14 | campus affairs

"It's weird, Namjoon hasn't been in class these last couple of days," Jia told Suzu and Jungkook as they left to one of the many campus lunch rooms. Jungkook and Suzu are obviously close, but they're not technically a couple. Just about, but not yet. Obviously they've got feelings for each other but Suzu just isn't ready to jump into another committed relationship. From her last boyfriend disappearing and her boyfriend before that being Taehyung, she just can't do another relationship.

Of course Jungkook isn't really fond of the idea but he's agreed to be friends with benefits, heavy on the benefits. That doesn't change the fact that he doesn't want her around any other guys though. Still, he'll go along with what ever Suzu says. Even if she says she is crazy worried about Namjoon because he hasn't answered her texts either.

"He hasn't been answering my texts either. Should I go over to his place later?" Suzu asked making Jungkook's fist tighten. He reached out for her wrapping his arm around her waist letting his hand rest on her stomach. He pulled her back into his chest flashing a perfectly bright smile that lit up his face. "Maybe he's just sick, aren't you two being a little dramatic?"

"Maybe?" Jia asked with a shrug, "But with everything going on it's worrying."

"I'll drive you two then," Jungkook said as the three kept walking toward the lunchroom. Suzu nodded in agreement looking forward again, brows furrowing at the sight in front of her. Her head tilted to the side in confusion, "Officer Kim?"

"Suzu," Jin said with a polite smile, "I was looking to see if you had a chance to talk today?"

"On campus?" She asked and he nodded. "You're not in trouble, I've just got a few questions about the case."

Jungkook looked down at her to see what she'd say and she just nodded, "When?"

"Are you free right now?" Jin asked looking to her and her friends. Suzu turned to them too, "You guys go ahead without me."

Jungkook's tongue poked against his cheek releasing a deep sigh, "Yeah alright." Jin studied the people around her and how close they looked. From the way the guy had his hands on her it was safe for Jin to say maybe he was having a romantic relationship with Suzu. He had many questions about the people around her due to the previous victims of Ghostface.

They sat in a conference room and a recorder down on the table. Jin has other officers helping on the case but he was the main one used to speak to victims or witnesses. He started off easy asking her how day was, how she feels, all that and then he laid it down.

"So, actually, the reason why I've come to campus today is due to a student who had been attacked after hours. The University has kept in under wraps until we furthered our investigation so I'm here today to speak to students. Do you know third year, Kim Namjoon?" Jin asked her.

Her brows furrowed, suddenly growing anxious like she sensed something wasn't right. She nodded, "Yes, we're friends. Is he the, um, one attacked? Is he..."

"He's still at the hospital," Jin told her watching the way her nose began to redden as well as her eyes. Clearly this was working her up, not only was he her friend, but she also had a personal encounter with Ghostface too. He sighed, "Somce you're friends I'll tell you how he's doing. Unfortunately he was in critical condition with two ribs, a broken nose, and two stab wounds. Thankfully, security was able to scare off the attacker and immediately called for help."

"Oh my god," Suzu didn't know what to say. She was literally speechless. So that answers the question on where Namjoon has been. She shook her head in disbelief and Jin tried continuing, "Well, since you've gone through similar experiences and you're friends... I just thought maybe I could talk to you again. And... since we have reason to believe Choi Mino was also attacked by Ghostface."

"Mino?" Suzu asked again. Jin nodded, "Yes, you see, we have a timeline of Ghostface attacks and from Namjoon's recollection of the last time he'd seen Mino was the Wednesday the first victim died. There could possibly be a connection there too and considering you three might all be a part of us I'm sure you can understand why I want to speak to you again. Get your thoughts, and know a little more about your relationship with the two. Possibly even get a clearer description of your attacker?"

Suzu went on to describe her relationship with Namjoon first. She met Namjoon a couple months ago, before she started dating Mino. Those two were close friends and one time when Mino asked Suzu if she wanted to hang with his friends, she met Namjoon. She got to know him really well and even after Mino disappeared they still found themselves hanging out. She explained her relationship with Mino and the last time they talked and even showed him the text messages.

Jin didn't tell her about his assumptions. He had a reason to assume Ghostface could possibly be more than one person. He still needs to find a way to contact Mino and get his encounter with his attacker and that will really put it set in stone that it was Ghostface. If it does happen to be Ghostface and he had been attacked the same night that the first victim was murdered then that meant there were definitely two killers. For instance, how could Ghostface attack Mino at the same time that the woman was murdered?

Him and his team have gotten in contact with finding Choi Mino and gotten permission to involve him in the case with Daegu authorities. Due to the fact that he could have possibly been attacked in Seoul then that meant that's where parts of the investigation should be held.

Jin for more information from Suzu except the description of the attacker. She still described them as lean, and around 5'10. It was only a small difference than what Namjoon described but it was all Jin could go with to back his theory. Two killers around the same build but different strategies. So far, the first victim had been stabbed twice. One straight through her chest and the other in her lower stomach. The second murder was of the girl's throat being slashed and one stab in the back just under her rib cage.

Suzu left almost physically unscathed by Ghostface compared to Namjoon. And about what she said about the attacker having a moment of hesitance that let her get away. That's what is so strange. Why would they let her go just like that? Why didn't Namjoon get a chance? Why didn't the other two female victims? Why did her ex boyfriend leave with stabbings but wasn't killed? Was that unplanned or had they wanted him to stay alive?

There's just so many questions running through Jin's head about everything that has to be done. For starters he has to interrogate students, see who they know, see if anyone is suspicious. He'll start with Namjoon's friends, then Suzu's. He'll interview the guy with tattoos that was with Suzu. He'll interview the employees of the museum Mino's parents owned. He'll get to everyone.

He just needs to know who is behind the Ghostface mask.
