Your little sweetheart is hiding something!
x o x o

Jungkook pursed his lips.

"You think Tzuyu is blackmailing us? S-She doesn't even know anything!"

"Just because she's stupid in school doesn't mean she's stupid."

"Chaeyoung, that doesn't make any—"

She cut Jungkook off with a look, before continuing. "Tzuyu is super smart when it comes to these kind of things. Sure she doesn't pay attention in class, but who knows what she's scheming during a math test?"

"Yeah, I agree with Chaeng on this. Tzuyu never liked any of us. Me and Lisa in particular. We always bullied her."

"To an extent she would blackmail us too? It doesn't make sense, why would Tzuyu hate us? We never did anything to her." Namjoon frowned.

"Princess, don't point the guns at the most obvious person." Taehyung reprimanded, watching the brunette fume up almost instantly.

"I'm not!"

"You kind of are. You bullied her, she hates you, so she would want to haunt you forever. Pretty cliche if you ask me."

"Well I didn't ask you."

"That's fine. You still know my opinion either way."

Yoongi snorted, before looking away from Taehyung. He had never seen Jennie get riled up by a guy so quickly.

Not even by him, annoying as he had been long ago.

"Tzuyu can't be the blogger. She would've had to have made the website herself."

"Unless she paid the IT club to design it for her." Jin bit his lip. Why were they blaming her exactly?

"We can find out. I'll talk to the president after school next week." Jisoo suggested. She had connections all across the school, it was best she did it.

"I see that little Ro joined Tzuyu's side."

"Yeah she did." Jin mused. "I see where's Chae's going with that. Tzuyu does everything for a reason. I think she's using my sister."

"Do you even care Jin?"

"Of course he cares!" Jisoo defended. "But leave her alone for now Jin. I think of we're actually thinking Tzu's behind this, we need someone on the wrong side."

"Roa would never tell me what Tzuyu's up to."

"She won't, but you could find out for yourself. If you look in the right places." Jennie smiled. "She isn't always in her room, now is she?"

"No."

"Then you know what to do."

"But what if—"

"We're doing this so we can confirm what's right and wrong. We need to know something before we continue." Namjoon pleaded. "Jin, everyone else has agreed. What about you?"

Hani sighed, glancing at the computer screen.

"Sorry Jisoo. No one has worked on this as a project. The X's and O's blog has complicated code. It's nothing like what any of us have done here."

Jisoo frowned. "You're sure?"

"I've been the president for four years now. I'm positive we haven't."

Namjoon smiled at Hani. "Okay, thanks Han. Let's go Jisoo."

She was confused. "If none of them did it, then who coded it? It was a student made project!"

"Maybe someone who wasn't in the IT club?"

"B-But that doesn't narrow it down at all!"

"Why are we even searching for the person who created the blog?"

Jisoo glared at Namjoon. "Obviously the person who created the blog is the blogger?"

"What if she paid someone?"

"That doesn't..." Jisoo sighed, lips hitting into a pout. He grinned in victory.

"I do make a good point."

"Shut up."

"But who exactly is good at coding, but not part of the IT club? It just doesn't make sense. Why hide something you're good at?"

Jisoo's eyes widened, and slapped Namjoon's shoulder in excitement.

"That's it! You're a genius!"

"I know..." He drawled, rubbing his shoulder. "But enlighten me on how I am?"

"If they're hiding it, that means they're popular. It has to be someone popular. No one would expect them to be good at coding, so...that narrows it down, doesn't it?"

Chaeyoung felt a light step in her feet, despite the somber news that always followed her.

Solji died, it was an accidental murder according to the autopsy. Officer Yezi has shot her, thinking it was someone else.

Chaeyoung had a feeling she knew who Yezi had mistaken the girl for.

But the real question was, why did she shoot her? Was it because it seemed like Solji had been running away?

And who killed Officer Yezi? She had been shot as well. Multiple times.

(i guess x's and o's hit her with that ddu du ddu du—)

Chaeyoung as usual had a lot of questions. Ordering a hot chocolate, like usual, she took the drink with her to the nearest table.

"Chaeyoung!"

"Oh, hey Jimin." Chaeyoung smiled, watching him get up from his seat. Why did they always encounter each other in this diner?

"How's Lisa?"

"She's sad, as expected. It was so unexpected." She sighed. "Officer Yezi killed her."

"I heard. But who killed Yezi?"

"That's my question too." Chaeyoung chimed. "And why? It obviously looked like a set up."

"A set up?"

"From the back, Solji looks awfully like Jennie, doesn't she?"

Jimin's eyes widened.

"I don't wanna' be that person, but I think she set up Officer Yezi. She probably set off some hint saying that Jennie planned to run away or something, I don't know. Then when Yezi saw Solji, thinking it was Jennie..." Chaeyoung frowned.

"And when Solji started to run, Yezi shot her. I think that she realized she killed the wrong girl. And that's when the blogger killed her."

"Two birds with one stone." He muttered.

Chaeyoung met his eyes, lips twitching. "Yeah, s-something like that."

"You seem pretty sure of yourself."

"It's just a theory. I'm guessing." She mumbled, taking a sip of her hot coco. "It may be wrong."

"I—"

"I still like you." She blurted. "I'm sorry. You were always there for me even through my ups and downs. When we had even small problems I lashed out and did reckless things, I'm sorry. It's really hard for me, because I see Momo looking at you like that...and it makes me sad. I used to be like that, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I caused you to cheat on me, I probably deserved it..."

"Slow down, would you? I hardly understood a word you said." His smile spread, teasing her. Chaeyoung's lips parted.

"What?"

"I mean I got the whole apology part and that you still like me and shit—"

"Don't tease me!" She frowned, setting down her now empty cup. Jimin grinned wider in return.

"I didn't notice that Momo liked me."

"Of course you didn't. You're very oblivious."

"Yah!"

Chaeyoung bit her lip. "Well, I—uh, said what I wanted to say. If you need time, I'll give you time. See you around Jimin."

She tossed the cup in the trash before walking past him. Awkwardness consumed her as she stepped out of the diner.

Why had she done that? All out of the sudden? Right after she tried to befriend Momo? Could Chaeyoung possibly be any more stupid?

"Chaeyoung wait!" Jimin yelled after her, dashing out of the diner moments later. She was found trailing along the sidewalk, lightly peppered in snow.

He felt his breath fanning out in front of him. She turned, confusion evident. With those pink-tinted cheeks of hers.

"You didn't even let me say anything?"

"Well, you were just talking about how you liked Momo so I just—"

"I never said that! Chaeyoung, you make this so hard." He let out a breath. "I told you this long ago and I'll say it again now. It hasn't changed and it never will."

His arms wrapped around her frame.

"I still love you. I don't think I could ever stop."

"But you said—"

"I was angry then. People say things they don't mean when they're angry. Please trust me..."

"I-I do."

His breath caught in his throat when she closed the gap between them.
