seokjin:
❝ a few hours ago before
your birthday party, when
i wanted to come to your
place, i found a box at my
door ❞

seokjin:
❝ i opened it, but there was
nothing inside ❞

seokjin:
❝ when i closed the door
to get changed, i saw
something on the floor ❞

seokjin:
❝ it was a note ❞

taehyung:
❝ what did it say? ❞

seokjin:
❝ it said: nothing is a
coincidence ❞

seokjin:
❝ fight for your life, but
do not get too close to
the fire ❞

seokjin:
❝ you are the key when
the hopes are down ❞

seokjin:
❝ it said that i am the
key ❞

seokjin:
❝ what did it mean? ❞

taehyung:
❝ i don't know, man ❞

taehyung:
❝ this is crazy ❞

seokjin:
❝ but... i saw you there ❞

seokjin:
❝ you were there,
taehyung! ❞

taehyung:
❝ what?! ❞

seokjin:
❝ i saw you through the
window! ❞

seokjin:
❝ you were standing there,
staring at me like a creep! ❞

taehyung:
❝ woah! dude, are you
crazy? ❞

taehyung:
❝ i don't even know what
you're talking about! ❞

seokjin:
❝ no! ❞

[seokjin grabs taehyung by the collar, and pushes him to the wall]

seokjin:
❝ you were wearing the
hoodie which i'd bought
for you last year! ❞

seokjin:
❝ damn, taehyung! ❞

seokjin:
❝ i knew you were lying! ❞

seokjin:
❝ you're the fucking liar
the killer was talking
about! ❞

seokjin:
❝ you can even be the
fucking killer, himself! ❞

taehyung:
❝ s-seokjin... my— my...
my n-neck— you're...
hurting me ❞

seokjin:
❝ one dies as he lies... ❞

taehyung:
❝ b-but i'm n-not... the
liar! ❞

[as taehyung is struggling to stay alive, somebody pushes the door open, and aims the gun at seokjin's head]

namjoon:
❝ let go of my brother ❞
