01 :: Crime Scene

"What?" I abruptly jerked my body from my chair. Junghoon looked at him with disbelieving eyes and chuckled.

"C'mon man, I'm never opposed to you pulling my leg but don't joke about someone's life, damn!" He shrugged his head with a mocking disappointment.

"I'm not kidding, Hoonie! Anhyun committed suicide just some minutes ago! You hear those sirens?" He pointed outside at the road. "They are here because she jumped off from her window."

"Huh?" I looked at him. His eyes and expression didn't seem to be just making fun. He was speaking the way as if his whole life depended on it.

"I'm serious damn! Just come with me." We looked at eachother, sparing a minute for mind linking, and started running with Yunhua to the crime scene.

"Ish!" Seohi squeezed her eyes shut at the horrific condition.

Anhyun had jumped off the 18th floor and the reaction force hit her hard. Her whole face was scratched and she lay there in a puddle of blood.

"Hoonie..." I looked back at the man, who had fallen on his knees. He was transfixed at the motionless lump on the cemented pavement.

He turned his swollen, red gaze at me and mummed his cry, which I could understand, wanted to scream.

This was not the right time. I beckoned the rest to take him away from there, as I turned to stare at the body.

The police had sealed the crime spot and a huge crowd of students had gathered around it. The police were busy pushing them aside.

I spotted Detective Park Jimin, my brother, standing there with the Dean of the Group of The Universities, who was crying his heart out.

Mr. Jung, loved Anhyun more than himself and everyone in the city knew, how much he adored her. She had a life of princess, with whole freedom. She had a life like any other 14 year old, free of any worry or stress.

She was his princess.

"Mr. Jung, please hold yourself. It's a very tragic incident and me being a father of an infant daughter, I can understand your condition." Jimin mumbled words of consolation in his ears.

Junior Assistant Doctor of the Forensic Criminology department, Choi Yeonjun, had arrived with his team. They examined the evidence and drew around the body's position.

I was pretty short, compared to the 5'10 and over, boys in front of me that I had to reach a higher pavilion to see the body.

I walked to the statue of Lady Justicia and got up on her pedestal. It was pretty high but the distance made it hazy for me. The zooming of the camera was making it more blurry.

For some reason, Anhyun's body posture felt like as if she wasn't the one to jump, rather someone who pushed her off.

Choi Yeonjun's team walked past me to their laboratory. Yeonjun was walking behind them. He gave me an awkward look as he spotted me.
