Under the skin.

Arriving at Yoongi's place, I brought Ara and Jisoo into the spare sitting room, where we decided we would hang out.

"So, are you going to tell me what happened?" Ara said, leaning back on the couch, her feet taking up all the room.
Jisoo looked at me and nodded.
I suppose it's hard for her to speak about it.

"Em, Jisoo's ex was found dead this morning. Near the park."

Ara gasped and grabbed Jisoo's hands.

"Girl, you'll be okay. You'll get through this."
Jisoo sniffled and gave her a small appreciative smile and nodded.

"So, was it a murder?"

"Yes." Jimin said from standing beside the door.

We all flinched, surprised by his sudden appearance. Jimin gave me a look, looking me up and down. Not the kind that makes you blush or anything. He looked like he was suspicious of me.
I was a bit taken aback, narrowing my eyes at him.

He looked away, glancing at Jisoo and Ara's connected hands.
Immediately Ara flushed red and dropped Jisoo's hands.
Jisoo rubbed her shoulder, face still a bit sad.

Jimin sighed. "Jisoo, you'll get over this. I lost my cousin last week but I still remain strong."

Ara's face was priceless. She looked like she snorted at his words, while frowning and looking a bit confused.
"Jeez. You seem a bit...ehm... heartless."

I saw Jimin panic a bit.
I snickered silently. However, that didn't go unnoticed.
Jimin glared at me.

"Lae, the boys need to talk to you about last night."

Jisoo perked up. "Last night? OooH."

I chuckled. "No guys. You gave the wrong idea."

Ara wiggled her eyebrows at me.

"We'll wait for you to come back."

I gasped and put my hand over my heart dramatically.
"Did you just dismiss me?"

Ara laughed. "Yeah. Now go so you can come back quicker."

Smiling, I said, "You're right." I walked past Jimin, my shoulder bumping into his. Jimin frowned and rubbed his shoulder, walking behind me.

I walked into the sitting room to find 6 guys, all suspicious of me (including Jimin) and a silent Jungkook who had a poker face on. My eyes flicked to his, catching eye contact with him. There was a healing wound on his head, above his left eyebrow.

His mouth twitched, forming a small smile that lasted a second. Too quick for anyone to witness.

"Where were you last night?" Namjoon asked.
"My bedroom."

"Did you wake up in the middle of the night?" He questioned.
"Not that I can remember.I slept like a baby."
Jin muttered, "Baby my ass. Pfft."

"Have you been sleep walking again?" Jimin asked.
"N-not that I know of. And when I do, I usually wake up before I move too far."

"Do you have any idea why Jungkook called me and said, panicking, your name and that there was someone else there?' Yoongi spat out.
"Nope."

Taehyung looked at Jungkook.
"What's wrong with you Jungkook? Why did you call Yoongi when you now say nothing was wrong?"

Jungkook looked at me before answering.
"I guess I thought someone else was Lae. All I saw was a man and a woman kissing and I thought it was Lae. I- I panicked when they caught me watching and called Yoongi Hyung because the man was scary looking."

"And your cut?" Jin added.

"I tripped over a loose rock and I must've hit my head. It's still a bit blurry but I'm pretty sure what happened."

Yoongi didn't look convinced. The others decided that they had enough and dismissed this chat. It was more like an interrogation in my opinion.

I walked back to Ara and Jisoo.
I passed Jungkook in the hall, giving him a quick nod of my head, smirking slightly.

"Well done. 1 down, 6 left." I whispered to myself.
