'Master!', yelled V in astonishment more louder than I had in my thoughts.

My jaw was dropped with fingers placed barely on my lips. In utter surprise my eyebrows and eyes raised and widen. Holy Perk!

I closed my mouth and had intentions of taking advantage of this situation. If hyung is the master, then I wouldn't have to answer stupid riddles anymore. Find the seven flowering knights, stop father, gain peace, world tour... But first, I need to move out of the fantasy world and take action.

I stood up, 'Master?' I asked him.

To his, he smile with a sigh and closed eyes that lasted for an millisecond, 'Ya, long memories', he said while still holding somewhat tired grin.

'What memories?', I asked curiously and V joined by my side too, 'Hyung, you never told me you are master?', he asked desperately.

Hyung smile never faded but changed somewhere between shallow and nostalgic. I couldn't seem to read his face.

'How are you Master Jin?', asked the book, which it isn't allowed to. Cheater...

'I am fine', answered hyung and sadly looked down.

It asked yet another question to him, 'How is your famil....' but was shushed in the middle.

I was getting perplexed at his sudden change of behaviour but yet the only question that rang bell inside my brain was - Master!

'Why did it called you master?', I hesitantly asked.

He sighed and answered, 'Long story...' wait don't skip out, I yelled but luckily he didn't, 'This book was once owned by us' he said and stopped creating a massive ocean of silence that we could even hear our heartbeat.

'But what is this doing here?', he asked us and did looked at us for a quick answer.

Normally, I could have answered him by adding another to the pile of lies but that look he had thrown not only made me nervous but also V.

'For Study...' I jittered nervously and at the same time did V nervously, 'From queen's palace'

What a punk! I groaned inside my brain and wanted to pull of V's hair. This little sock... I gritted my teeths.

Hyung raised an eyebrow which I wouldn't lie was pretty iconic. Seeing a handsome man rasing his eyebrow at us, just like in theatres. How Iconic...
But I couldn't risk my mouth getting watered instead focus to dodge out this situation. What do I do?

'I burrowed this book from the library', I said and smile awkwardly. Believe...

'Which library?', he asked but why did he, usually he'd except what I saw. Something's gotten into my lovely hyung, first ignoring me for V and now attacking with question.

I gulped as I felt threatening sweat ran down my forehead, with all courage left I uttered out, 'Nearby Library', and overpowering my voice was, you guess it right, 'Royal library'

I didn't know for what to cry, because there isn't anything like royal library or why this V can't keep his V on his finger. But I gotta save my butt from this situation anyhow. I turned to V with the most pleasant smile I can carry, although fake and said, 'Dear V, we don't need to hide from hyung', I said lovingly and added by embracing my palm on his shoulder, 'Don't lie'

'So do you', he said with a seriously blank and unreadable face, which I wanted to slap so hard that all of his teeth were to fell on the floor with a  crackling sound and bruises of blood stains splashed as far as eye go.

But his fan-base would kill me of alive...

I turned to hyung and said, 'We just burrowed it, it was kinda interesting', I said and rubbed my neck slightly.

He smiled and said, 'Well, play but it surely will blow your mind'

I actually degenerated my fake smile and an actual one rose up just after he finished up. I didn't even knew when it turned to grin, that my teeths were visible.

'We wanted to know something but this book keeps asking riddles, since you're the master please bent the rules', I requested politely and I knew anything to hyung with a please is bAAm.

He chuckled for a second before considering my request, 'It just calls me master for some reason, it doesn't mean I am the owner or what', he said and giggled off holding his belly.

I rolled my eyes at V and gestured him with my face to bring judgement upon this situation. The case should he in out favour. V came into play although I seriously doubt Mr. 4D, yet had no other choice.

'Hyung, can you solve the riddles asked by this book?', asked V and it bought a smile at hyung's face, he bifurcated his lips but before he can answer out this question, 'He'd always answer the right', said Mr. Ahmin to which hyung rubbed the back of his head, more like not wanted himself to be considered pro when he truly is.

'Let's begin', It said terrifically targeting our goosebumps. A deep silence was to shunned the ears, as we watched it say,

'I was taking a warm shower, which soothe my muscles and  kill the ache and stains. As I was deeply indulged with closed eyes and droplets of water gently tapping against my face, wetting my long black thread hair, I heard a loud scream. My eyes shut out in a go and I ran furiously outside naked. In a glance I saw my mother and sister's body laying dead on the floor, blood choked out of their mouth and bellies. Periphery to them stood a burglar with a mouth covered by a dark scarf and so does his body with black. Before the blood-stained knife I threw at him could reach penetrate his belly, he jumped by the window and the knife hit the wall'

For a minute or long we were soaked into the world we heard of but couldn't force back into the present. I blinked my eyes several times before Mr. Ahmin asked, 'Who murdered the daughter and her mother?'

My mouth were to eagerly utter the burglar but I had to place my palm over them in order to not spit out and waste chances. Luckily, V was ghost-quit too. I anticipated for hyung to answer out this question but he was in a deep thought.

'Hyung, can you guess the answer?', I asked as lightly as I could so I didn't break his concentration.

He looked at me and uttered his plump lips, '...
