His Killer | KOOKV ✔

Ten

Location: ASAN Medical Center, Seoul, Korea
Time: 9:36 am

Taehyung woke up with tears in his eyes, his breathing ragged as he remembers everything again.

He has buried those memories and kept them locked away, but now, someone is trying to open it again so he'll fall back to the depths and darkness of depression and self-harm.

Worst, fall on his own death.

He roams his tear-filled eyes around the room, noticing the very familiar white walls and floors and the smell that can make anyone feel sick, but not him.

He's in a hospital, not as a doctor but a patient again. He can't remember what happened to him after the police officer showed him the item he never thought he'll be seeing again.

Taehyung covers his face with his hands as the tears continue to flow, the image of Annie lingering in his hazy mind.

His sobs became louder, stirring Jimin who's sleeping on the couch next to the hospital bed. He quickly runs over him with the usual concern look on his face as he stared at Taehyung's devastated state.

"Hey, babe." Jimin whispers, hands quickly wrapped around Taehyung who bursts into horrid cries and wails. His hands soothes the younger's back tenderly, consoling him and silently telling him that everything will be alright.

Taehyung cried nonstop. He feels so bad about himself and everything that's happening to him at the moment.

All he wants is to have a peaceful life but that seems to be too much to ask. Maybe he's meant to suffer the consequences of the past.

Jimin stayed by his side until he falls asleep. He's right there beside him always ready to wipe away his tears.

The day passed by in a whim. When Taehyung wakes up, he was greeted by the police officers, asking for a statement or anything that could possibly help solve the case.

Jimin was against the interview, insisting that the police should let Taehyung rest first, but the latter accepted nevertheless.

Taehyung was seated on his hospital bed, nervously fumbling his fingers as the police officers, the two from last time, occupy the empty chairs on his right side.

"Are you sure you can tell us now everything you know about the item?" Officer Kim Namjoon asked, voice gentle but formal.

Taehyung nodded his head although he's hesitant.

Namjoon sighed, tapping Officer Lee on the shoulder, motioning him to ready the pen and paper together with the recorder.

"We need to record this conversation as our evidence. Is it okay?" Namjoon inquired, holding the recorder on his right hand.

Taehyung nodded his head a little. How he wished Jimin is by his side right now to hold his hand for support.

The officers kindly requested Jimin to go out because the investigation is supposed to be private and confidential.

"Okay, Mr. Kim Taehyung, you may start narrating from what you can remember." Namjoon stated, eyes not leaving Taehyung.

With trembling lips, Taehyung began narrating the truth about the hair accessory. He told everything as he cries again, remembering the face of little Annie.

Jungkook stilled inside his car, eyes not leaving the entrance of the huge hospital upon seeing the police leave.

He sighed, finally relaxing on the driver's seat as he waits there patiently for the call of his partner.

He absentmindedly took out his phone, the one connected to his target's phone. He clicked on the tracker, wanting to know the exact room where his target is admitted.
