" A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead. "

-Graham Greene


Everything and everyone told her that everything would be okay, but she was troubled. As a violent storm made surface in her brain, she clenched her fist and bit her lips as it was quite honestly, painful.

It was completely different from her usual headache. While it felt the same as intense anguish, as a sort of silent agony that was tiring her mentally, it was violent.

Even if she seemed serene, her anxious orbs were saying far more than she had made it appear. Her limbs were dying to move, to serve as a distraction for her anxiety. Whereas her inner thoughts whispered to her words of destruction and ruin, which made it harder for her to breathe.

She rationalized and viewed her puzzle from different viewpoints, guessing the outcome, with the cards she had already played as if she was amid a gamble. A delicate one.

That was plausibly the downside of knowing wicked things instead of living in blissful ignorance. An ignorance that was offered to her, but refused.

Yet, was there anything else to do other than walk ahead and figure things out to face her fears?

All of a sudden, she felt her frail fingers tangling with Jimin's. Her eyes moved from his thumb rubbing the back of her hand to his lips forming a smiling. It was probably a gesture meant to comfort her, but his dark eyes gave away his real feelings. He was as torn as she was.

" What do you think is going to happen now? "

With the same smile, he replied, " They will probably arrest him. "

" Can they? " She turned to face the ground. " After discovering the kind of connections your uncle has and how he managed to get away with my mother's murder, it makes it harder for me to think he would get arrested that easily. "

The man hummed, " Don't worry, I asked Yoongi to find him. He actually already did. I updated the detective earlier about my uncle's location and Kang Sejun's. If there are any changes, Yoongi would tell me. "

" Speaking about Yoongi. How come he is helping us so much? I get you two are good friends, but what is he gaining from all of it? "

Jimin cleared his throat and anxiously looked around them. " You might have already noticed that he is no ordinary man, right? " The woman nodded, " He is also working in the underworld. Kang Sejun and himself are sorts of rivals. He wants the place of a King, which Kang Sejun is currently occupying, so helping us is beneficial to him. "

Putting the puzzle together, Nana quickly understood the connection between the pair. Both must have joined forces together to get rid of Park Jinyoung and Kang Sejun.

" It makes more sense now. But isn't that a bit dangerous for him to help us now that the police are involved? "

Jimin smirked, " That's why I'm here- "

A sudden ring echoed in the messy police station. Jimin looked toward the sound of his phone ringing and took it out of his pocket.

" Speak of the devil. " He muttered before he answered the phone.

" It was a false report. "

Nana recognized the familiar voice.

On the other side, Jimin was confused by the sudden phone call and asked what occurred for Yoongi to be this agitated. With a heavy tone, the man explained that Kang Sejun had already sent Park Jinyoung away, and he was already destroying evidence of his affiliation with the man in question.
