Magic Island

chapter twenty two

Two days had passed, and an investigation was opened about Taehyun's sudden death. It was all over the news, all over social media. It was safe to say that his death didn't go unnoticed.

Of course, the four main suspects were Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, and Kai, since they were the last ones with him. So they all went to the police station that day to be interviewed. They all walked together, but it was silent. No one said a word. After Kai lashed out on Beomgyu, he immediately left, not looking back.

Even though he didn't remember lashing out on Beomgyu like that, when Yeonjun explained it, he didn't feel any sort of regret towards his actions. He had never hated anyone more than he hated both Beomgyu and Soobin. You murder someone and yet still say that you love them? The audacity.

They got to the police station and were soon guided into a room with five chairs. Four on one side, one at the other. It triggered something in Kai's brain, making him stand away from the others, not moving.

It reminded him of his sister.

"Hyuka? Are you okay?" Yeonjun looked back at Kai who just stood there in fear.

"I-I can't do this." He said as he soon started shaking, "I can't go through this again."

'Kai you're the murder.'

'It's your fingerprints on the knife.'

"I can't do this!" Kai started walking out the door, but Yeonjun grabbed his wrist, pulling him back.

"Hey, look at me okay?" Yeonjun said in a calm tone, "I'm here for you, okay? If something happens, I'll be here to help you!"

"Are you sure..?"

"I'm positive!"

Kai did a small nod and held onto Yeonjun's hand, and followed him back into the room where Beomgyu and Soobin were sitting down. Seeing them immediately ruined his mood. But, he had no choice, so he sat down next to Yeonjun and the officer walked in.

"Hello!" Kai immediately hated him, he was too happy for a situation like this, "I'm Officer Bang. You can call me Chris."

They all nodded and he sat down in front of him, putting down a notepad, "I'm here to ask you questions about the unfortunate death of Kang Taehyun, and I'm asking you to please cooperate to the best of your abilities. It would be really helpful for the case."

They all nodded and Chris flipped a page over in his notepad.

"So, could one of you explain what happened the night of his death?"

"Well," Soobin started, "I had gone out for a walk that night while the others stayed in the bedroom having a pillow fight. I stayed out until 1am and didn't come back until 1:45am. I went to sleep, we all had breakfast, Taehyun was still sleeping, presumably dead at this time. It wasn't until around 5pm that we found out he was dead."

"Me and Kai went to get water, leaving Beomgyu and Taehyun alone for a few minutes. Beomgyu said Taehyun had fallen asleep after a while, and then we all just went to bed." Yeonjun said with a shrug. Beomgyu nodded with his statement.

"The only conclusion I can come to is that he died in his sleep, but he never showed any symptoms for any health conditions. It was all so sudden-" Yeonjun said, before being cut off.

"It was Beomgyu." Kai mumbled.

"Huh?"

"Beomgyu murdered him. IT WAS ALL HIS FAULT!" Kai yelled out, tears forming in his eyes.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about." Beomgyu said, starting to bounce his leg from anxiety.

"Sir, you can't just jump to sudden conclusions without concrete evidence." Chris said.

"He admitted to it himself! He did it!"

"Is any of that true?" Chris turned his head to Beomgyu, who looked very anxious.

"N-No sir, I don't know what he's talking about.." Beomgyu said, looking down at the ground.

"YOU BITCH!" Kai stood up from his chair and punched Beomgyu in the face, making his fall off his chair, "YOU KILLED TAEHYUN! STOP TRYING TO HIDE IT!"

Chris stood up and help Kai back from Beomgyu as Soobin helped the other up.

"Sir, you need to calm down!" Chris said, "You can't accuse someone of murder without any sort of evidence!"

"But there's plenty of evidence." The voice of a girl was heard from behind them, they all turned around and saw a girl with what was now brown hair with an orange streak. But no one knew that voice as well as Kai did.

"C-Choerry?" Kai said with a shocked look on his face. Choerry walked over to Chris and pat his shoulder, indicating to let go of Kai. He let go and looked over at her with a confused look on his face.

"And you are?"

"Choi Yerim, call me Choerry. Now take this." She put a usb in his hand, as well as a few files, "Is this enough evidence for you? It should show very clearly how Choi Beomgyu is the murderer of Kang Taehyun."

A smirk appeared on her face and she looked over at Beomgyu, "You can't hide anymore."
