The cold gaze of a girl pierced through Minho's figure, burning him with her eyes after entering the interrogation room. Minho just smiled at her, nodding his head, trying to tell her with his expression that everything was fine. She sat next to him, facing the two curious detectives awaiting to find out what she was going to say.

"So, Miss Y/N, you see, Mr. Lee here is a suspect for the recent murder of Mr. Park Hyunwoo." detective Song started explaining.

Y/N just nodded, taking in every word he was telling her. At some point she glared at Minho subtly, because she had no idea how she was going to cover him up. There was no proof of her being with him that night, so she was worried that words might not be enough. She also had this fear that her gut feeling might be true, now that the police are actually investigating him.

"Mr. Lee told us that he is innocent and that he was with you when the crime happened."

"Ah, yes... Uhm well..." she started getting hot, sweat coming out of her each pore she had on her neck and face, feeling so little in front of the two intimitating stares "Because he drank alcohol, I went to pick him up and..."

"What's your relationship with Mr. Lee?" the other detective interrupted her.

"We're friends" glancing over at him "Close friends" she forced the words out of her mouth.

A grin plastered on Minho's lips after hearing the girl's affirmation. He confirmed as well, that they were pretty close to each other so that the detectives wouldn't doubt it.

"And you said you went to pick him up, because he was drunk, right?" Mr. Song continued.

"Yes!"

"Around what time did you pick him up?"

She gulped, not expecting that question, because she didn't know when the party he participated at ended, neither did she know when he last saw Mr. Park, so she was put in a really tight situation.

"I... Uhm..."

"It was 1:40 am when she picked him up!" a voice suddenly answered the question from the door.

Their eyes averted to who had just spoken out. It was a pretty tall man in a suit, with soft and handsome features, dark chestnut hair colour; his right hand was occupied by a smaller briefcase which he seemed to hold in a cool manner as he was leaning against the door frame.

"And who are you?" Mr. Song asked.

"This guy's lawyer, Kim Seungmin." he responded as he gestured his head to Minho. He then walked over to them and continued "I was at his house that night, waiting for him to come back!"

"And why is that?"

"Not important right now. Here, she texted me that she was at the door and wanted me to open it for her." he showed them some text messages on his phone.

The detectives raised their eyebrows, almost convinced at what Seungmin was saying, while Y/N was shocked by the sudden evidence. Minho was just pleased with how everything was going so far, but then detective Song cleared his voice ready to ask.

"Can we see Miss Y/N's phone too?"

Y/N looked at Seungmin with a worried expression, not knowing what to do, but he told her with a motion of his head that she could show them her phone. And so she did, hesitantly took the device out of her pocket and opened the text messaging app. She was stunned by what she saw there, the same conversation that Seungmin had on his phone. She tried to play it cool though, not raising any other suspicions. The detectives nodded in approval and so, they decided to release Minho.
