I glared at him. Am I okay? Is he even serious? Okay ba talaga ako sa lagay na 'to?

But instead to be intimidated by the look I'm giving him, nakuha niya pang ngumiti. You know, the rectangular smile he usually does? Then he leaned on me and gently kissed my forehead, "Mianhae, noona. I just got excited knowing that I'll spend some hours with you, even if all we have to do is to talk about Jungkook."

I nodded and averted my gaze outside the window. Ang awkward eh. Kaya ayokong nagseseryoso si Taehyung.

When we arrived at the building, dumiretso na kami agad sa office. Para siyang batang patalon talon kahit saan. Is he even 20 years old?

"Kim Taehyung and stage name, V. One of the group's vocals." I dictated.

He nodded continuously, "Yes, I'm one of the vocals but you can also consider me as the visual." Then he leaned his back on the swivel chair, arms crossed and he bit his lower lip.

Seriously? Ugh.

I ignored him and continued to scan the files. "Mr. Kim Taehyung, where were you when the crime happened?"

He pouted, which doesn't suit him, and put his point finger under his chin as if he's reminiscing "the day". "I was at a restaurant near the dorm, eating."

"Who's with you?"

"No one. Nagdisguise lang ako. Gutom ako eh, hehe." He said as he rubbed his tummy. "Pati ngayon, nagugutom 'rin ako." Dagdag niya at pinalobo pa ang pisngi niya.

He's doing aegyo, kanina pa. Well, pasensya siya kasi hindi 'yan magwowork sa'kin.

"May makakapagpatunay pa ng alibi mo?"

"Pwede niyong tanungin yung may-ari ng restaurant na kinainan ko. Nakita niya akong pumasok no'n kasi at kinamusta niya pa ako."

I nodded and noted that I need to go to that restaurant later.

"Okay Mr. Kim, may pinaghihinalaan ka ba na posibleng gumawa nung krimen? Anyone, may it be sa grupo niyo or not?"

Ang kaninang makulit na Taehyung ay biglang sumeryoso. "Yes. Si Yoongi hyung."

Kumunot ang noo ko. Si Suga? Nanaman? "Why Suga?"

"Ilang beses ko na siyang nahuhuling nag-aabang sa labas ng kwarto ni Jungkook. He's always there, tapos parang lagi siyang nag-aattempt pumasok. Kapag tinanong ko naman siya kung anong ginagawa niya 'dun, umiiling lang siya tapos aalis na agad. At isa pa, both of them fought. 'Di namin alam ang dahilan pero sigurado kaming hindi basta basta ang rason kung bakit sila nag-away."

Napasandal nalang ako sa upuan. Dalawang members na ang nagsasabi na baka si Yoongi nga ang pumatay sa kapatid ko. But I would not depend on their words. I need a clear evidence. Tutal, siguradong matatagalan pa itong kasong 'to. Marami pa ang pwedeng mangyari. Marami pa kaming pwedeng matuklasan.

Napatigil ako sa pag-iisip nang hawakan ni Taehyung ang kamay ko. "Don't worry noona. If ever you need someone, you could call me." I smiled slightly and slowly removed my hand from his.

I stood up and arranged the folders. "Thank you for coming with me and answering my questions, Mr. Kim Taehyung." I extended my hand para sana makipagkamay sa kanya pero hindi naman siya tumayo para tanggapin ito.

"Taehyung?"

Ibababa ko na sana ang kamay ko nang bigla siyang tumayo at hinalikan ito. I immediately grabbed my hand and glared at him. "What do you think are you doing?"

A smirk formed on his lips. He leaned over the table between us to get closer to me and whispered, "Kanina ko pa pinipigilan ang sarili ko, Angela."
