The next morning Yoongi's eyes open and he shuts them back as fast as he can. It's harder for him to return to sleep if his eyes adjust to the light.

"Yoongi, can you get up? Yoongi." He can feel someone shaking his body gently side to side, but he's ignoring it. If he tries really hard maybe they'll go away.

"Yoongi, breakfast is ready. It's been five minutes since I last spoke to you, please wake up."

He's half conscious and the smell of something yummy wafts from the kitchen. He grunts at Jungkook leaning over him.

"You've been doing that for the last half hour, does that mean your awake?"

Yoongi grunts again. "I'm going to take that as a yes."

He sits up and trudges to the kitchen to find five other boys sitting around his kitchen table, and it never ceases to surprise him that after so many years of living alone, he has company sleeping over. Jin hands him a heaping pile of sausages on a plate. He takes a few and some kimchi.

"Alright. Today is brainstorm day, did anyone find any information they would like to share?"

He looks around the room with a questionable expression, and Hoseok raises his hand in a shy manner.

"The Wara Ningyo represent trying to curse someone. What you are supposed to do is use a stake to drive it through the heart of the victim, effectively nailing them to a tree or shrine. The killer didn't do that though."

Jimin says,"Yes. The way I can see his personality he likes teasing people and using information to dangle it in front of their faces. It could be true that he's not using it for their intended purposes."

"So it's up to us to find out the real reason. Weren't there four at the first scene? Three at this one?" Jungkook pulls the newest photographs towards him.

Yoongi stands up. "You're right! The Wara Ningyo are counting down!"

"This could mean he's counting down to something ... a finale?" Jin looks at Jimin for approval.

"Yeah, that's fits him to a tee! He's been enjoying the attention thus far, I would not be surprised that someone as egotistical as him would want to go out with a blow."

Yoongi smiles. "Great! This is good, we're already getting somewhere. What do you guys think about the manga that was missing?"

Taehyung speaks up this time. "There is something, I noticed that it's a bit too much for a coincidence. On page 82, there is a murder. A gruesome murder ..."

Yoongi nods. "That's a strange thing to keep on a child's bookshelf."

"It probably wasn't there to begin with. I'm sure a murderer meticulous enough would replace an entire bookshelf." Jimin replies. He takes his glasses off and rubs them with his shirt.

Do-do-do-dodo-do- his laptop signals a Skype call coming though. He answers it.

"Chief, how are things?" He looks very tired with bags under his eyes.

He sighs. "There has been another murder for the case..."

Hoseok gasps, and everyone huddles around the laptop with Yoongi. When his boss sees everyone, he looks back to Yoongi.

"We were having a meeting which I would like to speak to you about."

His chief smiles, knowing that his Task Force manger isn't slacking off working from home. "Great. Now, onto the case, this new murder is ... it's not very sightly. I will send you some pictures to save you the heart attack of being shocked at the crime scene. It took place in a hotel."

Yoongi nods but gulps. Seeing a picture of a ten year old with their head bashed in and eyeballs crushed, he thought that would be the end of it.

The notification comes through, and he thanks his boss for the opportunity. His boss thanks him, tells him the address of the newest crime scene, then he hangs up. Yoongi looks to the others for support. His face betrays everything, the down pull of his eyebrows, the tight lips, and pained expression.

"Go on, Yoongi. It'll be okay ... well, maybe not, but we need to solve this case. Imagine the happy parents knowing their children are safe," Taehyung says. He pats Yoongi's back once.

He turns back around and clicks on the link. What he sees next is too much to bear, he quickly escapes his friends and rushes to the restroom. The others close the laptop and try not to talk about what they just saw. It's inescapably a horror scene, blood everywhere. The poor person who had to endure that.

"She was a friend of mine, you know," Jin says with a strangled gasp. He's crying. "I had to transport her body to the morgue, looking like that." He cries a bit more and Hoseok goes over to rub his back in comfort.

Jungkook logs the address into his phone and puts it away. He's the most adept at seeing the horrors of what people can do. Police officers have the toughest mentality.

Coming out of the bathroom, Yoongi collects himself with a deep breath. "That was not pleasant, but nor will letting the murderer get away. We must solve this case, so we must go to the crime scene today."

Jungkook and Jimin nod in agreement. Jin pulls himself together and stands up to find his keys, "You guys can take my car today. It'll save you the gas money. I need to be somewhere."

Just as he's about to protest, the lights go out in the entire house. It's pitch black everywhere, and Yoongi curses.

"I didn't pay my bill. Fuck. Just give me a minute ... I'll call my electrician."

Not seeing Jimin move around in the dark, he tiptoes into the kitchen to look inside the envelope he saw previously on his first night. Then comes back into the living room.

"Yoongi?"

"What? I'm on hold."

"Here."

"Hmm?"

Jimin shoves the full envelope into Yoongi's hands. He pulls out the wad of cash inside, "What's this?"

In the dark Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, Hoseok, and Taehyung smile back at him. "Appreciation. Every time one of us has eaten a meal here, or taken a shower we've contributed to paying you back."

Yoongi's eyes widen and he's caught in true surprise. "No one has ever done this for me." He thinks he doesn't deserve it either.

Jin says,"None of us could stay here for weeks on end letting your bill triple in size. Jimin, he told us about the bill when he saw it his first night. He noticed after a few days, you continued to put it off. So we figured we would help."

Yoongi can't contain how much he appreciates these coworkers, and friends, he considers them friends now. Only a true friend would do something like that. Yoongi stutters for words, to express himself but this is what comes out, "Tha-thank you! Thank you."

After the electrician comes on the line, Yoongi tells him that he should pay his bill as soon as his bank deposit goes through.

The murder of twenty year old Jasmine Parker, american, a nice girl with good grades. She lived in a small student apartment on her own. The task force arrives at her home forty minutes later in Busan.

The three approach the crime scene carefully, each of them looking around to make sure they enter without being seen. A squeak noise is heard from Taehyung, as he points to a person outside in bellhop uniform. No one understands except for Yoongi who gasps. That's a first for him.

"It's the suspect," he whispers to the group. "Does he work here? The entire building is quarantined so there's not really a need for him to appear at work."
