Friends with Benefits | Mitzu

Episode 3

No One's POV

"So during the 50 minutes, i find it suspicious because you cannot be just patrolling around the police office. So i want to ask you. Where exactly were you and what were you doing?" The female officer said and ended with two questions to the youngest detective.

"I do that every day." Detective Jeong calmly answered, not showing any hint of being wavered.

"You know, it's more suspicious since you've been doing it every single day because you will think that no one will find it suspicious." Chief Choi said with a sharp mind while Detective Jeong could only state that it's a possibility and avoided eye-contact with the chief of the police department.

"Okay, next will be you." The female officer said, pointing her pen at Journalist Park, who got herself ready to explain her timeline.

"I'm Journalist Park. I went to the office at around 11am and at 11.30am, i had coffee with Profiler Im. At 12pm, i had lunch with some people. Then at 1pm, i went to the nearby flower shop but they didn't have the flowers i wanted so i placed an order for the flowers at around 1.15pm to give to Detective Kim. At 2pm, i interviewed Squad Chief Yoo by the commission of Profiler Im. At 2.30pm, the flowers were delivered to me." He said his timeline.

"What kind of flowers were they?" Detective Jeong asked with curiosity.

"They are gorgeous roses, just a normal kind of roses." Journalist Park answered simply with no hesitation.

"Roses...?" Detective Jeong asked in a quieter voice and the male journalist simply nodded his head.

"Do you perhaps have a crush on Detective Kim?" Squad Chief Yoo asked and everyone burst into laughter as Journalist Park shook his head and palms while laughing.

"That reminds me. Roses have meaning so what color were the roses?" Detective Jung asked and looked at the male journalist, who seemed to be unable to answer his question right away as he looked hesitant and surprised to hear his question. He cleared his throat and answered,

"Well, i like black roses so i got him those." Sounds of gasps could be heard in the room and the suspicion on him rises.

"Dark roses? Do you know the meaning behind dark roses?" The female officer asked, observing the journalist carefully.

"I don't know." He said and shook his head.

"It means that you're mine." The female officer said and everyone gasped, becoming even more suspicious of the male journalist.

"Ah, how about this? Journalist Park confessed to Detective Kim but got rejected in the end. Thus, the reason to kill Detective Kim." Squad Chief Yoo said, making a reasonable assumption while everyone thinks that his words make sense. His love could be turned to hatred and killed Detective Kim for rejecting his love confession. However...

"I only got them to congratulate him on his special day. I just want to give him my favorite kind of roses as a congratulation on his promotion today." Journalist Park was quick to explain before everyone starts becoming more suspicious of him. Before anyone could ask more questions, the female officer decided to divert the attention back to her.

"You're up next." She said, looking at the gang boss, who has been sitting quietly.

"I'm Boss Myoui. I came to the office at 12.40pm to visit Young Tzu and ran into Detective Kim at 1pm I was with him for about 40 minutes. At 1.40pm, i called one of my subordinates and at 1.45pm, i filled out a form for visitation on the 1st floor. Then at 2.45pm, i was with Detective Jeong and Young Tzu." The gang boss explained his timeline.
