Chapter Eleven
"What we know is a drop. What we don't is an ocean"
- Anonymous
"When I told you come here, I didn't expect the whole squad" Hoseok joked around but nobody laughed, so he kept his mouth shut.
He occupied a table of cozy café, welcoming his guest. They took respectable seats and scan the surrounding for anything odd before continuing starting their awaited conversation.
"Hello Hoseok, let me introduce you to this guys. This is Yoongi my boyfriend, Park Jimin my best-friend and this is our neighbour- "
"Jeon Jungkook?"
"Yeah? But how did you know?" Jungkook was perplexed and he had never saw this guy before.
"I have read about you in file"
Hoseok didn't give much.
They take a moment to gather their thoughts before Hoseok started again.
"So, let's get to the point. I know that you went to complaint against Kim Seokjin for assault, and I believe the victim is Jimin" on that Hana nodded.
"Yes, and clearly they didn't help them just like in my sister's case" Jungkook gritted his teeth because of the unfairness. His trust on law and order demolish since her sister was declared dead without any evidence. His parents had to arrange their daughter's funeral without her body.
"I am sorry" Jung Hoseok knew that the young lad's anger wasn't directed on him but the system yet he couldn't help but feel guilty to be a part of corrupt organization.
"Hmm, let's leave it and focus on how would you help us"
"Actually, I transferred here one year ago and I always saw officer doing their job competently, solving the cases. But your sister's file was one of few stacked with the pending ones where the dates of files were of 2000s. I was confused as why those files were pile up with wrong one as we always tried to solve the pendings. And before you ask what's wrong with incorrect labeling. It means that those file were intentionally hidden, so no one would look up them. And coincidentally I bump with them, asked my seniors about those file but they told me to drop it"
"Wait! there are more files like my sister's"
"Yes, missing cases near woods and whose main suspect is Seokjin"
"I don't understand why would cops would try to save some ordinary man unless-"
"Unless, he's some big hotshot or a powerful man is behind him"
"I think having this convo here isn't safe"
"Yeah I agree but before we move somewhere, I want everyone to be hundred percent sure about this. I can say from experience that it's not safe to go for Seokjin and Hoseok, how would we know that you won't double cross us"
"I can give you anything but my promise that I'll do anything to put him behind the bars"
"So, what are you waiting for let's go"
The group of little investigators decided to go in Jungkook's cabin as it wasn't safe to talk about important things in the public café.
"Okay? Now what? I think the cafe was more spacious" Yoongi asked as he took in the small living area.
Jungkook huffed and move near the empty wall, pushing it with a loud thud, before the cemented wall abruptly become mobile. Dragging the wall aside, Jungkook ushered them to enter. With dumbfounded gazes they took the features of secret room. Library books thrown haphazardly, maps pasted on walls with wooden pins on them, foldable chairs, board and lots of sticky notes.
"Whoa! I have never seen something cool like this ever in my life" Hoseok awed in delight
"Guys, let's start from what I know then you'll say your pieces. Yoongi, you ready with your marker?" Jungkook clapped to gain attention.
Yoongi quietly walk towards white board as everyone else parched on the chairs.
"So, I'll start first, since I am the one who came in this town first, two years ago. After my sister's disappearance, I came to ask Seokjin about it as I still had some faith on him that maybe he could help me but he straight up denied to recognize me which was strange. Thus, I knew that he had something to do with her missing. All this time, I followed him around but I think most of the time he knew that someone was following him as he was too cautious and almost never do anything odd or meet suspicious people"
"Okay, my turn, I already told y'all about my curiousness which got me asking the locals here about him and they were adamant to say that Kim Seokjin is an ordinary handsome man, who just likes to stay alone. And upon about the missing cases, they blame it to the dark soul of forest. And the seniors were co-operative, so I dropped it" Hoseok told them.
"Hoseok, I don't believe that you would just drop the cases because your higher ups didn't allow" Hana raised her eyebrows and everyone saw the sheepish look on his face.
"Okayyy, I was intrigued and thought that I will personally interrogate Seokjin. But he didn't let me search his house, firm to have search warrant first and complaint about me to my seniors. That's why, I can't around his house or take any of his case or even look into them" he pouted at the end.
"Hoseok, what did you say about woods? I have also heard about it, not more, just that it was curse since a very long time maybe even ancient. I have some books which I borrowed from the library here, maybe I'll find something useful"
"I met Kim Seokjin while delivering and he was a bad customer, then I met him again at outside my workplace where he was belittling me when Taehyung was playing with me" Jimin reminisce the cute boy and he couldn't help but get soft for him.
"Oh yeah he has a cousin and that dude even hit him, I tried to tell some NGOs but nothing happened, the screams never let me sleeps" Jungkook confessed.
"Wait what? his cousin?" on that Jungkook nodded.
"But I have read from Seokjin's personal information and Kim Taehyung's his brother"
"WHAT? But I had always notice him regarding Taehyung as his distant cousin" Jungkook was more perplexed.
"Why would he lie about that?" Hana asked.
"Maybe he wanted to hide something. His personal life?" Jimin was confused.
"Maybe his family history?" Yoongi breathed.
"But first we have to fine that big hotshot behind him or the cops wouldn't let us snoop around" he continued.
"I second that"
"I don't think it's that easy. But I'll try to find in my senior's stuff or tab their calls" Hoseok propose while wearing his coat.
"We'll look into their family history" Yoongi and Hana stood too.
"And I'll busy myself with woods' story" Jungkook deadpanned.
"Guys Jackson just text me. I think I am going to collect some evidence to prove Miss Lee's obsessive behavior"
"Goodluck"
