CHAPTER THIRTY ONE: Private Investigation.

˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡˚

— KIM TAERAE

"Okay I found out something really fucking odd," After continuously pacing back and forth in front of Taerae, Hanbin stopped to face the boy with his fists balled up. "Promise not to tell anyone?"

He wasn't so sure sharing this information would be greatest success – it included something that no one close to them had ever thought of yet. Maybe a few weeks ago this was a popular theory amongst the media, but it was quickly forgotten and no one mentioned it again. However after today, that would clearly change.

Taerae was beyond confused but nodded anyway, watching as Hanbin's normally laidback personality changed drastically to something intimidating. "This is about the case, I'm guessing." Taerae noticed how serious Hanbin seemed, and obviously he was since he called him over for something urgent.

He had been too busy with trying to get Yunmi out of the room that he had accidentally not paid much attention to the case. Even after talking to Gyuvin's parents, nothing seemed significant as of recently. Now the two boys were locked in a room in their new house, making sure none of the other boys come in.

"I know who did it." Hanbin said quietly, making sure only Taerae could hear it. "I know who killed Yejun." He then lifted a phone from his pocket, it recognisably being Yejun's phone that's been passed around this whole time. "I found this in Yejun's mother's room... again."

"Yeah, and?" Taerae raised a brow. "We know the parents are the most suspicious, but I don't think the phone will prove anything..."

"I know, but besides that I know someone who's definitely involved who we haven't questioned yet." The older boy sighed and unlocked the phone before handing it to Taerae. "Read these messages."

Taerae took Yejun's phone into his hands and began to read the conversation that looked like it was supposed to be deleted. Even after reading the contact name, a shiver ran down his spine.
