the only thing that kept the room lit was the small lamp that sat on the corner of the table, and the light that emitted from the computer screen. sunghoon would not let his eyes or his attention be torn away from the computer screen until he had achieved his goal.


he drank some coffee and some energy drinks to keep himself wide awake, although he could not resist little naps here and there. however, he was not distracted from his original goal, so he kept his fingers clicking away at the keyboard and his hand moving the mouse constantly.


maybe he was having a little trouble finding kyungmin's records, but not that he would admit that. he was supposed to be the genius hacker, and he had to fulfill his reputation, so he decided to just work until he found the answer.


the next morning, ni-ki came into the workplace while tiredly rubbing his eyes and yawning. he was a little surprised to see sunghoon still sitting in the same place in which they left him, at about 11pm last night. it was 10am now, and he was still sitting there, making some final touches on his work.


"you work really hard," ni-ki commented admirably. 


"this is a big case, i needed answers," said sunghoon. he made a final click on his keyboard, and started rejoicing loudly.


conveniently, jay had just walked into the room. he walked over to sunghoon and ni-ki curiously. 


"good morning you two. did you find anything?"


"i found information on jo kyungmin," sunghoon said proudly. ni-ki gave him a well-earned round of applause. 


"well give it to me then," jay urged, sitting down in front of sunghoon.


"well," sunghoon began, beginning his research report excitedly, proud to present his hard work. "i found kyungmin's old facebook account, and looked through his posts. based on his pictures, i looked at all the schools that were in the regions he which he most commonly was at. i looked through each and every website until i found one that had him in it."


"what is iti?" ni-ki asked. 


"i'm getting there, wait. so i went to the website of a school called lander high, a pretty expensive and prestigious high school. turns out he just graduated from there. he was one of the top students, and was in several clubs."


"he must have been popular," jay stated, only to be given a shake of sunghoon's head. 


"unfortunately, no," sunghoon sighed, although he knew it was good news. "poor kyungmin didn't have many friends. in fact, i looked through his photos, and there's only one other person he took photos with."


"who is it??" ni-ki whined impatiently, wanting to know the answer desperately as if he were watching a captivating k-drama. 


"i did some more looking on the school website, and turns out his name is yang jungwon. same age as kyungmin," sunghoon answered the much anticipated question. "he was the star of the taekwondo team, and a surprisingly good singer in the school choir. not many friends either. doesn't have photos with anyone else besides kyungmin."
