"Where do you think you're going, missy?"

Oh fuck.

Wait...

What?!

I looked at him with my wide eyes shocked. What the hell... How come a police officer came into our street...? Is he appointed by my dad?

I gulped when he raised an eyebrow. Actually, he wasn't wearing any police uniform. He just had a police badge which made me assume so.

"O-Oh um..." I hesitated. I didn't know why but my heart was beating very fast in nervousness. I felt scared...

I smiled awkwardly while crumpling my hands into fists behind my sweaty back. He just smirked and advanced towards me with an unchanged expression.

Does he know about my plan or what?

I closed my eyes and the next thing I heard was some chuckling sound.

What?

"Huh?" I opened my eyes in confusion. The 'policeman' was smiling at me as if he was joking. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

He soon folded his arms and the men behind him started to speak on their walkie-talkies while setting up some kinds of barricades all around our street. The atmosphere was tense and panic-filled. It felt as if there was some seriousness in the air.

"Jackson Wang..."

I flinched when I heard my father's voice right behind me. He smiled at the policeman and they shook hands. I still had a confused gaze plastered on my face. Dad was so polite...

Does dad know him? How do they know each other?

"Who is he dad?" I asked looking back at Yoongi and Namjoon who too, had come out of the house. Dad turned around and grinned at me before speaking.

"Oh... Miso, meet Jackson, a newly recruited detective in our department." Oh... That's why he didn't wear the uniform... He isn't a police officer but a detective. "Jackson? Meet Miso, my daughter." He looked back at the man and introduced me.

Oh... So he doesn't know about my plan.

Hehe.

"Hello." I greeted while bowing a little with impatience. I was getting late... If I needed some evidence against that joker, I needed to move faster but...

"Hello, Miss Miso. Nice to meet you. Your dad has told me a lot about you and I hope to know about you too." He winked and started to blink innocently. Gosh... He's a flirt.

"U-Um... Me too." I pushed back the strand of my hair while internally gritting my teeth in annoyance.

Me too, yeah...

I'll see you later once I'm done with this, you flirt-

"Miso? Aren't you getting late? You should go to Jisoo's house faster." Dad smiled before motioning me to leave and I continuously nodded. "Yeah, right. I'll take my leave, bye everyone!" I started to walk away in another direction but...

"Wait!"

Hoe.

"Where are you going, Miso? I mean, how are you going? Isn't it dangerous for you to go outside at this time? Especially when there's a criminal lurking around the streets?" Yoongi questioned being proud of the way he spoke.

Bitch no-

"Right! Mr. Min, you shouldn't send your daughter out at this time." That Jackson joined Yoongi and nodded towards dad, making him bewildered with their sudden outbursts. Oh no...

"I-I..."

"What are you even thinking about, Mr. Min? Do you know why I'm here?" Jackson sighed with a disappointed expression which made dad turn his head right towards him. "Right... What brings you here, Jackson?" He asked, puzzled.

"Sir... We've got some news. A 16-year-old boy was brutally murdered in this street last night and that's why we need to set up protection here." I gasped hearing his unexpected words.

"What, how?" Namjoon asked in worry. Jackson just shook his head with a shivery look and licked his lips before looking back at us.

"It's the Joker."

"How can you be so sure?" I retorted back at his casual tone.

"It's simple. The boy has the same type of cuts and bruises that were found on every victim of that joker... The worst thing is that there are never any handprints or any kind of skin contact with the victim, which makes the whole case very confusing... I mean, how can someone murder a person without a single clue? Even no use of weapons? Sorry, but that's just unbelievable..." He finished.

"If there are no prints, then what makes you so sure that it was none other than the 'joker'?" I nibbled on my lip, looking at him as intensely as possible. All he did was smirk back.

"Cuz the victim's back is engraved with the word 'V'."

My mouth parted in speechlessness. How can someone kill someone without a single fingerprint? That's... Impossible.

"That's risky... Miso? You're not going anywhere tonight! Stay in the house, you get me?!" Dad shouted in fear and I gulped feeling my throat completely parched up due to anxiousness.

I-I need to go there... I need to lessen dad's worry...

"DAD! I'm just going to Jisoo's house, trust me! I'll be coming back in her car after dinner! D-Don't worry about me, please..." I practically begged my father while joining my hands infront of him with a weak expression and I knew he couldn't resist me.

"M-Miso..." He opened his mouth in retaliation but soon closed it back while exhaling.
"Fine! Go fast and come back even faster!"

I smiled in glee at him and soon hugged him.

"Thank you, Dad!" Kissing his both cheeks, I ran off to 'Jisoo's' house.

Sorry, dad... I'll lie to you just this once.

...

I soon reached far away from my house. It was nighttime, so many people weren't on the streets. Especially near any alleys...

I kept walking and soon hissed which caused the fog to escape my mouth. The weather was already too cold and coming out at night was just like freezing to death.

"Oh damn..." I rubbed my palms together, feeling the coldness seeping through my bones, making them numb and my ears started to beep continuously too, due to the numbness which had made them red.

Suddenly, I spotted the Gam-Dong Alley...

"Well, here goes nothing!" I spoke and started to run towards the street only to widen my eyes in shock and frustration. I soon hid behind the corner of an abandoned building.

Well, it really went nothing...

Right... There was a big group of police patrolling all around the street, both inside and outside at the entrances. The entire road was barricaded, blocking the way into the street and police cars were standing all across the road. There was a lot of commotion in the area as well.

They were continuously communicating with the police officers in the other streets, through their walkie-talkies.

"Shit Sherlock." What now... How am I supposed to enter the street if they keep guarding it like that?

"God please..." I closed my eyes knowing that it was me who had to do something, not God.

...

In a few minutes, a brilliant idea crossed my mind. "Hah!" I nodded to myself. It won't last forever but long enough for me to enter...

I cleared my throat and walked towards the officers.

They soon noticed my presence and looked at me with frowns.

"What are you doing here, miss? You should go back, it's quite late now." The first police officer spoke in a strict tone with blank eyes whereas I just gave him a sweet smile.

"Oh, sir! Looks like you don't really know me, do you?" I chuckled.

"Huh?"

"I'm Detective Min's daughter," I smirked when his jaw hung lower than Yoongi's standards. He soon regained back his posture and looked at me with wide yet submissive eyes.

"O-Oh ma'am! How can I help you?" he spoke while quickly dialing a number which made me aware of his actions. "Don't you dare!" I stopped him midway, causing him to flinch and glance at me. My hands curled up into fists.

"I'm here to inform you that you need to go to the street where Detective Wang is present. He asked me to notify you about the sudden change of location." I spoke with worried eyes. His eyebrows just creased.

"What? But aren't we supposed to guard this area? The 'joker' can be here any minute!" He shouted out desperately. Gosh... Why does he have to be so damn workaholic?

"Oh no! You didn't see the news that's coming on T.V. right now?" I asked in fake shock while battling my eyelashes.

I hope this works...

"W-What news?" He became complicated.

"Oh right... How would you even know? You're on a duty." I nodded while pursing my lips, making him even more impatient. "Well, the Joker has dropped a new location as to where he'll murder. He changed his location from Gam-Dong to my house's street, and Mr. Jackson wants you all to gather there immediately. That area needs a lot of protection now!" I announced while clapping my hands.

"Oh no... Does that joker think we're fools?! Let's go, everyone! We'll catch him today!" The police officer walked aggressively towards his car door and opened it before sitting inside, followed by the other policemen. They soon started their cars and swiftly drove off to another street in a minute.

I sighed.

I'm sorry everyone...

...

12:00 A.M.

Finally...

It's time.

"Let's see how many guts you have in your balls." Scoffing while looking at my watch, I gazed at the empty, dark street ahead of me, waiting for the murderer to be spotted in it.

I walked deeper and deeper but all in vain. There was nothing... Not even a single leaf sound. Just my footsteps...

"oof!" I huffed in frustration. Looks like all my efforts were for nothing. It's happening just the opposite of what I had intended... Here I thought I might encounter that so-called joker but look at what I'm doing right now... Just walking in the streets like a dumb girl even after knowing that the area is famous for all kinds of criminals...

I was about to walk further but there was a sudden sound behind me. A sound of footsteps... Wait. I didn't move... Then how...

My entire body froze. I didn't move an inch because I needed to be cautious of what was about to happen and when. For that, I needed to focus, not be worried...

"W-What was that..." I muttered to myself in the silent alley which was filled with such an aura that made it even difficult to breathe. I didn't know why, but it was getting scarier.

Calm down, Miso...

It's just your hallucination.

I gulped while inhaling a sharp breath but my heart's beating pace increased when my ears sensed some shuffling sounds... It felt as if someone blew hot breaths right on the right side of my neck.

G-Gosh... This is getting intense...

W-What do I do? Shall I turn around? No! That would certainly be a bad idea... I shouldn't show my weaker side to whoever is the person... I need to act as if I don't know anything even though my body is burning with fear and dreary.

But why isn't the person speaking anything? Urgh! Now, this is making me even more impatient...

"I-It isn't the 'joker', right? Nah... What bullshit! That's most probably a dirty doing of some politicians... There isn't any c-criminal with that meaningless name, right...?" I spoke, trying to provoke the person and also trying to believe the fallacy I was trapping myself into but all my hopes got vanished once I heard a deep, seductive voice right behind me.

"What if he's real, babygirl?"

He chuckled in a whisper.

Babygirl? Ew-

My breath hitched right at the moment when his raspy voice came in contact with my ear, which caused all the hair on my skin to stand straight.

This... This voice is familiar...

I gulped fiercely and decided to turn around with the knife which I had taken from the kitchen.

The moment I took just a step, my heart exploded when I felt soft but cold lips on my shoulder, pecking it tenderly, rather possessively... I was breathless...

W-What was that...

The moment I felt the kiss, an electric shock passed through my entire body, making me weak... Very weak... It felt strangely... good?

My eyes were closing, as if under a spell and I tried to run, distracting myself from all the hypnotizing feel but all in vain. He had already gripped my waist hard enough that made my body red with a burning sensation. He was... He was too strong...

N-No... I need to do something.

"I asked you. What if he's a real criminal, just standing behind you with a knife, hm baby? What're you gonna do then, huh? Run? Why don't you try it then?" My body shook hard when he spoke with his hoarse voice which was followed by his sinister laugh. My body had completely given up by then. All I did was just miss my family... I should've listened to them.

And that's when the complete realization hit me that the 'so-called joker' wasn't actually a so-called joker. He was something not to be taken for granted which I had already taken and now, I was suffering...

I don't want to die...

The next thing I knew was that I fainted in the arms of a complete stranger who was acting like a total psycho. All I heard were his faint laughs...

"Right there, baby... You belong right here... In my arms, darling."

Fuck, I'm doomed.
