You kneel before my throne unaware that it was born of lies

The next day was like any others. Everyone immersed in their own jobs at the office.

Hyejin was scrolling down her phone. Jaehyun took the chance to annoy her . "Hey baby" he spoke up.

Hyejin looked up from her phone to Jaehyun who had a mischievous look.

"What?"
"Do you know-"

"Don't start with your dirty puns." Hyejin deadpanned.

"Come on. You're my girlfriend. Who else am I supposed to say those to?"
Jaehyun pouted.

"Go to donghyuck." She replied looking back at her phone.

"Ooh. Your jealous i seee." Jaehyun squinted his eyes.

"Why would i be jealous?pfft" she rolled her eyes.

"Then can i tell those dirty puns to some other girls. They'd love to make it come true."  He smirked.

"Oh my god!" Hyejin was getting annoyed clearly.

"See you are jealous. You're so in love with me right?" Jaehyun wiggled his brows.

"I can't stand this anymore." She got up from her, sighing.

"Then come sit on my lap. That's what it's for." Jaehyun patted his lap giving an innocent smile.

Hyejin just gave him a narrowed look.

"What? You said you don't wanna stand" jaehyun shrugged his shoulders.

Hyejin was about to lose her shit but thankfully Mr Lee walked in.

"Did you find the culprit in the theft case?" He asked Donghyuck.

"Yes sir. He was arrested yesterday." Donghyuck replied not taking his eyes off from the computer.

Mr Lee peeked into his computer to see what he was busy with.

"You are playing games?" He directed a narrowed look at him.

Donghyuck just smiled sheepishly in return.

Mr Lee's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey. You should see the news sir." The other person replied.

"Do i know you?" Me Lee asked.

"I'm sunghoon sir. I took a day off because i wasn't feeling well but guess I'll have to return now. Although I'm dissappointed you didn't save my number." Sunghoon replied hanging up.

Mr Lee walked forward to switch on the TV of their office. He skipped channels and stopped finally when he found a news channel.

"It was the same pattern as before. Did the police fail to catch the real culprit?" The reporter kept blabbing.

"No way." Jaehyun's eyes widened

Some of them was confusedly looking at Mr . Lee as they only heard half of the news and didn't understand anything.

"The culprit we caught, Hyejin's father is not the real culprit." Mr Lee spoke up.

Hyejin's eyes widened."what?"

"Was the man who the police caught framed?" The reporter kept going on and on criticising the police officers.

Mr.Lee switched the TV off not being able to take it.

"We should go to the site where they found the new body." He sighed.

His phone once again lightened up with a call.

Everyone was curious to know what was happening as Mr Lee talked to the man who called him.

"The case is handed over to a special Investigation unit. We are no more in charge." Mr Lee spoke up.

"Of course. They might be definitely thinking that we framed the man in order to wrap this case up faster." Donghyuck rubbed his temples, frustration clear in his features.

"We can do nothing other than sit back and watch now. We also might be given punishments if they prove that the man was framed." Mr Lee walked out.

Hyejin almost collapsed but jaehyun caught her in time.

"My dad." Tears cascaded down her cheecks.

"I cursed and resented him thinking he did all that." She sobbed sofly.

Jaehyun patted her head muttering a few 'its okay'.

Donghyuck sighed looking at Hyejin.
'who is the real culprit then?' his mind racing with millions of thoughts.
