Detective Jisoo's POV
The Accused suspect—Noey, is dead.
And what the heck is with the sunglasses?
"They said she usually wears sunglasses because her eyes are hypersensitive to light. Cause of death ; strangulation." Inspector Jack said.
"How about the murder weapon?."
He then pointed at what one of the forensic team was holding.
"A strand of hair?."
"It could be. Or it could be a wig. We still need lab results for that." He said.

Kade's POV
AT NAM'S FUNERAL
Saint burst out crying the moment he saw Nam in the coffin, when Heng suddenly showed me a news notification he got.
Noey's dead
"B-but how? And who?." I said with heavy breaths.
"It says here that she was strangled inside her dorm room. Her roommates found her body at 6 AM this morning after they went to the shower. There are no suspects yet." He explained.
For a moment I suddenly realized and moved further away from him.
"Tsk seriously? You're still suspecting me?." He said.
"Why not?. You've been acting weird lately a-and I tried to call you at 6 but your Mom answered, she said you left earlier this morning."
"Yeah 'cause I went out for a run. W-wait you called?. Y-you talked to Mom?." He said in a bit angry tone.
"Well, she answered it."
"Why'd you call me at that hour anyway?." He said.
"To tell you that Freen tried tl call me last night and I haven't had a blink of sleep. You need to see her Heng or else she'll suspect--"
"But Aunt Nun said Freen is not fine yet, that she still hasn't retrieve her memories. She's still confused." Heng said.
"I don't care, just do something. Her father will die anytime soon and you have to get Freen's YES as soon as possible."
SILENCE
His expression suddenly shifted and just walked away, but I followed him until we got near his car.
"Heng, stop please--"
"Did you really love me or just using me to get into her father's pockets?." He seriously said.
"H-Heng--"
"You know I don't really mean to hurt Freen. But I am about to because you told me so. I did everything you want me to Kade, even if it has to mean to hurt other people who did nothing but treat me like a human being, that I'm worthy. She even gave up her friendship with Becky for me for goodness sake! Years of friendship!." Heng said.
"Oh come on Heng, you think Freen is that stupid? Tsk. For all we know she's been seeing that 'friend' of hers behind our backs, or worse boinking her. The point is, she's not as good as she seems. Tsk I can't believe you just fall for that. Well, you really are stupid after all." I told him.
"Not anymore, because we're over."
"W-wait, what did you just say?." I said with furrowed eyebrows.
"You heard me, we're over Kade. Goodbye. Goodluck about your gold digging scheme." He said as he slammed the door the moment he get into his old *ss car and left.
Tsk that bastard! I can't believe he just dumped me like that.

Freen's POV
AT THE OFFICE
"I know it took a while but I think it's time for you to finally know the truth." Dr. M said as she held my hand.
"Truth?."
"The call I had moments ago was from a police officer investigating about the recent crimes in your neighborhood." She said.
"Robbery?." I asked.
"No Freen, murder. And unfortunately, 3 of the victims were your friends."
It's starting to make sense now. That's probably why Mom forbids me to see the news but,
"W-who died?."
"Becky, Nam and Noey."
"W-wait, did you just say--no! You're bluffing! N-none of them are dead!. Is this a prank?! I swear!." I started crying and my breathing became heavier and heavier.
"No! B-Becky, Nam, Noey--Beckyyy--" I cried.
"I'm sorry." She tried to hug me to calm me down.
"Nooo, they're not dead. Beckyyy--"

Yuki's POV
I only get to see Noey for the last time when I arrived at the morgue. I begged my parents to let me go to the crime scene but they didn't allow me.
Whoever did this to Noey, I swear.
First is Becky, now Nam and Noey. What did my friends do to that freakin' killer whoever that bastard is for him or her to do this?!.
"Yuki, let's go." Dad said.
"But--"
"No buts, let's go!." Mom said.
So, we left. Later on Noey's family came. I can see that they just got from the airport.

Detective Jisoo's POV
(...)
Okay, thank you. That really helped.
(...)
Yes, bye.
End of call.
"Seems like good news." I told Inspector Jack.
"Not sure about that. Anyways, Becky's parents had collected 23M dollars insurance money out of Becky's alleged death." He said.
"W-why? W-what will they do with that money? I mean you said it yourself, they own a booming business."
"Exactly." He said.
"O-oh. I don't get it." I honestly said.
