Suspect

I was in one of the many rooms in the main building of FIRE. Jungkook and I were standing behind Taehyung, who was seated in front of a computer, lines of code flying up on the screen which I had absolutely no idea what it did.

"Hyung, is it done?" Jungkook asked once the code seemed to have stopped moving on the screen.

"Almost, it's loading," Taehyung answered confidently. He was using the information that I received from the spy from FIRE in Bludhood to crack into their computer system and find out a list of their registered members, prominent or not.

Suddenly a window popped up onto the screen and upon my further inspection, turned out to be a long list of names.

"There you go," Taehyung slowly scrolled down the list, as if showing off his accomplishment.

Jungkook gave Taehyung a pack on the back, "Well done. Yoongi-hyung will be happy."

Suddenly a familiar name scrolled past which caught my eyes. I immediately stopped Taehyung from scrolling down any further, grabbed the mouse,and scrolled back up to that name.

And there it was, black words on white background: Hwang Minjun.

I huffed in disbelieve. Jungkook looked at me and asked, "What's wrong?"

I circled the cursor around the name of my ex-boyfriend on the screen,

"Hwang Minjun?" Taehyung read from it. "Isn't he the guy that was on the news a while back? Wasn't he almost killed by the Busan Killer, and is the only surviving victim so far?"

I nodded. "He's my ex-boyfriend."

Judging by his surprised expression, Jungkook seemed to have pieced the story together.

"Yerin, come with me," Jungkook nodded towards the door of the room. I followed him out and into a room next door.

"Does he know about Jimin?" Jungkook asked when the door closed behind us, his tone serious.

"No, Minjun doesn't," I answered, "But...he thinks that I'm the one that did it. He thinks I tried to kill him."

"Are you sure?" Jungkook said, "Because if he thinks either of you did it this could be serious. Both of you have a lot of ties to FIRE. This could ignite a war between us and Bludhood."

"Oh..." I looked away as I thought. Minjun seemed to be a bit messed up right now, so I'm not sure how his mental state and memory is. From what I gathered he really believed that I tried to kill him. But even if he told anyone, no-one would believe him since any sane person could see how ridiculous it to think that I, a girl half his size, could manage to beat up that man that badly. "I think he's sure that I did it."

"Does he think that you're the Busan Killer or something?" Jungkook asked a very good question.

I shrugged, "I don't know, I think he just doesn't believe that the Busan Killer tried to kill him."

"Still, we should be careful," Jungkook said, "I'll talk to Yoongi-hyung about this."

I nodded, "I still can't believe Minjun is actually in Bludhood."

He shrugged, "Life is strange." He then opened the door and we went back to the room where Taehyung was.

"Everything okay?" He asked when we came back in.

"Yea," I answered without further explanation

I turned the corner of the corridor in front of he apartment and was about to take my key out when I realised there was a woman in front of our apartment. She hasn't noticed me yet and she knocked on the apartment after hesitating a bit. When she got no answer, she turned around and jumped when she saw me.

"Oh my god you scared me!" The waitress that we let go of the other day said.

"Why are you back?" I asked.

"I came here to warn you," she answered, "I went to the police station the other day-"

"You what!?" I whisper-shouted, interrupting her.

"No I-" I once again interrupted her by dragging her into the apartment and shutting the door behind us.

"You sold us out to the police!?"

"No! I went to the police station the other day, only because one of my friend was mugged and she wanted someone to go with her to the police station!" She shook her head frantically, explaining herself.

I stared at her with narrowed gaze, "Really?"

"Yes, I promise you!" She nodded and glanced around, "Is he here?"

I shook my head. And she sighed in relief. "Phew, I was hoping not to see him. Lucky me."

I crossed my arms. "Why are you here then?"

"I came here to warn you!"

"Of what?"

"Well, the police called me inside because I was a witness, and when I was waiting... I heard something..." she paused.

"Go on," I nodded for her to continue.

"I overheard some police talking about the Busan Killer, and they suspect someone..."

"Who is it!?" I urged her on. What if they are onto Jimin!? What if they already know that he did-

"Is your name Song Yerin?"

I nodded. How did she know? Shock washed over me as I anticipated what she said.

"They suspect you to be the Busan Killer."
