There was a sound of the door swinging back and forth, creaking in a repeated pattern and breaking the silence of the night ~
As the cold wind entered from the opened door and the curtain danced along with it, the sound intensified, reaching Taehyung's consciousness ~
He stirred from the bed, adjusting his vision from the darkness as he roamed his still half closed eyes in the room ~
In his dazed state, Taehyung thought of seeing a shadow standing near the edge of his bed for a brief moment ~
Kim Taehyung ~
**Blink his eyes**
He slowly sitting up and wiped the sleep off his eyes as he looked back on the spot and saw nothing but his empty room ~
It could just be an illusion, an imagination created by his still half asleep consciousness ~
The sound coming from the opened door leading to the veranda continued to fill the room in tune with the howling of the morning breeze ~
He glimpsed at the clock on his bedside table, noting that it was still half an hour before 5 in the morning ~
Taehyung carefully went out of bed and headed toward the opened door. There's nothing. nothing but darkness outside ~
He closed and locked the door and soon the room was enveloped in silence once again ~
The light coming from the lampshade was enough to lead him back to bed. He rested his back on the headboard, eyes focusing on the now closed door. Taehyung stared at it for a long while before deciding to go back to sleep ~
As he closed his eyes, he let slip of the fact that he had locked the door earlier before he went to bed and that there's no other way for it to be opened if not from the inside of his own room ~

A couple of knocks from the door woke up Taehyung from his shallow sleep. He immediately stood and headed for the door, opening and revealing his brother's face with an unusual expression ~
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
Taetae....... **Grab him lightly by his hands**
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
Detectives are here.... **Worry tone**
Kim Taehyung ~
Are they looking for me?
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
**Nod his head and tried to smile a reassuring one**
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
Don't worry. Let's deal with this together ~
**Whisper caressing Taehyung's face**
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
Fix yourself and then follow me in the living room, okay? 😊
Kim Taehyung ~
**Nod**

Taehyung was sitting in the living room with his brother, facing the inspector and the detective he once encountered before ~
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
I would really want to say it's nice seeing you Taehyung despite the reason why we're here.
Kim Taehyung ~
Is this about Bogum's death? **Blankly**
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
That....... and a lot of things.
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
**Placed a recorder on top of the table before looking at the older Kim**
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
With your consent, we would like to record everything we're going to talk about from this moment on!
**Staring at Jin's eyes**
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
**Nod his head before looking at Taehyung**
Kim Taehyung ~
Okay ~
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
Thank you ~ 😊
**Turn on the recorder**
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
We have been investigating about the death of Park Bogum who happened to attend the same university as Taehyung, is that correct?
Kim Taehyung ~
Yes. We attend the same university.
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
It was found out that prior to his death, the two of you were last seen conversing in the supermarket, seemingly having a bit of argument........ Is that true?
Kim Taehyung ~
Yes. He approached me and we talked for a while.
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
Is it also true that he's been stalking you, even séxually harassing you?
**Looking straight into Taehyung's eyes**
Kim Taehyung ~
...............
Taehyung wasn't able to answer as he looked at his brother next to him who was quick to answer for his stead ~
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
I have heard from Jimin about Bogum and the things he did to TaeTae ~ **Sigh**
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
As you could tell inspector, my brother has a condition called Alexithymia.
He has trouble expressing himself and could not tell the emotions conveyed by others.
**Looking down on his clasped hands**
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
He wouldn't know if someone's already touching him with séxual intention.
However, if you'll ask Jimin, he could testify to the things Bogum did.
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
Okay...........
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
**Took the recorder and turned it off**
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
**Surprised**
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
Is that all?
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
**Shake his head**
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
**Fitch out his phone from his pocket and placed on the table**
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
From here on, the things I'll be asking would be for personal investigation, which means you are free to decline.
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
Is an officer allowed to do that?
Jin look at Yoongi as he Find his sudden change in behaviour a little suspicious. Before the inspector could answer, the detective next to him finally decided to meddle ~
Jung Ho-Seok ~ | Detective
It's actually my idea ~
Jung Ho-Seok ~ | Detective
This inspector here is just doing me a favor for the case I've been handling, right?
**Gave a pat on the Yoongi's shoulder**
Hoseok doesn't want Yoongi to be suspended if this personal investigation of his would be reported to the higher-ups ~
Jung Ho-Seok ~ | Detective
Just like what he said, you're free to decline.
**Lean and turn on the recorder in Yoongi's phone**
Jung Ho-Seok ~ | Detective
This is about the Case...............10 years ago!
As soon as Jin heard these words, his face immediately turned pale ~
Jung Ho-Seok ~ | Detective
I know this must be hard for the both of you to remember, but that case from before might lead us to solve the cases involving Taehyung now.
Hoseok tried to explain, but Jin doesn't even want to hear any of it ~
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
If it's all about that... I won't allow this interview anymore ~
**Immediately decline**
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
**Look away from the detectives and stared at Taehyung who just sat there in silence**
Kim Taehyung ~
............
Jung Ho-Seok ~ | Detective
**Sigh**
Jung Ho-Seok ~ | Detective
It's okay. We'll respect that ~ 🙂
**Took the phone on the table**
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
**Looking at him with sharp eyes thet are silently saying 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮℃𝐤 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠?**
Jung Ho-Seok ~ | Detective
**Stood from his seat and was about to head for the door when he spoke once more**
Jung Ho-Seok ~ | Detective
He's 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 ~ **Mutter**
Kim Seok-Jin ~ | Tae's Older Brother
**Gasp in horror at the implications of his words**
Jung Ho-Seok ~ | Detective
And By the looks of it, he's already sniffing around this household and could also be the one behind the deaths of the people involved with your brother. **Turn around**
Jung Ho-Seok ~ | Detective
If you still don't want to cooperate, then be my guest ~
**Heading toward door**
Min Yoongi ~ | Police Officer
**Hesitantly following behind**
However, it took them only a few steps when they heard Taehyung spoke ~
Kim Taehyung ~
Is this about the man from 10 years ago?
**Asked making the two turn to look**
