There was a sense of serenity in the morning. With the Sun beginning to shine through the blinds illuminating his sleepy face with lines of light. It was quiet, only a couple birds chirping from the windowsill and the sound of the sheets rustling as he shifted onto his side.
Half asleep, Taehyung reached out an arm and it hit an empty bed. His brows furrowed in sleep as he felt around but touched nothing but bedding. Slowly, his eyes opened. The sight of his hand was a little heartbreaking with no one to hold.
Turning onto his back, Taehyung stared at the high ceiling of Suzu's bedroom. Despite not having her in bed at the moment, he couldn't be happier. He was in her apartment where he slept the best sleep he's had in a long time-probably since he last slept beside her. When she crashed at his apartment after a mini panic attack, he didn't get into bed with her even if he really wanted to. He slept on the couch to respect her privacy but this time she invited him into her bed and never told him to leave.
He stretched his muscles, doing a star position before moving to a seated position. He looked around the empty bedroom running his hand over his face to wake himself up better. With a small yawn he finally got up, opened the bedroom door and walked out into the living room.
Suzu didn't even look up to him, eyes glued to the television as she held her phone to ear.
"I'm watching it now," Suzu said to someone on the phone as she picked up the phone and turned the volume up. Taehyung came to sit by her and this time she did look up at him. It was a mistake to let him sleep over but it was too late. The damage was done and now Suzu doesn't know if she'll ever escape him-or if she wanted to. Right now she wasn't focused on him, she was focused on what Namjoon had called her so early in the morning to do.
"This morning, upon arrival to Min's Bar & Restaurant, a tragic incident has occurred. Manager of the bar came in early this morning to open up shop when he discovered a car sitting in the parking lot overnight. The car was still running and upon closer inspection, a woman was seen facing down against the steering wheel. The manager tried opening the door trying to get the woman who appeared to have been sleeping, out of the car."
Suzu was silent as she watched now. Mom's Bar was where Yunha worked and it had her heart racing. Taehyung tried to keep up with her emotions, mirroring them on his own face, anxious to hear the news just like her.
"Officials were called onto the scene and after some success, the car door was pried open and the scene discovered is horrendous. A woman was viciously murdered in the comfort of her own vehicle, locked in and deserted with music still playing in the background. Unfortunately due to the bar's low profile, no security footage had been found but authorities believe it is once again the work of Ghostface. Can we take a moment of silence in prayer to the victim, Choi Yunha, may she rest in peace and her family be consoled."
