⚠️: Mention of a disorder.

-

The members were surprised as they watch you and their leader being accompanied to the company's van.

Hoseok was giving you a confused look and he wouldn't deny that he's starting to feel a bit doubtful of you.

"If you don't mind me asking, Sir." Jin was the first one to speak and recover as he formally asked the guard despite of the nervousness he's feeling, "Why are they under investigation?"

The guard whom Jin approached faced him and the other members, "We need them for the investigation of Jung Hoseok's death."

You and Namjoon sat down with two men on each of your sides, a table was in front of you.

The door opened, revealing Bang Pd-nim and Jongsuk as they entered. He sighed as he stopped in front of the two of you.

It was a long dreading silence before the CEO release a sigh and this made Namjoon sad, he can feel the exhaustion with just a sigh. So he just chose to stare down at his muscular thighs.

"I... I don't even know what to say." Bang Pd-nim said, disappointment was visible in his tone which made something in your chest sting.

The CEO gestured at Jongsuk who's holding a laptop, he placed it on the table and clicked things before turning it around to show to the both of you.

It was from a CCTV camera which was facing the direction of the street where Bangtan's dorm is. A car passed by and came from the street where the dorm is, the following scenes were just the empty streets with some civilians passing by.

"Did you noticed it?" Bang Pd-nim asked the two of you but you just both shook your heads.

Jongsuk replayed the video and paused it on the scene where a car was passing by, he zoomed it to the car's back seat and there, a woman can be seen looking straight ahead.

You squinted your eyes as your eyes slowly grew wide, "Is that...?"

"Yes. That's your grandma." Bang Pd-nim answered then Jongsuk next zoomed it to the car's driver's seat and you squinted your eyes when Namjoon didn't even looked surprised.

"That's my brother..." He mumbled and sighed.

You placed your hand inside your pocket and felt the knife materializing in your hand. You fished it out and placed it on the table.

"Found that under your bed." You said and looked at the leader as he stared at it.

Bang Pd-nim's eyes widened, "What? Why do you have a knife hidden under your bed, Namjoon?"

The leader remained silent and just stared at you like he's trying to know your identity through staring.

"Sorry to sound disrespectful but why did you let her stay in our dorm in the first place, Pd-nim? She's a thief! I can't understand."

"Don't change the topic." You interrupted and rolled your eyes, Namjoon threw a glare at you and you returned it.

"We will clear this out after you answer me, Namjoon." The leader fell silent with Bang Pd-nim's words.

He sighed, "T-that's not mine..."

That made the CEO frown, "What?"

"That belongs to my brother."

"Then why do you have it?"

As soon as Namjoon entered his room, tears began to fall from his eyes. He didn't even bother open the lights.

He couldn't believe that he lost a member, a friend, a brother. He blamed himself for not doing his job properly as the leader.

He took his white shirt off, they had returned from Hoseok's burial. Everything just happened so fast that he just found himself staring at his friend's coffin being buried.

Sobs began to fill his room as he slid down to the floor, no words can describe how much pain he's feeling right now.

Namjoon sighed, but he needs to be strong for his members since he knew that they will rely on him. He needs to comfort them and this time, he won't fail as their leader.

He looked up when he heard the opening of his door which leads to the balcony. At first, he couldn't see who is it since it was dark and the only source of light was the moon coming from behind the person walking towards him.

He immediately stood up, "Who are you?"

The man chuckled, "Relax, brother."

Namjoon's face immediately went blank as he finally recognized his brother, "What are you doing here?"

"You know that I come here for the same reason."

He immediatelt caught the weapon that his brother tossed at him, "Take a good care of that, brother."

"Why do you always ask me to hide this for you? Can't you hide it yourself?" Namjoon's tone came out irritated which made his brother raise a brow.

"Because I don't trust myself."

They both stared at each other before his brother broke it with a cocky grin, "Anyway, gotta go, brother." He patted Namjoon's shoulder and jumped off from the balcony.

The leader stared at the weapon he's holding and sighed.

"He never told you his reason?" Namjoon replied to Bang Pd-nim with a nod.

"Do you know his health status?" You asked, you're having a hunch why Namjoon's brother did that.

"No. But, I noticed something with him, he's cocky and teasing me and then later, he's being close and sweet. If I ask him why he acted so strange earlier, he will just give me a confused look."

You smirked, "I'm not a professional but I can tell why he's like that." You spun the swivel chair and stopped when you came face to face with the leader.

"You're a genius, aren't you?" You tilted your head on the right and watched his reaction, his eyes slowly widening in realization.

"He has..."

"Dissociative Identity Disorder." Bang Pd-nim continued.

The door suddenly flew open, revealing a tall woman wearing a strict expression.

She slammed a brown folder against the table and looked at Bang Pd-nim who looked so surprised.

"Long time no see, Sihyuk."
