Lee Kimberly passes through pain from losing her best friend to suicide, blaming herself for missing her calls that day. But maybe she can regain her happiness. Step number one: find her killer.
⚠TW⚠: Mentions of - abuse, drugs, rape, suicide, bull...
"Was Jiwon dealing drugs for you? How did she find you? When did she start? Why the fuck would you allow a minor deal drugs? How-"
"Kim, calm down," Jungwon says, stroking her back.
Jay glances at them before turning to the older, "You did hear that Jiwon passed away on September 4?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.
He nods sorrowfully, "I had a feeling through the blurred images on the news it was her, and when she didn't reply to any of my messages I figured."
They nod, "Could you tell us exactly how you knew Jiwon?" Jungwon asks.
"Um about 3 years ago, probably the beginning of 2017 I found her sobbing on the streets. As the sympathetic person that I am, I went up to her and started to comfort her and she began to tell me why she was like that. Her best friend was dating her crush, twin brother was kidnapped for a year, the people that kidnapped him contacted her for money if she didn't pay up two thousand dollars a month something will happen to him, she had to pay for his freedom and for them to not hurt him- that's what she told me. When she told me that I began to even feel myself tear up because I myself have a twin brother and I could never lose him, I would feel quite literally that my other half is missing. So... I offered to help her. Offered her to deal drugs for my boss. 250 a pound, later going up to 300 a pound. I introduced her to some people who would quickly get rid of the 15 pounds that she sold every month. 2,500 dollars was given to her and the boss kept the rest."
Kimberly sighs, how could she have not known about this? How could she have been so dumb to not ask more about her best friend?
"Kim, stop beating yourself up," Jungwon says softly for only her to hear. She nods her head slightly, looking back at Dongmyeong who was still talking.
"She told me about of shit. A lot of her problems which let me quote 'were too much to tell the person she trusts the most' and I'm guessing that's you?" He asks pointing at the only girl there.
"If she didn't have a secret person behind my back then I'd like to think that," she mumbles bitterly.
He sighs, "You can't be mad or even the tiniest bit of bitterness towards her. She wanted to protect you trust me when it comes to best friends I know. This field is very dangerous I even regretted bringing such an innocent, precious, and sweet girl into this. I wish I could've just given her the money but I wasn't in a good state then. I was just freshly out of high school and had just found my boss to help me make money for me and my brother. Now, I have a family bigger than I did before out of my "job." Bad moments will lead to the happier ones and I'm sure that's what Jiwon wants to happen."
"Thank you for telling us this Dongmyeong-ssi. Actually, the reason we came to find you is that we think that Jiwon didn't die because of suicide but because someone pushed her off the roof top of our school. We trust that you'll tell us if anything suspicious ever came up with her?" Jay asks.
Dongmyeong slowly shakes his head with a thinking face. "I also don't believe that it was suicide. Even if Jiwon wanted her problems to stop she would never come up with the solution of killing herself... I don't remember her ever telling me something suspicious that would make me think someone wants to kill her. She mostly shared problems with me about that bastard of a boyfriend," he explains.
"Did you like our Jiwon?" Jungwon asks with furrowed eyebrows.
He quickly shakes his head denying it, "No! Of course not! She started dating my brother after some time! He would kill me if he heard the words that just came out of your mouth," he states panicking.
"Did you call for me?" someone enters the living room after a minute with a tired voice and face topped with red eyes and tear-stained cheeks.
"No, Dongju go back to rest."
"Now I can't. I'll start thinking and thinking and thinking and who are those people?" He asks with no real interest whatsoever.
"Dongju, this is Kimberly, Jay, and... Yang Jungwon."
He nods uninterested, sitting next to his twin brother, "Why are they here?"
"Well... they wanted information about... Jiwon. You know as her twin brother, best friend, and... I don't about the third."
"As a person who wants to find the truth about someone's death," Jay cuts in.
"You- you are my Jiwon's twin?" He asks now with teary eyes pointing at the youngest boy in the room who nods shooting a slight glare at the older. Jiwon might not be here anymore but he was still Jiwon's brother and let's just say it was his turn to even in the afterlife protect his 3 minutes older sister.
But then he softens, seeing the older's broken eyes, knowing that he must've been a good person to his sister. "Yes, I am."
"I- I'm sorry for your loss," he says, voice slightly cracking.
"I am too." He answers, looking down at his lap. He looks up, "We've already asked your brother and we'd like to know as much as you can about what my sister has told you."
"Wh- why?"
"We-," Kimberly sighs, "We think that Jiwon might have been murdered rather than suicide."
"Who- who would dare?" He asks angrily.
"That's why we're here, we're trying to figure it out." She answers. "Tell us anything you can remember," she pleads.
"She was bullied but you know that already and her fake boyfriend was a total asshole that she sometimes came to me with bruises because she tried to stop the act. Have you guys looked through them?"
"We barely found out that the relationship that she had with Hyunwoo was fake and that he is not as innocent as he seems. As for the three girls, I think we have the next lead."
N/A: I love the twins so much I just had to include Xion(Dongju) too. 😭😭
