Unexpected Strays

Chapter 16

"Put it in the foot of the car, where the pedals are. Less noticeable." You said.
"That's a good idea. I'll make sure to do that." He said
"If you need any help, let me know. I'll be in town for the week." You said.
"I will. Thanks for the ideas on how to get the speaker." Ju-Won said.
""No worries. Thanks for filling me in on the interrogation with Chang-Jin" You said
before hanging up the phone.
"Is that a good thing? Him being arrested and all?" Chan asked after you hung up to
make sure he wasn't heard.
"Absolutely. We have a guy arrested for murder that dates back up to 20 years ago." You
said.
"That is a good thing. Listen, if you need to go to the station at all while we are in town,
you can just go, as long as you tell me when you leave during a show." Chan said, as the saint he is.
"Thanks Chan. You're the best. Seriously." You said while walking towards the door.
"It's not a problem at all. I want to make sure you get this person in jail." Chan said as he
walked out of the door.
"NOONA!" Hyunjin yelled when he saw you come out of the closet.
"What now Hyunjin?" You asked, turning towards him, who was laying on a couch he
had found somewhere.
"I want cuddles." He whined, face on the couch
"At the hotel, ok? I promise." You said, grabbing his hand and pulling him up to get into
the car. You were going to drive. Everyone can drive in the other vans. Once you had gotten Hyunjin into the passenger seat, you walked over to the other side and got in the driver seat. The drive to the hotel was silent. Once you got to the Hotel, you had to get Hyunjin out of the car without him complaining.
"Hyunjin, baby, we're here." You said, hoping to not hear too much complaining from
him, and surprisingly, there was none. Grabbing his hand once again, you basically dragged him into the hotel room Chan had rented early in the day.
"Come here Hyunjinnie. We can cuddle now." You said.
"Thanks Y/n." He said, coming out from the closet.
"Do you want to be little spoon or big spoon tonight?" You asked, sitting up in bed.
"Little spoon. These past few days have been tiring." He said, laying you down before
laying his head on your chest. Right as he was getting comfy, someone knocked on the door before entering the room.
"Hey guys, can I sleep with you tonight? I need some sleep tonight." It was Chan. You
knew he needed sleep.
"Are you ok with that Hyunjin?" You asked Hyunjin, who was half asleep.
"Come on in Chan. It is still a bit cold in here still." Hyunjin said before closing his eyes
again. Sliding over to make sure that Chan had enough room, he climbs into the bed next to you.
"Thanks guys." He said before closing his eyes to fall asleep. Making sure that both of
them fall asleep, you close your eyes and fall asleep with them.

The next day, Ju-Won had walked into the station at 10 AM, where he saw Ji-Hwa
standing at the front desk.
"It's been 24 hours. Sorry to say this, but we have to let go of Chang-Jin. We haven't
gotten any new evidence that she was the one who committed the crime."
"Alright... I'll go let him out." Ju-Won said, walking over to where the keys were.
"Sorry we arrested you. False accusations." He said as he unlocked the cell door.
"You better be. Arresting me for something I didn't do." Chang-Jin said before walking
out of the door. Pulling out his phone, he texted someone.
Hey, I need to talk to you about something. From Chang-Jin.
What about? From Gi-Hwan
The Police. From Chang-Jin.

"Y/N!" Changbin yelled for you as you were sitting in a chair.
"Hm?" You answered back, continuing to read the book you had bought a few days ago,
and hadn't had time to read it until about an hour ago.
"Come here." He said as he got closer to you. As you stood up from your chair, you felt your phone vibrate inside your pocket.
I put the speaker in his car. Chang-Jin is in the car right now, and he might be waiting for someone right now. I'll give you updates when I learn something new. From Ju-Won
Good luck Ju-Won. From Y/n
"Who was that?" Changbin asked you, when you got closer to you.
"That was my co-worker. He's giving me information. Hey Chan?! Is it ok if I bring my
phone onto stage? Ju-Won is going to be texting me." You asked.
"As long as you're not on it the entire show." He said, which you were very grateful for.
"Don't worry, I won't be." You said sitting down in a make-up chair.
"Then yeah that's fine."
"You're the best Chan." You said as Han walked in.
"Showtime is in 10."

"Hey guys, before we get started tonight, I would just like to point out that I seem a little
out of it, I am getting updates for something, and I can't respond late to it. Is that ok?" You asked the crowd as you walked out from behind the stage. They all collectively said yes, as expected, but it still made you feel relieved. You felt your phone vibrate in your pocket, and grabbed it to see a text from Ju-Won.
Hey didn't you say you were in town? From Ju-Won
Yeah I am for a week or so. From Y/n
I think I am across the street from your stadium right now. From Ju-Won
No way that's funny. From Y/n
Alright I have to go now, I hear a second person in the car. From Ju-Won
Good luck. From Y/n
"Is everything ok?" Han asked when he walked over to you .
"Hopefully so. But I have a bad feeling about what's going to happen." You said while
continuing to look at your phone screen to make sure no new messages popped up on your screen.
"What exactly is going on?" Han asked, looking at you.
"The newest person at the station put a speaker in a bad guy's car, and now he's trying to
see if the bad guy isn't telling us everything, but there's a second person in the car." You said, finally putting your phone down on the seat close by.
"Oh no, this can only go down from here, but you'll have to wait and see." Han said,
turning back to the crowd.
"You're right."

Since Ju-Won was listening to Chang-Jin from a speaker, he wouldn't get caught because
his car was all the way across the bridge where no one could see it.
"You need to get the police under control. I was almost arrested last night." Chang-Jin
said. The second voice was familiar to Ju-Won.
"You know I can't. Not when I'm the person who killed all of those people." It was his
father. His FATHER. Ju-Won muttered to himself a 'what...' he listened to the rest of the conversation.
"I'm not going to turn myself in." Gi-Hwan said.

Right in the middle of you performing a song, your phone went off. Luckily you weren't
singing.
"Come pick me up right now." Ju-Won said.
"Right now? I'm in the middle of my show." You said, but Ju-Won was already getting
worked up.
"Yes right now. I know who the killer is, and I don't trust myself being alone right now. I
WILL kill this guy." He said.
"Alright, alright. Give me a second. I'll try to leave the show for a little bit. I'll stay on
the phone, ok?" You said, anything that would work to get him to keep calm enough for you to get to him before he made a move he would later regret.
"CHAN!" You yelled, trying to get his attention.
"HUH?!" He yelled back.
"I need to go. Like right now. I'll be back in like 15-20 minutes." You said, starting to
walk away, but Chan called after you.
"Y/n, we're in the middle of a sho-" He got cut off by you.
"We found the guy and Ju-Won doesn't trust himself being alone." You pleaded. Hearing
Chan sighed, he said, "Keep him backstage. We have an hour and a half left."
"I'll be back as soon as I can."
