Taehyung's POV

"Guys ! Something bad has happened !" I heard Seokjin hyung shouting as he ran into the room where we were at . I adjusted my collar and played with the two flaps , smiling to myself .he must have saw it .

"What happened ?" Claire asked as she guided Seokjin hyung to sit down on a chair .

"Its Mackenzie! Shes ... dead!" He let out a loud scream that had managed to catch everyone's attention .

"What did you just say ?! How can this be ? How can sh— ?! How— what ?" Jungkook frowned and looked around confusedly . Seokjin hyung then pointed towards the director's granddaughter 's room which had been converted into a dressing room for us temporarily , just for today .

The few of us ran towards the room and following the other's reactions , i placed my hands on my mouth , pretending to be just as shocked as everyone else in the room .

"Someone , call the ambulance and the police !" Claire screamed as she checked for Mackenzie 's nonexistent pulse , shaking her head unbelievably. Listening to her , i whipped out my phone and phoned for the ambulance as instructed, notifying the paramedics our location . They will never suspect me .

"They are coming in 15 minutes , everyone is to evacuate from this room. " i voiced out and got everyone out of the room before slamming the door shut , waiting for the ambulance to arrive .

——
When help arrived , everyone watched helplessly as they prayed silently for the poor girl who was carried in a stretcher out of the house . I couldnt care less about them but instead , waited for the police to arrive to see how they would figure the cause of her death .

I peeped into the room and spotted one of the officers walking alongside the long desk . He inspected every single object on it and that was when i realised that i might have not done things cleanly .

Theres still that one photo of me on her phone . It was probably the last photo in her phone gallery — fuck .

As if the officer had read my mind , he picked up her phone and sealed it in a bag before tossing it to his partner who kept it in another locked bag filled with other objects that they figured are relevant.

My eyes travelled down to the small lock on the bag as my mind raced hard to think of ways to distract the officers .

"Come on , lets go ."

I felt someone pulling me and i hissed in annoyance when i realised that it was non other than Jeon Jungkook . " i dont know what to do hyung , we have just lost a friend . What are we going to do ? Now you dont have a partner and we cant continue this act anymore . Although she wasn't very close , but we've been through practices together for a few weeks now . I feel really bad for her . " He placed his head on my shoulder and mumbled .

"Dont be like a little girl . People die , whats so weird about that ? "

"Hyung , she was probably drugged or spiked , i mean , there wasnt blood anywhere . She was being silenced quietly here . Isnt it scary to think about it ? Shes in the director's granddaughter's house for pete's sake . Who could have killed her ? I mean , everyone here looks so harmless , they can barely hurt a fly ! " he continued while i pushed him away from me , not bothering to hear another word from him .

"Director ." Both of us greeted in unison as we approached him in the living room .

He sighed while taking a sip of plain water , looking at the both of us sadly . " i cant believe this is happening . "

"Of all days , on my granddaughter 's birthday? Her party is ruined !"

"Im so sorry about that , director . I mean , we can always reschedule and still have the party ... dont feel so affected by this , none of us knew that this was gonna happen .Anways , how is your granddaughter doing now ? Is she still shocked ?" Jungkook bit his lips nervously .

"When the news broke out , everyone went in full panic mode . She didn't overreact but her friends did . I believed that they have spread the words about this to their parents already . Everyone called her a jinx and said that this house was cursed ." He sighed once again .

"I'll get a call soon from the hospital . I'll update you boys later . Go talk to Claire , shes probably still shocked too ."
