Eunjae tried to stay calm as much as she could, when she heard those words from her brother's mouth. "Don't tell me you did something bad."

"I knew I shouldn't have done it- I'm sorry, noona-" Yoongi stammered, sitting down on the chair. "I let you down-"Eunjae knelt down in front of him, taking his face in hers. She looked at his panic-stricken face, and sighed."What did you do?" She whispered. Yoongi looked at his sister sadly, shaking his head.

"You know."

"I don't, Yoongi." Eunjae said sadly. "Please, tell me you're not the one doing away with those innocent singers, Yoongi-"

"Wait. What? What are you talking about?"He arched his eyebrows at her, making her look back at him just as curiously."What are you talking about?!" She gasped. "What did you do?"

"Noona, I'm a hacker. I don't kill innocent people. But I steal their data when I have to." He looked away. "Is that why they're calling me?"

"Jongup told them about Dad." She said quietly. "And this killer's MO was the same as mum and dad's murder-"Yoongi looked away sadly, finding an overwhelming urge to cry again. He chose to hold himself together, however, as he looked back at his sister."So now our family's going to be interrogated.""Yes." She nodded. "Because they have the same doubts as I do now – this killer is the same as the one who killed Mum and Dad fifteen years ago."Seongnam"Moon Jonghyun?"The black haired male looked at Junhyung with a confused expression. Junhyung arched his eyebrows."Yeah, that's me." He slowly nodded. "And you are-"

"I'm with the police." Junhyung showed his badge, making Jonghyun's eyes widen a little with panic; however, he managed to hide his surprise quite well, as he looked at Junhyung again."Listen, if you want to talk to us about the Gyungsuk smuggling case, I can assure you my family has no hand in it-"

"Jonghyun-ssi... this is about your father."

"My father is very ill, officer." Jonghyun lied effortlessly.

"Jonghyun, I know your father passed away fifteen years ago. I'm one of the detectives investigating the current idol murders." Junhyung said harshly. "Yong Junhyung, professional detective and able lie-detector. So if you're going to start lying, I will fucking know."

"How do you know about my father?" Jonghyun said quietly. "I believe we have a hand in that."Eunjae emerged from behind Junhyung, giving her half-brother a wry smile. Right behind her was Jongup and Yoongi, who both had solemn looks on their faces. "Hey, Eunjae, Jongup, Yoongi." Jonghyun gave them a small smile. "Uh, what's going on?"

"Can we take this inside?" Jongup pleaded. Jonghyun slowly nodded, allowing Junhyung and his siblings to come in.

"Where's Jongshil oppa?" Eunjae asked Jonghyun quietly.

"He's upstairs. Mum's in the kitchen. Be careful, she might lose her temper." Jonghyun said quietly. "Go meet her, I'll bring hyung down."The three siblings nodded, and Jonghyun looked at Junhyung with a slight glare. "I warn you, Junhyung-ssi. My mother is aged, and she is very sensitive. I suggest you take it easy."

"Yeah, kid, I got it." Junhyung rolled his eyes. Jonghyun scoffed, before rushing up the stairs, shouting at his brother to come down.

"Someone's got a bad attitude." Yoongi arched his eyebrows at him.

"Watch it, kid. I could get you out of college. One word and Bob's your uncle." Junhyung smirked. "I know everything about you, 'Suga', everything there is." Yoongi merely glared at Junhyung as he remained silent. Jongup arched his eyebrows as he looked at his sister, before glancing back at Junhyung uneasily. Eunjae, allowing her curiosity to get the better of her, opened her mouth to speak. "I'm getting this creepy stalker vibe here..." Eunjae looked at Junhyung suspiciously.

"Your brother's a hacker under the hacker name 'Suga'." Junhyung shrugged.

"And you know this how?" Jongup asked curiously.

"Cause we worked together on a case a few years ago, before he became a hotshot detective." Yoongi smirked. "Nice to see you still remember me, 'Dragon'."

"Yeah... so don't mess with me, I know all there is to know about you, Min Yoongi. Except for your family details. Which I also know now."

"Pity, I beat you to it three years ago." Yoongi sneered triumphantly. "However, the past is unimportant. It won't do us any good to dwell on it any further."

"Right you are, Yoongi." Junhyung nodded. "Still as snarky as ever."

"Wish I could say the same for you." The younger male scoffed. "You've softened up a bit."

"Guys? Can we move on?" Eunjae looked at them incredulously."Right." Junhyung slowly nodded, breaking eye contact with Yoongi before looking at Jongup. "Jongup, can I meet your mother?"

"Sure, follow me." Jongup nodded and lead him towards the kitchen, with Yoongi and Eunjae not far behind."You might've told me he was on the case, noona." Yoongi whispered, nodding towards Junhyung. "You got me worked up for no reason this morning."

"How was I supposed to know you were a hacker, let alone having worked with Junhyung before?" Eunjae rolled her eyes.

"Oh, right-"Yoongi smiled awkwardly as they walked into the kitchen, both at realisng his mistake and at seeing his father's first wife for the first time in three years. His bitterness towards the Moon family, born after the discovery of his father's first family, had waned considerably over the years. He realised that he was wrong to blame them for something his father had done, especially when Moon Haeri a.k.a Mrs. Moon had taken him and his sister in their care, not even considering them as illegitimate children but looking after him and Eunjae as if they were her own. He was suddenly engulfed by a sudden fear - what if Mrs. Moon didn't want to see him anymore? Yoongi left home three years ago, but not before forcing Mrs. Moon to take him to court to change his surname to 'Min', his mother's maiden name before she married Mr. Moon. His heart, already nervous and pained after the memory from fifteen years ago, now thumped against his chest violently in a bout of nervousness. "Jongup-ah!" Moon Haeri smiled, showing her set of perfect teeth as she did. Jongup gave her a small grin, before pulling her into a hug.
