============================

Author's POV:

Jin was still sitting on Taehyung's lap, he couldn't focus on the call records at all. 'Should I get up now? I have proved my point right? He must've understood by now that I don't find it as a big deal. Alright then I will get up', Jin thought to himself. He tried to get up but then he noticed Taehyung's hand around his waist. He stared at it nervously as he felt his face starting to heat up.

"What is it Jin? Want to get up?", Taehyung asked.

"No! Of course not! When did I say that? I am going through records, don't disturb me", Jin said while quickly burying his face in the papers resting on the table. Taehyung noticed Jin's flustered face, he smiled and said, "sorry to disturb you and make you get up from my comfy lap, but I have to get up and get some printouts", Taehyung said while pointing at the printer. Jin blushed as Taehyung mentioned his lap, but was somewhere relieved because he couldn't focus at all on the documents in his hands while sitting on Taehyung's lap.

Taehyung got up from his seat and went to printer. Jin plopped down on the seat with relief.

Taehyung turned around towards his seat but he saw Jin sitting in it with his head buried in the papers. He gave a small smile and went to seat in other seat and started going through the records.

"Captain?"

"Hm?"

"Did you observe, according to his call records, it looks like this guy Sunwoo barely had any friends. There are not many numbers he used to call frequently. But as per his grandmother's statement, he used to hang out with his friends for whole day and used to come home late", Jin said.

"Hm. You are right. We have to dig a bit more about his friends circle. Today Hoseok will also round up the local loan sharks, so I hope we will get some lead from it", Taehyung said.

"Captain? If you don't mind, can I ask you something?", Jin said.

"Yes go ahead", Taehyung said without looking up from the records.

"Why are you so affected by this case? Are you somehow familiar with victim or his family?", Jin asked nervously.

Taehyung looked up from the records and said, "yes, they are family of someone I knew from Daegu".

"Oh okay", Jin said. He knew something was off but he also knew that Taehyung wasn't ready to talk about whatever it was.

Then they scanned each and every number on the call record, trying not to miss anything that will lead them to Sunwoo.

"Jin! You see this?", Taehyung said while extending the call records sheet with few records highlighted in it.

"What?", Jin asked.

"Sunwoo used to receive one call from a number every Tuesday at 6 am in the morning. If you observe, the numbers are different everyday but the time and day is the same. This can't be a coincidence. What do you think?", Taehyung asked while looking at Jin expectantly.
