Raindrops come pelting out of the sky. It's a busy yet somewhat soothing sound as the rain brushes the windows and hit the roof. But it is not enough to calm the anxious minds.

Of course, there is still one person in the Orange Hill resort that is calm and collected. Jungkook is sitting in front of the monitors, observing the reactions of each staff member of Customer 3 Division.

"Jinyoung is next?" Lisa is trying to brush away some of the water vapours that's on her wet garment. She is wearing a blue dress today, similar design to the one Mina was wearing that night.

"No, that's not necessary." Jungkook leans back and rest with hands behind his head, "Their reaction have told me everything I need to know."

Lisa is a little baffled.

He used the earring to force Suga and Mark to admit that they were having sex just so that he can see the reactions of others?

-

A man's hand, holding a dark blue handkerchief appears in front of her.

"Hair." Jungkook says.

"Thank you." Lisa wipes off the water drops that are on her face. Jungkook is starring at her forehead. Her hair, still wet from the rain, is resting on her soft supple skin.

"Don't you feel uncomfortable?" He looks at her.

Lisa wonders why he is suddenly interested in her wet hair. He stands up and walks over to her. He takes the handkerchief.

- Surely he is not going to dry my hair. A thought flashes past her.

He uses his handkerchief to blot up the water drops that hanging at the tip of her fringe. It has a clean cotton smell, as well as a slight warmth that's been transferred from his hand.

And he is looking down at her, with a "can't you even take care of yourself properly?" look on his arrogant face. But his gaze is gentle and warm. The handkerchief is gliding down her face, past her ears, along the cheeks. His slender fingers 'accidentally' touches her skin from time to time.

Lisa's face starts to blush.

The man ......

What is in his mind as he is doing this?

Just giving her a hand because she can't even do such a trivial task properly?

Jungkook walks over to the phone. He picks up the receiver and ask Jisoo's assistant to arrange for a vehicle to send Suga, Mark and Bambam to the resort conference centre. He tells them that the investigation is over. They can relax now.

Five people are standing in the pouring rain, in the dark. They are standing on the grass area between Jinyoung and Song Jihyo / Nayeon's room. This is Jungkook's idea. He will ask a few questions with all of them there. Lisa asked him why they had to stand in the rain. To which, Jungkook replied,"It's harder to hide one's guilty conscience under such circumstances."

Jungkook is holding a big black umbrella. Lisa is leaning towards him as they are sharing the shelter. He looks at Jinyoung : " Your turn." He talks above the white noise of the rain hitting the ground.

Jinyoung answers: "I do not know . I was sleeping."

"Let me explain to you." Jungkook says coldly, "Mina's diary reveals that someone has been using drugs to control her for the past six months. We have sufficient evidence to believe that the person went to her room that night. Why would a young lady run out of the room so late at night, when it's pouring with rain? Unless it is to get away from her killer. And what a coincidence, that one of her earrings is found in the courtyard behind your residence."
