Jimin was sitting in the interrogation room. This was a small room with a table and two chairs on the opposite sides. It had grey walls and brown tiles. Two big lights were attached to the ceiling and one small lamp was on the table.

A police officer came in after few minutes. He was tall, fair and built up. Jimin looked at him with an unreadable expression in his eyes, as the officer sat down.

"So Park Jimin. I'm Kim Namjoon, I'll be asking you few questions regarding the murder of your brother, Park Jinyoung."

Jimin's eyes welled up at the mention of his bother's name, but he was quick to change his expression. His face was neutral as he answered, "yes officer."

"Okay, can you tell me more about your brother?" The officer asked and the smaller nodded.

"He was the bestest. He was in the same uni as me and T-taehyung, he had taken a business major. He loved cooking though, he also loved going to clubs."

"I see. Can you tell me how was your relationship with him?"

"It was very fun. Me and T-taehyung and Jinyoung hyung used to have a lots of fun. We used to go to clubs and bars and we had a lot of sleepovers. It was all good until Jinyoung hyung and Taehyung broke up."

Namjoon noticed how Jimin stuttered when he spoke about Taehyung.

"Do you know the reason they broke up?" He enquired.

"Yeah. Jinyoung hyung cheated on Taehyung."

"And how was it after?"

"It was bad. I stopped talking to Jinyoung hyung. Taehyung started staying at my apartment. I-i still remember t-the las-st time we talked, it was when he broke up with Taehyung." Jimin cried out. Namjoon offered him a glass of water which the other gladly took.

"Do you know that Taehyung is arrested as the prime suspect for your brother's murder?"

Jimin hesitated to answer that. He looked down, keeping the glass aside. This was kind of suspicious to Namjoon, but he kept his look objective.

"Yes. I know."

"Okay. Then tell me Mr.Park what do you think? Do you think that Taehyung killed Jinyoung?"

"I don't know. Well he had many reasons to kill him. Like-like Jinyoung hyung was very possessive over Taehyung. He never used to let him speak to anyone except for him and me. He always used to flirt with random girls in the club. Maybe that's why Taehyung killed him? I don't know though."

"Other than Taehyung who do you think killed Jinyoung?"

"I DON'T KNOW." Jimin screamed, his voice wavering at the end.

"So Taehyung killed Jinyoung?"

"BULLSHIT. IT'S ALL BULLSHIT. I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE HE DID. MAYBE HE WAS ANGRY. HE KILLED MY BROTHER. MY ONLY BROTHER. MY ONLY FAMILY AFTER MY PARENTS DIED."

"The water." Namjoon said undisturbed as he passed the glass of water to Jimin, again.

"Mr.Park I guess we're done for now. If we find anything regarding your brother's case we'll definitely call you. Thanks for your cooperation. You may leave." Namjoon stood up and guided Jimin out of the room.

"I'm bored." Namjoon muttered under his breath, but it was clearly audible to the officer sitting right beside him.

"Sure you're hyung. You just interrogated Park Jimin." Jungkook replied looking at the case files of Kim Taehyung.

"Yeah. It was tiring. That guy, I really had many questions. But he got too loud. My ears were about to bleed." Jungkook chuckled.

"Well hyung, everything isn't nice in this job."

"I know. But it's boring." Jungkook hummed as he continued to look at Taehyung's photograph, in the file.

Taehyung was definitely the most ethereal being he has ever witnessed. He had a perfect face, with small nose, luscious lips, pretty eyes and bread cheeks. To top it all, this guy also has a cute boxy smile. Jungkook was sure, if he and Taehyung had met in any other circumstances he would've definitely fallen for the younger.

"You seem lost." Namjoon's voice pulled him out of his trance.

"Yeah, this case is twisted. We have no evidence yet. I'm fed up."

"Calm down JK it's only been like 17 hours since the guy was killed."

"Yeah 17 hours of no sleep. Damn I'll start hallucinating now."

"Yeah after a few hours you'll say, 'Look it's a walking pizza behind you.' No JK you're just hallucinating." Namjoon laughed at his own joke.

Jungkook just shook his head at the other's poor attempt in making him laugh. But it was true. He hadn't had proper sleep since this case was assigned to him.

He was tired. The case wasn't easy. Jimin said he didn't have good relations with his brother after Taehyung and Jinyoung broke up. Hence, Jimin was a possible suspect here. That doesn't mean Taehyung will be released, the young boy was still in the interrogation room and Jungkook still had many questions for him.

"Jimin is a possible suspect." Jungkook spoke as he looked at Namjoon who was eating a burger.

"Yeah, I know. Let's wait till the autopsy reports are out."

------x------

"Kim Taehyung, what time did you visit Jinyoung?"

Jungkook was now sitting in front of Taehyung. The young boy was still crying a bit. He looked lost. Although it was Jungkook's job so he had to put on a neutral expression, he could only offer water to him. He had asked Taehyung if he wanted anything to eat but the later had denied.

"I don't remember. Maybe around eight in the evening."

"Hm. And what time did you leave?"

"Yeah, an hour later or so. I left as soon as I finished eating."

"Okay. Who's Park Jimin?"

Taehyung's face now looked void of any emotion. He looked directly at the officer with a pained expression, though he didn't say anything.

"Kim Taehyung, who's Park Jimin?" Jungkook asked again.

"My-my best friend."

"And?"

Taehyung was quiet for few seconds before speaking up,

"And Jinyoung's brother."

"Okay. How did you and Jinyoung meet?"

"It was because of Jimin. Jinyoung was overseas when their parents died. When he returned here, we started talking. And-and he proposed me one day."

"And how was Jinyoung as a boyfriend?"

"He was good. He was possessive but it was all okay."

"Okay so it this why you killed him? Killed him because he was posse-"

"NO. I LOVED HIM. IT WAS ALL OKAY. I NEVER NEEDED FRIENDS IF HE WAS WITH ME."
