「 Jesse 」

"I know who you are, Kim Seokjin."

It felt like a staring competition. Neither one of us would avert their eyes from each other. I knew I was right though, every single clue I had found would always lead up to him.

His next move, however, it's a bit unexpected. He lowly starts to laugh as if someone has just said a dark joke and he's cackling out of sympathy when he shouldn't. I could sense the nervousness in it.

"So you know my full name. That's easy to guess; there are a lot of Kim Seokjin's in Korea." He crosses his arms rather defiantly.

"You know who I'm talking about. Kim Seokjin as Namjoon, Taehyung, and Hayeon's friend. The twenty-two year-old guy who loves the color pink and food. The one who would take good care of his best friends since he felt that responsibility of being the oldest."

Bam, that's how you make a ghost get into a state of shock.

"H-How did you figure out it was me?" He stutters in disbelief.

"My suspicions lightened up when Taehyung had that nightmare at the police station. He mentioned your name though I wasn't sure it would be you. Once you told me about your friend staying in the hospital I figured you were speaking about Hoseok and then you mentioned about Taehyung and Namjoon getting arrested which Hayeon only told that to Hoseok and Jimin when we paid a visit."

He stares at me for a while, processing what I just told him. Then he decides to speak up. "I sort of gave it away, didn't I?"

"Well, if you think about it, you sort of did. I just didn't caught it up fast enough." I smile, victorious of my new discovery.

"You're pretty good at this." He sits next to me on the first step. "We've only met a few days ago and you already know part of my life."

I lightly puff, feeling the pride for a small moment until I bring a more serious conflict about this case. "You know that if you really want me to help you, I'm going to need to know more about you."

"I would tell you about some things, but don't expect me to be much detailed because I barely remember anything." He throws the warning straight-up.

"Do you think it's because you got some sort of trauma after the accident?"

He presses his lips tight. "Not sure. This is the first time I become a ghost..."

"Touché." I nod, making him chuckle.

"You should go to sleep. You can ask me anything If I can remember later."

---

I only managed to sleep about six hours overall, which it isn't bad but it's not as good either. My body feels exhausted and it seriously took me a good half hour to get off the mattress.

Hannah and her parents had to go to work once again, so I was alone at their house. I haven't seen Namjoon and Taehyung, so I figure that they probably headed out who knows where.

I found a lonely note on the table of the dining room, and it caught my attention when I saw it was addressed to me.

Jesse dear,

Like always, feel at home.

But please maintain everything clean.
