Author's POV-

A handsome young detective headed to Min Yoongi's house, early in the morning, slightly nervous. He knocked at the door, and to his surprise, the door opened, in just a minute.

Usually he had to wait for at least 5 minutes before giving up.

"Good morning, Seokjin."

Seokjin was utterly shocked. MIN YOONGI, WISHING ME, A GOOD MORNING!!

"Oh don't stare wide eyed at me... I decided to be myself today, instead of the creepy guy.", He laughed and opened the door wide, to let Seokjin in.

Seokjin was totally puzzled. What happened to Yoongi? Before, whenever I knocked at his door, he would say, "Seokjin, blabber whatever you want to, quickly. I don't have much time."

He walked into the house, thoughtfully, and Yoongi said, "Sit comfortably on the sofa. Do you want water, or coffee, probably?"

Seokjin froze. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK HAPPENED TO THIS GUY?!

Wait. THIS IS A TRAP. I'M TOTALLY SURE.

I have to be aware of what I'm doing or speaking.

"Do you want to keep standing there?", Yoongi asked, and Seokjin slowly walked towards the sofa, and sat down, his thoughts racing.

And his heart racing too.

"So... What brings you here?"

Seokjin took a deep breath and began, "I wanted to um... request you to take over this case. The Graveyard Mystery. I need to go, soon. I have another case I got, just today morning."

"You're not the murderer I hope? You're leaving this village and all...", Yoongi said, with a playful smirk.

Seokjin slowly began sweating. This guy is scaring me by the minute. WHY'S HE FRIENDLY, UNLIKE HIM?!

"Oh god, don't panic. I know that the murderer is not you. It's Yeontan."

"Wait. WHAT?!", Seokjin exclaimed, shocked. "How did you figure that out?!"

"Simple. It looks like a puzzle when Jungkook blames it on Jimin, Jimin blames it on Namjoon and Taehyung, and Namjoon blames it on Taehyung, Taehyung blames it on Jungkook. It's like, you just want to run away from the case!"

"See. Whatever people see or hear, is what they believe. But...", Yoongi began, and explained what could have actually happened, just like how he did to Yeona. He also revealed about the spirits, and the ritual to save the ARMY headstone.

Seokjin was completely baffled at all the information which was pouring into his head. WHAT IS THIS, A SUPER CHAOTIC FANFIC?

"And, Yeona met her parents in the end...", Yoongi finished.

"That's an emotional story...", Seokjin said, and thought for a while.

"Wait a minute. I have to dip into the liquid of depression?!!", Seokjin exclaimed, shocked.

"No. WE have to dip into the ARMYs' tears.", Yoongi corrected him.

"AH NOW I GOT TO KNOW WHY YOU'RE SO SWEET EARLY IN THE MORNING!", Seokjin exclaimed, getting up.

"Huh? Why are you relating that with this? I'm not the sugar coating type. Just tell me that you don't want to do this. We'll not do it. We'll just die here. Also, you can't EVEN get out of this village, now how will you solve that case?"

Seokjin glared at Yoongi. "Now, is it COMPULSORY that me, Kim Seokjin, the handsome detective, should do the ritual with six others?!"

"Yes. We are destined to.", Yoongi said, getting up.

Seokjin pulled out his phone from his pocket and quickly tapped on it for a minute and showed it to Yoongi, annoyed.

"THIS is my new case. I'm NOT trying to escape this village. I'm trying to EARN.", He exclaimed, while Yoongi looked wide eyed at the phone, shocked.

Seokjin continued, "This weirdo has been missing for a few days. I enquired with the other detective friends, EARLY IN THE MORNING and heard that he's that type of guy who does one-night strands. Now I've gotta seriously find a disgusting guy, but for a good price! 10,000 dollars!!"

Yoongi began trembling, and fell back on the sofa in shock. Seokjin got worried and asked, "What happened?!"

Yoongi mumbled, "It's him."

"Who?"

"He's..."

-

"Now why did Yoongi call us?"

"I heard that Seokjin is handing the case to Yoongi..."

"What?! If Yoongi's the murderer, we'll never be able to solve this case. He'll just trap someone, probably Taehyung, and escape."

"He's not that type. He's a person who values life."

"Jung Hoseok, can you stop looking at your friend as a friend for a moment and look at him as a detective?"

"I agree with Hoseok, to be honest... He seems like the killing type, but I've never seen him killing anyone, or threatening to kill anyone. Till now, I've just seen him play with our fears. He doesn't seem like the type, guys..."

"Whatever. Anyways, Yoongi is a weird guy."

"And what I think is-"

The loud, chaotic chatter of the 6 villagers stopped when three people walked in, silently.

"Here they come.", One of the villagers muttered.

Two of them, that is Yeona and Seokjin sat down, while Yoongi just stood, observing each villager for a moment, thoughtfully.

"So. Let's begin our discussion. Seokjin has informed me everything, and now let's not go investigate other's houses like a small kid's birthday party's treasure hunt. We should discuss among ourselves, reveal our recent incidents and involve our past too.", Yoongi began, walking around the table as he spoke.

As he reached one end, where an empty chair waited for him, he sat down, his legs crossed, authoritatively. He did this, so that the villagers would be serious. They sometimes are a little more silly than humor lets them be.

"So. Let's start with you, Kim Yeontan.", He began, his orbs piercing through that of Yeontan's.

"What were you doing, early in the morning, when the headstone broke?"

"I didn't even know that it broke. I was sleeping..."

"Okay. When did you wake up?"

"Uhh I don't remember the time, probably 7..."

"Hoseok talked about meeting you early in the morning... What did you guys talk about?"

"Well, Hoseok was surprised because he didn't know when I arrived. I informed him that I left a day before Mr. and Mrs. Lee were killed, and came back after the funeral. And we talked for a minute until Hoseok exclaimed that he had to go to see the headstone. That's all."

"Okay. Yeona told me that you cried and exclaimed that no one worried about you. Why, are you going through depression? Do you need help? Aren't we always there for you?"

Yeontan said, "Uh don't worry, I'm alright. I just was angry that morning."

"But you met Hoseok, a few minutes ago that time, right?"

Yeontan didn't reply. The others noticed this, and began murmuring among themselves.

"Well, it's okay. Anyways Yeontan, are you and Taehyung blood related?"

"Um... No, we're not. He adopted me."

"Oh, then you don't know your parents?"

"I know them. My mom passed away when I was 12."

"Oh I'm really sorry to hear that. What about your dad?"

Yeontan's thoughts drift away from the world, going back to his past, his memories haunting him.

"Yeontan, your dad. Your father."

"Yeontan?"

"Yeontan!"

"Kim Yeontan!!"

Yeontan opened his eyes, which were red and glared at Yoongi, making him shocked for a moment.

"Yeontan...?", Yeona called, slightly worried.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!! You think you're a genius are you?! Well even if you are, you're using your brain in a DIS.GUST.ING WAY!!", Yeontan exclaimed, getting up. "What? You think you can escape, huh? You're a murderer. I know it. I know that. You've killed Mr. and Mrs. Lee. You've broken the headstone. I KNOW IT!! YOU CAN'T HIDE!! And I can't investigate on things which waste my time!", Yeontan exclaimed and walked away from the room.

The others just stood baffled by the whole incident which happened before their eyes.

"I have never seen Yeontan like that and I'm scared!"

"He was always so sweet, what happened to him?"

"Wait, what if Yeontan is the criminal and he's just blaming it on Yoongi and walking away?!"

"Hoseok, you always support Yoongi so just-"

"Guys SHUT UP. I have some information to reveal to you all.", Yoongi said, bending closer to the table.

The others bent forward, like Yoongi did, as if by some magnetic force.

"Firstly. Let's talk about the culprit. Of the murder and destruction."

"Destruction... Are you sure it's not Namjoon?", Someone muttered, and both Namjoon and Yoongi glared at everyone, unsure about who it was.

Yoongi began, "It's Yeontan. He has a dissociative identity disorder, that is, which you all commonly know as 'multiple personality disorder'... Well, most of you do know that his past was painful, but still he smiled brightly, masking his sorrow-"

Taehyung interrupted, "I'll tell you some incidents about his past, how much ever I've been informed, noticed or learnt, because I'm sure it'd help solve this case."

"Okay.", Yoongi said, and Taehyung took a deep breath.

"Not much of a long story, but surely a painful one... When Yeontan was 7 years old,..."
