The 3AM Jewel Heist
Second Detective Banana Story
One October,the famous breakfast pop band, Breakpink, (Inspired by Blackpink, read Idli trilogy first) had a Halloween concert at 3AM. But news came from Messenger Lychee and Maiden Chikoo that the Fruitnight Jewel was stolen! The Detective Squad, consisting of Banana (the OG), Idli (the former pensive vocalist of
Breakpink, now turning towards pop punk solos and rapper/vocalist style in the group, also moonlighting as a Detective) and Chilli Sass (the leather jacket wearing, taekwondo action girl, who is a power rookie sleuth!)came to the rescue!
There were three clues- a purple peel, a fig scent , and a plume of magical smoke.
The detectives got investigating!! They questioned Plum, she was innocent. Lemon had an alibi. It was confirmed that Lemon and Lime were protesting against Plum. Blueberry was framed erroneously, they figured. Soon, things fell in place and they found who the culprit was. The culprit was none other than Fig!
It was decided to grant Joseon mercy to Fig(can you believe that he was forgiven?!). Fruitseye and Breakpink (finally) performed “Other Cheek”- their latest single at the party. Everyone, including Fig was invited, and they had a ball of a time!
The End.
