon would never believe this bullshit, he knows that i would never do something so reckless. Who is he now? Why is he so adamant? Doesn't he want to know the truth behind my death?

"Minseo, ask him if he knows me."

"Namjoon...did you know Seokjin personally?"

"No."

"He's lying. He's my best friend."

Minseo seemed a bit shocked at first, at the fact that they were best friends. but then again, there were 7 people in his group, Namjoon could've been one of them.

"Why are you lying?" Minseo asked namjoon.

"Why does it matter?" Namjoon said nonchalantly.

"It matters namjoon! Your best friend is dead but you're not willing to help him find justice?"

"How do you know he's my best friend?!"

Minseo looked to Seokjin for permission, wanting to reveal the truth to Namjoon.

"No, don't tell him. Not yet."

Minseo nodded.

"I did my research. Aren't you in his friendship group? 7 guys altogether? You guys were so close."

Namjoon turned his head to the side, avoiding minseo's glance, tears of vulnerability welled under his eyelids, masked by his charismatic exterior, as if he couldn't accept the fact that their friendship group has been completely fucked up after seokjin's death. As if he couldn't bring it to himself to be reminded about their pure friendship and undying love for each other.

"It's none of your business."

"He's hiding something."

"What are you hiding Namjoon?"

"Something." Namjoon said quickly.

"Can you please spill? It's getting really annoying, you know."

"We all keep secrets for a reason, Minseo. and I intend on keeping mine."
