Killer Unknown || BTS

9. I'll explain everything.

Taehyung approaches me at a steady pace. I desperately look around for an escape route, but I've somehow succeeded to run myself into a corner. Do I try to make a run for it? Do I tackle him down? What the hell do I do?! He's got my gun too!

"Relax, Hyung. I'm not gonna kill you... yet," Taehyung says with a victorious smile. "Don't you wanna know how and why I did it?"

I don't answer and just slowly back away as he comes closer. My back hits the railing and I have nowhere to run anymore. My only option is to attack him when he's close enough, but how do I do that when he's pointing a gun at me and is clearly not afraid to use it? But then again who cares if he shoots me if I'm going to die either way? I might as well make a run for it and hope for the best.

Taehyung is only a few meters away when I gather my energy and sprint off. His reaction is faster than I'd ever imagined and he lands a bullet right through my left knee. I helplessly fall down to the ground and try my best to get up again, but Taehyung sets his foot on my back and forces me back down.

"I suggest you calm down before I make things worse for you," he says intimidatingly.

I reluctantly stops struggling and he lifts me up by the back of my coat and drags me back towards the railing and shoves me against it. I hit my head pretty hard, but it's absolutely nothing compared to the pain in my knee.

"Alright then," I hiss at him. "Tell me everything."

"Very well," he says and leans against the metal pipes while still keeping the gun aimed towards me. "Let's start from the beginning, shall we? Jimin. You already know exactly what happened to him, don't you? I mean, it was your car after all."

I look up at him in shock, but his face shows no emotion whatsoever.

"Y-you knew all along? How?" I ask nervously.

"I wanna hear you say it. Tell me who killed Jimin."

I look down at the ground, not wanting to say it out loud, but I have no choice.

"...Yoonji. Yoonji killed Jimin," I eventually whisper.

"Exactly. And that's why we're here right now. That stupid underage bitch stole your car, went drinking with her friends and drove on a street where cars aren't even allowed. Jimin died because of her. He'd done absolutely nothing wrong. The best person this earth will ever see was killed because of your dumb sister!"

"But how did you figure it out?"

Taehyung laughs mockingly at me.

"Anyone with two brain cells could figure that out. First Jimin told me in the ambulance, and then the security footage mysteriously went missing after you said you'd take care of it."

"That doesn't specifically mean that I did it! Anyone could've gotten their hands on that footage if they really wanted to!" I say defensively.

All amusement drains from his face and he crouches down in front of me with the gun against my forehead.

"Do I really need to spell out everything for you? Do you realize how Jimin's death tore me apart? He was my everything and your sister took him away from me. In the ambulance he told me something else too. Do you know what he said? He said 'thank you for being there for me'. I don't think you realize how much that fucked me up. He thanked me even though I did absolutely nothing for him. After he died I spent several days locked in my apartment thinking about how I would be better off joining him, but then it hit me: If I couldn't save him, then I can at least make the person at fault suffer. So I dedicated my time to finding out exactly who hit him and quickly came to the conclusion that it could be none other than Yoonji. The car was a black Toyota that I already knew you had one, and then the fact that Jimin said her name."
