Chapter 56: Found out

               You had reached the monitor rooms with Hoseok, you both were out of breath, and the whole place was still on the look-out.

"T-The place," you breathing ragged slumping into the chairs, why did you have dungeons lock like this."

Hoseok, whose heart was also beating loudly, looks at you daze from the constant panic and panic, "do I look like I know?"

"You live here!"

"Not willingly!" he hisses, "I came here to get what I need, and I'm in this mess."

Suddenly Hoseok's ear was alert when he hears a familiar clicking sound. He looks at you, who was pointing a gun at his body, Hoseok who was looking at you could only blankly look at you.

"Spill Hoseok," you said, "I'm not taking a no for an answer. I want the truth." You slowly put the gun down, and Hoseok sigh.

"I am not here if you don't know," he said, " I was only here because I wanted to get my brother out." He said, your eyebrows frown and then remember the files Seokjin had handed you.

"Who is –"

"Taehyung... my stepbrother. He was an orphan. After my sister's death, my family was devasted," he starts, " but I was more depressed, so they had adopted Taehyung. He was a quiet kid, always keep himself until he had opened up to me." Hoseok chuckle.

It had click on you whenever Taehyung was in danger. Hoseok was ready to help in; he was the one who had defended Taehyung and everything.

"My parents were killed in a car crash coming home from my school, and Taehyung had blamed it on me," Hoseok sadly chuckle, "he was not wrong if I hadn't gone out that day. Now my brother is dead."

"Hoseok I –"

"He ran away from home, and I spent years trying to find him. When I did get information that he was here, I didn't know he had ties with this place. All I knew he inside this house, and I was ready to set him free. He needs to get out and –"he didn't realize tears started pouring out.

"He let himself go, and I lost him once again – "

"Hoseok..." you were silent, now you felt guiltier than ever, he was looking for his brother, you were supposed to help, but then you had let Taehyung like that.

"It was never your fault," he said, "Taehyung was framed." You looked up.

He then slid his hands into his back pocket.

It was a crumpled note, he slid the message to you, and you opened the paper.

Hyung... I was framed for a murder I didn't do. I think they are on to me. If I'm not there, tell love it's not because of her.

He was looking at you and sigh, "Even after his death, he didn't want you to be blamed for what happened. That is why I was trying to reach my way to you. There's some way we could just prove him. He would have at least died in peace."

"You and Seokjin, you know something, I don't trust Yoongi but you, I know because you're not from here either," He said, and you look at him.

"Then why didn't you tell me Hoseok, I was going crazy and –"

"I couldn't tell you because there's something wrong with this house! It felt it isn't right to tell you because you were bait to something bigger!" he harshly said," You suddenly appear out of nowhere ... roaming in this halls like a piece of meat. It was better if you didn't know."

"You should have told me regardless of what was going to happen," you said, " did you have fun looking at my state?"

"Let me tell you something, do you know why fisherman uses live bait rather than the dead ones? Because when they fling around the ocean, it attracts more fishes than the ones that are dead," he squats closer to you, "Do you see where this is going?"

"What is happening... Hoseok, who are you and who am I?"

"I can't answer because I don't know, but I'm here to get my brother out, but you, you were in it for something big. You need to be careful."

Suddenly the door was banged loudly, and you both stood up.

"Look over the camera. Who is at the door?" Hoseok whisper, and you nod, looking through the whole camera system. It made your heart beating loudly. Someone could be standing there, and they could end you quickly.

Searching through the monitor, you look to see someone in one of the footages, you look closer, and your heart stops, it was the killer, the person you had been avoiding yet face every time, he was walking, and when he saw the camera and you stagger back.

"Who is it?" Hoseok ask, and your head snaps to the door's CCTV to see Seokjin, and you walk to the door opening it for him.

Comes in Seokjin, tumbling inside the place, his breath ragged, visible cuts could be seen in his face.

"Seokjin! What happened? Did you Yoongi follow you here?" Hoseok looks at Seokjin squatting down beside him as you close the door. Locking it behind you, your eyes wander to Seokjin, occasionally on the door.

He was lurking inside the house, you thought. He's inside the house.

"Yoongi... he k – knows more than we thought, he's persistence in killing me, I don't think he'll listen to anyone now –"

"Except for –"Hoseok looks at you –" you are the only one he would listen to. You need to tell him it's not Seokjin."

"We need more evidence that I'm not the killer, and I don't have anything, I'm just not the killer," Seokjin frustratingly said, "He wouldn't want to hear anything I tell him; He was so persistent with the goddamn letter, A letter I never wrote!"

"We don't need him to believe you aren't the killer, he won't listen he's to blind for revenge the only way we can move here freely is to disable the man, I don't know how he got out, but we need to put him back, and Flower –" Hoseok was looking at you, but your heart and mind weren't here.

You were frozen as you kept looking at the door. I mean, who wouldn't look at the door when a shadowing smile lingered in the front door.
