Things felt different now like there was tension in the air.
He is the first to admit he doesn't understand what the others feel. It's not his fault that he doesn't give a fuck about Yunha's death. Like yeah, it's fucked up but it's not like he was personally affected. If anything she annoyed the hell out of him for dropping Suzu and telling her off. He's only known her for a few weeks and even then when she stopped talking to Suzu there was obviously no reason for him to have to interact with her. So to put it simply, Jungkook just doesn't care.
There was just no reason for him to be worried or even scared. It's not like Ghostface was going to kill him, and Suzu most likely won't die. He doesn't really care about what happens to the others so yeah, he's not really worried. Right now he's just trying to be here for whatever she needs right now and failing at it.
"Jungkook, I don't want to go out right now," Suzu told him sounding irritated. Jungkook has been begging her to go out for drinks all day and even though she's told him no he hasn't stopped. Lately it feels like he's been more attached to her than usual. He's more clingy and demanding, begging for all her attention no matter the situation.
She appreciates him for being new to her life and wanting to be there for her but she just needs a break. They're not dating but he acts like they are even if he knew she didn't want anything serious.
He's constantly blowing up her phone or coming over any chance he gets. It's not that she hates it but with Taehyung basically doing the same it's like she can't get peace anymore.
Between Jungkook and Taehyung she barely gets a chance to be alone if she's not at school or work. It's like they take turns being with her, making sure she's not alone and it's getting tiring.
"Suzu, you've been holed up in here for days, it's nice to get out and I don't know, spend time with me? I feel like you've been ignoring me lately," Jungkook said reach a hand out to brush through her hair but she moved back.
"Yeah, I don't know if you've noticed but people around me keep getting hurt Jungkook," she told him, "So I'm sorry that it feels like I've been ignoring you but I don't care."
Jungkook couldn't help the way his jaw clenched as he said, "It's just a coincidence."
"Oh my god! You mean to tell me Mino, Namjoon and Yunha We're all just some damn coincidence?" Suzu asked as she stood up, "And all those texts and calls I get are just some coincidence? You're so fucking stupid."
He let out a scoff, standing up to face her, "So you're taking it out on me when I'm trying to be here for you?"
"You're not trying to be here for me, you're only here because you want sex," Suzu mumbled, "If you wanted to be here for me you wouldn't be begging me to go out with you right now that there's a killer on the loo-"

"Jesus Christ, you're not going to get killed! Stop being so damn paranoid," Jungkook groaned, "And I don't just want you for sex, are you kidding me? You can try and push me away all you want but right now I'm one of the ones you need, and no matter what you do, you won't get rid of me."
"I don't need you," Suzu said bitterly even if she didn't fully mean it, "So you can get that idea out of your head and while you're at it feel free to get out too."
He didn't say anything for a moment, eyes darkened as he waited for her to apologize. Neither one pulled their strong gaze away and she'll be honest, she's never seen this serious look on Jungkook's face but she wasn't scared. Maybe she should be.
Her breath hitched as his hand came up to her hair so suddenly she flinched, it went to the back of her neck making her head tilt upward. Her face was so close to his now and he had this look in his eyes that seemed worrying. In the quickest flash of movement a smile spread across his face leaning down to press his lips against hers leaving her confused.
Before she could even attempt to kiss, he was pulling her back by the neck, face gone serious again as he looked down at her. His eyes locked with hers and any warm feeling that little kiss left was wiped away as he said, "Call me when you're done being a bitch."
He left without another word, stalking toward her door and making sure to slam it shut as he left. It's like the last thing she said didn't even make a difference.
She was annoyed and paranoid and scared. She just wanted to be alone but she couldn't get that. No matter what she did or said, she couldn't get rid of them and it made no sense. It's not like Jungkook and Taehyung are well acquainted, as far as she knew, they only met the time Taehyung was with Yunha and she brought Jungkook along.
There's just this itching feeling telling her something wasn't right and like Taehyung would come along as soon as Jungkook was gone.
She's just stressed, okay? Officer Jin called her earlier today and she met with him. He asked too many questions about Taehyung and he seemed suspiciously of him. It made her feel unbelievably guilty to be the one to spend the night with Taehyung whole Yunha was being murdered by Ghostface.
She felt even more guilty when Taehyung showed up at her doorstep holding a bottle of wine.
"Tae, I don't have the energy to-"
"You're not getting rid of me tonight so might as well make the most of it Suzu," he said letting himself in.
"No, I don't want you here. I want to be alone."
"Until the killer is caught I think it's best that you're not alone," Taehyung said making his way into her kitchen for two glasses, "And Officer Kim seems to think the same so..."
Feeling much less energized than earlier she slumped down on her couch. Jungkook tired her out and she didn't have it in her to argue with Taehyung too. The only thing she doesn't feel good about now is being mean to Jungkook and kicking him out while letting Taehyung be here. Maybe she'll do something so he won't be mad at her.
"We shouldn't be together right now," she said as he joined her on the couch with the glass of wine, "Yunha's dead and it's bad enough you were with me when it happened. Jin is already asking questions so I think we should just stop right now."
"Stop what?" Taehyung asked and she tried to ignore the hand he had in her hair, caressing her, "We haven't done anything yet."
"You know what I mean," she said feeling his finger trail across her cheek, "This isn't good."
"Why? Because you know you won't leave me either?" He asked just above a whisper, "If you really cared about Officer Kim's suspicions then you wouldn't be letting me touch you like this."
To prove his point, his nose brushed against hers showing how close he can get before she pushed him away. Her lips parted threatening to speak but nothing came out.
Not with the way he crashed his onto hers. She flinched back in surprise at the kiss, but he held her face in his hands.
Warning bells went off in her head telling her who he was, and how she just kissed Jungkook a while ago too. It just didn't stop her from kissing back.
Taehyung was the most familiar sense of comfort and affection she's had since she moved here. She didn't mean to get pulled back into him, it's just happening and she has no idea how to change that. So, she did what she wanted to in that moment and forgot everything else just to kiss him back.
His body seemed to melt against hers, pressing into her until his full weight was nearly resting on hers. His one free hand came around to her waist, gripping her tightly to keep her from pulling back.
Suzu let her hands come around his neck feeling him drag her up with one hand and for some reason she was following along until she was pulled toward his lap. Their mouths moved against each others in a hungry kiss. He felt like he would suffocate and it was fine as long as she didn't pull away. If they just kept kissing then she won't question what they're doing right now.
His hands sat firmly on her hips keeping her on his lap when she had to break away to catch her breath. Before she could utter out a word, his lips were on her jaw, then her neck, kissing down her throat as he felt her wither above him with a small gasp, "Taeh-"
Their mouths were attached once more cutting off her chance to speak.
Suzu has given up her efforts to stop this. Kissing Taehyung felt like it did back then too and it had her kissing him back with just as much need as she had when she kissed Jungkook.
With the way she sat on his lap, her front pressed against his unintentionally pressing her further down on him, and with his hands on her hips, she wasn't going anywhere. Their heads tilted in opposite directions deepening the kiss further as his tongue swiped along her bottom lip making them part more until her tongue was meeting his.
Taehyung's hands slid down toward her butt and with no hesitation, he placed her right where he wanted her.
It was hard for Suzu to ignore the fact that she was now directly over his groin and with the thin layer of her leggings and his pants, she felt everything. A small gasp left her lips as he pressed her down, a perfect fit against her center and all her emotions came flooding back in.
She kissed him harder, her tongue fighting with his but he didn't put up much resistance to let her take control. All he did was guide her to move over him as she dominated his mouth on top, moaning softly against her lips when she did a small grind of her hips.
His hands began to roam back up catching the fabric of her shirt as he lifted it. Rough hands caressed her smooth back, itching the shirt upward while distracting her with a heavy make out. He was so close to having her shirt over her head, just a little more before he could see more of her. He's missed her too much.
Suzu released a light moan, reaching for his hands and pulling them back making his eyes open. She brought them back down to her waist and even if he wanted to take things further he knew he shouldn't-not if he doesn't want to scare her away again.
He's fine feeling her mouth on his as long as it didn't stop.
