TAEHYUNG 

"So, what you guys think?" looking up from my computer I took turn in glancing at all the shocked faces lining up behind me, four pairs of appalled eyes staring at the screen as the truth regarding Myung-Dae's death just unfurled on it. Jungkook and I had returned home from the station a while ago and the first thing I did once I was inside the premise was to turn on my laptop and letting it all out.


"It was Sang-Ook all along? But he was such a nice man!" the scepticism was colossal in Jin's voice as his gaze remained sharply anchored on the certain footage. Clearly he was having a hard time taking it all in. "How could he?"


"Is this even authentic?" I heard Jimin utter through the thick layer of anxiety and his words made me turn my gaze swiftly at him.

"Are you doubting my hacking skills?" I roared with fake annoyance lacing my voice as the opportunity of briefly breaking the 72+ hours long unease just crossed my mind. 

"NO, no" he raised his hands in defense before letting out a sheepish smile thereby making the others break out in laughter. And honestly, it felt good to see them relax even for a bit. The stress of not having Y/N around was still opaque in our cognition but such little distractions were highly needed as well for us to get our shits together and not freak our selves out. The last thing Y/N needed right now was for us to mess up our composure and propel her towards more danger.

"See, Jimin doesn't want to enrage his soulmate" Hoseok smirked making the aforementioned scowl at him.

"I'm not a push over hyung. I'm just being the bigger person here and letting the younger have his way. After all, I'm his elder hyung-"

"Elder, sure.....but definitely not bigger" Jungkook's comment rendered Jimin right back on his sullen face and he balled his eyes at all of us.

"This is not fair, you are ganging up on me" he whined and an other round of laughter rang through the space. For the first time in days had we felt a ray of hope penetrate the dark fog. And why wouldn't we? After all, we had no idea that the worst tragedy of all was lurking right around the corner, waiting to befall.


"But Taehyung, why all of sudden did you scavenge for this year old footage of the hospital?" Jin asked making a prominent smirk spread across my face. Oh how long had I been waiting for someone to come up with this question and give me the perfect opportunity to showoff my critical thinking and motives.

"Umm hyung, do you remember the conference we had where we discussed about the Buzzards?" I asked, warming up for the explanation ahead.

"Yeah.....the one after the warehouse attack, right?"

"Yes. During that time, Y/N had this conjecture about the Buzzards being somehow involved in Myung-Dae's death. And since we are pinning them as our prime suspect in Y/N's disappearance as well, I thought surveying the past might bring in significant clues regarding the present situation" I shrugged before earning the exact reaction I fancied.

"That's actually......genius" Hoseok exclaimed making it harder for me to refrain my proliferating beam.

"Thanks" I responded, a little shy.


However, with the passing seconds the laughter dimmed down and the ambience got heavier. Once again, with eyebrows scrunched and foreheads wrinkled, we returned to rummaging our brains for possible answers.
