Chapter - 26
Yoongi walked towards the storeroom to put his tools away when someone suddenly caught his hand, causing him to turn in surprise.
"Hyung," the stranger called out, their voice filled with desperation.
"Huh? Who are you?" Yoongi asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"I'm Jimin. I lost my friends on the way," the newcomer explained, nervously glancing around.
"And why are you telling me that?" Yoongi replied, annoyance lacing his voice as he questioned the stranger's motives. Suspicion gnawed at Yoongi as he wondered if Jimin could be trusted, his guard raised in this unfamiliar situation.
"Um - I - I am afraid to go back alone. Can you -" Jimin stuttered, his voice filled with desperation.
"No," Yoongi cut him off abruptly, his tone cold and unwavering.
"But I haven't -" Jimin attempted to plead his case.
"Whatever it is, my answer is no," Yoongi stated firmly, his patience wearing thin.
"Please," Jimin begged, his voice trembling with fear.
"No," Yoongi repeated, his response resolute and final. The tension hung heavy in the air as the two of them faced off, uncertainty and mistrust casting a shadow over their interaction.
"What if I encounter the killer on my way? He will kill me," Jimin pleaded, his voice trembling as he gazed up at Yoongi with wide, pleading eyes.
"Do I look like I care?" Yoongi replied callously, shaking his head as he started to walk past Jimin, displaying no sympathy or concern.
"Hyung, please," Jimin whined, desperation seeping into his voice.
"Look kid, I am already tired. Don't make me angry," Yoongi warned, his patience wearing thin as he continued to push forward.
"But-" Jimin began to protest, his voice trailing off with a mix of fear and hopelessness.
"Just go away," Yoongi snapped, his tone final and lacking any kindness as he brushed off Jimin's pleas, resolute in his decision to distance himself from the desperate situation.
As Yoongi approached the storeroom door, a sudden pang of doubt struck him. "Huh? Did I forget to lock the door?" he wondered, a twinge of concern washing over him.
On the other end of the line, panic gripped Jimin's thoughts. "God, he is going to find them. What do I do now?" he frantically pondered, feeling the weight of the impending discovery.
-
"Guys, I tried my best. But he is coming inside. Hide fast!" Jimin urgently shouted through the phone, his voice filled with desperation as he desperately tried to warn them about the imminent danger.
"What?" both Y/N and Taehyung exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with surprise and confusion, as the door suddenly swung open and Yoongi walked into the storeroom. In that moment, time seemed to freeze as the weight of potential consequences hung heavily in the air.
But to their amazement, Yoongi's attention seemed oblivious to their presence. Lost in his own thoughts, his mind consumed by the guilt he felt for his earlier cold demeanor towards Jimin, he remained unaware of their presence in the storeroom.
"What if he gets killed?" Yoongi sighed, his concern evident as he stepped outside the storeroom, only to find a visibly tense Jimin waiting for him.
"Come on, I will walk with you until the dormitory, but don't expect it next time," Yoongi stated, his voice laced with a mixture of gruffness and care.
"Huh? Oh, thank you, hyung," Jimin responded with a grateful smile, relieved by Yoongi's unexpected offer of help.
In Jimin's mind, a sense of confusion mingled with relief. "Didn't he see them? They must have hidden," he thought, realizing that Yoongi's unawareness of their presence in the storeroom spared them from potential trouble.
"Aren't you coming?" Yoongi asked, glancing back at Jimin who seemed momentarily lost in his thoughts.
"Yeah," Jimin replied, snapping out of his daze and hurriedly running to catch up with Yoongi's stride.

As Yoongi went outside, Taehyung and Y/N finally allowed themselves to relax, the tension slowly dissipating from their bodies.
"God, I thought we were dead for a moment," Taehyung breathed out, a mixture of relief and lingering anxiety evident in his voice. However, Y/N remained focused on the computer screen, their eyes narrowed in frustration.
"Argh. He deleted it too," Y/N mumbled in disappointment, the weight of the missing information sinking in.
"Let's go then, he will come back soon," Taehyung suggested, urging Y/N to move on from their fruitless search. Taehyung's expression fell as Y/N ignored him, her attention solely focused on the deleted information on the computer screen.
"Stop being stubborn, get up," Taehyung said firmly, attempting to pull Y/N to her feet, but she remained rooted to the spot, lost in her own thoughts.
"Y/N," he sighed in resignation, sitting down next to her. "That girl... that's my sister, Jenna," he explained, a soft smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
"Huh? What?" Y/N exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening as she looked at Taehyung, the realization dawning on her. A smile slowly spread across her face, her jealousy dissipating as she felt a wave of relief wash over her.
"It's my sister, stupid. You don't have to be jealous of her," Taehyung said, affectionately ruffling Y/N's hair in a teasing manner.
"Who told you I am jealous?" Y/N asked, a hint of defiance in her voice.
"You are," he smirked, seeing right through her facade.
"No, I am not," she retorted, shooting him a playful glare.
"Whatever, I am going," Taehyung shrugged as he stood up and headed towards the door.
"Yah, come back here," Y/N yelled, a sense of urgency in her voice as she quickly ran after him, eager to make amends and clear up any misunderstandings.

"Morning," Y/N greeted as she reached the group, who were waiting anxiously for her to reveal any updates on their search for the killer.
"How did it go?" Jaehyun inquired, his eyes filled with hope.
"No use," Y/N replied, her voice tinged with disappointment.
"Aish, what will we do now?" Eunwoo sighed in frustration, running a hand through his hair.
"No idea," Y/N murmured, feeling the weight of their unsuccessful efforts pressing down on her.
"Hey," Jimin greeted as him and Taehyung joined them, offering a ray of hope with his presence.
"Morning," Taehyung greeted Y/N with a warm smile, his earlier tease forgotten as they all stood together, united in their determination to solve the mystery at hand.
"Wah, Kim Taehyung knows how to greet?" Jungkook teased, earning a death glare from Taehyung in response.
"Well, see you all at the library after exams," Y/N announced, her voice filled with determination as they prepared to continue their investigation. The group exchanged nods and murmurs of agreement as they dispersed, each focused on their individual tasks but united in their mission to uncover the truth.
-
"Hey, how were the exams?" Yuna inquired as she approached Y/N.
"Not bad. Yours?" Y/N responded, slinging her bags over her shoulder.
"Good. Well, do you have some time to hang out with me?" Yuna asked eagerly.
"Why are you even asking? I am born ready," Y/N exclaimed, a smile lighting up her face at the prospect of spending time with her friend.
"Well, you look kinda busy with Taehyung ssi and all," Yuna teased, winking mischievously as she made a playful jab at Y/N's relationship with Taehyung.
"Shut up," Y/N playfully nudged Yuna, laughing at her friend's sudden declaration.
"Whatever. I am going to propose to Beomgyu," Yuna announced with a mischievous grin.
"What? Seriously?" Y/N exclaimed, surprised by Yuna's bold decision.
"Yeah. I will tell you the details later," Yuna replied with a wink, excitement evident in her voice.
"Alright. All the best," Y/N wished her friend, before turning and walking towards the library, her mind still processing Yuna's unexpected news.
She checked her phone and noted that Taehyung and the others had fifteen minutes left for the exam to finish. With a sense of calm, she made her way towards the library counter, only to find it empty.
"Argh, even Jin-ssi is not here?" she thought to herself, feeling a hint of disappointment at the absence of their reliable librarian. She glanced around, the quietness of the library amplifying the solitude she felt without her friends or the familiar presence of Jin-ssi.
Suddenly, Y/N's elbow accidentally collided with something, causing it to fall to the ground. She looked down to see a book, and curiosity got the better of her as she picked it up.
"Oh, he writes a diary?" she pondered, noticing the worn-out cover and dog-eared pages. Intrigued, she decided to open it, wondering what secrets it held within.
However, as she flipped through the pages, a picture slipped out and gracefully fluttered to the floor. Y/N's eyes widened with surprise as she leaned down to retrieve it. Her heart skipped a beat as her gaze locked onto the image that had fallen before her.
In the picture, a guy with captivating blue eyes stood next to Sooya, both of them sporting wide smiles that radiated joy and familiarity.
"I- It was him?" Y/N whispered to herself, her heart pounding in her chest as the realization began to sink in.
"Yes. It was me." A voice suddenly rang out, causing Y/N's head to snap up in surprise. Her eyes widened as she saw the person standing before her, the very same guy from the photo. It was him, the one she had never expected to see face to face.
