Taehyung.. was dead. He was never going to be alive again. He was, and is truly, dead. Murdered. Murdered by one of them who lies as the name of "Murderer''.

That's what made Jimin so angry. Not knowing who murdered his best friend. Not knowing whether or not he'll be next. Feeling this way. He let his sadness take over, though, shaking and sobbing, bent over on the ground.

The other members felt the same way. They were shocked that another death had happened. They stood in a circle, the middle having Jimin and Taehyung.

They couldn't believe what had happened either. One day he was there, and the next he was dead. They felt sad and anger. Some were crying, and some felt angry.

Especially Jimin. He took it the worst. His best friend, who he had known for years, was dead. He stayed on the ground, crying. The others stood awkwardly around Jimin, not knowing what to do. Jungkook sobbed, hugging Hoseok as they both sobbed together. Yoongi felt anger. Anger at the fact that he couldn't protect his friend. He had slipped and let another one die.

They all were thinking the same thing, though. "One of us murdered him." It was obvious. It wasn't someone who had broken into their dorm, it wasn't some serial killer, it wasn't some murderer on the loose-

Well, actually.. It was a murderer on the loose. Someone among them was a murderer, and they were still free. They could've just asked the police to help them, but here's the thing. There's a one in three chance that they'll find your killer, and really, they didn't want to deal with that. Also, they were terrified of court, prison, them... Really, just law enforcement. They had realised that from the start, a long time ago. Each person realised a lot of things while this mess had happened.

One thing they all realised together was that there was definitely a traitor in their mix. Between all of them, there was someone who was betraying them.

They couldn't focus on that right now. They just couldn't. Yoongi took a step back. "..If you'll excuse me, I'm going to actually be useful and help solve this." And with that he walked away from the dead body, Namjoon following him.

Jungkook bent down, putting a hand on Jimin's shoulder, looking sorrow. Hoseok slumped himself onto Taehyung's bed, head down.

The mood in the room wasn't great. After all, another death isn't good.

- Investigation Time -

Yoongi turned around, seeing Namjoon. "Ah, so you decided to be useful. Come help me search the floor." Yoongi bends down, inspecting the floor carefully. Namjoon does the same.

"Hmm... there seems to be some hair on the ground. Brown hair, to be exact. It's spreaded around quite evenly though. They must've moved a lot in this room. Somehow it seems suspicious, like it was scattered on purpose." Yoongi questioned.

- Hair added to Evidence: Taehyung -

"I'm sure you got it all wrong." Namjoon said.

"..Okay.." Yoongi looked at Hoseok and Jungkook. "They're the only ones with brown hair. And you, too. I have silver, and Jimin has blond."

"Yep. Must obviously be them.." Namjoon said. "But it wasn't me. I was in my room all night, sleeping. But anyways... Let's see what else there is."

"Sure." Yoongi said, getting up. Namjoon grabs Yoongi's hand, gripping it tight as he walks over to Taehyung. "Taehyung's body has injuries, but I don't think they would kill him." He holds Taehyung's head up, cupping it in his hands. He traces the wounds with his finger along Taehyung's face. "He probably got in a fight."

- Injuries added to Evidence: Taehyung -

Namjoon slowly looks up at Hoseok. He frowns and they catch eye contact. "..Hoseok?"

"Um.. I can explain.." Hoseok says, nervous. Wait, it wasn't him! He didn't... He would never murder Taehyung over something like that. But he's at a loss of words. He needs to say something to save his ass, but he can't get the words out. He nervously looks away as everyone is now staring at him.

"You must've killed him! You fought him, right?" Jimin asked.

"Well, yes, but-"

"I bet you fought Taehyung and then killed him! You're a murderer!" Jimin shouted, then backed away from him, hugging himself tightly.

"No, listen! The night before we all went to sleep Jimin and Taehyung had come home. Me and Yoongi decided to talk to them one on one, and I tried talking to Taehyung. He started it! He tried to punch me, which is why I got this black eye." Of course, what he just said wasn't all true, but he just wanted the blame away from him. Plus, it was like, 80% true, so it would be okay, right?

"Even so, how can we confirm that's what you guys did when me and Jimin left?" Yoongi asked. He was suspicious. He had seen Hoseok, of course, but he was so enveloped in his conversation with Jimin that there was no way he could be sure what they were doing.

"Well, um.." Hoseok took quick glances at Jungkook, hoping he would back him up. Jungkook just stared hopelessly into Hoseok's eyes each time. He wanted to, but..

"Don't do it. They'll suspect you if you tell them. Don't tell them. Keep your mouth shut, c'mon." That's all he heard in his head, on repeat. He wasn't sure what made him do it, but he didn't tell them. The rest of them just walked away to their spots, disappointed. Hoseok glared at Jungkook. Jungkook knew that he had totally messed up, but it wasn't "his fault"... They... He had to. He had to listen to them..

Hoseok pulled Jungkook aside. "Hey, Kook. Let's talk somewhere else." Hoseok's voice hissed, sending shivers up Jungkook's spine. They walked out the room. Hoseok slammed Jungkook against the wall, hands outstretched holding Jungkook in his place.

"Dude! Why didn't you cover me back there?" Hoseok, aggravated, shook Jungkook by his shoulders. Jungkook groaned, feeling a bit dizzy. Hoseok stopped, staring at him. "So!? Tell me why."

"I.. I was scared." Jungkook said, calm. He had to stay calm. Panicking in a situation like this would be pointless. Hoseok didn't understand, though. He looked a bit shocked, but quickly turned to anger. "Bro! Now everyone thinks it's me! Why didn't you speak up, huh?"

"..I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" Jungkook apologized, feeling guilty.

"Well.. great. It's your fault." That's all Hoseok said, leaving and going back inside. Jungkook stayed frozen against the wall. It made Jungkook feel guilty and confused.

His mind immediately came to conclusions. "Hoseok is guilt-tripping- no, manipulating you. Using his own feelings against you." It made Jungkook angry, but he didn't care overall. In fact, he was happy he didn't speak up. It made things more comfortable knowing that there's an answer. That Taehyung's death wasn't a total mystery. Even if it meant sacrificing others.

Jungkook reached his hand for the door knob, but paused. Even if he wasn't the main suspect, he'd be sure they'd suspect him too. Jungkook didn't know what to do. Going in would mean that everyone would be suspicious and wonder what went on outside [although.. Hoseok already went in, so it wouldn't be as embarrassing, right?]. Maybe it'd be better if he left...

Jungkook shook the thought away. It would be stupid. He opened the door, avoiding Hoseok's stare as he went and sat beside Jimin. "H-Hey, Jimin.."

Jimin didn't respond [obviously], still staring at Taehyung's body. He wasn't crying anymore, but he just stood still, looking at Taehyung. Eyes red and nose stuffy, he slowly looked at Jungkook. "..Wh-What?"

"Oh, uh.. I just wanted to make sure that you were okay.." Jungkook said.

"I.. I'm really heartbroken by this. I mean, he just... went along and died. I'm not sure how to feel with all this, you know..Thanks for asking, though." Jimin said, sitting down. "He looks so... empty. And sad. Like he didn't want to go through this.." Jimin said, his head hung low. And with that Jungkook headed out.

Namjoon looked behind Taehyung's body, and found something that made him sick to his stomach. He called over Yoongi, who bent over to pick it up.

"Chocolate wrappers?" Yoongi said. Namjoon nodded, inspecting the wrappers. Jungkook walked over to see what it was. "He must've died because of this. There were no extreme injuries, and this is the only explanation."

"But.. how? Did they force feed it to him?" Namjoon asked. Yoongi thought about it, then shook his head. "How would that be possible?"

"I.. don't know, but-"

"I smell chocolate in his mouth." Yoongi said, interrupting Namjoon. Jungkook went closer, sitting beside Yoongi.

"You smelled his mouth? Uh, kinda gross.." Jungkook said, disgusted.

"No! I just happen to smell it close by while inspecting these wrappers. I think he ate a lot, there are so many wrappers.." Yoongi quickly interrupted.

"But.. it doesn't make sense! He knows he's allergic to chocolate, and he wouldn't willingly eat it!" Jungkook said, thinking about it. If he really died because of that.. Why so much chocolate? One would've been enough to do it.

"I know, that's what's confusing. Someone must've forced him to eat it. The strange thing is that he can fight really well, so I'm not sure how he managed to succumb to the murderer." Yoongi said, his face scrunched in an unexplainable expression.

"Well, I don't know!" Jungkook sputtered, getting up and walking away. Yoongi just looked at Taehyung, not knowing what to do next. He sighed, getting up. He had to figure something out.

He looked at the hair scattered on the ground. He looked around at everyone. What he was trying to do was to find out who's hair it was, and why it was so.. scattered. He glanced at Hoseok, and even if he had bad eyesight it was plain obvious to see. He walked over to Hoseok, who just stared at the ground.

"Hey, Hoseok.." Yoongi mumbled, going down to meet Hoseok's eye level. "Can I ask you something?"

Hoseok looked at Yoongi. "Sure. Ask away."

"Your hair looks a bit... shorter." Yoongi said, noticing the slight difference. It was kinda obvious if you had good eyesight or you went super close. The part of the hair that was cut had strands still sticking out and little bits falling from time to time, and it kinda disgusted Yoongi to know that he doesn't clean his hair out after cutting it.

"Oh, I got a haircut.." Hoseok said, showing Yoongi. "See?" Hoseok smiled, playing with his hair. Yoongi didn't really give a fuck about Hoseok's hairstyle. In fact, he was now more interested of the hair on the ground than on his head. He looked at the hair on the ground once again. He paused. He was 80% sure it looked like the hair on Hoseok's head. Wavy, but also a bit curly. And they weren't little strands, either. They were bits.

It didn't make sense, though. Seriously, it didn't.

"Why would Hoseok's hair be here, and why so much? If Hoseok really committed the murder, it would be little strands, not whole ass clumps." Yoongi explained.

"Oh, well..." Namjoon thought about it. "I guess that makes sense..." Yoongi glared at Namjoon.

"You're not helping." Yoongi muttered, then paused. The position of the body, the wrappers, the hair... Yoongi realised, turning around to face Namjoon.

"This isn't a murder. It's a set up." Yoongi said. Namjoon just stared at Yoongi, with a poker face. It made Yoongi a bit nervous, since Namjoon was staring at him from above, and then all of a sudden Yoongi felt a bit smaller than he really was. Namjoon then spoke up. "Yeah, I know."

Yoongi was confused. "You know?" Namjoon nodded. "I set it up! I moved some stuff around when I found Taehyung's body."

"You tampered with the scene!?" Yoongi said, his outburst quite a bit too loud. Everyone [Which was only the other 3] turned their eyes to the scene unfolding beside them. "Why would you do that?"

"Listen up." Namjoon said, grabbing Yoongi's chin and holding it up, forcing Yoongi to stare at him. "It was getting boring around here.. So I decided to make things more fun, you know..."

"That's just-" Namjoon put a hand over Yoongi's mouth, muffling his sounds and effectively shutting him up. "Well, in the end... You found out who it was, right? You found out what happened, and that's that.."

"Mn- Wait!" Yoongi said, breaking free of Namjoon's hold. "What did you tamper with?"

"Oh, you know.. Putting the hair on the ground.. Hiding the chocolate wrappers.. Moving the body... That's all." Namjoon replied.

"Wait, were you trying to frame me?!" Hoseok interrupted. Namjoon's eyes glanced at Hoseok, then squinted at Hoseok.

"There always has to be an answer. Without answers, questions are left wondering. Without light, dark is left wandering. There can never be one without the other. There must be a balance." Namjoon said. "To answer your stupid question, yes."

The others were left astonished by his speech. Yoongi spoke up. "So.. what does it mean, now? How did Taehyung die, then?"

"There's only one answer.." Hoseok said, sighing. The others waited for an answer. "Well?"

...

"Suicide."

I tried to like, stop them, but they didn't so I left them and went upstairs, where I saw Jungkook. We talked for a bit and then I left, going to my room. I just went on my phone for the rest of the time and showered until Hoseok had to come in and tell me about Seokjin's death. Huh. How tragic."

Jungkook: "There's nothing much I did. All I really did was play games the whole day. I went out once just to get another slice of cake, and all of a sudden everyone's mad and arguing. What a great day to be alive, huh? Couldn't say the same for Seokjin, though.."

Hoseok: "Today I bought a cake, a nice one. It was chocolate, but I made sure Jungkook covered that part. There was barely any chocolate yet, but Taehyung and I argued about it because he was allergic, but a little wouldn't hurt. Jimin tried to stop us but he ended up leaving, and after he did and Taehyung left I just went on my phone. Then, Namjoon texted me saying I had to check on Seokjin, so I did. That's when I found the body."
