"Okay, who in the hell thought this was a good idea?" Rose shouted as she and her ten friends walked in the deep jungle, the leaves moving under their foot as they tried to prevent the tree branches who could slap their faces. 

"It was Jisoo's idea and this is horrible, these insects are flying into my nose," Jennie shouted back as she tried to maintain her balance on the rocky ground. "They are not insects, they are bugs," Namjoon told Jennie

"Thank you Mister Intelligent," Jennie said, sarcasm highlighting her words. "Okay, can we just return to the cabin? I want to go back home," Jimin said as he wiped the dust off his jacket. "Seriously, why did we agree to this five-hour camp, I hate it," Jungkook said, gasping for breath

"Can we stop for a second please, my legs hurt," Jin said, leaning on a huge tree with a T shape. Taking out a water bottle from his bag he drank it all in one go. The others nodded and leaned on the tree as well, it was huge and tall enough. 

Suddenly they heard the bushes as if something is sneaking in them. It was loud enough, definitely not a breeze, the eleven thought. "Hello, is somebody there?" Lisa shouted, her voice echoing in the jungle. No reply came, but then the bushes made a sound again. "It's a rabbit Lisa, calm down," Jennie said, trying to be positive. 

"Is somebody there, please answer us," Lisa said, her voice shaking as the bushes continued to make a feeble sound, "It's a rabbit, Lisa, it won't answer you," Rose said once again, but then they all heard the sound of a branch breaking. "Are you sure that it's a rabbit?" Taehyung asked, their heart beating increasing, and then they heard the sound of thunder. They looked at the sky, it was getting cloudy, it will rain soon

"Let's just go to the cabin, fast," Hoseok said, standing up as they all nodded, and quickly started to walk. "Are we sure, we are on the right track?" Yoongi asked, checking around. "I am sure, the map says so," Jennie said looking at the map. 

"Guys," Namjoon who was in the front said, as they stopped walking. The others quickly looked ahead, and there with the leaves, someone had made a design. "You will die," Rose readout, emphasizing each word as they looked at it. 

Suddenly they felt drops of water on their jackets, it had started to rain. "Let's just get out of here," Jungkook said as they started to run. 

-one day later-

"Jimin, are you even listening?" Soojin asked Jimin, as they both sat in her living room. They had finished their homework together and right now Soojin was telling Jimin about everything he missed in today's dance lesson. "Sorry, I am just a bit distracted," Jimin said, knowing he wasn't a bit distracted, he was fully distracted. XOXO and this drama had been living in his mind rent-free all the time. 

"Everything okay?" she asked, and that's when he knew he should tell her. "No, I have to tell you something, but don't tell anyone okay?" he said, as she nodded without thinking any further

---------

"So, this bloody motherfucker is stalking you for more than 3 years?" Soojin asked, it was hard to believe this unless it's happening with the person itself. "Yeah, and we believe he or she is the one who killed Somi," Jimin added, 

"and now this person is targeting you all?" Soojin asked, in return, Jimin showed her all the messages, notes he had received from xoxo. "Yeah, it's horrible," Jimin answered. 

"I cannot do much to help you with this, but if you need anyone to talk to, I am here for you okay?" Soojin said as Jimin nodded. Before she could withdraw her mind from its far places, his arms were around her. She felt again the rush of helplessness, the sinking yielding, the surging tide of warmth that left her limp. And the quiet face of Soojin was blurred and drowned to nothingness. He bent back her head across his arm and kissed her, softly at first, and then with a swift gradation of intensity that made her cling to him as the only solid thing in a dizzy swaying world. His insistent mouth was parting her shaking lips, sending wild tremors along her nerves, evoking from her sensations she had never known she was capable of feeling. And before a swimming giddiness spun her round and round, she knew that she was kissing him back.

-4 hours later-

"So you finally told her?" Yoongi asked Jimin as they all once again gathered at Yoongi's house to talk. If there was anything good about this xoxo mishappening, then it would be the eleven being reunited and meeting daily. 

"Guys, I think we would find more answers if we search Somi's room and things," Hoseok said, trying to make sense. "What do you mean?" Rose asked, sitting up straight. 

"Hobi is right, we found the answer to one of our questions in Somi's things, we can find more if we search," Lisa agreed when she thought about it. "Yeah, if we can sneak in a hospital at 12 am, we can surely sneak in a house too," Jisoo said, taking a sip of her hot chocolate. 

"Guys, should we really do this?" Jennie asked, unsure about it. "We should, we need answers," Taehyung said keeping his hand on Jennie's. 

"I saw Jay leave for work this morning, we can sneak in through the window, should we do this now?" Yoongi spoke as the others nodded. "We don't want XOXO to take those things away, we shouldn't delay. When does Jay return from work?" Jin asked Yoongi 

"In one hour or so," Yoongi answered. 

"Let's do it," Jungkook said, as they all nodded

Sneaking in was hard. Connecting the ladder, making sure no one sees them, trying to open the window cautiously, and then stepping in. Yoongi, Hoseok, Jennie, Jimin, and Jisoo decide to sneak in, the others to make sure no one suspects anything on the road, and in case Jay returns, they can divert his attention. Hoseok gave Jisoo a hand as she struggled to climb up, while Jennie entered the room with no difficulties as if she is an expert. 

The minute they entered the room, memories came rushing, the room was still the same, the Enniks hadn't changed or removed anything. The bed still had the yellow mattress with flower printing, the room still had the purple lining on the walls, the things were in that same place. The Enniks kept it like they wanted to keep her memories here forever, even though they left the town. Now Jason too was keeping it that way. For some time, the others got carried away, remembering how they would use to stream movies all nights while munching on caramel popcorn, how they would study together for exams a night before and so much more. But then they realized why they were here. 

Quickly they started to search through the whole room, every box, carton, and almirah. For 20 minutes, they found nothing but things that brought back amazing memories, then Jisoo found a box kept on the top of the almirah, exactly like the one in which they found the Pendrive in. Jisoo stood on a small stool as she reached for the box, then keeping it on the bed, she started to look through it. For a minute or two, she found nothing. Suddenly she got hold of a teddy bear purse. Jisoo looked at it, affectionately, it was the teddy bear-shaped purse she had gifted Somi once. Slowly unzipping it, she looked at what's inside.

Papers, notes. Jisoo looked at them, reading, and then her heartbeat increased

"Guys, look at this, now," Jisoo called them, asking them to look at her latest findings. The others quickly gathered around, wanting to see what she just found out. Jisoo showed Yoongi the notes, as Yoongi read out one of them, "I had enough with your bossy attitude, it's time to end you, xoxo,"

"what?" Jennie murmured. Then Yoongi read the second note, "This time it was the pumpkin, next time it will be your face," 

"It's referring to Halloween day," Hoseok immediately recalled

-FLASHBACK: 3 YEARS BACK-

The eleven laughed and giggled as they walked to Somi's house. It was Halloween and the night was going to end soon. Dressed up in really creative costumes, they all had collected a lot of treats, their baskets full. Somi, who was dressed up as the witch in Sleeping Beauty led the line as they all told about their night's experience. After Halloween, they would gather at someone's house and share their treats and then watch some horror movies. The perfect way to celebrate Halloween.

They reached her house, but they all gasped when they looked at her porch. The pumpkins and lanterns were all destroyed. "Who did this?" Namjoon asked as they all looked around. "Probably some 3rd graders," Rose mumbled, as Somi walked to the big pumpkin, a knife stabbed on it along a note. Somi picked it up and her facial expression changed. "What is it?" Jennie asked fixing her tinker bell costume, "It says Happy Halloween," Somi answered

END OF FLASHBACK

"This one says, I will end you, it's all signed by XOXO," Jennie said reading another note, as Yoongi and Hoseok read more. 

"Somi was being tormented by xoxo way before it started with us," Yoongi concluded as they all looked at each other
