Alright so I can tell that some of y'all are confused by the ending of this short story so I'm here to clarify it! I'll be separating my points with bullets so it will be easier to understand.

Here it goes

• Namjoon's "job"

» Namjoon is a doll maker, yes, but he's also hella crazy. He takes his victims in and drugs them with his food. Once they're knocked out, he skins them and butchers them. He uses blood for red dye and mixes the leftovers with his pastries. Skin and insides are used for cloth and doll stuffing. I mentioned three different dolls at the first two chapters and they were Yoongi, Taehyung and Hoseok.

• Seokjin entering Namjoon's workplace

» To concise it, Seokjin saw hanging bodies and buckets of blood and insides in that room. When he says "I finally found you little brother" it was because he saw Jungkook's dead body hanging from above.

• Who is Seokjin?

» Seokjin is a psycho. A very manipulative psycho with amazing acting skills. He was never a lost boy in the forest, he was chasing Jungkook. He had the knife because he was the one who inflicted the wound on Jungkook and the bloody handkerchief was used to wipe his hands clean. The "have you seen my little brother?" was an act to trick Namjoon into letting him in. He knew that Jungkook was in there but he didn't know that he was already dead.

• Seokjin, Jimin and Jungkook's relationship

» Seokjin and Jungkook are not related to each other. It was all an act so Seokjin could make himself look innocent and lost. Jungkook was his victim. Jimin is Jungkook's real brother and since he was able to get the call (before Namjoon killed Jungkook) he went to the forest. Too bad he gets killed in the end.

• Chapter Six

» Like I said, Seokjin didn't know that Jungkook was already dead. When he found him, he got mad at Namjoon and killed him, then took his place as the murderous doll maker. He likes the pastries so he still uses the recipe.
