The Wolf and the Beauty

TWATB #22

(I don't wanna update here anymore... let me know if anyone still reads this here)

The next day after Junmyeon had visited the crime scene at Busan, the scene had another visitor. A black figure emerged from behind the tree across the house. Lowering his cap and adjusting the mask over his face, Chanyeol walked out of his spot. As soon as he was sure he could see no one, the officer walked to the scene of the crime.

Lifting the yellow tapes over his head, he walked in and scrunched his nose at the smell of the burnt place. The half-burnt chair caught his attention and he gulped the lump in his throat. Was he and Baekhyun the reason the man was dead? he pondered in his head.

Speaking of his boyfriend, the smaller man was yet to know about Jinyoung's horrific death and Chanyeol had no plans of telling him anytime soon either. He scanned through the place with the latex gloves on his hands.

He was searching for something that could lead him closer to the monster. As he flipped the cushions on the couch, something caught his eyes. Strands of hair. As he looked closer, he realized those were not the same color as the victim's.

Jinyoung died a heroic death, the officer praised before collecting the strands in an evidence bag he brought with him. The man rushed back to his car and drove back to Seoul. A victorious smile adorned his face knowing he was so close to finding the MO and repaying his debts soon.

With the thought replaying in his head, the man drove to his apartment. Just then his phone rang interrupting him from his thoughts. Seeing it was his brother, he attended.

"Hey!"

'Yeol, I need your help.'

"What is it?"

'You need to go to the doctor's place. He said he saw someone outside his window last night. I think it might be the MO trying to kill Sehun.'

Chanyeol hung up and changed his direction to the doctor's brother's place where Sehun was being kept safe still unconscious.

It was evening when he reached and the sun was setting in the distant horizon slowly and gracefully. Making sure the evidence bag was well hidden in his car, the figure in black stepped out. He parked his car a little far away so as to not be spotted by anyone who knew him.

He snuck into the backyard of the house and stayed in the blind spots as well as he could. Chanyeol hid behind a bush and through there he could see a body on the bed and someone checking his vitals.

So far so good, he told himself and decided to stay there till nightfall to see if any threat showed up. Two hours ran by and Chanyeol had his eyes and ears peeled. And just like that one more hour passed by. The man was hungry, just a little longer, he comforted himself as he sat there.

Soon a rustle caught his attention. He could distinctly hear the twigs break under the boots near him. Chanyeol very well knew it was not the doctor's brother since he had just seen him inside. He adjusted his mask and cap before lowering himself and turning to the side.

No one.

The man squinted his eyes before turning the other way but still nothing. The sound of boots being dragged against a rough surface. The man looked up to see another figure in black go up the tree which had its branches stretching up to right outside one of the windows.

Seeing that, Chanyeol knew the man had been here previously to know exactly when the nurse finished checking up on Sehun for the day and the perfect way to sneak in. The officer jumped up as he too began climbing the tree.

Seeing the other man, the MO sped up but Chanyeol was quicker and pulled him down by his feet. The MO lost his grip but soon caught it back as he tried to kick the officer down. Chanyeol never let go of his ankle as he continued to pull him down with teeth clenched. The MO lost his grip on the bark once again and fell down hard. Chanyeol jumped down.
