"Because I find it cute and unique! I just borrowed it! I'll return it to hyung!" Jungkook blurted out after you pinned him against the wall even more.

You raised a brow, "Are you sure that's the only reason?"

"Yes!"

You let go of him as he panted and wipe his sweat off, "Where is it?"

He took a deep breath and walk towards his drawer, you froze at the sight of the thing Hoseok was talking about.

He handed it to you and you noticed the trembling of his hands, you took it but didn't let go of his hands.

"Look at me." You ordered him and he obeyed since he got scared of your unimaginable strength earlier.

Your enchanting eyes stared right into his beautiful ones, "Forget what happened, now go to your bed and take a rest. I'm sorry."

Everything that happened earlier reflected in his eyes before it faded, he headed to his bed and just lied down as he fell asleep. Hoseok fixed his comforter and kissed the maknae's forehead.

You stared at the thing in your hand, it was made of rock but you're sure that it doesn't look like this when brought back to where it really belong.

"Do you remember this?" You asked Hoseok who stared at it, "It's the key."

From frowning, his eyes slowly widened when he finally recognized it, "The key to separate the spirit world from the mortal world."

You nodded, "I have to give this back to the spirit–" You paused which made Hoseok frown, "Why?"

"This was in Taehyung's cabinet. If he's the one who stole this, how did he know and why? And if I give this back to the headquarters, they will surely ask who's the culprit..."

"And it will lead to Taehyung." Hoseok continued and you nodded.

"We need to know why he stole this." You said and went out from the room, the specter thought you'll go in Taehyung's room to confront him but you went to your room instead.

"What? I thought we need to ask Tae?"

You lie on your bed and wrapped yourself in the comforter, "Let's do it tomorrow, I'm so damn tired."

Jimin looked at you then back to his Namjoon hyung since you two kept on exchanging looks, yours looked like you're suspicious towards the leader while the other looked so nervous and this is the first time Jimin see his hyung being uneasy.

And he's sure that he's not the only who noticed, he ate a forkful of honeydew and his gaze landed on Jungkook who's frowning and massaging his wrist and this worried Jimin.

"Are you alright, Kook?" It was obvious that the rest felt relieved that someone finally broke the silence.

"I-i don't know why my wrist hurt."

Hoseok looked at you and you paused but immediately continued eating before any of the members could notice and suspect you.

"Maybe you put pressure on it too much while sleeping." Taehyung said and everyone frowned with the lack of emotion in his voice.

"Don't move it too much." Jin said and gave Jungkook an ice bag.

Yoongi quietly snatched the ice bag from Jin's hand and began to apply it on the maknae's wrist.

After eating breakfast, the guys prepared to leave since they have schedules except for Jimin who was told to not attend since his ankle got injured for practicing hard last night that it swell.

"We will leave now, take care guys."

You accompanied them to the door and made sure that they are out of sight before closing the door.

Jimin was sitting comfortably on the sofa at the living room so you sat beside him, his eyes were fixed at the tv screen, "Inform me if you need something." You said and saw him on your peripheral vision looking at you.

"Sure, thanks."

You nodded and stood up, "I'll be at my room, don't hesitate to call me when you need my help."

Jimin watch you ascended the stairs until you disappeared from his sight, he won't deny that he's nervous around you because of your background and he doesn't know what's going on in your mind so he made sure to always keep his phone in his pocket in case of emergency.

The members doesn't trust you that much but the fact that their own CEO gave you his trust, they decided to give you a chance but that doesn't mean that they will trust you 100 percent. They made sure to remind each other about that.

You entered your room and took the dodecahedron shaped key from your drawer then placed it on the bed as you stared at it while Hoseok appeared behind you.

"Why do you think Taehyung stole this? If he is really the one who stole this." He asked.

You crossed your arms, "There's a possibility that he has the same case as you, his parents may be the ones who stole this and told him to keep it."

"I just noticed... Taehyung's behavior is unusual these days." You nodded as a sign of agreement, Taehyung became quiet and taciturn.

"I can talk to him, if you want." You said and Hoseok's eyes widened with the sudden offer.

"Really?" You just nodded and grabbed the key before putting it in your pocket.

You went out from your room to visit Jimin and to see if he needs something but when you're about to descend the stairs, you heard someone whispering.

You followed the direction where the voice is coming from and frowned when you saw the door of Taehyung's room opened a bit.

You frowned even more when you heard Jimin's voice and followed by another voice which is coming from his phone.

"Tae... It's gone!"
