"So... Jungkook didn't know?" I asked as I caught Yoongi's eyes by the mirror of his SUV. I'm currently at the back seat with Johnnie and yes, we are in a drive. "You know..about the history of his parents' death? I mean uh, your mom and his dad's death?"

Hoseok looked at me from the passenger seat and spoke instead of Yoongi whose mind is occupied, "You can just call her Mrs. S you know. 'Your mom' is boring."

I guess he's trying to lighten the mood. I appreciate that.

"Wow, I can't believe you can still add jokes in your speech despite this situation," Johnnie chuckled beside me. Hoseok soon joined in and I just stared outside the window.

It's already past 9 pm and we're in a convoy - Yoongi's car upfront and Seokjin's trailing meters away behind us. I have talked with him in the house when he arrived after hearing about all this fucked up situation from Taehyung over the phone and I can tell he is just really tired about the whole situation so Namjoon volunteered to drive his car which I was supposed to be in. Johnnie is nowhere near relaxed when we filled him up with the new information and he kept eyeing their guns on the table. He was shocked and I am beyond bewildered. Not a minute after Taehyung contacted both, he soon received a message saying that Jungkook's at Aunt Liz's place at the cliff and yes, we are driving to pick him up and probably leave the place for good.

"You didn't answer my question though." I responded blowing my breath by the cold window forming a white circle in the process.

"Well," Yoongi started " I guess he did found out the time we all did."

"That....we are not sure of." Hoseok added glancing at Yoongi.

"What do you mean?"

"Let's just say, he was really aggressive and secretive when he first moved to us in Seoul. Oftentimes, he's nowhere to be found and would only come home on midnights. He doesn't talk that much and prefers to be left alone. He easily conceals himself." Hoseok replied as I exchanged looks with Johnnie and he just shrugs.

"He does that often when he's with me years ago." Johnnie says. "He leaves the house when he knows I'm already asleep. I caught him sneaking out once when I pretended to snore. I followed him out of the house and he just disappears. It's really strange. I thought he's playing a prank on me but as I frequently caught him leaving our room, I knew he wasn't. He's not stealing though, I guarantee. He doesn't have anything with him when he returns. He's a good person."

"You didn't bother asking him?"

"No way," he shakes his head disbelievingly. "I assumed he's just maybe exploring or something or maybe going back to his house."

"Hmmm." I heard Yoongi hum in response. "Why though. Even in Seoul, he does that."

"I didn't know it was that serious." Johnnie continues, "..until now. I mean, we were sixteen back then and God, it was two years later when he lost his parents so that must've been the case."

"After Boston though he wasn't like that anymore." Hoseok stated. "He helped our company grow but when his parents died in a crash, he was never home entirely during the days. My assumption was, maybe he just misses his home here in Busan."

"No no," Johnnie draws the attention to him again. "He never went back home since he's gone to Seoul. Never. Except two years ago when he said he had a business trip or whatever. Back then, he didn't really even visit his old home. He just visited mom and I in the resto. I know since I took care of their house and changed every lock and knob. I think it is just this whole feature thing that he came back...again."
