Jungkook's POV

I decided to be there at the cafe, to make sure hyung was there with them safe and sound. After cutting the cake, I left so I could get back home as soon as possible and see if Jin tries to do something fishy.

I finally reached home, looking around for any signs of Taehyung but there were none. I went in and up the stairs. I unlocked the door and entered, to find the apartment quite and empty.

Is he home? Am I too late?

I quickly locked the door and searched for him. When I found him sleeping in his room hugging RJ, I breathed a sigh of relief. I carefully closed the door and went to my room.

What now?

I looked around the room to see how I could pass the time. I decided on playing Overwatch.

50 minutes later

I stopped playing as I realized I was thirsty. I stretched and got up to go to the kitchen. I passed the lounge, and headed towards the doorway of the kitchen but stopped as I saw Jin leaning the counter, his cellphone placed on it beside him. When he saw me, he smiled.

"Jungkook, you didn't go to the party?" He asks.

"I did.."

"Why did you come back?"

"I...I was bored, so I thought I would come back" I say, trying very hard to act and sound normal.

"Oh really?" He pushes himself away from the counter and starts walking towards me but stops halfway. "Was it that you were bored or was it that you had to keep an eye on me?" He smirks. I don't reply, to which his smirks widens.

Asshole

"I'm surprised you thought I'd do something...." He says, acting innocent.

"I'm surprised you can still keep up the act when we both know what you were upto." I snap. "But hyung is safe now, he's with the others, you can't do anything to him" He laughs.

"Who said I was targeting him?" My breathing halts and my eyes widen.

"W-what do you mean?" I ask.

"Well you see, my target is Hoseok but not directly. To get him, I had to use bait. And we all know there's only one bait which he'd be interested in" My heartbeat quickens, my breathing heavy as I realize who that bait is.

"Who....?" I ask nonetheless, hoping it isn't who I think it is.

"Lisa, who else?"

My hands move to grab my cellphone from the pocket but he's fast. He grabs my wrist with one hand and my neck with the other, pushing me against the wall.

"What do you think you are doing?" He asks. "Trying to save Lisa? Do you think you are a savior, boy?" He cackles. "Well, Jungkook, too late! And now, it's your turn." He says as his grip around my neck tightens, and I start having trouble breathing, black covering my vision.

Taehyung's POV

I don't know how but I got there on time, breaking in through the kitchen window and pulling Jin away from Jungkook. Jin tumbles back but catches himself before he falls. He moves forward, throwing a punch at my face, causing me to hit the wall behind me. He grabs me and throws me on the floor. He sits over me and starts punching me.

I was able to stop him and push him back hard. I use my powers to keep him down as he struggles. I conjure a dagger.

"You are powerless." I growl at him. His eyes widen as I raise the dagger and bring it down, putting an end to him.

I breathe heavily, as Jin goes limp. I let go of the dagger and my hands shake a bit. I stand up and rush towards Jungkook who was on the floor, crying, his head in his hands. I dropped on my knees in front of him as he looked up.

"T-taehyung" He cried as he hugged me and cried harder. I held him tightly

"Baby, it's alright now. Please don't cry... I-I saw your hyung. He was fine and there was no sign of that killer" I spoke quickly, trying to calm him down.

"N-no. He never wanted to kill h-hyung." I stilled after what he said. "H-he used L-lisa to get hyung. I don't know in what sense. B-but he used Lisa. He used Lisa..." He sobbed. My eyes widened as I realized that my estimates were completely wrong.

"I-I'm so sorry, Jungkook" I say, I didn't know what else to say, how to tell him how sorry and guilty I was.

"I-it's not you fault"

He may say that it wasn't my fault but it was, I was supposed to help Jungkook, save a person but I just got a person killed despite saving the one I thought was in trouble.

How can I ever forgive myself?

Hoseok's POV

1 hour later

"Where's Lisa?" I ask as I realize she hasn't been back yet.

"I don't know... I thought she went to buy something" Soyeon replied.

"Yeah but it's been an hour now"

"Maybe she went home?"

"But why?"

"She must not be feeling well or.... I don't know. We should go too." Soyeon says.

"...Okay" I say, still feeling unsure. Baekhyun pays for the food and then we leave the cafe with Baekhyun whining about how it was unfair that he always pay for the food.

I do not feel sorry.

Soyeon and Baekhyun lead the way as I trail behind slowly, looking around to see if I find Lisa by chance while shielding my eyes from the sharp sun rays.

She must not be feeling well.... But she could've asked us to drop her....

"Excuse me? Are you Hoseok-kun?" I'm suddenly brought out of my deep thoughts as I turn around and come face to face with a girl.

She's short, has black wavy hair. She's wearing a black face mask which covers her face till her nose.

"Yes....?" I say as I try to figure out what exactly she called me.

Hoseok-ah?  No..... Something like Hoseok-kun. Hm. She's Japanese. But my name doesn't match with that -Kun.

"Ah! Thank god! I thought I'd never find you."

"And you are?"

"Oh, sorry! I'm Sae. Sae Kiyoko. I'm Lisa's friend."

"Oh"

"Yes. Lisa asked me to tell you to go up the hill that looks over the city."

"She did?" I ask, confusion washing over me. I turn around to find that Soyeon and Baekhyun were long gone. I sigh and turn back.

"Yes she did. I would suggest you start walking there now. We don't want her waiting." She says. Oh! And here. A gift. It's not much.... "

"Oh! You didn't had to" I say as she hands me a small rectangular gift.

"Oh no it's fine. It's you birthday after all." She says, giving me an eye smile.

"Well, thank you. I'll see you around." I say and give her a smile before starting to walk towards the hill.

Time Skip

I was now standing at the edge of the hill that was overlooking the city. It all looked so beautiful.

But Lisa wasn't here, or at least she wasn't at the moment. I decided to sit on the big log lying nearby to pass the time. It was a perfect place to watch the city below.

I decided to see what the gift was so I started unwrapping it. It turned out to be another Snickers bar. I shrugged and held it as I looked around. I checked the time. It was 3:20 PM.

I sighed as I waited for Lisa, wondering where she could be. Was she even coming though? What if that girl was just pranking me?  But she knew me and Lisa.

How long am I supposed to wait?

*light thud*

I turn around to find a pile of black and white clothes on the grass. I get up and walk to it. As I get closer, I feel something is wrong.

As the clothes come into a clearer view, my eyes widen because they are Lisa's clothes. I get on my knees as I grab the black skirt and pull it away to see the same sequins on it. Under it was her purse. I grab her white shirt. It has drops of blood on it. My heart beat quickens as fear starts filling it.

Just then I hear a rope being scratched against a surface and I look up and freeze.

The color gone from my face, the Snickers bar in my hand, the weather sunny, my birthday and Lisa's body hung upside down from the tree branch, skinned.
