Turquoise Summer ✓

Chapter 15

*Double update*

"So let me get this straight, these are actual murders and crime scenes." Taehyung had come over to Luna's and Jimin's place in the tackiest of his outfits which he argued to be for anonymity purposes. After a lecture by Jimin on how it was stupid for him to visit the two of you amidst a fully blown scandal, the discussion somehow redirected towards the poll that was happening as to who was the better option to date. Luna interfered between the men who were now spewing nonsense to get at each other. Since when was the ability to scale high buildings a dating quality or be able to go on with sleep for a week? Soon, the party settled down to discuss what was going on. Taehyung said he wouldn't give them the rest of the script unless they came clean about whatever was going on. Which was how Luna sat down to explain what they had found so far with occasional interruptions from Jimin's side. All blood drained from Taehyung's face at the possibility of the killer lurking around.

"Are you not afraid that killer might come for you next?" Jimin asked confusing Luna.

"What? And why would I be? The killer looks for small-time actors according to whatever we have not A-listers like me. I'm safe." Taehyung said with a smug smile.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night A-lister."

"Guys, settle down, please. We got things to solve, now give us the next two parts so that we can find out what happens next." Luna pleaded.

"Actually nothing much happens." Taehyung passes the script books to Jimin and Luna before continuing, "There are more murders, one murder per episode so 12. Damn, that sounds so crass now that all this is real. Shit! Okay, where was I? Ah right, and the leads get together to investigate them and but they end at a dead end. The director did say there was going to be another season and the person was working on it."

"So who gets the heroine? I mean the detective chick." Jimin asked and Luna elbowed him.

"What? I'm just curious. There are two leads." Jimin tried to justify his curiosity. 

"Well, it is still under discussion. But the fans will want her to end up with me." Taehyung said with a smirk.

"Oh, I was rooting for Lee Gon, but hey cool," Jimin said earning a kick to his shin.

"Oww! Okay okay, about the scriptwriter. Who is this person? Do you know him?" Jimin asked while Luna skimmed through the pages of the script book.

"Yeah, I do know him. He is a newbie. Actually a cool kid. And this is his first script."

"His first script?" Luna asked. The cogs in their brains turn to pin down their killer.

"Yeah, he has worked as an assistant for a while but this is his first solo work. Wait lemme get him on call." Taehyung dials and puts the phone on speaker for Luna and Jimin to listen in. The call was about to drop and everyone in the room was losing their patience when the call was finally picked up.

"Heyloooooooo" Loud music could be heard and one could assume it was a party or a club.

"Um, hello? Are you at a party?"

"Oh I'm. How did you know? Magic? I'm shit drunk right now. I don't even know whose phone this is." The man chuckled.

"Am I talking to Jungkook?" Taehyung asked confused.

"Ah yes, that is me! How did you know again? Are you a magician or something?"

"Then it is your phone alright. Man call me when you so-"

"No, ask him now. We need to know about the script. For all, we know he is pretending to be drunk to strike his next victim." Jimin interrupted Taehyung.

"What script?"

"Ah nothi-" Taehyung was interrupted by Jimin who was now leading the conversation. "Hey man, we wanted to know your inspiration for Turquoise Summer. Damn good script it is."

"Oooh. Can I tell you a secret?" Jungkook spoke after a moment of silence.

"Yes, I'm the person made for secrets." Jimin said with a smug smile.

"I never wrote that one. Would you believe me if I told someone left it at my place?"

"Who left it there?" Luna asked the curiosity getting the best of her. She soon covered her mouth with her palm at the glares from the two men in the room.

"Hey, why are you sounding like a girl now? Who am I even talking with? Is that you Lia?"

"Who is Lia? And who left the script at your place?"

"Oh, Lia is my psycho ex. She dated me coz she wanted to meet that stupid actor Taehyung. Damn, she was a nightmare. When I met her at that cafe-"

"Sorry loverboy, I promise we will listen to your story later but now can you tell us who left the script at your place?"

"Oh there was a name on the envelope, but that's all. Someone named 'Lucy' or was it 'Luke' or 'Lance'?"

"Hey buddy, is there something else you remember about the envelope?"

"Hmmm...Ah! There was this weird wax seal with the impression of devil horns."

"Perfect, thanks, buddy!" Saying that Jimin ended the call.

"Some crazy fans you got there, man." Jimin chuckled looking at Taehyung. 

"Hey not all of them are like that. Some of them just happen to be crazy."

"What do we do now? How do we find this person?" Luna asked.

"Oh don't worry about it. There's only one person who is obsessed with the devil horn wax seal and goes by the name of 'Lucy' or in other words freaking 'Lucifer' and I happen to know him pretty well." Jimin answered confidently. 

"You know weird people like that and you call my fans crazy?" Taehyung quipped.

"You both know crazy weird people. We will debate about that later. What are the chances that this man is our killer?" Luna broke the staring game that was going on between the two men in the room.

"He is a peculiar character. I don't know if he is actually capable of murder though." Jimin said after a moment's silence.

"Looks like we got to take a trip to hell after all," Taehyung said with a sigh.
