“Do you know anything that happened to Y/N in the past 7 years?” Jungkook asked, reaching for his hot coffee cup that they just had ordered, before you went to the toilet.

He took a sip, looking at Wendy, who tried to put stone face, acting as if she didn’t understand what Jungkook was saying.

“I don’t know what you--”

“How long have you been friend with her?”Jungkook asked, cutting her. He put down the cup and wrapped his arms over his chest, leaning backwards on the chair.

“6 years?” Wendy said, tilting her head to the side as if she was trying to remember. “6 years and half? It was around that range. When she wanted to release her first book.”

“So you know her very well?” Jungkook asked, and Wendy nodded.

“Yeah. More than you think.”

“Then you can help me, can’t you?” Jungkook observed the way, Wendy’s eyebrows raised and met together in a slight frown.

“What do you want from me?” Wendy said in an annoying tone.

“Well, if you care, you will help. Actually, you must help me for your friend’s safety.” Jungkook said, leaning forward on the table. He waved to Wendy to come closer so he could tell her something. Wendy gulped before leaning to Jungkook. Her heart almost stopped from the closeness between them.

“Y/N is keeping something” Jungkook whispered in Wendy’s ears, sending chills down her spines. “And I think you knew that thing, too. I don’t know why she’s so afraid to tell me. So I need you to tell me. What did Y/N use, in her recent book?”

Leaning again against the chair’s back. Jungkook smirked as he reached for the cup and sipped some, knowing that Wendy's heart was beating fast by now.

Wendy was frozen in her place, slightly opened. Letting out a faint laughter, she straightened her back and said, “She used her mind, in the wrong way possible.”

“What do you mean?” Jungkook raised an eyebrow, putting the cup down. Hands cupped it, letting its warmth hitting his palm.

“She wrote something without getting permission.” Wendy said, flickering her blond strands backward over her shoulder, crossing her legs and getting confidence in her voice. “Using some names of real people, without an agreement from their owner, and even wrote about their life…” --she smiled-- more like, smirked-- “she said it’s all her imagination, her story, her own pure ability in the interviews. She lied and said it was a pure coincidence.”

“She didn’t give credits?” Jungkook wondered and Wendy shook her head, smiling.

“You didn’t get my point, Y/N used to have a friend. She was also Yugyeom’s girlfriend. She used to live with Y/N before she moved into her new apartment. She found her dead in her room.”

Jungkook’s mouth dropped, not imagine how you would react, at a sight like this. Slowly he came to understand what Wendy meant. You used your friend’s murder in your own story, telling a story of someone who was already dead, without getting permission. “Huh…” That was the only word skipped his mouth. A list of suspects started to form in his mind. And that name that he didn’t believe should be on the list, topped it. Yugyeom!

His memory ran back to the note card and the letter in the book. ‘Why did you use this? It’s your fault’ ‘I learned a lot from it. It was a great change in my life.’ He never meant to show his love to you. It was just a way to hide his true intention. Revenge!

But why? It’s not like Y/N killed her, right?    

“That’s the worst thing Y/N had ever done in her whole life.” Said Wendy, snapping Jungkook from his analyzing mind. He needed to know more before putting assumptions.

“Tell me more…”

~~

“Found you!”

Your body tensed and your breathed stopped. Heart beating rapidly against your collarbone. There was a possible chance that if you turned it would be your unpleasant end. It’s my ending. I’m going to…

“Hey! Chill. It’s just me.” Yugyeom stepped in front of you, a big grin over his face and you almost wanted to kick him to the side and leave him alone.

“Who told you to do that?” You snapped, angrily at him. “You scared the of me.”

“Your mouth can’t do anything but swearing.” Yugyeom scoffed and murmured to himself. You raised an eyebrow and glared at him.

“Did you say anything?”

“No” Yugyeom smiled innocently, shaking his head. “I didn’t.”

Releasing the breath that you were holding and letting your shoulder relax, you looked at Yugyeom, sending him to an edge with your gaze.

“How come you are here?” You asked and Yugyeom smiled at you, wrapping an arm over your shoulder

“I asked Wendy about the address, since you seemed not to want to tell me.” Grinning, he pinched your cheeks. “I figured that you would want me around. I did well, didn’t I?”

You couldn’t tell if what he did was good or not. But you were thankful that he was here around you. He was the only one who could cheer you up and help in getting rid of your stress. He could also help to get rid of all the eyes on you, which stressed you so much.

One of the reasons that you didn’t want to tell him about your place was because of Jungkook. If Yugyeom knew that the inspector was him, it would turn out into a big fight. Ever since Jungkook left and Yugyeom couldn’t stand to hear his name.

You nodded, pinching Yugyeom’s cheeks back. “You did well.”

“Then let’s walk around?”

You smiled, putting an arm around his waist. You agreed with him. A little walk and play around was a good way to reveal stress. “Let’s walk around.”

Forgetting completely about Wendy and Jungkook, you had a small date with Yugyeom. You were used to have those dates around for fun, since he almost was like your own brother. There weren’t actually any romantic feelings between the two of you, at all.

You went and played some video games, having fun laughing and joking around, together. When you were with Yugyeom, you forgot completely about the world around you. He had such a power on you. As if the world was safe, there was nothing that you feared. Despite that feeling in your chest that told you, you should always be sorry, toward him.

Around the place you went to all candies shops that would be possible there. Cotton Candy, Apple candy and Ice cream. You ate them all with him.

Sitting in a coffee shop with him as your last step, you remembered that you used to be with another two person just an hour ago. You had disappeared for a whole hour? Your mouth dropped as you dug your face in your bag. Yugyeom noticed the uneasy look over your face as you rumbled through your bag.

“Did you forget anything?” He asked, and you nodded.

“I forgot that I was with Wendy and Jungko--” You stopped yourself before letting your tongue to say the whole name. You hoped that Yugyeom didn’t notice, but it was like hoping that this all was just a dream.

“Jungkook?” Yugyeom finished the name for you. And as you expected he sounded angry and there was a surprise mixed with it, too. “Jungkook is back?”

“He isn’t.” you said a matter of fact. Jungkook never was back. The only thing that made him around was because of this case. Yugyeom seemed not to believe you as he closed his eyes tightly, biting his lips, before opening them again.
