Against ALL Odds (MoonSun FF)

Chapter 15

Wheein's POV

As I arrive at Itaewon Club in a cab with Joohyun, I am greeted by Officer Yong Hwa who lifted the Police's caution tape for us, while stopping other reporters and spectators from entering the crime scene. I saw Moonbyul who is attempting to crawl towards a lifeless body on the bed while being apprehended on the floor by a few officers.

I was hanging out with Moonbyul and Joohyun at a Jazz bar in Hannam-Dong by the Han River until I received a call from Officer Yong Hwa about a pink-hair girl being murdered. I'm still mad about Moonbyul for snatching the car keys from Joohyun and drove off without us, but also aware that I'm at fault for trying to stop her since I don't know what she will do in her current state of mind just by hearing the key words 'Pink-hair'.

I analyse the crime scene as I walk towards the bed, "brief me... quietly, I don't want an emotional hamster ruining the crime scene." I said to Officer Yong Hwa who nodded and whispered, "As I've mentioned on the phone earlier, we cannot identify the girl because..." he pointed to the body and I nod understanding the whole situation now.

The girl's face was slashed beyond recognition. He continued his briefing, "Cause of death, marijuana overdose and stabbed in the abdomen six times before her face was slashed."

"What about him?" I pointed towards Jae-Mo who sat back motionless on the sofa with his eyes and mouth still wide opened.

"Cause of death, stabbed nineteen times. The murderer wrote in 19 strokes forming these characters on his shirt: 고마워요 (gomawoyo) Thank you"

"Before you arrive, we've sent hair and blood sample for testing to match the DNA data in our system." Yong Hwa concluded his briefing.

"Have you collected every evidence you need in this room?" I asked the forensic who seems to be packing up, nodding at me. "Then let her go" I said, ordering the officers who was holding Moonbyul down to get off her back which they obeyed.

Moonbyul kneels next to the bed like how she always did after carrying Solar to bed. She carefully reaches out her hand to caress the pink hair while she sobs loudly, punching her own chest as if she is trying to stop the pain.

"Moonbyul-ssi, they are still confirming her identity as we speak. We don't know yet if its her, so don't lose hope just yet." I stroke her back assuring her while I try to ring Seulgi whom I've been trying to contact since I left the bar and still couldn't reach her.

The room is deafened by her painful cries and it hurts me to see her this way, "Moonbyul-ssi..." I called out but she drowns my voice muttering the words, "This is all my fault, I shouldn't have left her. We could've gone home together, then this wouldn't have happened. I'm stupid! Selfish! I should just die!"

"Moonbyul-ssi..." I called out the second time but she's still in that guilty trance. So I decided to gave her some moments to herself walking away from her towards Yong Hwa and Joohyun who had a worried look on her face as she continues to dial Seulgi.

Moonbyul's POV

"Moonbyul-ssi" I hear Wheein calling out to me but I couldn't her hear well. I was chanting my self blame all this time that it drowns out any voices in my surrounding.

"Moonbyul-ssi... Moonbyul... Byul... Byul-ah" I finally got annoyed at Wheein thinking, 'Can't you read the mood? I'm grieving so the least you can do is piss off!'

I snapped when I feel a hand placed on my shoulder calling my name softly, "Byul-ah"

"WHAT?!" I lift my face and yell at Wheein but she tilts her head giving me a confused look and I realise something is strange. If Wheein is over there, who is behind calling my name and touching my shoulder right now.

'Eeeeeeep! Is it Solar's ghost? Well I hope she's pretty... Wait what was I thinking?! Of course she'll be pretty no matter what!'

I felt chills running down my spine as I was afraid to look back, but I eventually turn my back slowly to face the owner of the voice and tears ran down my puffy cheeks, "Oh my god, thank god you still look like a goddess even as a ghost."

Solar's ghost frowned and punched my head surprising me, "Ouch! I didn't know ghost can inflict physical damage to the living..." I said, rubbing my head.

"Because I'm not a ghost? Duh!" She answered rolling her eyes.

My eyes and mouth are wide opened in shock as she continued, "You don't seem to believe me, do you?" I simply nodded like a fool, "Then how about this?" She cups my cheeks, leaning in to close my mouth with her lips, locking in with her tongue that enters my mouth greeting mine and deepening our kiss.

We pulled away after awhile to catch our breath as we both panted. Our faces are still close to each other and I can feel her warm breath as she pants.

"Do you believe me now?" she asks, still catching her breath but her breathing is getting normal now and her hands are still on my cheeks.

"Mmm... I think this is a dream. Maybe we should do it again to be sure." I said but I didn't get what I want and earn me another punch on the head.

Wheein walks over to us, about to question Solar but we're interrupted by Officer Yong Hwa who approach us with a white folder.

"The result is out. The owner of the pink-hair and blood matching in our DNA system is called..." He trails his finger on the folder as he is searching for the name, "Jung... Ah right. Here it is, Krystal Jung."
