"Secondly, why did you lash out on y/n?! mean, in the sense what made you lash out on her in the first place? I mean you told us the reason but what really triggered you?" Namjoon questioned. Jimin's eyes looked at his face blankly before realising the answer.

"You are right...!vthey exactly knew how to push your buttons and trigger yourself" Namjoon smirked and folded his arms while Jin's mouth was wide opened.

"The third hole is something I had been thinking ever since you told us the incident. What happened to Jennie's money? Did she find it afterwards?" at the mention of Jennie's name. Jimin couldn't help but feel irritated.

He used to cringe before but now, he couldn't help but scowl. "Hmm I don't really know to be honest.. as far as I remember, I don't think the teacher found her money in the class. If Mrs. Min had found it, it would have diverted the attention to that person so I don't think someone from our class stole it" he stated irritatedly.

"Did Jennie let it go? You said that she was making a scene about it and the teacher was even going to make her apologise and inform the head teacher about it this time?" it was Jin who questioned.

"I don't really remember Jennie saying anything else after that, she definitely didn't apologise and didn't talk about that again afterwards. Even if I was disassociating myself from everything that was going on, I wasn't completely out of it. I remembered the details of that day and she didn't apologise to the class nor.... do I think Mrs. Min did anything about it either. She was too focused on y/n..." Jimin said with a new found energy but the things he said only made the other two narrow their eyes.

This whole mess happened because of Jennie losing her money in the first place so did the stealer got away with her money?

"And about the whole social media thing.." Namjoon started with caution.

He knew how tough of a subject, it was to Jimin. "You told me that those vile terms started to trend online in the evening, pretty much a couple of hours after the whole mess happened, isn't it?"

Taehyung nodded his head while his eyes were on the ground. "So that means before the 24 hours mark. You might have been the popular guy at school but.......y/n....she wasn't popular nor attracted attention at school even when she was with you. For her... to go viral at such a short amount of time within a few hours is just unimaginable, just unbelievable.. And here, we are talking about thousands and thousands of posts"

"Were there 40/50 people in your class? don't know, max 55? Even if every single person in your class posted multiple times those terms, it wouldn't have trended because that's not how the algorithm works. It's something you know very well since your friend took over two days to clear those searches and delete those posts" Jimin had asked one of his good tech friends to stop those social media posts from trending more than they already had... but it ended up being more difficult than they expected.

His friend thought he could easily hide those terms and pictures by creating a new search term and replacing it with other pictures in the backend of the code but it didn't work since there were literally thousands and thousands of those posts.

It was practically impossible.

It took him over 24 hours to delete every post manually without sleep but he didn't mind since he knew Jimin would always remember his help and be compensated in some ways.

He had to also block those terms in every social media platform's database in order to avoid future trending of those words.

It was done in two days but the work was intense.

"Someone had to either use bots or prepared/did something like this beforehand otherwise there is no way, those terms would have trended and gone viral. I mean....even the big celebrities who have millions of fans don't trend their names online. So...in this case, the words associated with y/n couldn't have made a damn sense to anyone unless you know what had happened"

"I'm not going to lie, when I first saw those words trend online, I thought that a new brand of c*ndoms was launching and that it was their advertising strategy" at Namjoon's statement, Jin let out a big scoff with a disappointed look.

"But when I saw that people were tagging c*ndoms of other brands, I got more confused. I literally asked myself if it was a trend to showcase if people owned contraceptives..." by his next statement, Jin was getting infuriated of his friend's stupid comment but restrained himself for the sake of Jimin.

"Joon, just get to the point" Jin helped him reach the main part of his explanation.

"What I am trying to say is even if most people on social media do stupid things and follow what others do, there is no way thousands of people would just randomly post pictures of c*ndoms while tagging those terms without any context. So.... in conclusion someone must have bought bots or even a hacker to trend those terms and post those chains. It wasn't something accidental, it was very intentional." both Jimin and Jin were shocked by this new found theory.

Jimin knew that someone had planted those items in your bag for a reason but he didn't understand why?

"Y/n didn't have any enemies at school.... As far as I know, she didn't have any bullies either and if somebody hated her, I would have known."

"Of course if somebody had had hated or bullied her, you would have known because you were with her all the time" Jin reasoned.

"Why would someone do something this evil to her? She never stuck her nose into other people's businesses. This doesn't make any sense.." Jimin stated in confusion about the whole thing.

What's going on?

"What happened after the incident? She got humiliated, hurt and lost everyone that she loved in her life that is from her perspective. But from yours, she got out of your life. This broke and ruined your friendship." Namjoon concluded.

"What are you trying to say, hyung? I don't understand.."

"The person who did this, didn't do it because it was y/n, it seemed like they did it because she was your close friend.... because she was close to you." Namjoon paused before looking at Jimin who wasn't moving an inch.

"The target was never y/n.... it has always been your guys friendship or more specifically you... it seemed like" once again, the silence penetrated inside the cabin but this time, it was because of this new revelation.

"Why? What would they gain by separating me and y/n?" Jimin asked perplexed.

"Chim... are you really this dense? This is pretty much the reason why you are in this position in the first place!" Jin said exasperatedly.

"You know the answer very well, chim..."
