Chapter - 25
"Hey, the keys," Jungkook said, reaching into his pocket and handing Y/N the key to the storeroom.
"How did you get it?" Y/N asked, surprised by Jungkook's resourcefulness.
"I have my ways," Jungkook replied mysteriously, a small smile playing on his lips. "Anyways, be careful."
Y/N nodded appreciatively, accepting the key. "Sure."
Y/N prepared to venture into the storeroom, aware of the risks but also motivated by the potential information that lay within. She was grateful for Jungkook's assistance, knowing that they had to proceed with caution and use the opportunity wisely to uncover the truth they were desperately seeking.

Y/N's footsteps quickened as she entered the library, her heart soaring with joy at the thought telling Taehyung and Jimin that she got the keys. However, the sight that greeted her shattered her happiness into a million pieces. Taehyung was hugging a girl so tightly, his actions speaking volumes of a deep connection between them.
As Taehyung pulled away and ruffled the girl's hair, a bittersweet smile playing on his lips, he caught sight of Y/N. The pain in her eyes was mirrored back at him, the unspoken words hanging heavy in the air. Y/N's heart ached as she realized that Taehyung's closeness to the girl was more than just friendship, and the realization broke her in ways she never thought possible.
"Oh, Y/N?" Taehyung called out as he saw her walking past him, a smile on his face that faltered as she continued towards Jimin.
Y/N's voice was monotone as she announced, "Got the keys, meet me at 9 o'clock," before pointedly looking at the girl near Taehyung and stomping out of the library, her emotions brimming beneath the surface.
Confusion clouded Taehyung's expression as he settled down beside Jimin, watching Y/N's retreating figure. "What happened to her?" he questioned, a worried furrow appearing on his brow.
"That, my friend, is called jealousy. She is jealous that you hugged Jenna," Jimin explained as Taehyung looked bewildered by Y/N's reaction.
"But, why would she be jealous of that?" Taehyung inquired, genuinely puzzled by Y/N's emotional response.
"Won't you be jealous if she hugs another guy?" Jimin countered, trying to make Taehyung see things from Y/N's perspective.
"But, Jenna-" Taehyung started, only to be cut off by Jimin's firm insistence, "You go ask her." Taehyung fell into a contemplative silence, the realization dawning on him as he understood the underlying feelings that had fuelled Y/N's unexpected outburst.

A boy stood at the library counter, his gaze fixed on the polaroid picture in his hand. Memories from the past flooded his mind, tugging at his heartstrings as he reminisced about happier times long gone.
His eyes lingered on the image, each detail etched into his memory, stirring up emotions that had been buried deep within him. The boy's expression softened, a wistful smile playing on his lips as he relived the moments captured in the photograph, lost in a world of nostalgia and longing.
FLASHBACK
"Hey, noona? Come here," he called out, beckoning her to sit beside him. "What is it?" she asked as she settled down, curiosity in her eyes.
"Look, I found this in the box," he exclaimed, showing her a polaroid camera. "It's dad's. I wish he was still here," she said, a tinge of sadness lacing her words as she stared at the it.
"Hey, it's still working. Can we take a pic?" he asked, trying to lighten the somber mood that hung in the air.
"Smile~," he said, as they both posed for a new polaroid picture, capturing a moment of togetherness that they would cherish, a flicker of joy amidst the weight of their shared loss.

His eyes glittered with fierce determination as he thought about his one and only sister. "Don't worry, Noona. I won't let any one of them live. I will kill all of them. I love you," he declared, his voice laced with resolve as he gazed at the picture of his sister, a deep sense of vengeance and affection radiating from his words.

"Hey, aren't you coming to eat?" Yuna asked, her voice pulling Y/N out of her thoughts.
"Yeah, I will come later. You go," Y/N replied, a hint of distraction in her tone as Yuna shrugged and left.
Once Yuna was out of sight, Y/N hurried to meet Jimin and Taehyung. "Yah, you are late," Jimin remarked as she approached them.
"Sorry," Y/N murmured, a sense of urgency in her voice.
"So, what's the plan?" Jimin inquired, his eyes reflecting a mix of anticipation and determination. The trio huddled close, ready to unravel the mysteries behind the killer.
The garden was filled with eerie silence, the only sound being the faint tapping of keys as Jimin began hacking into the CCTV system. "You have to hack into the CCTV and jam it. We will enter in," Y/N's voice cut through the tension, their eyes focused on Jimin as he worked diligently on his laptop.
"Alright. It will take some time," Jimin responded calmly, his fingers dancing across the keys with expertise. The glow of the laptop screen illuminated his determined expression as he navigated through the security protocols, the anticipation building with each passing second.
"Y/N," Taehyung called out, but received no response, his jaw clenched in frustration as he realised she was ignoring him.
"Y/N," he called again, his voice tinged with anger, but still met with silence.
"Y/N!" he finally yelled, the desperation evident in his tone.
"WHAT?" she snapped back, her eyes flashing with irritation.
"Will you two lower your voice? I don't want the security to catch us hacking the CCTV. Not to mention, as psychopath is on loose," Jimin interjected, his voice tinged with urgency as he reminded them of the dangerous situation they were in. The tension in the room mounted as they realized the gravity of their mission, the threat of the unknown killer looming over them.

"It's already 9:30. You are not helping," Y/N whined at Jimin, frustration evident in her voice.
"I think they tightened the security system. Let me try," he said assertively, tapping aggressively on the keyboard.
"Done," Jimin announced, as relief washed over the group.
"Finally!" Y/N cheered, grateful for the successful hack.
"Not my fault you are late," Jimin reminded her, a hint of annoyance in his tone.
"Yeah, whatever," she rolled her eyes, brushing off the comment as they prepared to proceed with their plan to uncover the killer's identity from the storeroom.
They walked towards the storeroom and opened it with the key. The creak of the door echoed in the dimly lit room as they stepped inside, their eyes widening at the sight of thousands of files piled high on the shelves.
"How are we going to find it from here?" Taehyung whined, the overwhelming task ahead weighing on his shoulders. Y/N, too, was taken aback by the sheer volume of files, but remained silent as they took in the daunting scene.
Ignoring Taehyung's question, Y/N began to walk deeper into the storeroom, scanning the endless rows of files for any sign of the information they sought. The tension in the air grew thicker as they realized the magnitude of the task ahead.
-
"Guys, it's late," Jimin informed through the phone, a sense of urgency in his voice.
"Shut up, we know," Y/N snapped back, her focus fully on the task at hand.
"Hmmm... Got it. Sooya," she noted, beginning to search through the files in a hurry at Taehyung's urging.
"Details, biodata, family, family background...," she murmured as she turned each page, her eyes scanning the information in a race against time.
"Huh? Where is the next page gone?" she mumbled, a hint of confusion creeping into her voice as she realized a crucial piece of the puzzle was missing.
"What do you mean by next page?" Jimin asked, a sense of concern evident in his voice.
"Her family background is here, but the details of her brother...," Y/N trailed off, her brow furrowed in frustration.
"That page is torn off," Taehyung completed for her, realization setting in as they pieced together the missing information.
"What's now?" Jimin asked, the urgency in the room palpable as they faced another obstacle in their search for the killer's identity.
"Argh, he is always one step ahead of us," Taehyung sighed, the weight of the revelation settling heavily on their shoulders.
"What about checking the computer files?" Y/N suggested, her eyes falling on the computer sitting on the table.
"But it takes time to load," Jimin pointed out, a hint of frustration in his voice.
"You got another idea?" Y/N inquired, her determination shining through as she sought a solution to their predicament. Jimin sighed, knowing that time was of the essence.
"Shh...," Taehyung quieted her suddenly, his ears perked as he listened intently.
"What?" she whispered-yelled, puzzled by Taehyung's sudden urgency.
"Don't you hear that?" Taehyung asked, a flicker of realization crossing his face as he motioned for her to listen closely, their breaths held in anticipation of what may come next.
"Guys, the gardener is coming. Get out of there," Jimin's voice broke through the phone line, filled with urgency and concern.
"You're not helping, Jimin-ssi. Just hold him off for some time. We need to check the computer," Y/N responded, determination lacing her voice as she disregarded the potential danger.
"You must be kidding me," Jimin mumbled to himself, frustration and apprehension evident in his tone. He knew that their time was running out and that they needed to act swiftly if they were to uncover the truth hidden within the computer files.
