Author's POV
And she continued to sob softly in the dark, her cheek squeezed against his chest, her tears and breath burning hot. His forehead was adorned with creases as he watched the ambulance drive away and the officers still emerged in a conversation.
"You think they'll catch the killer soon?" Finally, his expression softened when he heard Alani's voice but in a broken soft tone. He enveloped her body with his firm arms and stroked her back without replying. How would he reply to her words? He himself didn't know the definite answer.
His first and only guess is Taehyung and Taehyung only but after exanging a few words with the investigation team he's doubting his suspicion more and more to the point where he is losing his grasp on his sanity.
Not hearing any reply from Namjoon, she burst out in tears again- he ran his hand up and down her clothed back again as he looked at head investigator approaching them.
His eyes held sympathy with a hint of suspicion, which was a good news for the couple. "Our team has rounded up enough evidence to come to the conclusion that the victim was attacked by a single person." He spoke softly but stopped midsentence as he slid on his latex gloves and opened the zip lock bag he was holding in his hand. "We found this lighter, it seems to have something written on it but the blood is covering it. Do you recognize this?" He held a shiny lighter in his hands, a dragon logo adorned it along with lettering that was hidden with blood.
Both Alani and Namjoon didn't need more proof, they know who it belonged to. Still they shook their heads in sync, No.
Namjoon curled his shaky and sweaty fingers into a fist. "The owner is the killer?" He nearly stuttered.
The area was sealed, no life was allowed near the scene, leaving the street dead silent. Some birds could be heard cheating but now even the bird sounds fluttered down into silence.
"We can't be sure, we got some CCTV footages on our hands so let's see what comes out of them. " The officer replied, flipping through the pages of his small notebook. "But well, we need to have this place cleared up for further investigation, we'll get back to you soon. "

Namjoon's POV
He wouldn't do this without a planning. But that lighter- he thinks to himself as they walk back to their car. The irony stench still hitting his face. He'd atleast try to beguiling her into writing a suicide note, portray it as a open and shut suicide case. This a huge drama. Nothing like we have dealt with before.
With Alani next to me, I took small strides to the car. I looked up, taking in a long stream of air to loosen up some muscles, the symmetry of the clear planes looked ethereal.
The sound of dry leaves being crushed under our shoes, was heard with every step we took and then it hit me, the cries had disappeared.
I looked over at Alani, not turning my head fully towards her but enough to see her feature. If it wasn't for her smudged mascara, no one would be able to tell that she was just crying for her dead bestfriend.
"Babe, are you fine?" It was a stupid question, how was she supposed to be fine but I asked anyways.
Her reply was a hum with a smile.
