Before he left for work that morning, leaving Felix alone and asleep in his bed with Kkami curled between his legs, Hyunjin made sure to call Eric over a few minutes before leaving.

It took a while, but after hounding Felix about whether or not Eric was involved with the gang, Felix did say that he wasn't. Afterwards, Hyunjin had promptly passed out- comfirtably holding Felix in his arms.

Sometime during the night, without waking Hyunjin up, Felix had managed to write down a single name. And to say that Hyunjin was now fuming, was an understatement.

Despite going to sleep so late in the night, Hyunjin was wide awake and on the tips of his toes the whole morning.

"What- no 'good morning, Seungmin'?"

Hyunjin casted named male a glance, his face void of any emotion. However, underneath the vacant expression was an anxiety inducing feeling, itching at his nerves as he turned away.

His eyes fell on the sticky note again, before he raised his eyes towards the door. Seconds later, the very person he was looking for stepped in.

Immediately, he grabbed the handcuffs that were placed on his desk. He approached him with quick steps, ignoring the sound of Seungmin's confused calls.

"Adachi Yuto?" Hyunjin queried, and just as Yuto turned himself to face Hyunjin, he lightly grabbed his arm and turned him to face the other way. "You're under arrest for the suspected involvement in the murder of ex-special agent Lee Sangyeon. You can remain silent if you wish, but everything said can and will be used against you in court."

"Oh?" Yuto chuckled darkly, something Hyunjin had not once heard from the agent's mouth. "It was about time someone figured it out then, huh?"

He didn't respond to him as he pulled him back by his handcuffed hands. His jaw was clenched, and he began to move away from the other agents he had come in with, passing a confused Seungmin- who looked more shocked than anything -while leading him away.

"What are you doing?"

Hyunjin's mouth remained closed as he slapped the sticky note down on the desk beside Seungmin, the desk wobbling on its legs.

Was it speculation? Sure- all he knew was that Yuto was involved with the gang. But he needed a reason to arrest him- but it didn't seem he was all that far off from what he accused him of.

Even if he did wrongly accuse him, he was going to pull something out of him that was of use.

He avoided most of the other agents that day, other than telling his boss that he had been given an 'anonymous' tip. He spent most of his morning in the interrogation room with a silent Yuto, staring at him to try and pull a word from him.

Yuto was too relaxed, and it made Hyunjin uncomfortable. He knew that Yuto knew their tactics, even the psychological ones that Seungmin used, but he didn't know he'd come off as immune to them.

It wasn't until Hyunjin decided he wasn't going to try and pry at him anymore that he got Yuto to say something. But it wasn't anything that was of use to him with the death of Sangyeon still resting on his back. Rather, it was only something that fed him anxiety, and something that would sit in his gut the rest of the day.

"Your pretty boy'd better watch his back. Ears are everywhere."

He had become pretty unsettled by this. Not knowing whether or not it was the other 'dirty agents' Felix was talking about, or someone had bugged his belongings, or if someone was just constantly around the two of them to track what they were saying.
