"Hyung, you—" Jungkook silently observe older who is vigorously scrubbing the already cleaned tiles with his entire concentration on the television, posture stiff and mind lost in forecast ranging from prediction of a raging storm to a man marrying a cardboard cut-out of his idol

"yes?" Jimin lowly whispers shifting his gaze over a frightened Jungkook, eyes wide gawking over the ghastly butcher of pathogens drowning with rugged splosh of the mop, soon enough his mind catch up with older who is possibly imagining it as someone's head

"you...uh—You look lovely today, What's the occasion?" He nervously scratch his nape with a smile not reaching his eyes. Gosh, Jimin looks scary

Jimin stares at him for good second eventually sighing and relaxing his smothering hold over the mop, seeming a bit more approachable without a potential weapon

"Three people went missing, you heard?"

Jungkook nods. He loosely remember another article printed black and white about young and unfortunate

"I feel those visitors"— he pause and Jungkook didn't miss the anger flare in older eyes, teeth gritting forcefully—" they are being awfully shady"

He didn't deny this accusation, not like he have anything better to say but he didn't deny it and that's enough encouragement for Jimin to continue.

"I-I don't know. I absolutely don't know how to explain this, no solid evidence but.. " a bothered grumble erupts from back of his throat, roughly shoving his hand through his neat aqua blue hair, exhaling loudly and with a low voice he mutters "...and I think they know I'm suspecting them"

Jungkook feels jittery, where is this going?

"Yesterday" Jimin whispers, jaw clenched "I was showing them our site for pearl extraction and one of them, that women with emerald eyes kept staring at me like a creep. I can literally still feel that stress on my skin" he visibly shudders whilst Jungkook feel goosebumps rising on his own, he remembers that feeling all too well

"When we left the site with our knees soaking wet, we offered them towels and I was rushing to get over this until that emerald one out of the blue grabbed my arm and tossed me back—right into the water!" Jimin grits his teeth, closing his eyes "She offered me her hand and reluctantly I accepted, didn't want to make any more scene but hear me out carefully "

He can't be any more attentive than this but still leap into obligation

"Sicking sweetly she whispered 'three more' and pulled away with a smile she probably couldn't bother hide, leaving me stand alone like a fool soaked from collar to sock"

Jungkook's breathe left him with a crease forming on his forehead

"Nobody, really nobody is ready to suspect them for all the prosperity they breathe.
For heaven's sake, shouldn't we at least know their names, ID? Fucking Anything! "

Jungkook reach forward, messaging his scapulae who is fuming like a bull "I can still feel her slim fingers in my hand and when I say I should have broke them" he nods though he can't help but secretly stares at Jimin's cute fist of fury

Ebony eyes after few blink gradually loose its anger to distress

"My parents and mayor, I reached them after knowing about more missing people but you know what they did" Jimin laughs unamused and he frowns for knowing what must have happened

They didn't believe him

"They didn't believe me" he sighs shaking his head, shoulder sagging

Jungkook hates to see that look on Jimin's face, look of disappointment that he still hoped that maybe...maybe just this once, they would believe him...only to be proved wrong-again and beating himself over for even expecting
