"HOLD up a second." Jisoo showed Rosé her palm while shutting her eyes close, trying to process the things which the maknaes had just said.

The five maknaes basically told the elders about the game they played and Chaeyoung explained how she and Lisa ended up experiencing weird things.

"So you're telling me... that Taehyung ruined the game that's why you got into this mess?" Jisoo clarified, eyeing Chaeyoung.

"Yes, noona. It's all my fault." Taehyung lowered his head, feeling gultier than ever. His conscience and guilt is slowly eating him up.

"No! No... that's not what Chaeyoung meant. It was all my fault, Unnie. If only I didn't become so stubborn and locking myself in without their consent, Tae wouldn't have been worried for me and came after me. This is clearly my fault, unnie. Don't blame him." Lisa defended Taehyung.

This made Jungkook scoff a bit. He was internally blaming Taehyung for it and also, he's insecure that Lisa is defending him and covering his mistakes for him. That made Jungkook even more furious at his hyung.

"No. This was all my fault." Chaeyoung muttered, her voice cracking. They all turned to her but Lisa looked at her in disagreement.

"No Chae—"

"If I didn't introduced the game to you... If I should've just dragged you out instead of giving you intructions of the game... If I only had a little common sense that night... This wouldn't ha—"

"No, Chaeng. This isn't your fault. Nobody is at fault." Jimin embraces Chaeyoung to comfort her. She's now a sobbing mess on Jimin's chest while she blames herself for the mess she thought she made.

Jennie face palmed herself, trying to calm herself from scolding all of them as well as Jisoo but she was being comforted by Jin. Namjoon sighed.

"There's no point in blaming each other. It won't change the fact that the five of you are being haunted." Namjoon said, making the others look at him.

Jin continued, "Namjoon's right. The best way to do now is to find a solution." The elders nodded at him.

"And how are we gonna find a solution when we don't have any lead?" Jennie butted in.

"I know someone who can help us. And this is our lead." Chaeyoung puts the piece of paper that the librarian gave to her on their dining table.

"Han? Who the fuck is Han?" Suga furrowed his brows after reading the paper.

"There are millions of people named Han here in Korea. How are we gonna find this particular Han?" JHope asked, lifting the paper with the name written on it.

"The librarian knows something. I know she knows enough about what's happening to us." Chaeyoung said.

"The librarian?" Jin asked.

"Yes, oppa. She was so scared to tell me something a while ago. She wanted to tell me but something is stopping her." Chae answered.

"Excuse me? Did you say a while a ago?" Jisoo raised an eyebrow at her.

Oh shit, the four maknaes except for Lisa, cussed internally.

"Did you... YOU BRATS! Did you sneak in the campus?! While the crime scene was on going?! You-ugh! Jin! Talk to these kids! I'm-argh! Fffff!" Jisoo wanted to cuss but she can't. She just clenched her fist and held the temple of her head, feeling really disappointed.

Jin sighed at them while the four maknaes, excpet for Lisa, are now lowering their heads in guilt.

"You know what you did was dangerous, right? You could've been caught and got sanctioned or worse... expelled. We can't have your parents knowing that, right?" Jin tried his best to talk in a calm way but he was furious and disappointed as well. But his worries for the maknaes and care for them will always prevail.

"Parents? Are you referring to You and Jisoo noona or..."

"Both." Jin cuts off Taehyung.

"We're just worried for you since you five are the youngest and obviously the reckless ones too. We just don't want you guys getting in trouble." Jin stated making the five maknaes nod at him.

Jin and Jisoo has always been the parents of their house. Nobody complained tho since the two of them are the best parents you can ever have.

They feed you more than what you want, they care for you more than what you needed and they will love you for who you are, not caring how you smell or where you came from.

"The next time you disobey your noonas and oppas, I will not be there to talk to you like this anymore. I won't tolerate it, understand?" Jin rasied an eyebrow at them making the five maknaes nod at him.

"Now get your things and we'll be going to that librarian right now to end this shit." Namjoon then spoke.

All of them nodded and went to their respective rooms to prepare.

But Lisa remained on the sofa, still blaming herself for everything. She's also worried about dragging her unnies and oppas in the mess she made.

"Hey."

Jungkook patted her shoulder. He was standing behind Lisa, feeling worried for the beauty too. He sat beside her since they were the only ones who were left in the living room.

"It's not your fault." Jungkook assured her. He knows what's going on Lisa's mind, they've been together for the longest time.

Lisa couldn't keep her hands to herself and hugged Jungkook. She was a bit taken a back at her actions too and so is Jungkook. But once she felt Jungkook's warmth, she realized she needed it so bad right now.

The need of comfort.

"It's going to be alright." Jungkook patted Lisa by her head and hugged her back, caressing her back. Lisa nodded at him and pulled away to get ready.

8:46 pm.

All of them are now inside Suga's car, on their way to the librarian's house. The ride was actually silent. Jisoo is still upset as well as Jennie. On the other hand the five maknaes are worried for their parents and their older 'siblings' for dragging them into the mess.

"We're here." Suga parked in an old looking apartments.

They all got out of the car and stared at the building. If it wasn't for the lights on the windows, it seemed so old and abandoned at the same time.

"Are you sure she lives here?" Jin asked Namjoon.

Namjoon nodded, "Yeah. It's what my computer said." He said, reffering to the hacking he just did a while ago to track the librarian.

Then Suga suddenly pushed Taehyung forward, causing him to stand a bit closer to the front door.

"Knock." Suga coldly said.

Although Suga doesn't talk much, he sure is blaming taehyung for everything, including messing up with his favorite dongsaeng, (younger sibling) Lisa.

"Why me?!" He whispered to them, nearly shouting. Then he grabbed Namjoon by the hand and switched places with him.

Now, Namjoon is standing in front. He was a little scared but he took a deep breath and glanced at his friends behind him before finally knocking.

*knock-knock*

Silence. Pure silence was only heard. There was no response and Namjoon started scratching the back of his head.

He knocked once again. But to no avail.

He knocked twice, thrice, and the fourth time, still no response.

"Are you sure this is the right address?" Jennie raised an eyebrow at him, getting a little impatient.

"Maybe she's not home yet." Jungkook muttered, stealing glances at Lisa.

"It's past 10 in the evening. Where could she be going?" Chaeyoung sarcastically asked with her eyes rolling.

Before everyone could start an argument, Namjoon cleared his throat and knock once again saying,

"Hello? Is anyone home? We just want to talk to Mrs. Lee about Han—"

Everybody was startled when the door swung open, revealing the librarian now standing in the door way, glaring at them.

"Don't speak that name in my house. Now come before she sees us! Come!" She walked over to them and pushed them inside her apartment.

And when they were inside, their eyes wandered and brows furrowing at the sight of the librarian's apartment.

It was dark but not dark enough since there are—maybe thousands of candles are displayed inside her house.

And the walls... Lisa felt chills staring at the walls. It has so many creepy symbols on it that it made her cling on the arm of the person beside her, Jungkook.

Jungkook felt Lisa's hands trembling so instead of offering his arm, he gathered all the courage he had left and intertwined his hands with Lisa's, making the girl flinch a little. But she didn't protest anymore because she felt safer.

On the other hand, Taehyung who is just behind the two saw this moment. He wanted to go home now and just tell himself that he was such a coward for not making a move on her and letting Jungkook win. He was so heartbroken at this moment.

But the drama vanished when Namjoon started talking.

"Mrs. Lee, we need your help." Namjoon spat as soon as they arrive at the living room.

"I know you need my help." She chuckled at them and casually settled herself in the single seated chair.

"You were waiting for us?" Chaeyoung asked her and she just smiled at us.

"She is waiting for you."

And she eyed their precious Lalisa.
