"What do you think about him..?" Jimin pressed to Hoseok, looking at the older boy who was sitting on the armrest of his favorite couch.

Jimin had gone to Hoseok's house to discuss the topic of Taehyung, and Jennie's suicide.

"He seems...broken? I mean, who wouldn't be. The most shocking thing is how did he not know his own girlfriend was suicidal? I know people can mask things well but there had to be at least some signs." Hoseok balanced the end of his pen he had been playing with in between his teeth, thinking more.

"And where was he the day she died anyways?" He added, squinting his brown eyes some as he turned to look back at Jimin.

"I don't know...that's why I came here to ask you. I wasn't for sure if you knew anything else or not." Jimin rested both his elbows on the end of his knees, holding his face in his hands.

"I wonder if we would find any signs of her being depressed by looking at her Instagram posts?" Jimin questioned to Hoseok, quickly pulling out his phone.

"Maybe so, people do that a lot to vent." Hoseok hopped from the armrest, then sliding his way beside Jimin and gently hovering over his shoulder to see his phone.

"Okay, here we go." Jimin mumbled quietly, going to Jennie's account and clicking the last picture she posted before dying. It was a photo she took during one of their school days, outside and in the sun. She was smiling as the sunlight had a slight glare on her face.

Her caption read: 'Can't wait for tomorrow! We don't have school and I get to hang w/ my bf. I got these sunny vibes with me the rest of the week :)'

Jimin didn't think much of it, starting to scroll to the next photo when Hoseok stopped him.

"Wait."

"Hm?" Jimin hummed confusingly.

"She said, "I get to hang with my boyfriend". And look at the date on it..." Hoseok pointed to the screen.

"Three days ago? Almost four days?"

"And, that's the day before she died. She said she was going to hang out with her boyfriend which is, Taehyung. So? She committed suicide in front of him or?" Hoseok felt a bad vibe come over him.

Jimin gained an uncomfortable smile on his face.

"Of course she wouldn't. Just because they hanged out doesn't mean..." Jimin trailed off his unfinished sentence.

"She died around ten after, early morning. They /always/ hang out early. Taehyung is busy in the evenings. And if he was there when she died..."

Jimin stood up, shaking his head. "Stop."

"She didn't commit suicide..." Hoseok was onto something.

"You-You don't know that!!! Don't fucking believe Rosè! You never know when someone is struggling!" Jimin started tearing up, for some reason.

"You really think she'd commit suicide in front of Taehyung, Jimin?! You think she choked herself?! On her own?!?!?" Hoseok stood up too, his eyes piercing deeply into Jimin's teary orbs.

"But didn't Jungkook try to do shit to Taehyung? Jennie got upset and she got him beat up, and you don't think maybe /that/ has something to do with why she committed suicide????" Jimin growled, frustratingly running his hand through his hair. "Maybe because people are all over her fucking boyfriend and she's scared of losing him!"

"And you think she didn't do the same to other guys? I knew half the shit she did, but I didn't tell Taehyung because I knew it'd kill him. I truly believe she was happy with herself, and I will believe Rosè because she was closer to Jennie than what you ever were." Hoseok lowered his voice.

"So what are you implying, Hoseok?" Jimin raised his eyebrows, shakily taking in a breath.

"I think Taehyung murdered her." Hoseok's words hit Jimin's ears flatly. "I mean we have fucking evidence." He added, referring to Jennie's Instagtam post.

Jimin just started laughing hysterically, yet he was crying at the same time.

"You're insane. He would never. That's too farfetched, Hoseok. Seriously." Jimin shoved his phone back into his pocket, heading for Hoseok's front door to leave.

"Is it?"

Jimin froze.

"Did you see the way he treated Yoongi when we went on that group trip all together? Remember how he beat up Yoongi over being an asshole to Jungkook? I thought he was out of his mind then. He scared the hell out of all of us. Really think. Is it /that farfetched/?" Hoseok went clillingly calm while speaking.

Jimin scoffed. "Yeah right, totally believe you." He said sarcastically, heading out Hoseok's door and walking out to the road to head back home. He didn't live too far from Hoseok's house so he could just walk back.

Was he crazy or some shit? Jimin could never imagine Taehyung murdering someone. Seriously, it was laughable. And thinking about it more made Jimin stop crying.

Pfft, how silly. Jimin just smiled, knowing Hoseok's theory was bullshit as he walked home.

The back of his mind didn't think it was bullshit.
