koala, mashikyu

one last kiss.

"why didn't you guys do the job properly?!" yuta slammed his hand on the table startling mashiho and everyone else outside the office. through gritted teeth yuta glared at the two officers.

"w-we just went to have a break c-cheif." one of the officers mumbled still looking down.

"we could've PREVENTED THIS MURDER IF YOU GUYS JUST STAY THERE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES! HOW FUCKING HARD IS THAT?!" yuta's shouts could be heard outside his office, damn he must be really mad. mashiho stared at the door his eyes reflecting worry.

two hours ago, a citizen smell something rotten in her backyard, she has to check it out she thought it would be probably those dead rats not until she saw a corpse laying there, the blood turned dark and the flies were hovering on top of the corpse, maggots were seen in her mouth, eyes, and the wound.

it always give mashiho's chills seeing the pictures even though he saw countless murder scenes before.

he still couldn't get used to it.

the corpse of course, has the infamous carved signature on its forehead.

koala.

mashiho gripped the cup tightly feeling anger rush to his veins, if koala got caught, he'll show no mercy.

the woman was later identified as 'kim jaeun', 31 y/o, is married and has one daughter.

he remembered the family's cries and screams when they found out that she died.

it was horrible. she has a family and it was ruined by a slice of a knife in her neck. those victims, those lost souls. koala needs to get caught.

"shit!" he gasped out at the hot coffee that got spilled at his shirt, he immediately placed the cup on the table as he tries to make himself feel a little cold. he didnt noticed that he gripped the cup a little too tight making it spill on himself.

he muttered profanities while cleaning himself up, he then saw the two officers left his uncle's office looking like they got fired, well probably is fired considering that he saw them put their badges out of their chests.

poor them.

then later yuta told mashiho to have a day off because he noticed the younger looking like a zombie with dark eyebags and kind of suck off cheeks.

mashiho insist but he has to obey because it's true, he's been tiring himself so that he could solve this case as soon as possible he doesn't want any more innocent lives to be taken away.

his boyfriend immediately arrived as soon as mashiho sent him a text to come pick him up.

the whole card ride was silent, not awkward or uncomfortable. just silence, not until mashiho remembered what happened last night.

he cleared his throat before calling junkyu.

"junkyu?"

"yeah?"

"where have you've been last night?" junkyu looked at him and then at a road, he didn't expect the question but of course, not everything will go as he planned.

"my boss called me because someone accused me of stealing the money. i had to clarify the misunderstandings. why?"

"a m-murder took place last night."

"wait, again?" he expressed in a distressed way, with his widened eyes still staring at the road.

"y-yes. i don't know what will happen to me if you get killed by him." mashiho mumbled while clasping his hands together.
