- Lee Minseo's POV -

I walked in through the door, and I was greeted with a warm hug by Kookie. But when he touched me I suddenly remembered the text I received off the stalker.

'Stop being so touchy around him.' 'Constantly touching him, giving him kisses, it needs to stop.'

I tensed up in fear. It needs to stop. How can I stop it? I don't want him to die.

"What's wrong?" Jungkook asked, interlocking my left hand with his right one.
"It's nothing." I smiled weakly. He then looked down at our hands, noticing the ring on my middle finger. Crap. What do I say about that!?

"That's a nice ring." He pointed out. "Where'd you get it from?" Crap. Uhh..
"A friend got it me." I lied, and I watched as Jungkook nodded slowly.
"Today?"
"Yeah." There was a silence, and I mentally sighed in relief.

"I got you lamb skewers." I smiled at him, lifting up the bag I was carrying in my other hand. I saw him reach out to grab it, but I swiftly moved my arm away. I'm not letting him carry it with his arms.
"No no, I'm carrying it." I smirked, and Jungkook began to chuckle. He leant in and gave me a peck on the forehead and I tensed again. No, I can't. Please.
"Hey, go sit down and I'll bring you your lamb, kay?" I suggested, slowly moving away from him and into the kitchen.

Who the hell is the stalker? Do you think they know me? Could they be a close friend? No, if they knew me, why would they kill people I know? They're more than likely to know them too, in which case they wouldn't want to kill their friends.

The motive must be some kind of twisted love, since the stalker keeps calling me honey and shit, and the fact that the text on Jongin's phone was something about having a crush on 'my girl', which I think was me. It can't be Jungkook, because the stalker shot him from a rooftop, and Jungkook wouldn't kill a fly, never mind people.

"Minseo!" Jungkook yelled from the living room. "You okay!?"
"Yeah, I'm coming now." I replied, talking the skewers out the bag along with the bread. Walking into the living room, I smiled at Jungkook as I handed him the food.
"You're not having any?" He asked, and I shook my head.
"No, I had some with Jimin before." I told him, and he nodded.

Before. He told me to stay where CCTV could see me.... Do you think... No! Of course not! Jimin would never-
"Minseo!" Jungkook snapped me out of my thoughts. "Are you gonna sit?" He tapped his lap, but I sat down next to him instead, remembering what the stalker said. He gave me a questioning look, but I told him I didn't want to hurt him.

"I hope you don't mind," Jungkook began. "But after work Mingyu is coming round to drop off some evidence for the case."
"No that's fine," I smiled. "I'm more annoyed at the fact that you're working when you're supposed to be resting."
"Ugh, I'd only get bored if I was just sat here all day." He smiled at me, and I smiled back.

I want to protect him. No, I will protect him. It's my turn to step up and take one for the team, no matter how hard it'll be, because I love him.

A few hours went by and it was now 5:15pm, and I heard a knock on the door.
"That'll be Mingyu." Jungkook mentioned as I stood up and wandered over to the door, opening it.
"Hi," I smiled sweetly.
"Hi." Mingyu replied. "Is Jungkook in?"
"Yeah," I told him. "Come in."

Mingyu followed me inside, sighing when he saw Jungkook sprawled across my sofa.
"Wow, you are a mess." He smiled.
"Nice to see you too." Jungkook said sarcastically, and me and Mingyu sat in he armchairs opposite he sofa.

"Did you bring the evidence?" He asked, and Mingyu nodded, pulling a plastic bag out of his larger bag. The plastic bag had a phone in it, and he also pulled out a memory stick.
"The phone is Yugyeom's," Mingyu told him. "And the memory stick is the CCTV footage between 10:45pm and 12:45am on the night of the 26th. I thought you'd want it."
"Thanks." He replied, sitting up and grabbing his laptop. He then began to download all the evidence into his laptop; I'm surprised that his small laptop has all that storage.

"How are things at the station?" Jungkook asked.
"Not too good." Mingyu sighed. "Ever since the incident the case has pretty much come to a halt. The witness that Chief Minho went to see only said they saw a strange looking man dressed in all black with his face covered. He looked about 1.75 metres tall, and that's about it."
"I see," He mumbled in reply.
"So no more people have died?" I asked, and Mingyu shook his head.

I looked away, crossing my right leg over my left. My gaze fell upon the window, and then to a CCTV camera on a lamp post. Of course, it was pointing through the window, into my house. Wasn't that the CCTV camera Jimin pointed to?

Then I remembered what Jimin said to me earlier today. 'Remember to stay safe,' 'Where the CCTV cameras can see you.'

Why did he mention CCTV cameras? That was a suspicious thing to say. He's probably just concerned because of everything that's happened. But no one else has died, which means the stalker hasn't got Jimin yet.

Or maybe...

"Done!" Jungkook announced, closing everything down and handing the evidence back to Mingyu. "Thanks, and I'm sorry for the trouble."
"Don't worry about it," Mingyu smiled. "Maybe there's something in there that'll help out wth the case." He stood up, and I did too.
"I'll see what I can find." Jungkook told him, and Mingyu nodded in reply.

"It was nice seeing you two again." Mingyu told me at the door.
"It was nice seeing you too." I replied. "I'm glad you're safe."
"Yeah," Mingyu replied. "Well, I'll see you soon."
"Yeah. See you soon!" I waved Mingyu off as he made his way back, and I closed the door.

"Okay, I'm gonna get to work." Jungkook told me, typing away on his laptop.
"Alright, but your dressing needs changing at 6, and Jin should be coming round soon to deliver our daily meal."

Yes, Jin comes round everyday with a meal for two, because he says he's doing his part since I can't cook and Jungkook's a cripple. He occasionally brings Namjoon too.

10 minutes after the doorbell rang again, and this time I opened it to reveal Jin and Jimin with smiles on their faces. Jimin came today?
"Hi guys!" I smiled, allowing them to walk in the house.
"Hey Minseo!" Jin replied, striding in as Jimin followed, gently brushing past me as he did. Did he do that on purpose?

"So, because it's a Saturday the guys all decided to go out tonight, but I stayed in with Jimin and we cooked your food." Jin explained.
"Oh! Thank you so much!" I smiled at them. "You didn't have to!"
"Are you kidding?" Jin smirked. "You'd all starve without me." At this we all laughed.

Jungkook had joined us in the kitchen at this point, and he looked at the food.
"Hyung, there's a lot of food here." He pointed out.
"Well, that's because we were gonna eat it with you," Jin explained. "Since the rest of the guys have gone out."
"Is that okay with you two?" Jimin added, and we both nodded in reply.

"Hold on- you don't have a dining table!?" Jin exclaimed, and it made me giggle slightly. "We'll have to sit on the floor around your coffee table then." And that's what we did. My coffee table was round, so we all sat in a circle on the floor. Jungkook was on my left, Jimin on my right and Jin opposite me.

After our meal, I checked the time. It was 6pm.
"Oh, Jungkook's dressing needs changing." I pointed out. "Sorry for interrupting, but I'm just gonna get a clean dressing from my room." I stood up and walked off into my bedroom, closing the door behind me, looking for the dressing. Where did I put them?

"Where's your bathroom?" I heard Jimin ask from the living room.
"Go in Minseo's room and it's on the left." Jungkook replied, and I heard some movement, then the door opened, revealing Jimin. He closed the door and walked over.
"You alright?" He asked.
"Yeah, I just can't find the dress-" he cut me off.

With his lips. Holy shit. What is he doing!?

I tapped his shoulder repeatedly, trying to get him to stop, but he pushed me down onto my bed before he let me breathe.
"Jimin, stop it." I told him with a straight face. Looking into his eyes, all I could see was lust.
"Come on Minseo," He whispered. "How long has it been since you had sex? Since Jungkook's been able to give you what you really want? A whole week?"
"Get the fuck off me." I replied, dropping the honourifics.

"Just for a minute Minseo." Jimin leant forward and whispered in my ear. "You don't understand how much I'm having to hold myself in around you. It's so hard for me, you don't understand."

"Imagine loving someone so much, being willing to do anything for them, when they don't even love you back."
