"Is that him?" Beomgyu whispered, clinging onto Taehyun's arm as they were standing right in front of the guy.

"Mhm. He looks.. different." Taehyun shook his head in disbelief.

"No duh, smart ass. You haven't seen him for 4 years."

"5 years." He corrects.

"Yeah yeah, whatever you say."

The two watch as Taehyun's friend picked up a stick and threw it, a not so happy look on his face.

"He looks upset." Beomgyu states.

"Nah, he seems normal to me." Taehyun shrugs. "He has those type of faces."

"Are you sure? It's been 5 years."

"4 years."

"God, just say you don't remember how long it's been. He looks like he changed."

"Psh, change? I don't think so. My friends are those type of friends that never change."

"Everyone at least changes once in their lifetime." Beomgyu gave Taehyun a questioning look.

"I didn't change." Taehyun said.

"Really? Never?" Beomgyu questions.

"Yep!" Taehyun replied very proudly.

"Well when I knew you before you moved, you weren't all, oH iM sUch a bAd bOy iM gOnnA steAL fRom stOrEs and pUnCh sOme kiDs." Beomgyu gave him that one look where you say something and then BAAM! Resting bitch face.

"Okay, so maybe I did change. But that doesn't really count since its me going from childhood to teenager!" Taehyun huffs, trying to win this argument.

"Okayy, if you say so." Beomgyu says, finishing this conversation. "So what do you suppose he is doing?"

"By the looks of everything around us," Taehyun pauses to examine the place. "He's just throwing sticks?"

"He's homeless."

"Where did you get that from? We're literally in the middle of a rich neighborhood."

"His clothes look worn out and are full of holes. He isn't even wearing any shoes. His hygiene is so bad I can tell without needing to smell him. He is out of shape but is super skinny. Oh, and have you seen his hair?"

"Like a young adult who just took a bath in a trash can." Taehyun shudders.

"How old are your friends again?"

"5 years older than me. That would make them around 23 years old by now."

"Erm.. so he shouldn't be living with parents.. so.. ahah! I know what happened then!" Beomgyu claps, piecing things together.

"Do tell. I want this mystery to end quickly."

"Why? So you can leave me faster? Rude.." Beomgyu pretends to cry.

"Nono! Gyu~ Once we find my killer, I'll still stay with you. I won't leave you even after your last breath. We'll be ghost and vamp together forever."

"Nuh uh. One day, I'll die and we'll both be ghosts forever and ever." Beomgyu hums. "By the way, your friend looks like he might pass out."

"Oh shet, you're right." Taehyun gasps, seeing his friend getting on one knee with the stick holding him up a little. "When he passes out, let's take him someplace and I'll transform you back into human you. Thennn, you can do some interrogating." He said with a mischievous laugh, connecting his pinky with Beomgyu's pinky.

"Sounds good." Beomgyu said with the same mischievous laugh following.

And right on cue, Taehyun's friend passes out.

Instead of having Beomgyu fly off with Taehyun to his body, Taehyun made Beomgyu stay while he grabbed Beomgyu's sleeping body and flew him back on over to that rich neighbor.

"I'm back, love. Here's your body back." Taehyun said, setting Beomgyu's body upright on his feet.

"Thank youu!" Beomgyu giggles, hopping right back into his body. "This feels so much better."

"But ghost mode is still cooler." Taehyun states.

"Can't agree with you there, buddy." He chuckles. "I'll take care of this guy, then." Beomgyu said, kneeling down to Taehyun's friend's level.

"Let's take him closer to the forest. You need any help carrying him?" Taehyun asks, unsure if Beomgyu can handle carrying a grown man.

"Nah, I got this. Vampire strength, remember?" Beomgyu grins.

Taehyun smiles. "Yeah."

So the two head on over to the forest with Beomgyu's vampire strength and speed and Taehyun's ghost abilities.

Now they're just at a rock. It is a very nice rock because it's huge but not lumpy so it's smooth and they can lay the friend down on his back.

When Taehyun's friend woke up, he was startled to see Beomgyu creepily staring at him. More like cutely, but you get the point.

"W-Who are you?! And whmph-!" Beomgyu shut his mouth harshly.

"Shush. I speak, you listen." He looks over to Taehyun, basically telling him 'what should I say?'.

"Ask him if he knows me first." Taehyun said.

"Hey, do you know Taehyun?"

"Well-"

"It's a yes or no question. Answer it."

"...well I did know him. But my friend said he went missing a long time ago. So if I find him ever again, yes. He is still my friend."

"I said it was a yes or no question.." Beomgyu mumbles to himself. "Okay! So you do know Taehyunie! Just so you know, he's already dead."

"What?! N-No.. D-Did you find him?? I don't believe you until you show me proof!" Taehyun's friend exclaimed.

"Wow.. I'm so loved.." Taehyun wipes a fake tear.

"Shhh. I don't need to show you proof. I just know because he is right next to us."

"Wha- Taehyun?? Are you there?"

"Oh yeah. I am." Taehyun answered.

"Oh fuck- I can hear you.. but- why can't I see you??"

"I'm a ghost you idiot. Obviously you can't see me." Taehyun rolled his eyes.

"Then why can this guy see you?" He looks over to Beomgyu's innocent looking face.

"I can see him because he's the love of my life, of course. Why can't you see me? Hm?"

"..I don't know?"

"Because you aren't the love of my life! God you are slow." Taehyun face palms himself.

"Anyways, we're tryna find his murderer. Got any clues for us?"

"No, sorry. I haven't met up with the others in a while after hearing about Taehyun going missing."

"Suspicious..." Beomgyu said, squinting his eyes at the other.

"Hey, don't think it was me who killed him. Taehyun and I were the closest out of the bunch. We'd hang out almost everyday!"

"An even bigger reason you could be the suspect." Beomgyu backs away suspiciously.

"Taehyun, please! You have to believe me.. it wasn't me!" His friend begs.

"Oh, I believe you. Beomgyu's just joking around." Taehyun giggles. "We'll go look for our other friends now. Wanna come along?"

"Yeah. I'd like to solve this case with you two. After all, I haven't been able to do much in this.. junkyard."

"It's a rich neighborhood, where'd you get junkyard??" Beomgyu questions.

"You see, around 2 years ago, my family got-"

"Didn't ask. Let's go!" Beomgyu walks away quickly with Taehyun trailing behind laughing.

Taehyun's friend sighed and quickly follows after them, slightly jogging.

Btw, this friend's name is Kim Yugyeom.
