Nancy Drew

Jennie was met outside the resort to the sound of sirens, grabbing her thin flannel over her pajamas.

"Wh—" She swallowed thickly, glancing to the other girls. "What happened?"

"Someone got shot." Chaeyoung whispered, wind blowing harshly against her hair. "Jimin and I came out here to talk, and uh...we heard a gun shot."

"Who called the cops?"

"I don't know." Lisa muttered. "Not us."

"Where's Jisoo?"

"Right here." The other girl chimed, sliding next to Jennie. "And I have no idea what to say."

"Can we all agree we weren't a part of this?" Taehyung asked. "Because with Aeja, she really made it seem like one of us was involved when we really weren't."

There was a silence, then Yoongi scoffed. "You could not have possibly been more shady Taehyung."

"I just want a clear cut answer!"

"Well I didn't do it!" He snapped back. Hoseok held out a hand.

"Guy, guys...stop it. Arguing isn't going to help at all right now. Just breathe."

"Who died?" Chaeyoung asked to Namjoon. "Do you know?"

"Or who fired the shot, that's the better question." Jungkook crossed his arms from the cold. "How can we say someone died for sure?"

"That's true." Namjoon pointed out. "How do we know it's even A?"

"Oh it's definitely A. A is here, I know they are."

"Lisa, how would you know if—" Jennie was cut off when the girl held up her hand to silence her.

"A gave me a fucking massage. Just knowing I have been in close perimeters with that person so many times makes me nauseous. I know they're here."

Jennie sighed. "Jisoo, was Dahyun at her room with you?"

"Oh, I wasn't in my room."

"Huh?" Chaeyoung. "You said you were going to be there all night."

"I mean, that's what I said originally..." She laughed awkwardly. "There was a slight change of plans."

Jin shrugged when the rest of them glanced at him scrutinizingly.

"What? Our relationship has been slightly complicated lately."

"...Whatever." Jimin rolled his eyes. "Isn't it strange how A has a thing for trees? Like first Tzuyu and Aeja in the woods. Then this person hit Lisa by a car near the woods. Now someone got shot?"

"Don't mind me," Jisoo muttered lowly to Jennie. "But look to your left."

She was gesturing to Wendy Son, who watched the scene unfold without a single phased expression. She switched on her phone, and after twiddling with it for a few seconds, she set it aside.

"I don't trust her."

"Neither do I."

"You think she's involved?"

"I'm betting she is." Jennie sighed. "Never trusted that bitch, why would any of us trust her now? Especially now that she's involved with my brother. What else is she hiding?"

Suddenly, her phone vibrated—following with the rest of theirs. Lisa groaned, pulling it out.

Jungoo is right, who's to say she's dead?
💋A

"Who's dead?" Hoseok questioned. "Whoever got shot out here or Aeja?"

"I saw Aeja's dead body—we all saw it." Lisa butted in. "It definitely has to be this person."

"I wasn't in my room, but I know Dahyun had disappeared after dinner. I didn't think much of it...but she's not here now."

Lisa's eyes darted up. "You think she got killed?"

"I'm not even surprised." Chaeyoung muttered. "Lord knows what she was hiding."

Taehyung ran a hand through his hair. "You're right. It just seems like this death was prolonged...as if A was waiting for us to find Hoseok so they could officially start the madness."

"Alright Nancy Drew," Jennie snorted. "Looks like we finally have a mystery on our hands."
