Breaking News : Missing Student of Prestigious school Seoul High Academy found dead in Han River.

They slowly read the news word per word trying their best to comprehend what's happening and only then they realized they were for surely done for— However, as they continue to tap on their shoe wrapping their head around the news they realized one thing.

"He must've done this"

Two years ago,
9th grade

"I wished i could make you all play a game that would be fun" Yunho was smiling from ear to ear as he explained how he always win games amongst the group and wants to host a really hard game and see who wins.

"What kind of game do you have in mind?" Jongho cocks his head in his way and yunho sighed dreamily "Oh, a lovely one. Of course, i will be hosting it and you guys will be the players and its called guess who did it" everyone but yunho has a confused look on their face "what? you don't get it? well, i still haven't finished the game's planning and development once its done, i'll make sure to launch it with a surprise" he grinned like a mad man but they were all used to his crazy remarks, it had become a personality they think but then as days went on he couldn't just stop bringing up guess who did it.

Jongho eventually breaks and yelled "stop it! im so sick hearing you talk about that good for nothing game! it doesn't sound like a normal game!" he then walked away with his stuff on his hand leaving a smiling yunho behind mumbling "of course it's not, im jeong yunho, everything needs to be carried out as planned intelligently" under his breath.

Detective Min (Present)
October 6, 1:34 PM

As i go over the student's profiles and their records i come across more bigger questions in my head and much deeper into their lives, these kids aren't ordinary people. They came from big names and their families are among the elite of the society. Although it's a question how Choi San are friends with these kids, i brushed it off considering the case might be not just a tip of an iceberg.

"Detective Min, the journalist is back again!" I hear minhyuk yelled and i could only sigh heavily, the journalists have been camping out waiting for any break news "let him in" i say in my already tired voice.

"Detective ~" the short journalist singsongs; of course its him again.

"You're one persistent concern aren't you?" I shook my head playfully as if disappointed "Yes and i will never stop bugging you until you give me my big break on news" he bats his eyelash prettily, i admit he's cute and beautiful, handsome too with his crescent moon eyes.

"gross don't do aegyo it's not gonna work on me and besides i have nothing, although i'll let you in on a secret" he leans in to my side as if preparing himself for a huge gossip "silly, im not going to whisper it because it really isn't worth it but if you insist we can negotiate things but outside my workplace" i said as i collect the files on my desk.

We went to my favorite samgyupsal restaurant "so, what is it" he gets straight to the point and as i cut the meat in pieces i thought maybe if i get it on air and these kids act right, we might see the light in the case.

I nod my head as i gesture my hand for him to grill the meat "See, these suspects are all senior high schools, 12th grade, last year they weren't of legal age and the only thing they admitted to was attending a party and drinking alcohol that night but you know what's off? the timing of their arrival and departures. Specially the two childhood friends, according to them they were together until around nine that night and left on different vehicles and then left the party venue together but then there's no cctv footage that could back up their claims when they arrived and left the club. it doesn't add up, how is it that there are cctvs but on that night every cameras broken? suspicious isn't it?" the journalist nods his head in understanding "ah, but hyungnim what if those two are the real culprits? i mean weren't they friends? maybe there's some sort of jealousy going on"

I looked at him skeptically "you mean crime of passion?" he nods eagerly "no but really you have to get into that maybe that's the way" I shook my head "no, no what if... what if you air an information on news?" he nods his head and hurriedly grabbed his notebook and pen, ready to write whenever i say the word.

"upon investigating, i noticed all six of the students involved in the case are elites, get this, one is a son of an assemblyman, the other is a son of judge, one is a son of school director, one is ceo of one of the largest group of companies in the entire country, there's also the son of two famous chefs in the industry, and one is of senator. why don't you this information but make it anonymously? you do your word magic but make it enough to be talked about in social media"

The journalist had the cutest laugh ever almost falling off of the chair "im just so happy i have an article for tonight! thank you hyungnim!"

"Im not sure if i catch your name, what is it again?"

"Jimin, I'm Park Jimin"
