"Hey Jungkook" you waved at Jungkook with a slight a smile which he returned with a warm bunny one.

"Hey Y/N"

You were standing on the bridge seeing the river below which was calm under the spell of the half moon. It was such a calm and relaxed environment but your heart was restless. You wanted someone to relax you a bit and you wished from the core of your heart it to be Taehyung but again...

He was the one who made you like this.

in all means his behavior did make you scared of him. indeed what he did was just to protect you but the way he acted like a madman threw you off guard, he even pushed you like he doesn't even know you which was beyond agonizing and concerning.

recalling all those moments you couldn't help but call jungkook. even though he wasn't someone very close to you, your instincts told you that maybe he would be able to help you out of this messed up situation.

"Why so sudden?" Jungkook asked after he stood beside you and faced the front.

"Huh?"

"I mean why you called me so sudden? Everything okay?" Jungkook knew for sure that something was wrong and it made him feel somewhat special to know you called him first for whatever the problem was.

"uh... about that– first tell me, how's life going?" you tried to lighten the mood since it was getting awkward.

"just the usual. Uncle hasn't accepted me in the case yet but I think he will soon. What about you? You don't look... fine to me" Jungkook uttered the last words looking at you with those big doe eyes and his gaze surely made you to look back at him.

"I'm... I'm fine. Just dealing with something."

"Tell me about it. You called me. I know there's something wrong. Don't hesitate. I'm a good listener"

"Taehyung. It's about him" the male snapped his eyes at you while his lips parted showing his bunny teeth from the sudden mention of taehyung.

"Oh, what happened with him?"

"I don't know if I should be telling this to you, but I can't keep it inside anymore. It's just messing with my head"

"You can tell me Y/N. I'm positive I can give a solution and even if I can't still you will feel better. Trust me" Jungkook smiled gently at you, assuring you that it would be alright for you to let out those thoughts.

That's why you called him. He knows how to make you feel better. He did it before and you believe he will do it for the second time as well.

"So the thing happened is..."

After listening to it all, Jungkook faced the river below again. You looked at him and could feel his detective mind was on again which made you to roll your eyes and poke his shoulder. He flinched at your connection as he looked you.

"What?" Jungkook spoke but you could feel he was still thinking about something else.

"Don't suspect Taehyung again. He is innocent Jungkook." You said softly with eyes flickering confidence.

For some reasons seeing so much confidence over Taehyung in your eyes made him pity you in some ways.

So much trust for someone is always dangerous.

he knows how much you love taehyung and it didn't matter to him in the beginning, but now it does– it does because he has a strong feeling that taehyung is hiding something and it does because Jungkook cares for you.

But only as a friend. That's what Jungkook thought.

"I'm not suspecting him, don't worry" oh how much of a lie it was. "I'm just surprised why he acted like that. I don't wanna scare you Y/N but..." Jungkook stiffened in his place as a weird thought came across his mind.

"But?"

You shot up your widen eyes at him and he got the sign that you got angry.

"What the hell are you saying? Are you out of your mind?! He just wanted to help me I know okay?! He just wanted to he-help" your voice cracked up as you remembered how he pushed you away.

"I'm sorry Y/N, it was just a thought of mine. I'm really sorry" Jungkook apologized and for a second you really wanted to slap him but again he's on the road to become a detective. So it was normal for him to think like that.

And even if he assume something so absurd, it's not like it's true. right?

"It's fine." You muttered, looking away.

"again I'm sorry Y/N. Maybe he was stressed or maybe the situation made him to react like that. You should talk it out with him." This time he said the words you actually wanted to hear although he didn't want to say these words since he really believes something is wrong with Taehyung.

But again on what basis can he say that?

"Maybe you're right, I should talk with him. It can be a mistake."

"Yes, good luck on it"

"Thanks Jungkook, I really needed someone to hear me out. I was feeling suffocated. And sorry for shouting at you... I'm just too sensitive when it comes on Tae.... You know he means the world to me" you gazed below at the calm river, avoiding his gaze.

Jungkook looked away as he bite down his lips, he couldn't help but get a little hurt. Of course Taehyung meant the world to you. What did he expected?

"It's okay. I'm glad I could be of any help"

after a while you two remained silent, having a nice time watching the moon bathed river that reflected the stars, moon and emotions unknown to each other.

"Ugh! Who the fuck are you?!" The short man groans feeling the rope aching his white pale wrists.

"oh it hurts right? sorry but I'm really into caging people when I'm talking, that makes them so helpless and obedient you know?" he laughed before sitting down on a chair he brought in front of the short man.

he was as usual obscured with his black outfit, hoodie and a mask that covered his entire existence and of course he wore a mic in his mouth to make his voice come out slightly weird, resulting him to become a whole different person.

"Are you out of your mind fucking asshole! Let me go or I'll kill the shit out of you when I'll be free!"

"Really? but right now it's me who can kill you in less than a second– you know that right?" The short man clenched his jaw from the response.

"Just what the fuck do you want?"

"Correct question, what I want. So let's begin." He pulls out a gun.

And a picture.

"Min Yoongi. Right?" He spoke in his weird mic voice.

"How do you know my name?!" Yoongi tries to get free but that only made him to place the gun on his forehead.

"Don't act all hero here. If I lose my temper you'll be dead" yoongi gives up doing whatever he was doing but still glaring at the man.

"Jung Hoseok." Yoongi widened his eyes as the name of Hoseok escapes his mouth.

"What a-about him?!"

"Aww lover boy is all scared now eh?" He laughed in his mic voice making Yoongi's blood boil.

"Jung Hoseok, you love him right?" This time he shows yoongi the picture he's holding. And Yoongi's eyes widen seeing the picture was no other than Hoseok's.

"Wh-why you have his photo?!"

"Chill man, hear me out first." He chuckled again seeing yoongi desperate, just as he wanted. "So our yoongi is in love with Hoseokie" he traced the picture with the gun in his hand.

Yoongi felt scared now. What was this man's intention? moreover he couldn't even see who it was and the fake voice masked it all that pissed him off further.

"What if I say your Hoseokie's life is in danger?" Yoongi widened his eyes as tears built in his eyes.

He loves Hoseok more than anything and the thought of him even getting hurt was his darkest nightmare.

"Wh-what are you s-saying?! N-no p-please don't do anything w-with him!"

"I won't But there's something you have to do for saving him." He retorted bluntly before he took his gun off the photo.

"I'll do anything! Just don't hurt him!"

"Now we are talking" he smirks through the mask.
