_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

It smelt like the fire was burning magnolias, Minho thought as he gracefully shielded himself from landing, but was caught on Hyunjin's arms, "are you fine? You're not hurt right?"

He fluttered his eyes open, he didn't care as long as he had the evidence and data, they could just either start anew and get this bitch ass of a work done.

"Y-yes, just go!" I shouted at him as we both started running when the fire was spreading and heading to the area where everyone and the fire department was at, Minho couldn't process anything, how could another person come and wreck their building just like that? Who the fuck are they to do it?

He smelt the aroma in the air, sweet magnolia, it was just like his perfume.

Like his perfume..

He then suddenly remembered..

When Minho was done checking everything intact before taking his turn to jump once the fire spreads, he saw a figure just at the end and outside of the laboratory, it was broad, tall and looked like smirking at him in victory.

Minho tilted his head once he saw the figure in black, unfortunately, before he wasted no time jumping from the burning building, he watched as the fire came to die down as the fire rescuers came, checking everyone if they were okay.

"Hyunjin, is everything alright?" Seungmin hurriedly went over to them, Hyunjin seemed to form a small blush, "yes we are fine, what about you are you hurt?" He asked, it took a few minutes before Seungmin shook his head with a no.

They both nodded and helped the other team while Minho was still in a paralyzed shock and fear, his figure and stance reminded him too much of his lover, he shook his head and clutched the ground beneath him, of course not, silly questions from his brain.

But then, why was the whole building now smelled like burnt magnolia, he didn't understand it.

It's like everyday it smells like fresh blooms of magnolia.

He got the courage to stand up and went to The ambulance to check his bruises and health from the fire they just endured, he saw Felix, Jeongin and Changbin, and he quickly went to them, "are you guys alright?" He asked.

They all nodded and cleaned themselves up, Minho still has this guy feeling that something was not right at all.

"How did our building got burned by a fucking fire? It's so rare for that to happen as we gave firearms" he told them, they all nodded in agreement, "plus, it's harder to get in the building to have creat such scene?"

"Maybe they had a device of some sort?" Changbin suggested, "or they've been through the place and know where and when to creat this arsonic thing" Felix came up, "those are possible" Minho told them and gave them a reassuring smile, "I'll talk to the others about this"

As Minho went towards the others, his mind wouldn't wonder off about the black figure and th smell of magnolias earlier, why is it so fucking familiar to him?

"Hey, you guys are you guys alright?" Now he asked Hyunjin, Chan and Seungmin, "yeah we're good" Chan replied as he puts the last remaining bandages to Seungmin, "can I excuse Seungmin for a second?"

The three looked at each other and nodded, Seungmin and Minho went into a more secluded area, "did you notice anything earlier? A smell? A figure? Something that was too off to be there?"

Seungmin thought about it for the moment, "I smell a faint magnolia scent before getting out, nothing more" he shook his head, Minho clasped both of his hands together and sighed anxiously, "I saw a black figure at the end of the hallway, then the magnolia scent got even stronger"

"What does the black figure look like?" Seungmin grabbed his notebook and started scribbling, "I don't know, he was in an all black attire, his demeanor and posture though is very calm and formal..? I'm not quite sure" Minho said.

"Great. Will have to do something with this piece of information" Seungmin sighed before putting it back to his notebook, he rested his hand on Minho's shoulder, "I'll go check on the rest, you can go to the building" he smiled before leaving him.

Minho crossed his arms to make himself calm down, should he tell Jisung what happened and the events of it? Or maybe he can just lay low for now.

He quickly went back to the building, checking every area, it smelt like ashes and it was sure enough that he needed to cough, as he investigated further and took the other documents, the faint smell of magnolias were gone.

"Lee Minho" he heard a voice, he turned around and was startled to see that it was the Chief, "yes Chief?" He asked.

"The limit for you to find out who J.one is will be now reduced to 5 days which means you have 1 month and 26 days to complete this case" he told him, Minho was shocked to say the least, he doesn't have enough evidence on who J.one is.

He sucked in a sharp breath before sighing again, "yes Chief" he said before they left the building.
