"A date? Seriously?" Jungkook let out a scoff

"WHAT?"

"What?"

"You said something just now." Yoongi spoke

"Did I?" Jungkook pretended to be unaware of the obvious fact.

"Leave it. I just came to say I've prepared the breakfast, so if you are done talking to yourself, you can have it." Yoongi said, pulling the sheets off  Jungkook.

Jungkook just hummed and got up.

——————

"There you are." You noted upon spotting Taehyung.

"Hello" Taehyung greeted.

He was dressed in a casual outfit with a hat and a mask on. Maybe to hide from the public's eye, you thought.

"Have a seat" he signalled you take a seat beside him on the desk, which you did.

"I was wondering...why a children's park?" You voiced out your thoughts, wondering why Taehyung had called you to meet in a children's park.

"Oh, I just thought I'll be least suspected to be here out of all places." He said, scratching his neck.

You laughed a little at his timidity. "I could've came to your farmhouse."

"Ah no, I didn't want to make you come that far just to meet me." He shook his head, taking off the mask to breathe some fresh hair. There was no need to worry as his hat was doing a great job at covering his face a little by forming a shadow.

Even though you had seen him a few times by now, it was still fascinating to you how he looked so good.

"Besides I wanted to come out of my house too." He spoke, drawing you out of your thoughts.

"I hope I didn't make you wait for too long." You gave an awkward smile.

"Not at all." He smiled

Then a comfortable silence settled between you two. Only the laughter of some kids were audible.

"What questions do you have for me?" You asked, breaking the silence.

"Nothing special really. I just wanted to know how's everything going." He said, clearly talking about his father's case

"We met Seokjin. We talked to him about his testimony." You revealed

"And?"

"He... said he saw Black Knight."

"That's what I told you." He sighed. "Do you not have any new information? Any progress?" He then asked

You hesitantly took a breath

"I... not really." You lied to protect Namjoon's secret, for now

But you felt really bad for hiding it from Taehyung. Among everyone, Taehyung was the one who deserved to know this the most and here you were keeping him in the dark.

"Nice try but I can tell that you are lying." He gave you a soft smile

Abort! Mission abort!

"W-What?" You uttered

"Let me remind you, Y/N, I'm an actor and I can tell when people are faking it." He said

"I-

You were left speechless at this point.

"Do you know why I agreed to let you know everything?" He then asked, turning to meet your gaze

"It's because you both were the first one who came to offer help. All those calls I received after the press conference were from the reporters who wanted to get something out of me for their headlines. No one really wanted to help me." He revealed

At his words, the feeling of guilt started to build in your heart.

"I've trusted you with this, Y/N. Please don't disappoint me." He said, his tone sounding serious but a hint of sadness was still hidden in it.

"I won't." You promised. "I really want to help you, trust me. It's just... I need some time."

"For what?" He asked

"This case is not as simple as it seems." You spoke. "It has people's lives at risk and that is not allowing me to be brave enough. I've to be careful."

"What?" Taehyung uttered, confused by your words. "It is simple, Y/N. Black Knight is the culprit." He claimed. His jaw locking while he called his name.

"All I can tell you for now is that he is not the culprit. He's innocent." You decided to let Taehyung know. "He's being framed." You whispered, afraid of anyone else hearing you right now.

Taehyung's eyes blew wide in shock after hearing that. "What are you saying?"

"I just want you to give me some time. I promise to bring the real culprit in front of this world. Just be patient, please." You requested

"I... I'm just hoping you aren't wrong and have solid proof to say this, Y/N." He expressed

You nodded at that, indicating you had reasons to be confident enough to say this.

"Okay then. I'll give you all the time you want. Just don't break your promise." He sighed

"I won't." You smiled

——————––—
Walking on the streets, you were thinking about the conversation you had with Taehyung. You could clearly remember his face, the desperation his eyes held to know who the killer was, the way his expressions told you he wanted justice.

A sudden urge to give him what he wanted had bloomed within you. You were really motivated to reveal the truth now.

Suddenly your phone rang, interrupting your thoughts.

At the display of the name, a smile formed on your face involuntarily

"Hello, Jungkook" you greeted

"Hey"

"How are you feeling now?" You wondered

"Better" he replied

"Hm. I'm glad." You expressed. "Is there a specific reason you called me?"

"There has to be one?" He asked instead

"Huh?"

"Um.. nothing. How was the dat- work, how was your work?"

"Honestly, a little boring as you weren't there." You said, your tone indicating you were genuine.

It really wasn't a lie. Even though it just had been few days since Jungkook became your partner, you had grown used to having him around you.

"Really?" He asked, sounding surprised

"Nah, just joking." You teased

"Of course." He huffed

"I met Taehyung, by the way." You revealed

"Why?"

"He was the one who called me to ask for meeting. Remember when you called me this morning? I was-

"Aah... the date?" He asked, too eager to let you finish your sentence

You laughed at that, unaware of how a smile made it's way on Jungkook's face after hearing your giggles

"You believed that? Really?"

"What do you mean?"

"It wasn't a date, stupid. I was in a hurry and I don't know how that thing slipped from my mouth." You chuckled

"Good"

"Huh?"

"What?"

"You said something just now."

"I was complementing my food." He lied

"I'm glad you are eating well." You said

"Were you worried? For me, I mean.".

You hesitated a little to answer but decided to be genuine.

"I was"

Jungkook smiled at that.

"Didn't want you to blame me for your illness." You joked

"Why would I?" He chuckled

"I mean I'm the one who gives you work so...." you trailed off

Jungkook broke into a laughter at that

"You have a point" he said

"Excuse me? Are you-

Just then, you saw a lizard crawling on the street. That was all you needed to let out a scream.

"Hey, Y/N? Are you okay? Is everything alright?" Jungkook worried

"I... I'm fine. It was a lizard." You said, breathing heavily

"Shit! You scared me."

"Sorry" you smiled, a little embarrassed.

"I've reached my home. Thanks for keeping me company through the walk. I'll hang up now."

"Okay. Good night."

"Night"

With that, the call ended

Jungkook turned around from his glass wall to head towards his bed, only to see Yoongi glaring at him.

Jungkook sighed. "What do you want?"

"Is that why you wanted a phone?" He asked instead. "To talk to that girl?"

"Look, I'm tired right now, so go and bother someone else." Jungkook yawned

"Tired? Wow! I was the one who did all the chores today and you are the one tired here?"

"I was tolerating your annoying ass all day. It's tiring, you know?" Jungkook teased, plopping himself on the bed.

"That's what I get for feeding you everyday?"

"Just tell me why you came here and go."

Yoongi decided to let go of the childish argument as the reason why he came here was more important.

"I know I told you to take a break for a while but...." he trailed off

"What is it?" Jungkook sat up, sensing it was something important.
.
.
.
.
.
And here he was, hiding in an alley, keeping an eye on the main street.

Yesterday Yoongi had informed him that one of the most wanted criminal of the nation who had disappeared an year ago was back in town and was going to meet one of his old partner tonight.

"Yoongi" Jungkook called, pressing a button on his earpiece

"He should be here soon." Yoongi said form the other side

After a moment of silence, Yoongi spoke

"Jungkook, Y/N is calling you."

Jungkook thought about it for a while and then replied, "Ignore it"

"Why? Are you afraid she'll talk about something that's a secret between you both." Yoongi teased. "You know there's nothing I'm unaware of, right? Did you forget that I have a spy of mine there in BBC News."

Oh right

Jungkook almost forgot about the spy.

"She's calling again." Yoongi said, taking a look at Jungkook's phone ringing on his table

"Connect the call." Jungkook ordered.

And so Yoongi did

"Hey" Jungkook heard your voice in his earpiece.

"Hello Y/N" Jungkook spoke, trying to sound sleepy

"Were you sleeping? Did I wake you up?" You asked.

"It's almost midnight. Of course I was." Jungkook replied with his gaze still fixated on the bus stop on the street.

He should be here soon, he thought

"I'm sorry I woke you up." You apologized. Now it made sense to you why he didn't pick up the call earlier.

"It's okay." Jungkook said and Yoongi internally scoffed at that

"ItS OkAy" he mocked quietly

"Is it something important?" Jungkook asked

"Ah that... I actually wanted to say that... I mean I wanted you to...  Only if you are okay with it though..." you tried to speak what was on your mind

Jungkook was about to tell you to hurry when he saw a bus arrive at the bus stop, voice of tires screeching audible to his ears.

Wait...

Jungkook was standing too far from the bus stop for him to be able to hear the sound.

Then how did he....

And then it clicked

"So I was saying-

"Y/N where are you right now?" He asked, cutting you off

"Huh? Why?" You asked instead

"Y/N answer the question. Where are you?" Jungkook asked again, sounding worried

"At the bus stop near my house. Why?"

"Shit" Yoongi cussed

"Fuck" Jungkook cussed too

From Jungkook's position, you weren't visible to him, making him believe there wasn't anyone at the bus stop and the fact that it was almost midnight had made him think there was no need to check either.

"Jungkook, what happened?"

"Y/N, I want you to leave that place right now." Jungkook said, his tone was giving away he was serious

"Why?" You wanted to know

The bus in front of you drove off

"Y/N, please don't ask questions and go to your home."

"But why?"

'Because one of the most wanted criminal who was known for kidnapping women was going to be there in a while.' Jungkook wanted to say but bit on his tongue to silence himself

"Jungkook?"

"I'm coming to meet you at your house, that's why. Now please hurry. It's urgent." He said, sounding desperate

Jungkook wanted nothing more than for you to be away from that kidnapper right now. His heart was pounding fast in his chest just by the thought of what could happen if you didn't leave.

"O-Okay. I will wait for you at my house." You said, sounding confused.

Jungkook hummed at that. "Now go"

You got up form the desk and headed towards your house after ending the call.

Jungkook saw your figure walk away from the bus stop. He released a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"Jungkook, they are near."

After hearing Yoongi speak, Jungkook quickly straightened his posture.

Soon, a man came walking towards the bus stop.

The kidnapper

He stood there for a while, waiting for someone to show up and after a few minutes, another man arrived

Both were talking with each other freely, without any fear as there weren't any cameras here.

Jungkook pulled his hood over his face. Hanging his head low, he walked towards the man and purposely walked into the wanted criminal from behind.

A sound of something dropping down was heard.

"Sorry" Jungkook uttered

"Watch where you're going." The kidnapper grit his teeth at him and looked down to see what had dropped down.

There it was.

The Black Star

Kidnapper's eyes grew large in realization but before he could proceed anything, a knee came in contact with his face, hitting him straight in his nose.

He groaned in pain and lifted his head up only to feel a kick in his back, making him stumble into the other man.

The kidnapper fell on the ground but the other man quickly stopped himself from falling and pulled out a knife from his pocket to attack Black Knight.

Grabbing the knife tightly, he hunched forward in his direction but Black Knight was quick to dodge him and kick his hand, making the man drop the knife.

He grabbed the back of his head and pushed him forward. The man hit his face straight in the pole.

The sound of metal clanking echoed, making Black Knight hiss

"Ow. That must have hurt really bad." He commented, watching the man fall down unconcious

In the middle of this chaos, he didn't notice when the other man, the kidnapper, got up and picked up the knife form the ground.

Jungkook turned around at the sound of someone running forward in his direction.

He almost dodged him but the kidnapper succeeded in making a cut on his wrist.

"You fucker" Jungkook cussed and kicked the man straight in his stomach making him fall on the ground once again.

Walking towards him, Black Knight kicked him straight in the shins, making the man scream in pain.

He grabbed a fistful of his hair and slammed his head on the ground.

And that was enough for the kidnapper to pass out too.

"Mission accomplished" Jungkook announced in the earpiece

"Cops will be there soon." Yoongi informed. "Are you okay?" He then worried

"Don't worry. I'm fine." Jungkook assured

"That's a relief. Now, come back home."

"I have to go and see Y/N" Jungkook reminded Yoongi

"You don't have to-

"She must be waiting." Jungkook guessed. "Go to bed already. I'll be a little late."

With that Jungkook disconnected and walked away.
