(Turn on the media please)

Jimin stood there in front of the prison with Raven. He looked back to her and Raven nodded her head with a reassuring squeeze of his hand. They stepped forward into the building. Jimin gulped as he felt nervous.
Jimin was enraged when he found out that Seokjin had been the one behind the whole case and that he actually had the guts to take Raven away from him and then Raven had told him what had happened. Jimin didn't know what to feel. He was completely empty but there was a slight feeling of unease that was slowly making its way to the surface.

He felt guilty. He shouldn't have listened to those guys when they had told him to go fetch Aurelia. He should have known something was wrong. If it hadn't been for him, maybe she would have been alive still. Aurelia was a pretty kind girl,a bit overactive but nevertheless nice. For four days he had cooped up in his room despite Raven's constant efforts. On the fifth day he cried.

Raven had been there, patting his back whispering words of comfort to him. But the uneasiness remained. Now Jimin knew what he should do.

He took a deep breath and walked forward as one of the officers who were in charge led him into the visiting area.

Raven stayed outside. She wanted them to resolve the misunderstandings by themselves. He had to do it. It was for his sake. This time, she was patient. Raven prayed to whoever was watching over her that the misunderstanding would resolve and everything would be back to normal. Maybe they couldn't have the relationship they once had with Seokjin but they could still live in as fellow human beings who had crossed paths in unusual circumstances. To say that Raven was nervous would be a gross understatement but it was all that she could do. At least she could calm her heart saying that she had tried her best. Maybe it would give them the closure they desperately needed.

The door opened and Jimin stepped outside.

"How did it go? What did he say?" Raven asked eagerly, waiting for his answer. Jimin looked up with a small smile. "It went well," he replied and Raven sank back down in her seat, sighing in relief. As he watched Raven, Jimin thought of what Seokjin had said.

Seokjin nodded his head when he told him what had happened. Jimin was not expecting that. He thought that he would argue and that he would blame him. Seeing his puzzled expression, Seokjin had smiled. "Even if I had made some pretty dumb decisions driven by emotions, I was still a psychology student. I can see that you are sincere." Seokjin replied. Jimin's eyes stayed wide.

"You still came," Seokjin whispered, his voice strained and his eyes glimmered with tears.

"Even though I hurt you and Raven, you still came. You apologized. That's all that matters."

Seokjin sighed, his smile a sad painful memory that would forever remain ingrained in Jimin's mind.

"Raven's here."

Seokjin nodded. "Do you want to see her?" He shook his head. "It's alright. I am not ready to see her yet. When the time comes, I will. I have to apologize properly for what I did."

Jimin took hold of Raven's hands smiling and she smiled back, their heart finally at peace. As they walked out of the prison gates, the sun had already begun to set, painting the sky in hues of red and orange. Raven smiled as the evening sun made her pale face glow yellow. A warm breeze touched her cheeks ruffling her hair and Raven and Jimin smiled. They can finally let go of the past. They can finally move on with their lives and go about their ways.

As Raven stood there smiling up at Jimin watching the sunset, one question remained in her mind. A question for which she never found the answer.

Who called the Police that day?
