~No one's POV~

Taehyung was walking down the hallway, looking at the paintings in the house.

He knew who had made these and it made it all weirder that he could tell the story behind most of them. 

"So this was the stargazing one!" Taehyung pointed to a painting, showing a mountain creek in the nighttime. Two children, a boy, and a girl were sitting at the foot of the creek. Even a blind person could tell that the duo was Y/N and her brother.

Taehyung kept his eyes on the painting as he walked forward and bumped into a hard wall.

The wall said, "Ouch, look where you are going!"

Taehyung blinked and realized it wasn't a wall he bumped into, it was Jimin rubbing his forehead.

"What are you doing here?" Jimin asked the blond-haired guy who was still rubbing his forehead.

"Me? I was looking at the paintings. Who made them?" Taehyung asked innocently.

"These? I have no idea. I have come to this house for the first time." Jimin shrugged.

Taehyung looked at the guy with raised eyebrows.

"Seriously?"

"Obviously."

"Hey, that rhymed!"

Jimin rolled his eyes and walked in the direction he was already going. He too was curious why did the paintings have the same initial, why each painting had a quote under it, and why most paintings had a boy and a girl in them.

But he couldn't wonder about paintings when they were getting nowhere to find about Giho.

The man was practically no one. Everything was framed about him and if you tried to read between the lines, you would soon realize that Giho doesn't exist. He was just an identity using which someone worked and it may or may not be possible that the 'someone' was more than one person.

Jimin stopped walking, as a realization dawned upon him.

"Someone uses Giho's identity to work, what if it is a whole gang? The snake one?" Jimin said to himself.

"What?" Taehyung asked from behind him, as he was following him too. He made sure not to walk just behind Jimin in case he would bump again, but he still ended up hitting his elbow when Jimin stopped in his tracks.

"Giho is the attacker all along! We don't need to find Giho, we just need to find where his gang is! The snake gang is Giho's gang!" Jimin held Taehyung by his shoulders as he shook him, feeling a little bit hopeful about the situation.

"Wait, snakes? When did that happen and who is Giho?!" Taehyung asked, getting confused exponentially by the seconds.

"You will know soon!" Jimin left Taehyung confused and practically ran to the lab to tell Y/N.

He opened the door excitedly, ready to share the news when everything came back to him.

"Shit I forgot," Jimin closed the door on Y/N and walked to Jungkook's room.

He wasn't supposed to initiate any conversation with Y/N until she apologized. He didn't like this a bit but seeing that she put her life in danger without telling him, she deserved some punishment.

"Jungkook, I have news!" Jimin sat on the stool excitedly, ready to tell his findings.

"Do you? What is it?" Jungkook answered with the same enthusiasm.

"Listen, we all are trying to find Giho, but you and I both know Giho is just a 2d identity, he isn't real."

Jungkook nodded.

"So what if the snake gang is actually working under the name of Giho? If it is possible, then this gang must have had connections with the Kim gang, because the supposed Giho has helped the Kim gang in the past? This might be the reason they don't want the Kim brothers with us or for us to find out about Giho because that would reveal what tteokbokki they have been cooking?"

Jungkook blinked.

"That makes sense." Jungkook began slowly, "But if they have been hiding for so long, why did they attack Sunghoon and leave such a big clue?"

"Even monkeys fall from trees. Everyone makes mistakes. I bet it was a rookie member of the gang and they must've gotten rid of them the moment they found out the blunder." Jimin gave a one-sided shrug.

"We need to tell Y/N," Jungkook said.

"I know. Right now?" Jimin asked.

"No, first let us tell Hyungs." Jungkook stood up, Jimin mirroring him and they both walked in the direction of Hoseok's lab, read to tell their findings.

"This is a bad idea," Y/N muttered.

She replayed the recordings again, to hear anything more that Jin and Taehyung might have said about that partner. She had her suspicion going on but the only thing she could do was ask them.

Jin would never answer.

Taehyung was somewhere in the house, she just didn't know where.

That left Namjoon.

The guy was always predictable, even now she knew he was in the library and also that it was about time he came to the training room.

He was the only person except for Taehyung who would actually answer her questions.

"Come on, where is he?' Y/N paced around, getting irritated by the minute.

Waiting for someone is the last thing she could do, but sometimes desperate times takes desperate measures.

Y/N paced around, at some point she unconsciously took a hand wrap in her hand and was now wrapping it around her fingers.

The training room always revoked the trainee inside her, no matter the situation or time.

Speaking of trainees, Y/N remembered Namjoon had asked her to teach him fencing. But she didn't know if there would be enough time for him to learn it, seeing that he has never even touched a sabre before.

"Leave the fucking fencing lessons we need to focus on the problem!" Y/N shook her head, still wrapping the hand wrap on her other hand.

Y/N glanced at the door and no one had entered there till now.

She sighed, dropping to the floor to cross her legs in a complicated pattern that she claimed to have 'relaxing properties'.

As Y/N was about to go on a full three-minute curse rampage, the door clicked open slowly.

Namjoon walked inside, closing the door.

He carefully removed his shoes and then turned to get one of the hand wraps.

And screamed.

"Woah calm the fuck down what happened?" Y/N stood up turning around her place to see if there was any attacker or something that scared Namjoon.

"What are you doing here?" Namjoon squeaked, pointing towards Y/N.

"Converting Oxygen into Carbon Dioxide. How about you?" Y/N said sweetly, rolling her eyes.

"I- what?"

"Cut the crap. I'm here to ask stuff. Answer them and I'll go." Y/N stood up, coming face to face with the black-haired guy.

"After you ran away from your house, how did you hide from your family? Surely the Kim gang is more than capable of finding even a needle in the haystack, why couldn't they find you?" Y/N asked, straight to the point.

"I- Why should I answer?" Namjoon asked, suspiciously.

"Because that will help me save your ass. Now speak." Y/N folded her arms, looking at Namjoon expectantly.

"Someone offered to help. He trained us during the three months he was with us, and then left us on our own. Jin Hyung and Taehung, both took up jobs given by him, but he told me I needed to stay at home. For plot reasons." Namjoon shrugged.

"His name?" Y/N asked.

"He told us his name the day we were saying goodbyes. I think it was something like Youngsoo?"
