The Pitter-patter of the rain against the window echoed through the apartment. Occasional thunder did no good either. Jungkook moved slowly with his phone in one hand to the living room. At a distance he could make out a gliding shadow seated by the coffee table with a dim lit rechargeable lamp. Relieved by the sight he walked towards the other. "I'm seriously considering to hand cuff you."
Taehyung looked up at the other, merely visible in the low light. "Since the power was gone, I couldn't sleep. I didn't want to wake you up." Taehyung got back to the papers he was looking at.
"I thought you escaped, ran away from me. I was about to inform the department." Jungkook sat down opposite side of the coffee table. "I'm not insane Jungkook-ssi. I'm a police officer—well not by designation now but at least by blood I still am."
Jungkook sighed softly. "Alright, I believe you. However if you dare to run away, I swear I'm gonna kill you."
"Haha, why? You want to be in prison as well? Taehyung shook his head laughing at the other's expression.
"Hmm if it means getting my mental peace back then yes, I would gladly go." Jungkook smirked. Taehyung rolled his eyes "whatever."
"So what were you doing?" Jungkook looked at the papers in front of Taehyung.
"Plotting my next murder. Oh too bad I'm not married to you. I only kill my partners you know." Taehyung teased the younger again.

"Gosh...you are seriously an annoying as$hole. I wonder how your wife put up with you." Jungkook tried to make fun but Taehyung's smile instantly fell as he lowered his head mumbling to himself, "maybe that's why she didn't love me anymore."
Although Jungkook didn't hear what the other told, he felt guilty about it. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to put it like that."
"No, it's okay. You are right."
Jungkook clears his throat and took the papers from Taehyung. He saw few scribbles here and there, nothing he could figure out. "What's this?"
"I'm trying to dig out anything common with these victims or their husbands but from the available information, I couldn't find anything. Well I'm not sure if it's the killer's pattern but all I could figure out was that all the victims had slow death, like as if the killer wanted them to suffer, repent the sins they committed." Taehyung rubs his temple in frustration.
"Maybe we should meet the husbands." Jungkook suggested. "No, it's better to follow them in shadow first. To check if they are hiding something." Jungkook nodded at the other's suggestion.

"Ha...now you really look like a criminal." Jungkook laughed as Taehyung came out from the room.
