IV
Unknown's POV
I'm sorry Jimin oppa, but I need to commit this sinful act.
He had been sent to protect you, and again, he was the one who was sent to kill you.
He was an angel as well as a sinner.
But, I was lifeless.
My echo was blind; my shadow was colourless and my reflection was soulless.
I didn't have a heart.
I just had a black mist in the size of my fist.
The waterfall of angst was already drowning me, and I was submitting to it in grief.
The ground will begin to swallow me soon, but before that, I need to complete the task.
He will follow you soon; with a mask.
I'm already following you; with an artificial mask.
He is a beauty.
I am a beast.
You are mine.
I am yours to begin with and yours to end with.
You don't know me.
But I know you.
You had a dark past, and I was the reason for it.
You betrayed me when I gave you my trust.
You were the one who taught me that red was a symbolism of love.
But again, you were the one who taught me that red meant blood.
I tried to kiss you, but you never saw me.
Now, razors will kiss you and you have to suffer from it.
I am coming to destroy you; betray you and shatter your heart into a million pieces.
Wait for it, Jimin oppa.
I'm coming for you.

Back to third person's POV
"V?" Jimin questioned, pursing his lips together. In a way, his pride was hurt, for it was Jungkook who discovered one of the leads, but deep in his heart, he knew that retaliating against it would be futile and would provoke his partner to further squabbles.
"Yes, hyung. Here, look into it." Jungkook handed out the files to Jimin.
Jungkook traced his slim fingers along the lifeless pictures in the files, as a way of showing his hyung what he actually meant. Jimin intently observed the bodies and let out a deep sigh of disapproval.
"This doesn't make any sense, Jungkook," Jimin said, with a contemptuous look on his face. The younger's face fell at Jimin' remark, as he began to prove his point.
"It makes sense Hyung. Look at the impression. It's exactly in the shape of V. How is this a coincidence?" He raised his perfectly arched eyebrows.
"It might be a technique he uses," Jimin retorted, still not adhering to Jungkook's idea.
"Exactly, hyung. It's his technique that leaves a clue. He is doing it deliberately," Jungkook said, his eyes wide and his lips puckered.
"Maybe..." Jimin trailed off, sighing in disappointment.
"Elaborate on this more," Jimin said, gesturing to the bodies.
"The killer, according to me is a skilled one and always wears a mask sort of protection cause there's no trace of hair. He is an expert in this field and works with agility. Moreover, he leaves a clue deliberately. He is hunting for someone, and will not get back down until he finds the person. I'm sure that it's a he because the impression of the hand is that of a man," Jungkook finished, taking a deep breath.
"But, it's not compulsory that he should wear a mask like you say, though I'm fine with the rest of the assumptions," Jimin said, squinting his eyes to take a better look at the bodies.
"I'm damn sure he wears a mask, hyung," Jungkook said, his voice stern and confident.
"What's your proof?" Jimin enquired, looking at him with hooded eyes.
"If you look in the eyes of the victims, it shows no trace of fright, instead, it's almost like some sort of perplexion with a tinge of trepidation. It means that they never saw the killer's face because it was concealed with a mask," Jungkook said and Jimin nodded in approval.
"I can understand your point of view. It might be a reason but how should we find out who the killer is targeting for?" Jimin asked, slightly leaning on the table.
The tension in the room had evaporated, as a sober aura devoured the room. Both the agents were drowned in the case, with their minds not fluctuating to anything else.
"I'm working on that, hyung. There must be something behind this because every killer doesn't just kill for pleasure or for fun. They kill for vengeance," Jungkook said, placing the file on the table. Jimin nodded his head, and cogitated about some possible theories that ran through his head.
"How's work going?" A familiar voice asked, leaning on the edge of a door with a slight smile of satisfaction.
"Namjoon hyung!" Jimin exclaimed, with a huge smile plastered on his face. His crescent eyes moulded with the skin and it looked like a small boy seeing his brother after a long time. Jungkook looked at Jimin in awe, as he could not help but smile at his hyung's overflowing cuteness with underlying respect for Namjoon hyung.
Namjoon smiled softly, with a look of adoration and headed towards where they were seated.
"We were discussing about the case and we found a lead!" Jimin shouted excitedly, not able to repress his love. Jimin's eyes sparkled with affection whenever Namjoon spoke, and Jungkook could not help but yearn for the same.
"That's great, Jimin. I told you that Jungkook was a great detective," Namjoon said, running his hands through his already ruffled hair.
"He is, but not any much greater than you," Jimin said, his face falling at once at the younger's name.
"Oh, come on, Jimin. We both know who is great and don't try to deny your attraction for him. I can see it very well in your eyes," Namjoon said, chuckling slightly.
"I'm not in any way physically, mentally, chemically attracted to him," Jimin retorted, trying to hide the sudden exposure.
"But you are attracted to him by heart," Namjoon pointed towards Jimin's chest and he clutched it dramatically.
"Ah... Namjoon hyung! But my heart is only for you," Jimin spoke out, as if he were reciting a verse.
As soon as he continued his monotonous roleplay, everyone erupted into fits of laughter. For a minute, all the resentment was gone. Namjoon paused for a second and looked at the two smoking happily. Finally, he was content.
"The laughter and work is enough for today. Let's wrap it up for today. Jungkook, you brought your suitcase right?" Namjoon said, breaking the fun as the younger men whined.
"Yes hyung. I brought my suitcase," Jungkook replied, his voice soft and soothing.
"Suitcase?" Jimin asked, widening his eyes.
"You didn't tell him yet?" Namjoon asked Jungkook.
"Tell me what?" Jimin asked once again.
"Jungkook is going to live with you and Tae, Jimin."
