Deka Academy, where the most bizarre and influential detectives are. There you can find people who have a terrible past. It is known by the government. And the government can only ask assistance to a crime that police can't solve.
This academy is the home of the most greatest and powerful detectives. Because of their braveness, and being mentally strong, they made this academy to help the government. With luxurious and beautiful buildings to the most efficient and reliable students.
To be able to even move forward is already a big step.
For them, being weak and reckless are not in their dictionary.
It shows you're not strong enough to help those people who need justice.
Just being in the academy is already a great honor. Having more power than the police.
If you're a student there, you can enter crime scenes without any problem and also get any information in your hands in just a minute.
But did you think being inside is easy?
To enter, you must answer one question.
"Can you solve your own identity?"
Kim Taehyung, a nobody, caught the attention of someone he doesn't even know and now he is in a place he didn't think he could even reach. He took the invitation as some sort of a joke, how could anyone be interested in someone like him anyway? But look at him now, in a new place, provided with everything he needs. But ofcourse problems like him too much anyway. Now he must get out of this place before other people know his status in life!
'I'd rather live in the streets than getting entangled with this mess!' - Kim Taehyung
Jeon Jungkook, ranked 001 in DEKA Academy meets someone he took great interests with. Someone that can't even smile and relax infront of him. Moreover, this guy doesn't even care whether he is high in rank or not! The guts this newbie has made his eyes that always felt like a void, sparkle in anticipation. He can't even stop himself from smirking infront of the newbie who liked causing trouble for him.
'What secrets do you hide from the world that I can't even grasp, little devil?' - Jeon Jungkook
With everyone on deck, can they finally solve the mysteries each of them cannot understand for years?

"Billboard #1 singer, are you sleepy?"
Taehyung to Jungkook
Being a student, Kim Taehyung needs to work his *** off.
He goes to online class while connecting to his neighbor wifi, dumps the neighborhood's trashes for money, waiter at a restaurant and clean cars for extra money.
All these money? To his jar.
He made a big jar not long ago for his school purposes. Having the money being exposed right in front of your eyes is not good for him or else he'll end up buying something.
He gets to eat when he's neighbor's gives him food or he doesn't eat at all. It's nothing new for him.
He already mastered of living with this kind of lifestyle. He also mastered being calm and collected.
"Taehyung, you can go home now." The manager said. His eyes not leaving the paper in his hands.
"Yes. Thank you." The only thing he said. He can clean cars now, with an extra time he got, he'll probably clean up to 50 cars.
"Wait, Taehyung." He looked over the side. Seeing Mark there. "Here's the money. Thank you for helping me on my homework."
He nodded and took the money. "I'm going now."
Without even letting the other talk, he walks outside.
It was 3 in the afternoon, and he still have 4 hours to clean cars. He was suppose to be going out at 4 or sometimes 5, but today was a lucky day he guessed.
"Who am I kidding? When did I have a lucky day?" He chuckled dryly. "You aren't an idiot, Taehyung. Stop thinking you're lucky."
He took his only bag. The zipper was giving up, holes at the bottom and ripped front.
"I need to buy things." He mumbled. The clothes he's wearing is the only one and the the other clothes in the bag is what he uses for online class.
He's teachers would ask, "Why do you wear the same shirt everytime?" And he would just reply that he loves this clothes
Love? He definitely does since he doesn't have any clothes.
Maybe he'll trying asking those guys on the gas station where he clean cars, to look for small clothes.
"Oh wow. Taehyung, you're quite early" One of his co-workers said.
"Got off from my shift quite early." He set his bag in his usual spot. A small area, with water, soap and a chair is.
"Are you going to collect water from the bathroom now? Need any help?" The cashier of the gas station asked him.
"No need, ma'am. I can handle this." He took the two buckets in his hands. He have three drums to full with.
"Nonsense, boys go help him. Use those three other buckets on each bathroom. So you can fill up the drums fast."
The woman went inside her stall and the other boys helped him.
"Where's the hose?" One of them said.
"I'll go find it." The other one said, letting the water fall to the drum. When he finished, he went to the back where their things are.
"Finished." A satisfied smiled broke to one of the gas boys. "That's a bit fast."
"What can I say, I'm excited for my date tomorrow." The other one chuckled, stretching his arms.
"Wow, someone really wants to date you?" Taehyung teased him. Hiding his smirk in his mask.
"You-" The man puffed. "I've been courting her for ye-"
"TAEHYUNG!!!" One of the gas boys shouted from the back. It was running towards them.
"Anything wrong?" He asked.
"The dog bit your hose. Look at this!" He showed him the hose. Big and small open are seen.
"****..." He mumbled. So he'll clean the cars with a bucket?
"Who bit that?" The cashier went out of her stall.
"It was the dog. I'm sorry Taehyung." JB one of the boys said.
"I guess, I have to buy a new one..." He said. Trying to smile. "I'll use a bucket for now."
"No." They all looked at the cashier, who went back to the stall to get something. "Here's a new hose. It was meant to be for your pay day, but I guess you can have it now."
"Thank you." He took the hose. Smiling at the women, even though his smile is hidden in the mask.
His time went well. He actually cleaned more than a hundred. The road seem busy so a lot of people keeps going to the gas station.
"Is there a festival?" He asked himself. Then he remembered.
"Oh. I remember. Deka Academy is asking for new students." He shrugged. "I still don't know why there was almost a thousand of people wanting to try but only six made it."
He remembers clearly how everyone going outside was crying. Then he heard that only 6 people got in.
"It's just a school, why are they rushing?" He asked again when he saw people running inside.
Then a car suddenly stopped by his side. He looked at the car confused, but proceeds walking.
"Wait!" He snapped his head to the door of the car. There was this woman sticking her head out to the window.
"Anything you need, ma'am?" He asked politely.
"Would you like a ride?" She asked him.
"Oh shit." He mumbled. "No thank you. My house is not that far." He was about to walk when the woman talked again.
"I'm not going to harm you or anything. I just want ask you something." The woman said. "And I'm too old for doing such things to you."
He pressed his lips to a thin line. He can't just trust people so easily.
"Sorry but it's oka-" The woman cut him off.
"It's about Deka Academy." He looks at her confused. "Please ride with us."
Without thinking he went inside the car.
"Sorry. It must be weird that I suddenly talked to you want wished you to go in the car." The woman apologized.
"I'm Song Hyekyo, one of the council of Deka Academy." She introduced herself. Smiling a little at the young boy.
"Oh."
"I would like to ask if you could enroll at Deka?" Hyekyo said straight to the point.
"One of the council, Lee Min Ho, found you interesting. We also looked for your information and found none." He looked at her in the eyes. "Are you asking me how did I do it?"
"Partly yes, but if you don't want to say it's it's okay." He nodded his head.
"So, I hope you could join. The Academy is open till 8. You can talk to the guard and show them this." He hands him a card. "They'll lead you to us."
He stepped out of the car, watching it going away.
He looked at the card in his hands.
The card has had black background with golden glitters and the words are in color gold too.
'Special Passage for the Person who has this.
This serve as the card for him/her to enter and go out of the school.'
On the back, the signitures of the five council were found.
"Song Hyekyo, Song Joongki, Lee Min Ho, Park Hyunsik, Park Seo Joon." He read out the names out load while going inside his house.
His house only has one floor. There are no kitchen nor sofa. Three chairs on the side, three boxes on other side, and a table in front of the chairs.
He would like a tv, but he prefer not to. He won't even watch since he's out most of the time.
He cleaned himself. He can't use his other clothes since it's for tomorrow. He only has five underwear.
"****, I have to clean." He looked over his place. He took the broom and started cleaning.
"What time is it?" He looked at his phone after cleaning. "7:35"
'The Academy is open till 8'
Be remembered the woman. Should he go? Or stay here, and think about how to save money for his upcoming online classes?
He let out a shaky breath. He can't choose. The offer of the woman is tempting.
"I don't know." He let his hands roam in his hair.
'Should I go?'
.
.
"I don't think he's coming any sooner." Min Ho said to her. Hyekyo was pacing back and fourth
"But he has a potential. To solve the case." She said, finally sitting down on a sofa.
"That case has been open for how many years? Four years?" Hyunsik said. "There is no way we could even solve that case."
But Hyekyo won't budge. She thinks that boy could be a big help.
"We can't even see his face." Hyunsik talked, sitting straight. "His records, it's like he didn't even exist here."
"I'm so bothered by the fact that we can't see any record of him." Joongki spoke with a monotone.
"It's not that we haven't seen this before, there are two cases already." Seo Joon said. Shrugging off.
"You mean that Jungkook guy?" Hyunsik asked him. "He's one of the best students, together with his group mates."
"If Taehyung joins, I'll put him in the same team with that Jungkook." Min Ho said.
"They have a good combination. I wonder if they make a song together?" Joongki said.
"They aren't musicians. What the hell are you saying?" Hyunsik raised an eyebrow to him.
"I heard Jungkook talk before. Having a nice voice is such a blessing. And Taehyung, his co workers said he has a deep voice. It would be so beautiful." Joongki smiled.
"Don't even think of them making a song." Min Ho smirked.
"I was just wondering, okay?" Joongki said. Hyekyo is still looking at the the big glass where they can see the entrance.
"He's not coming." Hyunsik said. Telling it to her already.
"Wait." Hyekyo stood up. Frozen.
"What? Anything wrong?" Joongki asked.
"Look, it's him!!" They all looked at the glass. There was a guard with Taehyung. Walking pass the gates.
"Wow he made it on time." Seo Joon looked at his watch. "It's 7:53."
"We'll put him in the same team as Jeon Jungkook."
"The closer you are, the shorter the letters"
Jungkook to Taehyung
"Taehyung." Hyekyo stood up as soon at Taehyung entered the room. Taehyung stood there awkwardly.
"Hello, ma'am and sir." He bowed down to the founders. Feeling their authority all over the room.
"Sit down." Seo Joon said. Pointing at the sofa. He obliged and sat down quietly.
"Have you decided to join us here?" Joongki asked him. "I'm Song Joongki."
"About that sir-" He was cut of by Seo Joon.
"I bet! He loves it here already." Hyunsik said proudly.
'More like hate it here. Too expensive.' Taehyung thought.
"Sir, I will not join here." The council stopped talking.
"Why not?" Hyekyo asked. Confusion can be seen in her face.
"I still have my online classes and works to do-"
"We'll provide you with money. Like a scholarship. All your expenses is on us." Joongki cut him off again.
"We will also tell your school to get you out of there and register you here." Hyungsik bargained with him.
"As much as that sounds so tempting, I will still not join. I'm okay with my lifestyle now." Taehyung said. Confident.
"Lifestyle? Where you only have one clothes? A small house? Eats when your neighbor gives you food? Works all day?" Min Ho scoffed. "It doesn't even sound a life to me."
"Well sorry to burst out your bubble sir, this is the only thing I could do. Unlike you who is very much rich and buy things pretty easily." He snapped back. He let out a sigh. "Sorry for the outburst."
"It's not the real reason, isn't it?" Taehyung froze on his seat. He looked at Hyekyo.
"I can feel it. You're hiding something."
"I don't know what you are talking about. Why would I hide something." He scoffed.
"All you want is me to join right? Then okay. I'll join."
"Thank you." Hyekyo stood up and hugged him. "Thank you so much."
He pushed her a little,
"Where do I sign up."
"Here." Joongki gave him a paper. He signed it without hesitation.
"Don't I have to pass on a test or something?" Feeling strange, he asked them.
"Can you solve your identity?"
"Well I know my i-identity so yes." He stuttered.
One thing is for sure. He's not good a lying.
The founders didn't notice the stuttering.
"Okay. So, we'll going to give you everything you need. If you want, we can show you your dorm this instant." Hyunsik suggested.
"No need for it, I'll go home for now and ready my things." Taehyung said. Bowing a little then went out of the room.
He stared walking to the gate. But first, he looked at the luxurious buildings.
"Am I ready to solve myself?"
.
.
The night became fast and the next thing he knew is he's already at the front gate.
Some guards delivered clothes for him and he can't say no. They keep bugging him.
"Good morning, how can we help you?" Another guard was there.
"Good morning sir, sorry for the disturbance." He took a deep breath. "I was registered here by the council."
"Kim Taehyung?" The guard asked. Like he knows him.
"Yes."
"I see. I'll tour you around first, then we'll go check your team, is that okay sir?" The guard's eyes looked at him.
"Yes. And please call me, Taehyung." He mumbled. The guard nodded.
They walk across the hallway.
"This is the Computer Lab." He looked inside. Every person there was wearing glasses.
"This is where you can get information fast. Our computers have access on any database. Either the government or other countries database." The guard informed, opening the door.
Taehyung panicked. "Sir why are you opening the door-"
"This always happens when a new student is here."
Everyone snapped their eyes to him and stood up.
"Hello, welcome to DEKA Academy."
He felt uncomfortable with their gaze. "Thank you."
Everyone sat down again and looked at their own computer.
"Can we go now?" He mumbled to the guard. "You still need to know who's in charge here."
He looked at the approaching man.
"Good morning, sir." The guard bowed to the man.
"Nice to see you again, Kim Taehyung. I'm Lee Min Ho. The one in charge in the Computer Lab." Min Ho smiled at him. "Sorry for what I said yesterday."
"It's fine." Taehyung said.
"You can go here anytime you want." Min Ho said and went inside.
"Let's continue the tour."
The two of them walked again. The computer lab was massive, each computers has their own owner. And strangely, they all have glasses.
"This is the Training room."
If the computer room is already big, this one is much more bigger. It was just an ordinary room with painted white.
"This is where we train for safety purposes. This is made so everyone here in the academy can defend themselves against criminals."
They entered another room. "This one is Team Room." The guard opened the door and a woman with glasses looked at them.
He can say the woman is gorgeous.
"Hi. I'm IU." IU smiled at him.
"Let's take your Identification Card." She pointed at a white curtain.
I obliged and looked at the camera.
"Can you take off your mask please?" IU said hesitantly.
"I would rather take a photo with my mask. Thank you." He said back.
IU smiled awkwardly and took a photo of him. "I'll just develop it with your code. Let's check your team."
"Kim Taehyung..." She looks at record book.
"Oh. You're at Team Bangtan. Oh. Wait. BANGTAN?" Both the guard and IU said at the last word and at the same time.
"Why?" He asked them.
"Team Bangtan. They were registered last year. They've been the best team and students these year. They're at section Overall." IU said. The guard bid goodbye as this was private matters.
"Overall? Is there any other sections?" He asked again. Sitting at the small sofa.
"There are three section: Mild, Killers and Overall. Mild section, it's where they focus only on mild cases like robbery. They rank third at all students. Killers section, they focus in murder cases. Second of all students. And Overall section, all cases. Only Team Bangtan is at that section. Being the first student at all students."
"Can I just be like, at mild section?" I woul like to try all sections before Overall first." He said. IU looked at him. "Sure. I'll try what I can do."
"I would like to know my dorm.."
"I'll show it to you."
.
.
"A new member?" Kim Namjoon asked to himself, the leader of Team Bangtan.
"Really? That would be nice." Park Jimin, the information member.
"You should ask the name, Jimin and I will go find information about him." Jung Hoseok said. Also an information member.
"IU didn't say anything yet." Namjoon answered him, shaking his head.
"But aren't we a lot now? Having one more member will just bring chaos here." Min Yoongi mumbled. Settling himself in the sofa. He's one of the defense member.
"No. I think it would be good." Kim Seokjin, case informer member.
"Where's Jungkook?" Hoseok asked.
"Sleeping. In his room." Seokjin replied.
"Yoongi you shouldn't influence him with your habits." Jimin whined at his teammate.
"Influence? Is it my fault he sees me as his role model." Yoongi defended himself.
"Excuse you, Min Yoongi. I'm his role model. You know that." Namjoon hissed at him.
Yoongi didn't reply and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard.
"Jungkook." Jimin said. The man was walking down the stares half awake.
Jeon Jungkook, attack member.
"What?" He asked and plopped down to the chair.
"IU said there's another member." He opened one of his eyes. "So? They can join."
"Oh wait." Everyone looked at Namjoon.
"The new member requested to change team and to section Mild." He said.
"What? He doesn't like being the best one?" Jin said, annoyed at what he said.
"No. He said he wanted to try all sections first." Namjoon replied.
Knocks were heard. Everyone snapped their eyes at the door.
Seokjin opened the door. "Council Hyekyo."
Everyone stood up and bowed at her.
"Is he here yet?" She asked
"The new member? No. He asked if he could change team and be at Mild section." Namjoon replied politely.
"Oh. I knew this would happen." She mumbled. She called someone on her phone
"IU, please get him here. He is not allowed to have other team other than them." She then turned off her phone.
"Why can't you let him be?" Hoseok asked her.
"For someone to be mysterious and doesn't have his background at any database, I doubt he's not qualified for higher." She replied.
"Just like Jungkook?" Jimin questons her. She looked at Jungkook before nodding. "Yes. Just like him."
Another knock was heard. And a man with mask came to view with IU.
"Team Bangtan, here's your new member."
