"In these three years, there have been thirteen murders in this town. And that includes the death of a famous singer Jeon Jungkook, Chinese painter Xu Minghao and Canadian actor Mark Lee. All of those were done in the same way and on the same day of each year. Their eyes were plucked out, their skin was scrapped out and..."

The guy reading out the report paused for a moment, drawing everyone's attention towards him.

"Then?"

The Chief Executive of Crime Bureau raised an eyebrow.

"Then he chops off his victim's dick which results him to die due to excessive blood loss."

The guy wearing a suit and glasses spoke up.

"My husband was one of the victims, Chief."

The Chief Executive let out a deep sigh.

"Mr.Kim, I know you're very upset since your husband was the latest victim but you need to understand, we need to take actions logically, not emotionally."

Taehyung let out a sarcastic chuckle.

"I'm the husband of Jeon Jungkook, that serial killer murdered the love of my life so brutally and I COULD DO NOTHING!! In fact no one in this whole fucking room could! At least I tried? But people here for some reason are so inefficient! I made a fucking promise to my husband while putting him into that casket that no matter what happens, I'll find his murderer but this department sucks! "

"And he is the prime suspect of this whole case, Chief."

Another guy from the corner spoke, his eyes glaring into Taehyung's.

"He's the head of the CBI and has tempered with the evidences multiple times. How can he find the killer but never arrest him? Or maybe he's the infamous psycho killer who

"Are you being fucking serious, Hong? That's my husband and why would I -"

But before Taehyung could finish his words, Mr.Song spoke.

"Mr.Hong is absolutely right, Mr.Kim. Even though we can understand you have lost your husband and you're in grief, we just can't risk anyone else's life at any cost. The pressure on us is getting more and more dense."

"Ridiculous!"

Taehyung mumbled through his gritted teeth.

"Might be for you, Mr.Kim, but for us it's not!"

Taehyung frowned, he seemed confused and clueless.

"Pardon?"

"I said being the head of the department which is supposed to protect people and still committing so many murders might be ridiculous for you? Your rank, your position might be ridiculous for you but for us it's not! We have always fought for justice and even this time, we will! Even if we have to drag you down to the prison!"

"Enough, both of you!"

Both Taehyung and Joshua were silenced by the older man's roar.

"Sir,we have been working on this case for three years now!If the CBI can't solve this mystery,nobody can!"

Taehyung's coworker Hoseok said in this defence.

"But we have to?Because we can't let a serial killer roam around like that and pick his next victim,right?"

The tall goofy looking guy rose up from his seat beside Joshua.

"Then what are you suggesting, Kim Mingyu?"

"We need the Choi couple here, they are the only ones who can do this. They are known to be the best investigators of all time,they'll definitely solve it asap!"

The Chief Executive slowly nodded in agreement.

"The murder cases are still unresolved and the serial killer is still out there roaming freely, this might be a threat to common people. But seems like no one here can solve these cases. So without any further risks, the Crime Bureau is handing over this couple to our best investigators, Choi couple."

"We couldn't solve it after so much effort and you think they'll solve it, Chief? If your insufferable employees helped me a bit, then I would have easily caught that bastard by now."

Taehyung fummed out of anger.

"And since Kim Taehyung is a prime suspect of these murders, the Crime Bureau is suspending him from his position and all the investigation until he's proven innocent."

Mischievous smirk glided over Joshua's lips, he got what he wanted.

"Till then the assistant head Lee Seokmin will be handling his position."

The guy with a sharp jawline and big doe eyes looked up at the Chief Executive and immediately nodded.

When exactly are you coming up?

Evelyn was out to eat Korean barbecue at a very nice and familiar restaurant near Apgujeong Rodeo Station, called Samwon Garden Restaurant. She's been there before and it is always a nice experience. The gathering is supposed to happen at around 7pm, so she has got plenty of time as it is just 3pm. She planned to meet Jeonghan at his hotel, just like everyone else. He was staying at the
Imperial Palace Seoul, near the Hakdong station. It was quite far from your place in Hongdae, indeed, but with a simple 1-hour train ride she would be able to meet him with no further problems. Hongdae was quite more your style. No pressure, no etiquette, just being herself and doing her own thing. As for Jeonghan, he had to stay wherever was best for his working routine. But that never stopped Evelyn from seeing each other whenever she felt like doing so. She check your phone and answer the eager boy:

I thought we had planned to meet you there by around 7 pm and go straight to the restaurant. Is
that right?

In no time he just replied:

Yeah, those are the plans... But, are you busy? I thought you could come a little earlier maybe... So
we could spend some time alone before everyone else arrives.

How early exactly?

Evelyn asked.

For me? Right now lol But if you can't make it I'll understand and we can leave everything as it's been previously set up, no problem.

Evelyn couldn't help but laugh at how impatient he was but was doing his best to fake some self-control.

It's ok, I can go earlier. But do you mind if I take my things and get ready at your place, then? Because it's so early, I will not do any make up now to have a melted face by the time we actually leave for dinner.

Evelyn explained.

You don't need any makeup, but of course you can get ready at mine. Bring your stuff. I'll be waiting for you.

He said, lovingly.

Alright then. I'm leaving in twenty minutes. But chill out. You know it's a long ride.

Evelyn lightly made fun of him.

I'll count on the seconds.

He replied seriously. So on, Evelyn gathered the courage to get out of bed and have a shower. She got your chosen outfit for the night and some simple makeup products, since she doesn't get to wear it much because of her work even though she loves it. Evelyn put on an average pair of trousers and a plain white buttoned t-shirt. She slipped her feet into a pair of black high heel boots, the same ones she'll be wearing at night, checked her hair in the mirror and decided to tie it up with a hair band. It looked ok, but to make it looked a little better she decided to also wear a hair scarf. And then... she was good to go.

Ok so let's start Limerence now💀.
