Partner

She was sitting on the metal bed with the empty juice can in her hands. 

It was almost squashed because each time she had a flashback of what happened a few hours ago, her nails would dig inside the cylinder can.

The young girl decided to get outside, so she got up from the flimsy bed, grabbed her bag, and went out of the room. She headed straight to the main exit. 

All she wanted was to go home, but her wish instantly burned to nothing as she saw police officers standing by the main exit.

Some of them were talking with each other, while others were busy talking to her two friends, taking notes of what they said.

She remembered what her boss said.

'So my house is filled with cops now...' 

Kurai went over to her friends who were busy talking to two police officers. 

As soon as her two friends saw her, they called out her name and she was showered with questions.

"Kurai are you alright??"

"Oh my god did you get some sleep??"

"How are you feeling?"

"Are you hungry?"

"How's your head?"

"Wanna go drink something?"

"Are you feeling better?"

"Do you want to sleep a bit mo- "

"Guys, I'm fine!!"

She stopped her friends from shooting more questions.

"I thought the police was supposed to investigate me," she joked, but her friends were more concerned than she thought.

"Oh my gosh Kurai, we're so sorry!!"

"We didn't mean to!"

"We know you need some peace."

"Are you coping alright?"

"You know you can pour it out anytime you wa- "

"Miss Makinohara?" 

This time her two friends were cut off by a man's velvet voice.

It felt very familiar to her...

When she turned around to see the owner of the voice, she saw a young man in a black suit, big doe eyes, a sharp jawline, a small mole under his lower lip, and straight dark brown hair. He had a muscular body, but his babyface reminded her of a cute bunny.

"Oh, Mr. Jeon!" said Sayoko from behind Kurai with a surprised tone.

The young man greeted them and stood in front of Kurai, lowering his neck to look at her eyes.

"Miss Makinohara? Remember me, Jeon Jungkook?"

Kurai gave him a tired, forced smile, "of course I do, sir."

She really didn't want to "socialize" with anyone. She may have been younger that him, but that wouldn't stop her from being rude. 

Jungkook cleared his throat and said, "would you mind coming to the police station? We need you to answer some of our questions, Miss Makinohara."

"I don't have another choice, do I?" she just wanted the cursed night to end.

Jungkook grinned, causing his bunny teeth to show, "I'm afraid you're right."

Kurai sighed and after looking at the clean, white mosaic floor for a few seconds, she nodded her head.

"Thank you for cooperating with us," said Jungkook with a sympathetic smile.

Kurai turned back to face her worried friends. "You guys... don't have to come if you don't want to."

"WHAT?? THERE'S NO WAY!!"

"DID YOU ACTUALLY THINK WE'D LET YOU GO ON YOUR OWN?!"

"ARE YOU KIDDING?? OF COURSE WE'RE COMING!!"

"THERE'S NO WAY WE'D LEAVE YOU ALONE LIKE THIS!"

"I suppose Miss Komori and Mr. Matsuzaka are coming too." Jungkook's tone was rather cheery.

Kurai took a deep breath while covering her head with the hood of her hoodie, then she turned around.

"I guess they are..."

It was more like a whisper but Jungkook heard it and a mischievous smirk rose on his lips.

They started following the young man to the main exit of the hospital as he was leading the way.

'So Jeon is the partner boss mentioned. He doesn't look like a police officer though, way too cute for that.'

She tilted her head while staring at the young man's built shoulders. 

'But he's the one working on my grandmother's case. So if I want this thing over soon, I'd better behave.'

Oh and btw, the pronunciation of Kurai's name is something like Koo-rai or Ko-rai. And it's a Japanese name meaning "darkness". I just remembered to mention it since I was pretty confused the first time I saw it myself lmao
