"Ow...ugh. My head...where am I?" I slowly got up from the bed, trying to recognize my surroundings. I was in my room in Guk's apartment.

It took a few minutes for me to recollect my memories from last night. I remember I was furious at Jungkook, I was violently gulping down drink after drink when suddenly everything went black.

Ah oh! I voice...yes. I heard someone shouting me name before I collapsed. Who was it? Did that voice help me reach home?

As I stood there thinking of the possible scenarios that must've happened while I was unconscious, I noticed something on my clothes and the wall.

A bloody handprint on the wall.

My clothes, bloodstained.

Instinctively I checked my hands.

My hands were covered in dry blood!

Oh my god, did I hurt somebody? Almost immediately, thoughts of I harming Jungkook started flooding my head.

Was my mind playing dirty tricks on me? I had to find him. Please be home, Jungkook!

I simultaneously called him but he wasn't picking up. COME ON, WHERE ARE YOU JEON JUNGKOOK?!

I ran down the hall, Jungkook's room, the bathrooms, the kitchen - he was nowhere to be found.

Oh dear, what have you done Lalisa?

I was dangerously drunk last night, it was certain I could've harmed anybody.  No, easy Lisa, he must be at Sana's place? They might've ended up there, who knows?

Or what if....he was the found who found me and I killed him? Could I do that?

Then would've I possibly killed Sana?

I was in a state of terror. My heart was racing so fast that I could literally hear my heartbeats. Panic was starting to build up. I grabbed the phone and tried to ring him a call again, when suddenly the main door opened ㅡ with Jungkook standing, arms crossed and a subtle look on his face.

"JUNGKOOK!!"

I rushed towards him and in an instant I engulfed him into a hug. He was devastated at first, but slowly hugged me back. For a moment I forgot what had happened last night. For a moment, holding him in my arms was more important than anything else.

But yes, only for a moment.

Because the very next moment, I ensured he gets a tight slap on his face. Enough to leave a red imprint.

"Ah! First you run into my arms then you slap me? It hurts so much, make up your mind at least Lisa!" He whined, holding his now abused cheek.

"No,not is you who needs to shut the fuck up and listen!"

"Woah...okay."

"How dare you accuse me of hypocrisy when you're the one who went out on a date with Sana!?!"

"Look, I..."

"I'M NOT DONE YET! SHE TRIED TO KILL ME AND YET YOU DID THIS TO ME?!!" I yelled all my rage out at him.

"YOU'VE BETRAYED ME GUK! And the audacity of you to actually make me think I killed you?! How ridiculous is that!!"

"Can you please hear me out?" He pleaded.

"Try. Maybe I won't shoot you." I said uninterested to hear his excuses.

"Fine..." He sighed and gestured the way to the living room, to give a reasonable explanation as he called it.

He nervously took a deep breath before he started to explain. "To be honest, I wasn't happy that you were going on  a date with Taehyung again. I felt jealous. I wasn't in the mood to go out last night. That was until I got a call from Sana, the same way she had called you months back. She wanted me to kill you, she said she got my number across the dark web.

There was no doubt in my mind of what I needed to do. So I agreed to meet her and discuss the paperwork. She offered me a high pay for the job and wanted to discuss the details of your assasination in person."

"So did you..." I asked out of uncertainty.

He nodded in affirmation. "She wasn't going to stop right then and I knew you wouldn't allow me to do it. So I made up an excuse and went to meet Sana as Jeongguk. I convinced her that I was sorry that she lost Taehyung because of the mistake we did. She seemed to believe me and spilled her plans of hiring a sniper to shoot you.

Every single thing about that woman disgusted me. Pretending to still admire her was the hardest part to play. The only way I could resist her from touching me and feeling me up was to imagine she was you. The only thing I could think of all the while I was with her was the way she hurt you that day. She almost took you away from me. I had it all planned up, I silently played along if I had to avenge your attempted murder.

I got her drunk and convincingly drove her home. As soon as we entered inside, I got ready to attack. I poured some chloroform on a handkerchief and forcefully grabbed her from behind, the cloth gagged her breath as she passed out just when she tried to scream. I slit her wrist with one of her kitchen knives, dropping it beside her to making it seem like a suicide. After all, she had a very good reason to do it since she had now become lonely and lost Taehyung. I sat up and waited for her to bleed to death. I maneuvered her suicide note using her blood, making sure to write Taehyung in bold letters so that the intentions behind the death are very clear. I made sure to leave no imprints behind and I immediately left the place after staging the act."

"I can't believe you really would do that, Guk." I was astonished, I still couldn't believe his words.

"I was just trying to protect you, doll. I know I had promised you that I wouldn't hurt her but I informed Sehun about the call before making sure of my plans. I murdered her after Sehun also agreed to it."

I immediately hugged him. I don't see him as a murderer. I know what he did was wrong, Sana didn't deserve a death like this. It would affect Taehyung a lot, but I was thankful to Jungkook. Because he went all the way to protect me.

Releasing myself from his arms, I asked in confusion, "B-but what about the blood on my hands?"

"Its mine actually. I traced your number and found you at a bar in a not-so-healthy state. But when I came there to help you, uhm....you kinda took your anger out on my face - by punching my nose specifically. But damn, I was impressed by your boxing skills doll."

"How come I don't remember any of this?"

"You then wrestled a bit with me and smeared blood on your dress and hands before passing out. You being drunk is a sight to see but can be a literal pain in the ass, haha."

"Still, I'm proud that at least I can defend myself even when I'm drunk."

"Ain't no one denying that!" Jungkook exclaimed as we snickered. He then inched closer to me, suddenly planting a kiss on my forehead while engulfing me into a hug again.

My face against his chest as his chin rested on my forehead. "I'm sorry for lying to you, Lali. I didn't mean to cause an emotional breakdown. I know I did you wrong." He whispered.

"Y-you....you should've at least told me. But now I understand why you did it."

"Sehun has called us for the briefing. We wouldn't to be late. We should leave now." Jungkook stated and I nodded in response.

The next morning;

I was just awake, feeling the day was gloomier than usual. This normally never happened, my intuition was warning something was about to go wrong.

I didn't have a good feeling about this.

I rolled up the curtains, letting the light enter my room and was headed to freshen up, when Guk barged into my room.

"Lisa!" He called out. He was heavily panting, both his hands firmly grabbing the door for support.

"What happened to you?"

"H-have y-you seen the news? It's about Sana. T-Taehyung was t-there at her apartment..." he breathed out as my eyes widened in shock.

Switching on the television, we quickly plugged on to the headlines, featuring Sana's tragic death.

The news anchor reported, "Famous singer-actress and supermodel Sana Minatozaki was found dead this morning at her apartment. The cause of death is still being investigated, though the causes point to a possible suicide. The police officials retrieved a suicide note from her apartment. She was depressed and suffered from post breakup trauma and gradual loss of fame in the industry. According to the statement released by police officials, she's been dead for more than thirty-six hours. Her ex-fiance Kim Taehyung was present at her apartment and was the first one to report the case."

Oh, dear. Taehyung wasn't supposed to be there, what was he doing at her residence in the first place! Jungkook and I were stunned.

"Jungkook....I'll be going over to his place...its really unfortunate and I know how it feels to find your loved one dead. He must need support. And I....I need to know why he went over to her place."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Here goes a not-so-good tragedy track.

By the way why do you think Taehyung was there at Sana's place? Also, might there been a possibility that he must've spotted Jungkook killing her?

I want to know your opinion on this.

Also, wattpad finally allowed me to republish my other book, 'A Psychotic Mind'! It was taken down  accidentally some weeks ago. Do check out the foreward, it's a crime-thriller au.

Until next update
