"LEE HYEIN!" I shout as I barge through the door to the younger girl's office. 

She quite literally jumps out of her seat and nearly trips over the rubbish bin as she stumbles to the wall. Her eyes are as wide as saucers and her hand is clutching her chest like I'm so terrifying ghost she's seen. I can't tell whether she's  genuinely scared or she's teasing me, because Hyein has the skill of an A list actress. 

But I guess she was actually startled this time, because her eyes soon narrowed into slits as she ran her hand through her hair in frustration. She shoots bullets from her eyes at me as she walks back towards her desk and slumps into her chair. She turns around in the chair like one of those mafia bosses in a crime movie or something.

"What is it old lady?" Hyein asks, a slight shadow of a smirk on her face.

Normally I'd lighten up a little but now I just groan at her antics and shake my head, face palming so hard I'm basically slapping myself. Hyein seems rightfully caught off guard by my reaction as she gets up slowly, approaching me.

"Unnie, what's wrong?" she grabs my hand and removes it from my face. 

Her hardened features soften when she sees...tears? I guess it is because I can feel their haunting warmth running down my face. Damn it, not the time Kim Minji!

Hyein pulls me into a hug, pressing a kiss to my cheek and I squirm a little away from her at that. Geez, this must be Dani's doing. Hyein has been spending too much time around that rizzler. I can't believe in such a serious time like this Hyein's trying to rizz me up!

Nevertheless, I let her hug me, savouring the warmth. But somehow, I want to feel Hanni's arms around me again too. I miss her so much and it hasn't even been that long. 

"Hanni Unnie is missing," Haerin speaks up from behind me. Hyein peeks over my shoulder and catches sight of the cat eyed girl. 

"Oh, you're Dani Unnie's crush," the taller girl exclaims, a wide smirk walking onto her face at the way Haerin becomes a blushing mess. I fight back the urge to face palm myself, how can someone be so blunt?

I gently pull away, my face hardening into a serious stone expression, and Hyein immediately gets the hint, because she crosses her arms and raises her eyebrows in a questioning (almost rizzing) way. 

"I need you to track down this call," I hold up my phone. 

Hyein works at a security firm while Dani works at a fashion company. I fugred Hyein might be able to help me trace the call. The girl looks reluctant, because doing this without the boss requesting such a thing could get her fired. But she takes the phone anyway, giving me a confident nod.

She walks over to her computer, typing furiously as she inspects the number displayed. Her brows furrow and she stops for second, squinting at it as though it's a specimen under a microscope. 

"Are you sure this is the right number?" she turns to me with a confused look in her eyes.

"Mr Park is a traitor, you can listen to the call if you want," I sighed out, irritation laced in my voice.

Hyein only nods, continuing to work on tracking down the location of the call, her eyes diligently scanning the screen as her fingers danced across the keyboard. Haerin is very very fidgety as she sits next to me, and I'm starting to wonder whether I should call Dani to come and comfort her. Or get her to call Dani (I mean, assuming if they have each other's numbers). I decide against it, not wanting to get Dani involved in this shithole. I've already gotten Hyein involved which I really didn't want to, but she's the best at this stuff.
