“YOU CAN'T ESCAPE„
“WATCH ME, THEN.„
________________________

11 OCTOBER
DAEGU, SOUTH KOREA.

“Why am I the one being assigned to this? If I remember, Mister Min has still not retired,” Taehyung spoke reluctantly. The older man eyed him and said, “Mister Min has not retired, obviously, but he is on leave for his honeymoon.”

“Mister Min and honeymoon? What am I missing?” Taehyung spoke, a bit confused. As long as he remembers, he and his fiancée were not even married yet.

“Will you focus on what I told you? Mister Min's honeymoon and marriage shouldn't be your concern.”

“Fine. I will head over to the investigation room and check out the files.” Taehyung said, turning around and bumping his head into the chest of a tall man – which, according to him, he hadn't seen here before.

“Excuse me. Will you.. step aside.. a bit?”

“I will be watching you. Don't worry, I'm not a creep, but I'm assigned to do my task.” The man said, staring.

“As in.. you'll be observing me doing work?”

“Kind of.” He nodded and stepped aside. Taehyung awkwardly muttered a small “O.. kay-” before finally walking towards the room.

He entered it and sat on the chair with the files in his hands, while the man stood in front of him.

He opened the file, quietly reading all the details – of the case, and of the girl causing all this trouble too.

“That's it..?” Taehyung asked, reading the girl's profile. There was not much information about her life and how she really got into a juvenile.

“Check the other file, there must be details about what happened inside the juvenile there.” The man said. The blonde-haired lad gave him a curt nod and opened the next file.

After reading it, he faced the man and the man said, “I'll be going,”

“You were only here for this time period?” Taehyung raised a brow. “Yes, I'm not actually here for the purpose I told you. Someone else will be here.” And with that, he left.

Taehyung had not even noticed the figure behind the glass wall in front of him, he was too busy reading the files. Looking at the girl, her hair were left free, and half of her face was covered with it, while her bloodied hands and clothes were clenching tight into a fist. She was holding the chains too tight.

“Is this.. Kim Taehyung?” A voice emerged and he looked back to see a man with black hair and a white t-shirt raised up to his elbows. “Yes, what happened?”

“I'm Jeon Jungkook. I work with the police force, I was assigned to work with you in this case.”

“Well, it's a pleasure to meet you. Have you read the files?”

“I have,” He shortly replied, walking past him and sitting on the black sofa behind. “Have you tried talking to her?” Jungkook asked shortly.

“No. I'm waiting for her to adjust to the surroundings, or else she will attack us,”

“Right. You don't have anyone working with you?”

“No, I usually work alone so I figured that I won't really need anyone, but since you're here my work will be a bit easier.” Taehyung replied.

“Th–” Jungkook was cut off by the sound of clinking chains from behind the transparent glass wall, making both of them look at it.

In the blink of an eye, the glass wall broke, making Lilianne and the two lads face each other directly.
