*BANG*

"fuckfuckfuck whatdidhedo-"
"MR. KIM! NO-"
"TAEHYUNG!!!"

Hoseok's legs wobbled instantly at the unexpected insanity his friend aired. All eyes blown wide.

It should've been a moment of sheer panic and chaos, but it wasn't. It was rather a silence where not even a breath sound could be heard, maybe pertaining to the fact that everyone's breathing had seized to see the scene outplaying.

"TAEHYUNG WHAT DID YOU DO!" Hoseok in all his mustered up voice seethed moving ahead but couldn't as soon as an iron grip circled round his wrist.

"Just give me five minutes of your trust Hoseok. I beg you." most would say Taehyung spoke out these words expressionlessly as if he didn't just offhandedly cause a boy's knees to knock the ground from the outlandish shootout; but only a good reader could see the twiddle of frown on the corners of his lips.

Hoseok was reluctant, ofcourse he was. This could most easily cost him his job, maybe it already has; but then there's this one little voice. The same voice that makes you change your long made up mind on a scrutiny that makes absolutely no sense. The one that's behind all the bad decisions you can't explain.

"The bullet barely grazed his thigh. He'll be okay. Please trust me, I got this."

They held eyes for barely a second before Taehyung's hard-set eyes shift back to the whimpering boy that lay on the floor clutching to his thigh with teeth gritting and eyes screwed to endure the pain, failing miserably.

"Mr. Kim.. p-please."

"Shut up, Park."

Jimin looks away. He has to. He can't even bring himself to walk ahead and stop his boss from whatever atrocity he seems in a plan to commit when he sees him walking towards the boy now laying in his own blood and heavy snivels in agonising pain.

He goes ahead and stands right on the blood pool beneath his leather shoes, beside the face planted on the floor in agony. "Look up." Taehyung's voice is low and unforgiving. Posture screaming straight off cosmopolitan, the labyrinthine eyes however were a whole different story.

Hoseok would have argued. Stopped Taehyung, punched him and asked him to fuck right off of there; or maybe charged him lawsuits for breach of the sections. But something else caught his eye. Something that made things make sense.

"Oh fuck! Oh fuck!" The officer muttered to himself catching attention of the terrified Jimin trembling beside him. Jimin feels fearfully exposed once the said male leaves his side and walks ahead picking something from the ground that has everyone around them inhaling audibly.

"So when everyone had their eyes fixated on the hand with the gun, the other hand was going to come through with this? You fuckface!" He boomed so hard that Jimin involuntarily took a step back. This was too much for him.

Because when Hoseok lifted up a peculiar Bard Parker's with a No.23 blade, everyone familiar with this treacherous case knew like the back of their hand what weapon this was. This was the murder weapon.

Taehyung nudged the tip of his shoe on the boy's cheek who looked up with a loud whimper to see Taehyung pulling out a voice recorder from the pocket of his blazer. "Confess." Was all he said.

"H-h-hurts."

"Mhm. It's supposed to. Now confess. We know the truth already"

"I-I k-killed all o-of  t-t-them! Puh- please i-it hurts t-too m-much"

"THAT'S NOT A FUCKING CONFESSION!! I know you killed them!! CONFESS EVERYTHING IF YOU WANT TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL YOU FUCKER!! YOU'RE GOING TO THE JAIL ANYWAY!!"

Taehyung looked like a maniac with his usual amicable persona incinerated and a new wide popping eyes, throbbing veins and a bloodcurdling countenance took over like a possession.

He lifted his foot up, placed it right over the toned thigh that was cut open by the bullet and then put a major portion of his weight over it with crazed eyes and gritting teeth.

"AAAGHH ITHURTSITHURTSITHURTS p-p-please. P-PLEASE STOP!! "

Clicking his tongue in a horrifyingly edging annoyance, Taehyung removed his leg and squatted down beside, pressing the button on the recorder. "Confess." the finality of an ultimatum in his voice.

"I...  Jin, k-killed N-namjoon, B-bosco and y-yoongi." The button that was clicked again before the loud wail screamed in the room. "Please i-it h-hurts!!"
