3 - Bloody Mary

<Choi Mansion>

"Uh oh-" Hoshi welped as he bumbed into a particular someone at the entrance of the mansion, "Are you okay?"

The other man nodded, "Mr. Kwon Soonyoung aka Hoshi?"

"You know me?" Hoshi gasped.

"Dr. Lee Jihoon. Woozi." He put forward his hand, "I'm Dr. Yoon's assistant, so of course, I know everyone related to this case."

"Dr. Yoon? Oh is a psychiatric already appointed for Seungcheol hyung?" Hoshi asked.

"You don't know?" Woozi asked.

"I knew that he was about to get a therapist but didn't know so deeply." Hoshi nodded, "There are restrictions for me, so yeah."

"Restrictions?" Woozi frowned.

"Yeah." Hoshi paused, "You know what he is charged for. And being someone who claims that he's innocent, would have restrictions, of course."

"So you believe that he's innocent." Woozi looked at him.

"Always did." Hoshi sternly stated, "And no one can change my mind over this."

"Why are you so confident over this?" Woozi questioned, "All the proofs were against him. The weapon had his fingerprints. He was at the crime scene first and foremost, all drenched in blood, with the weapon in his own hands."

"But none of it says that he was there when the actual crime happened." Hoshi scoffed, "And I would rather trust him than the people who passed judgements for money."

"You can't throw shade at the system like this Mr. Kwon." Woozi hesitantly intervened.

"I'm not generalising it." Hoshi paused, "I'm simply talking about this particular case where everything is wrong."

Woozi nodded, "I hope we'll get to know the truth soon."

"Anyways-" Hoshi looked at him up and down, "You don't look like you would be a psychiatrist at all."

Woozi frowned, "How so?"

"Like-" Hoshi grinned wickedly, "Aren't you too adorable for these mind games?"

Woozi chuckled, the corners of his lips twitching upward "Perhaps you're simply not observant enough". He leaned forward, resting his chin on his knuckles. "I can assure you, looks can be deceiving"

"Of course they can be." Hoshi stepped closer, "You know what Dr. Lee? My task here, is to keep all these appointed therapists and lawyers away from hyung as no one is possibly going to do the justice he deserves.

I heard he's good with dealing the main therapist. How about I get to deal with you?"

Woozi raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by Hoshi's demeanor. "Oh? So you've been appointed as his unofficial bodyguard then?" He chuckled, crossing his arms across his chest

He looked at him with an almost amused smile. "And what do you plan to do? Intimidate me out of the case?"

Hoshi laughed lightly, taking another step closer, "Not at all. I don't think intimidating a psychiatrist is my cup of tea. And we don't make people run away from here, Dr. Lee. Our aim is to gain some puppets because our opposition already has many."

Woozi observed closely as Hoshi moved forward, his gaze sharpening slightly. "Ah, puppets. You guys are aiming high, aren't you?" He tilted his head with a bemused smile, "And why do you assume I'll become one of your 'puppets'?"

"You will." Hoshi whispered, "And you won't even know."

"Cocky, aren't we?" Woozi took a step closer, closing the remaining gap between them. "What makes you so sure I won't know?"
