A/N: Hi lovelies...

I hope your days are all going well and you aren't stuck in the situation the boys are in...in my story. 

I'm excited for the Bring the Soul web series coming out soon. I saw the movie, but I think the mini series will be just as good!

Now on with the story. :)

12:15 A.M.

Waiting Room of Police Station

TH: Why do we have to be first?

JK: Because...first is the worst.

(TAEHYUNG AND JUNGKOOK FROWN AT EACH OTHER ACROSS THE CHAIRS)

TH: I hope you know that you're referring to yourself. Dumbass.

JK: How am I the dumbass! You're the one who upset Violeta enough for her to hit you!

TH: Damn it Jungkook, you were right there! You saw the way she acted...Not to sound like an ass, but-

JK: Don't say she deserved it-

TH: I wasn't going to fucking say that!

JK: Don't lie to me, Taehyung. I could see it etched all over your face. 

TH: ...what, are you...accusing me of something?

(JUNGKOOK LOOKS AWAY)

TH: Fuck you, Kook. I thought we had each other's backs.

JK: I swear to God--stop calling me Kook. You know I don't like that...

TH: And you know, Kook, that I would never murder another person, bitch or no bitch-

JK: Stop talking to me.

(TAEHYUNG SNEERS AT THE FLOOR. FIVE MINUTES PASS IN SILENCE)

TH: I didn't do it, Jungkook. You have to believe me.

JK: Okay Taehyung. But who would've done it then? Santa Claus?

TH: ...I don't know. I don't know. But you make it sound as if I'm some fucking criminal-

JK: Taehyung, that was Kang Violeta. The Kang Violeta!

TH: Doesn't ring a bell...

JK: Dude seriously?! You were there when the officer told us. She's a huge businesswoman in Seoul-

TH: I wasn't really paying attention.

JK (SCOFFING): Of course. Not unlike you to miss something important-

TH: Bro come on! After a dead fucking body interrupted my already sucky Friday night, not to mention without a single goddamn noodle in my stomach, I couldn't pay attention to anything! I just wanted to go home and see...

(TAEHYUNG SIGHS, ROLLING HIS EYES. HE DOESN'T FINISH THE STATEMENT)

JK: See...who? One of your 50 girlfriends?

TH (LIGHTLY PUNCHING JUNGKOOK): No. I wanted...want to get home to my younger brother.

JK: Oh. I didn't realize-

TH: He's fucking home alone while my parents are at some work party and I just know he's cowering under his covers--he fucking despises the dark. He probably has all the lights on in the house...I can see him, sitting by the door waiting for me--I probably have 1000 missed calls from him. Fucking asshole officers wouldn't let us get our phones...

JK (LOOKING AT TAEHYUNG STRANGELY): Why haven't you told us about your brother before?

TH: Well...he's-- (TAEHYUNG RUBS HIS FACE WITH A HAND) He's not really my brother fully--he's a half-brother.

JK: Hmm. What's his name? How old is he?

TH: We all call him 'Melon' but his real name is-

(DOOR OPENS SUDDENLY, ADMITTING TWO OFFICERS)

Officer #1: Jeon Jungkook. Come with me.

Officer #2: Kim Taehyung, this way.

(TWO BOYS SHARE A GLANCE BEFORE RISING FROM THEIR SEATS, FOLLOWING OFFICERS OUT OF ROOM. JEON GOES LEFT, KIM GOES RIGHT)

12:29 A.M.

Interrogation Room

Officer Paul: Jeon Jungkook. Age? Birthday?

JK: September 1st, 1997.

Paul: My son is your age. Interesting. Okay, Jungkook. My name is Officer Paul and I'm going to ask you some questions about the incident that happened earlier in the night. Answer them as completely as you can--but if you can't remember something, don't fabricate anything you aren't sure about.

JK: Okay...sir.

Paul: Good. It seems we're at an understanding. So the first thing I'm going to ask you to do is recollect everything that happened earlier the best you can. Names and actions are appreciated to help us solve the case.

(OFFICER CLICKS RECORD BUTTON ON TAPE RECORDER BEFORE PLACING IT ON THE TABLE)

Paul: You may begin Jungkook. What happened at Hope Noodles tonight?

JK (WIPING HIS SWEATY HANDS OFF ON HIS LACROSSE PANTS): Okay, so--after we lost the match tonight...Jin, or was it Namjoon?--suggested that we get some food at a good noodle place not too far from the opposing team's school that our match was at. We all drove to the place in three cars and went in; I had never been there before. We were about to order when a lady pushed forward and ordered ahead of us. I didn't fuss much because I wasn't in the mood for fighting but...

Paul: Was someone else in your group upset?

JK: Yes. Intensely. Taehyung appeared very...well, angered by the woman's rude words to us.

Paul: She exchanged rude words with your group?

JK: Yes; she told us multiple times how slow and dumb we all were even though we did nothing. She seemed rushed. (JUNGKOOK, RAISING HIS VOICE A PITCH) "I just want my fucking lo mein!" and "hurry the fuck up!" left her mouth about 50 times...

Paul: And then...?

JK: Well, then the storm got really ba--no wait, the owner left to made the noodles for her and then the lady charged at Taehyung with her purse. Taehyung almost went after the woman...if Namjoon didn't stop him...

Paul: Is Taehyung normally violent?

JK: He's not extremely violent, no. On the field he's a beast to other players though. Other teams think of Taehyung first when they hear our team name. He's a super good player and will probably get a full ride scholarship to-

Paul: Jeon. Stay on track please.

JK: Sorry. Anyway, no--Taehyung's not super aggressive to strangers, at least not physically. Even though he lunged toward that woman, he'd stop himself from doing anything, of that I'm sure. And then the power went out, Hoseok told us about the tornado warning--oh yeah! And the lamp post outside the store broke through the window when it was really windy and we all went into the freezer. The lady wasn't with us...we left the freezer when the warning was lifted...and saw the body...

Paul: I see...was that when Hoseok called the police?

JK: Yeah. We were all freaked to hell.

Paul: Did anybody touch the body after it was discovered?

JK: Well, Hoseok checked for a pulse to see if she...

(JUNGKOOK CRACKS HIS KNUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Paul: Okay, okay. Now I'm going to ask you something that you don't have to answer if you are unsure. Just know that if you're honest and we catch the real culprit, no repercussions will given to you if you participate.

JK: If you're suggesting-

Paul: Yes, Jungkook. If you know something about one of your friends that you aren't telling me to protect them from something they may have done-

JK: None of them did it! I know them. I don't know Hoseok well. If she was badmouthing to him and he didn't like it...

Paul: So you're saying he killed her while he was making the noodles or did he come back in the middle of that and do it then? Did you hear anything to confirm this-

JK: God. I don't know! I--All I know is that Hoseok is probably out to frame either me or Taehyung for a crime we didn't do...a crime no one on the lacrosse team did!

Paul: You believe Hoseok is after you...so you are putting the blame on him...to, to protect yourself?

(JUNGKOOK LOOKS DOWN AT HANDS)

JK: Jesus, officer...if you put it that way...

Paul: How can I be sure it wasn't you?

JK: Oh...my--no! I was minding my own business during that entire exchange of words. I wasn't even close to the woman! When the lights went out I was as afraid and confused as everyone else-

Paul: It is to my knowledge that you're the youngest one in the team...correct?

JK: Y-yes...what's that got to do with anything! Just because I'm young-

Paul: I'm not attacking you, Jungkook. No need to be defensive. Who's the leader on your lacrosse team?

JK: ...(MUMBLES)...

Paul: What was that?

JK: Taehyung. Taehyung is technically the leader because he's the best player but we all listen to Namjoon. He's the best at organizing and navigating through our plays.

Paul: I see... (PAUL REACHES FORWARD TO TURN OFF TAPE RECORDER) That's all for now. You can return to the waiting room.

JK: How long will I have to wait? My parents are probably worried-

Paul: We'll allow you to call from the phone here. Just ask the guy at the front desk.

(JUNGKOOK GETS UP FROM THE CHAIR SHAKILY AND GOES TO THE DOOR)

JK: Thanks...officer.

(JK WALKS BACK TO WAITING ROOM. JIMIN, YOONGI, HOSEOK, AND TAEHYUNG ARE SEATED IN CHAIRS THERE)

TH: Jungkook!

YG: Hello.

(JUNGKOOK TAKES THE SEAT CLOSEST TO TAEHYUNG, FARTHEST FROM HOSEOK)

JM: How did it go? Taehyung was just telling us about his interrogation. Us three didn't go yet...

(JUNGKOOK MAKES EYE CONTACT WITH HOSEOK BEFORE LOOKING AWAY)

TH: Who was your guy? Mine was Richard, but he let me call him Rich. Really nice guy actually, I told him what happened and he let me out after like, two seconds. Hardly asked me a thing.

JK: Oh...well, I had Paul. He asked me lots of things.

JM: Like what?

JK: About me...about the lacrosse team...about the incident. Yeah, I don't know. I think he's the top gun of the investigation or something, he seems like he knows-

HS: What did you tell him?

JK: Uh...I said that none of us had anything to do with it. It...it was dark and we were all scared and-

HS: Really? Are you sure you didn't just blame her death on m-

JM: Hoseok...let's not get into a fight here please. We're all really tired and want to get this over with. Whatever the officers wanted out of Jungkook they got.

HS: But-

TH: Jungkook, did you say anything about me?

JK: Only that you are the captain of the team...but I told him we trust Namjoon just as much.

TH: Figures...

YG: Me?

JK (SMILING AT YOONGI): No, he hardly asked about the others. Yet, at least.

JM: Aw shoot. I wanted you to tell him how good of a lacrosse player I am. 

(JIMIN WINKS)

YG: Liar.

TH (CHUCKLING): Yeah, I gotta give it to Yoongi. You sucked tonight, Jimin, don't lie. Lost all of my passes to you...fumbled twice, got a penalty for-

JM (RED-FACED): Yeah, yeah.

HS: Here comes the officers. 

(OFFICERS ENTER ROOM)

Paul: Park Jimin, Min Yoongi--if you'll come with me.

Rich: Jung Hoseok. This way.

(THREE BOYS TRAVEL WITH RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, LEAVING TAEHYUNG AND JUNGKOOK ALONE)

TH (TURNING TO JK): So...

JK: So...

TH: How did it really go? I can tell when you're lying, Jeon. Was it because Hoseok was there?

JK (COUGHING SUDDENLY): Ehm! Uh, yeah...I told Paul that no one on our team did it...they would never, ah, kill anyone...

TH: That's right...and?

JK: And through process of elimination I told them I think Hoseok did it.

TH (EYES WIDENING): You can't--you couldn't have accused someone like that--you didn't really see anything, did you?

JK: Well, no...but Tae--erm, Taehyung, who else could have done it? I mean...

TH: ...

(TAEHYUNG STANDS UP FROM CHAIR)

TH: I--I don't want to...

JK: Nevermind. Where are you going? Are you going to the front desk-

TH: To make a call, yes. Wanna come?

JK: Yeah, my parents will fucking kill me if they think I'm out partying or something...

TH: This isn't a party? (TAEHYUNG LOOKS AROUND HIMSELF IN CONFUSION BEFORE LIGHTLY NUDGING THE TABLE WITH HIS FOOT) Ahh, who am I kidding? This is worst party I've ever been to.

JK (GRINNING): Well...a party ain't a party until the cops show up.

TH: Hahaha! A true party we're having then...I didn't know the boy could be funny! Let's go call our families.

(JUNGKOOK AND TAEHYUNG LEAVE ROOM)
