i ran home. i had to tell jungkook.

as soon as i got home, i busted in like a crazy man. "jungkook! jeon jungkook!"

he came out of his room, his hair was messy and his eyes were halfway open, "hyung?"

shit. i didn't even realize how late it might've been by now.

"jungkook, i was out. a-and i saw this car. this red car! and it looked so familiar i swear to god!"

"how can you swear to god hyung? you're an atheist."

"jungkook i'm fucking serious! it's a red car, i don't know where i've seen it but i've seen it."

jungkook sighed, "you smell like alcohol hyung..."

"y-yeah...i may have drank a bottle of soju...but that's not the point!"

"hyung, you drank a bottle of soju."

i furrowed my eyebrows, "what are you implying?"

"you're drunk...your mind isn't in its right place...."

i scoffed, "i know what i saw jungkook. the person seemed in a panic when they saw me. they drove off fast."

"did you get the license plate number?"

"all i got was 7AJ, i couldn't catch anything else."

jungkook sighed, "look, i'm going back to sleep. i'll call the detective tomorrow and see if we can meet up with him, okay? you should get some sleep too..goodnight."

i sighed as he walked back into his room, closing the door behind him.

oh my gosh? why can't he just remember?

it is true, he has seen that car before, but why can't he remember where he's seen it?

i'm honestly driving namjoon crazy, i knew it was a bad idea to even show myself to him, or even get into his head.

but i just missed him so much that i couldn't resist.

---

"come on namjoon remember." i kept telling myself.

i sighed. it was late by now, i have to get to sleep.

i went into my room and changed out of my clothes, falling asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

i sat there in the pews. looking at her coffin. her face was pale, but she managed to still look beautiful.

not many people were at the funeral either. only close relatives that cared about mina.

i sat there and silently cried, jungkook was an absolute mess. my arm wrapped around his body to comfort him, and he just cried.

i sucked in my lips to keep myself from sobbing. if i let out one sound, it would turn into a never ending cry.

you know, the cries that hurt so much you couldn't breathe.

"now words from a friend, kim namjoon."

i got up, jungkook looked at me as i stood next to her coffin.

i kept myself together as i glanced at her body.

"u-um," i began. still holding back the tears. "m-mina was a...a great friend of mine. s-she was the one encouraged my career of becoming a rapper, and i've never.....never loved someone as much as i love her-"

my speech was interrupted as i saw someone walk into the room.

i eyed him, he stood at the back, watching closely.

"she made everyone s-smile, with her bright and happy energy, and the only reason i ever woke up in the morning....was to see her. to see her beautiful smile, her contagious laugh...and her warming hugs. the hugs that made me never want to let go."

i stared at the person in the back.

i noticed him wiping tears. who was this guy?

"i-i hope she will rest easily. and i'll miss her so much...."

as i stepped away from where i was standing, i started to get a weird feeling.

"hyung? are you okay?" jungkook managed to ask. "i'm the one who should be asking you that." i weakly smiled.

"i-it's just that..you keep looking back there. is someone there?"

"i don't know...the guy that's back there, i've never seen him before, and i'm getting this weird vibe from him."

jungkook turned to who i was looking at, sniffling as he turned his attention back towards me. "no, i don't think i've ever seen that guy."

his blonde hair made him stand out.

i made eye contact with him, i saw his body tense up and he turned slowly towards the exit.

i furrowed my eyebrows as i got up from where i was sitting, following him out.

"hey! hey! who are you?" i yelled. he jumped into his car and sped off.

his red car disappeared fast into the street.

who the hell was that?

i gasped as i sat up from my bed. "that's where i saw the car!"
