《Whatever It Takes | Rosekook ✓》38: sense

Roseanne exited the policestation, a pain in her chest. Was Mark right? Was she really that bad of a person? She tried calling him a few times but he didn't answer her calls. She texted him, but he didn't respond.
Kim Yerim was waiting for her outside the police station. She stood up from the steps to face Roseanne. "You took longer than I thought. Is everything okay?" Yerim asked. "Rosie?"
"I'm fine," Roseanne whispered. "I'm sorry for making you wait."
"It's no problem. When you called and said you needed a ride, I figured I might have to wait a while for you to be done. I've been making a list of beauty video ideas I could do. Are you sure everything's okay? You look pale and I don't think it's your foundation."
"No, I'm fine. My friend and I just had an argument."
"That Mark guy?"
"Yeah."
"I saw him leave. He was crying. I was going to try and stop him but he didn't look like a brick wall could get in his way much less me."
"It's fine," Roseanne said. "Our friend was killed."
"Oh no," Yerim gasped. "I'm so sorry to hear that."
"Yeah. He had a huge crush on her too so it hit him really hard."
"Oh the poor guy." Yerim sighed. "Last year, Sehun and I lost our dog. He got hit by a car after getting loose. I was devastated."
Roseanne stared at her blankly. "I'm sorry to hear that."
"Thank you," Yerim pointed to the parking area. "Shall we head back to the mansion? Did you want to go somewhere to get something to eat? I always fell better when I eat something delicious. What if we make a YouTube video? I just had a great idea."
"A YouTube video?"
"Yeah, maybe we could collab with the Trinity-"
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"Why not? After our last video, everyone's saying how great you are. They're even shipping you with Jungkook."
"They're shipping me with Jungkook?" Roseanne repeated. "I didn't know that."
"C'mon please," Yerim said.
"I don't know."
"I thought we were friends," Yerim said. "Is this how you treat your friends? We could do the video tonight. We could do a séance. Have a medium talk to Tzuyu's ghost."

Mark's words echoed in her mind. Roseanne didn't want to be a bad friends to anyone.
"Fine," Roseanne said. "Let's do it."
"Maybe we can convince some of Tzuyu's friends to come to. You know, to get as many YouTubers as possible. You can even invite the Trinity. This is going to be so great! Being featured on a trending video always boosts my subscribers."
"This is going to be so bad," Roseanne muttered. She pulled out her phone to text Jungkook.
***
Later that evening, they were gathered at Jungkook's mansion. There were candles lit everywhere.
"Did you pay someone to do this?" Roseanne asked Jungkook. "That was super-fast. You even got a medium fast."
He shrugged. "All thanks to my assistant."
"Assistant?" Roseanne repeated. "I didn't know you had an assistant."
"Well, when you're as big as me, you'll need someone to help you handle your schedules, planning events and managing communications."
"All this for a video?"
"I wanted the video to look as high-end as possible."
"Good idea," Roseanne said softly.
"Are you okay?" Jungkook asked.
Roseanne shook her head. "Honestly, I'm not sure what I'm doing anymore. I started these videos to help find Tzuyu's killer but somehow I've lost Mark and Yuju along the way."
"That happens."
Roseanne noticed Jungkook looking at Jaehyun.
"Are you okay?" Roseanne asked. Her eyes followed Jungkook's eyes to Jaehyun who was talking to Eunwoo. "Everything okay?"
He shrugged. "Yeah, I'm fine. Everything's fine."
"You keep staring at Jaehyun like something's not right."
"No, I just-"
"Jungkook!" A woman wearing a white shirt and floral skirt ran towards to stand between the two. "I have incredible but scary news!"
"What is it, Jennie?"
"This place is haunted!" Jennie jumped in excitement. "I just love it here."
"Yes, I know this place is haunted," Jungkook said. "I told you this over the phone."
Jennie turned to Roseanne. "I don't think I properly introduced myself. My name is Jennie. I'm the medium for the séance we're about to do."
Roseanne smiled. "I'm Roseanne-"
"I know who you are. I love your videos. I'm a big fan."
Roseanne's cheeks flushed. "I'm glad you're enjoying them."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you," Jennie turned back to Jungkook. She wriggled her eyebrows. "I had a premonition that we're going to uncover Tzuyu's killer tonight."

"What?" Roseanne stole a glance at Jungkook before turning back to Jennie. "Are you sure?"
"I'm positive. In fact, my senses are telling me the killer is with us in this very room."
***
"Just be sure to talk to everyone once in a while so you can get on camera," Yerim instructed. She was sitting in front of a mirror, doing her makeup. Jungkook had let her use a guest room to get ready in. "When the video's ready to be uploaded, you post a message on all your social media platforms. I still can't believe they're not letting us film and we had to leave out phones behind."
"I can't believe you're using me for this," Sehun sighed. "Isn't it easier if I just tell my followers to follow you?"
Yerim made a clucking sound in the back of her throat. "You're my boyfriend. You can do this much for me. Besides, I told you I didn't want to be so obvious about it. Besides, how often would we get the opportunity to film in Jeon Jungkook's mansion?"
"Babe, I'd give you my life and you know that...but this is so embarrassing. I'm part of the gaming community, not this ghost-horror stuff. What will my fans think of me? Also, didn't we agree you weren't going to make any more videos about Tzuyu? You promised me you were going to talk to your therapist."
"I will."
"Wait, you didn't?"
Yerim looked away. "Well, I scheduled an appointment."
"Babe, that's not what you told me earlier. Why are you lying?"
"I'm not lying."
"Yes, you are," Sehun ran a hand through his hair. "What do I have to go for you to realize you're better than this? I've told you so many times that I've seen people ruin their lives because they want to become YouTube famous."
"Sehun, I don't want to be YouTube famous. I want to be famous-period."
Sehun rolled his eyes. "You care more about your YouTube channel than me, don't you?"
"No, of course not," Yerim glanced at her watch. "It's almost time for the filming to start. Should we go?"
Sehun exhaled deeply, closed his eyes, and looked upward. "Babe, I don't think I can do this. I can't support you obsessing over Tzuyu."
The door opened and Jungkook stuck his head in. "Hey, man. I still can't believe you showed up for this. Rosie wants to start filming in a few minutes. Everyone needs to head to the dining room."
Yerim jumped forward. "Yes, we'll be right there."
Jungkook smiled and looked Yerim over. "You look great in that dress, Yerim. I just want to thank you for helping Rosie with all these videos. You've been a big help."
Yerim smiled. "Rosie's been great to work with. Just let me know if you need anything in the future. Anything at all," she said.
Jungkook gave a single nod before closing the door to leave Sehun and Yerim alone.
"Anything at all?" Sehun repeated. "Wow. I'm literally standing right here while you're flirting with another guy."
"What?" Yerim asked defensively. "I wasn't flirting with him. What?"
"Nothing. I'm going home. I'll be packing up your stuff."
"What?" Yerim blocked Sehun from exiting. "What are you talking about? Packing my stuff?"
"I think we need a break, Yerim. I need to know I'm number one in your life," he moved past her and opened the door to leave.
"What about the video? Jungkook is expecting you. What am I supposed to say?"
"I honestly don't care."
Yerim watched him leave and stomped her foot while giving an angry shout in frustration. "How dare he embarrass me? Why doesn't anyone want to see me succeed?"
***
Officer Chanyeol knocked on Jisub's door for the third time. "I know you're in there, Jisub. So Jisub? Open up or we'll come in by force."
Jisub listened quietly as the officer continued to knock on his door. Did they find out?
"We got you on camera! You killed that girl. You don't know this but we were able to get a warrant on your bank records. She sent you quite a bit of money. We don't know why but we'll figure it out. Even now, officers are still investigating you at the precinct."
Jisub grabbed a gun and ran towards a window at the back of his apartment.
The door was pushed open.
"He's running to the back!"
Jisub pushed through the window and turned quickly. He lifted his gun and shot off a few rounds.
"He's armed!"
People began screaming and running away from Jisub and the police. He needed to get across the street.
Horns began honking and Jisub cursed as he tried firing another gunshot at the police.

Breaking Horizons: Book 1: Snared Origins
Many want to learn things from a story, while others only want fast-paced wonders. We are human and we like to dream, we are alive and we want to feel. Don’t wander outside before knowing the inside. Even if this is slow, it gives you the reader, things to behold. This is a story but also knowledge. It isn’t fast or entertaining but makes you wonder. Everything starts from something unknown, we all want to know the untold. However, can you persevere if something starts being boring? Shouldn’t entertainment start from something unexciting? Open a door to what you might know or not. Learn to dream in my unhealthy abode. Start from the garbage since that’s the place where I belong. Welcome to Raccoon’s abode. Breaking Horizons: Breaching the Fourth Dimension. A slow story that will take you on a ride towards the unknown. PS: Will make things clear here. The actual main character is a human, the raccoon is a pet for the novel. So it isn't a raccoon Isekai or reincarnation as a raccoon. I still haven't added it to the story, as I am currently doing the intro. A long intro! So the start might feel off when you read it. The story will include many genres but starts with psychological stuff and low fantasy. The whole story is an enormous puzzle, but it starts with a tiresome beginning for many. There is a reason for that... If you want to know more about this story check my discord: https://discord.gg/rZs6mem You can ask what you want to know there. Or join a bigger and cooler server where many authors hang out: https://discord.gg/2hbvq8B (Its dungeon engineer and many cool stories' server) This is my own story, so its for me only. I will not have a schedule. I left it on hiatus for a while, can't write two stories, too busy.

Criminal Lord
Terry Isenburg, the greatest assassin who killed thousands of powerful officials and even led an army of people to reform the world had finally killed his final target after many years of suffering and effort. Changing the world was in sight. Until he was betrayed... Although, even in the abyss of death, two choices were placed before Terry. Enter the Trial or Hell? Watch how the man who nearly took over the world now attempts to take over a world of sword, monster, magic, and one hella strong tarantula... I made this story because I always wanted a dark fantasy isekai with a hella fine backstory rather than an idiot being run over as well as having sustainable, epic scenes with a badass main character. All of which I believe my story has. (Although I'm bad at managing levels and experience and I have little imagery since I hate imagery) One other thing, the first volume may be kinda boring/repetitive but I can guarantee loads of badass action in volume 2 so please stick around. (I would also appreciate the views) If you like or dislike the story, please write a comment or review about this story to help me improve, but please don't hate on the story without explaining why. I also hope that you readers share the story to give me more support. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the story. [The cover is something I made poorly but it represents something in chapter 9-10]
