At Yoongi's workplace

'Can people see ghosts?'

Yoongi almost snorted when he saw the millions of articles claiming that people could see and hear ghosts. Gifted individuals who have been chosen by God.

I need to remember that name. NJ Brothers.

'What are some of the causes of hallucinations?'

After pressing enter, the search engine loaded for a split second, and a slew of websites and answer boxes appeared as a result.

Withdrawal from alcohol

Dementia and other types of brain disorders

Migraines

Other than anxiety and depression about the current situation, he wasn't sure if any of these applied to Jimin.

'The unsolved case of the Daegu missing boys,' He was drawn to one of the articles that appeared.

Gyeongsan, the location of Jimin's foster care. While reading the article, he called a friend in his department, IU, and asked her to provide him with the missing case file.

"How's your case going?" IU inquired as she handed him the case files.

"I'm afraid we'll have to close the case very soon. All of the evidence points to him being a fugitive. But I'm going to give it one more shot."

"I have faith in you. You'll solve this case just like you did the last one," She patted his back, giving him room to continue his research.

"I'll have to meet the boy again," Yoongi mumbled as he dialed the boy's number, "Min Yoongi here. Your investigating officer. We'll have to meet again tomorrow."

Yoongi sat back and watched Jimin devour his second cheeseburger and fries. Since their food arrived, his gaze never rose to meet Yoongi's.

"What?" He muffles another bite of his cheeseburger.

"Could you please slow down a little? " Yoongi chuckled while the younger completely ignored his remark, clearing his plate. He was about to steal some of Yoongi's fries when he grabbed his hands and pinned them against the table, far away from his fries.

"Didn't your Hyung give you anything to eat today?"

"I didn't get enough sleep yesterday," Jimin struggled, then smiled as Yoongi offered him his fries.

"Could you tell me what happened to you yesterday?"

" I ran into him again, Hyung."

Yoongi was perplexed, his brows collapsing.

"The bathtub boy."

"Am I missing something?" Yoongi inquired, dipping his french fries in the tomato sauce while waiting for Jimin to respond.

"I drowned in the tub, not the other way around."

"Do you remember how he looks?" Yoongi inquired, his eyes bright with hope.

"Last night, I attempted to draw him. And I'm confident that he'll be the key to our case," Jimin drew a piece of paper from his pocket as he walked, studying the drawing one last time before handing it to Yoongi.

"That's interesting. Let me now show you what I discovered. If you're finished, we'll go to my house," Yoongi suggested watching him nod.

Yoongi lived alone in his house, which was furnished. There were whiteboards scattered everywhere as he tackled his drawing with the photo. Jimin took a step closer, his eyes widening at the sight of the pretty stranger he had drawn.

"Your drawing is quite accurate. Look at this."

Jimin's gaze was drawn once more to his photograph. The boy in the bathtub.

He had dark brown hair that reached his ears and covered his forehead. His face was angular, with a sharp jaw, thin lips, and eyes that cut like a knife while also looking through a soul. They were dark brown orbs that stared intensely, and they were eyes that you could easily drown in with how slick they are.

"His name is Kim Taehyung."
