His Killer | KOOKV ✔

Fifteen

Location: Seoul Police Station
Time: 10:21 pm

Jimin jumped out of his seat, eyes blinking away sleep at the sudden ringing of the phone in the officer's desk.

He stretched his arm, feeling the numbness creeping through that particular area. He looked at his side, seeing Jin still has his eyes closed, oblivious of the loud sound coming from the unanswered phone.

Officer Lee came out a bit late, he has been repeatedly watching the torture video the whole time, trying to find clues of the victim's location in case the call from the informant turned out to be wrong.

There has been no updates from Namjoon's team who responded to the call, and it's been over 2 hours since the time the suspect mentioned killing the victim.

Officer Lee lifted the telephone, his eyes settling on the two males in the lobby of the station.

"Officer Lee speaking." He mumbles as he listened to the other line.

There was a bit of chaotic sound coming from the other line and the officer could barely hear the voice of his chief who sounded somewhat frantic.

The officer could make out the loud sound of siren coming from the background with loads of voices from other people.

He listened carefully to Namjoon, and his eyes automatically trailed down Jimin who has his curious eyes settled on him.

The officer nodded his head as if he could be seen by the chief from the other line. He lets Namjoon finish before putting back the phone on the cradle.

As soon as he steps away from the desk, Jimin asked him with hopeful eyes.

"Is that officer Namjoon? Were they able to find Tae?"

Jimin saw how the officer's eyes lowered on the floor and sighed.

"H-hey..officer.." Jimin could see how the officer's facade turned emphatic towards him. He could feel it.

There's something wrong.

Jin suddenly stirred from his sleep, hearing Jimin's voice which heightened an octave from too much anxiety.

"Officer, have they found him?" Jimin inquired, voice echoing inside the station.

Officer Lee sighed once more before speaking the words both of them really don't want to hear at the moment.

"I'm sorry."

Jimin knotted his forehead, his heart started beating fast as he clutched on Jin's hand over his lap.

"W-why?.. What's going on?" Jin stuttered, finally catching up on the things he missed.

Officer Lee came forward to them. "Chief Namjoon called and he wants the forensic team in the area."

"Oh God!" Jimin covered his mouth with his quivering hands as tears start to form in his eyes.

"He said they found a dead body inside the warehouse, burnt from the explosion." Lee responded, serious eyes settling on the blonde in front of him.

"D-don't tell me... T-tae?" Jin barely made a whisper as tears start to trickle down his cheeks.

Lee shakes his head. "It's still unidentified. The body....it's burnt... badly burnt."

Jimin suppressed his sobs, trying not to end up hysterically screaming at the idea of Taehyung... dying.

"O-oh God!" He cried out, trying his best not to pass out from too much anxiety. He firmly clutched Jin's shivering hands, wanting to feel comfort in them.
