Family issues

A hotel in London

-Hyung? What are all of these?

Jeongin looked around the room where the walls were covered in pictures and files.

-I'm trying to find them. Maybe if I understand why, I can also find where are they hiding. Here! he threw a pair of pants in Jeongin's face.

-Wha-

-Minho's pants.

-Why the fuck? he squealed and got rid of the pants.

-Search the pockets.

Jeongin crouched down and found smashed pills inside them.

-He used the pills to recreate the drug smell. He wasn't on drugs at all.

-I could have told you that as well...

-How? Seungmin made his way through the mess towards the younger.

-He got shot, remember? I checked his vitals and everything. I knew he wasn't withdrawing.

-Oh...Then about the French ball-

-It was Ryujin. Yeah, I know, Jeongin cut him off. Hyung, did you get any sleep last night?

-I'll answer that later! I found something else that you couldn't possibly have known.

-Okay... Which is?

Jeongin looked at the dark circles under Seungmin's eyes and followed his nervous moves.

He was certainly not alright.

-Check this out! I found the connection between Felix and Minho. When we went to rescue you, Jisung mentioned that his ex was left with a huge inheritance from his uncle. I looked it up. When Jisung burned Baekhyeon, his parents weren't in town. Do you know who came to pick him up and sign the discharge papers?

-I'm assuming another family member.

-Correct! The name in the records is Hajoon William.

-As in... the William circus?

-Exactly as in the William circus! he gripped Jeongin's shoulders excited.

-So Baekhyeon's uncle was the master of the circus?

-AND... He bought airplane tickets for his nephew every single year around the same date. His birthday.

-What does that-

-Felix made a call to the Seoul police station on that date. And if my math is right, which of course it is, that was around the time Minho hyung started his internship as a police officer.

-You think he heard the call?

-It was not a call, Jeongin... It was a cry for help. Hyunjin told me Felix wanted a Medusa tattoo.

-So?

-A Medusa tattoo means sexual assault.

-He's been raped by Baekhyeon.

-Multiple times. Every birthday. Now what would you do if both your boyfriend and your friend had this kind of experience with the same guy?

-I would be mad.

-Take that fury and add a psychopath. And there you have it. The reason why.

-You figured all of this out in one night?

-Once I knew where to start from, I couldn't stop digging. And to answer your question, I slept one hour on the toilet before Hyunjin kicked me out. He is... scary.
