[ENGLISH VERSION] SEVENTEEN: Code One | SeokSoo

Chapter 8

"Why you didn't report Taehyung and Jihyun right away?" Joshua said.

"Finding evidence of a crime in the toilet isn't as easy as you think. There's no CCTV in there. The closest CCTV only captures anyone who goes in and out of the toilet. I'm afraid that the CCTV evidence outside the toilet won't be enough to convict them because there's no clear evidence that they attacked you." Wonwoo said.

Wonwoo's words were also right.

"But, how did Dokyeom know that Taehyung was the culprit? He said that he and Mingyu had avenged me on Taehyung." Joshua muttered.

"You ask Dokyeom yourself about that. Aren't you guys in the same room?" Wonwoo said.

"Oh, that's right... Dokyeom once said he would behead the person who ordered Taehyung to do this to me."

"That means he'll behead Jihyun after this. I didn't expect him to do something this excessive."

"Who is Kook Jihyun exactly?"

"Kook Jihyun that I know is his (Dokyeom) past's best friend. Jihyun is very protective of his past. Whatever hurts her best friend, Jihyun will beat them all up. She is very stubborn and dares to do anything, whether it is good or bad."

"Why did she do this to me? Is it because I share a room with Dokyeom? I didn't try to do anything weird with her. We are just normal friends, nothing more..." Joshua said, his last sentence a little hesitant.

"I don't know what's on her mind, but it seems like she thinks that you have touched on Dokyeom's past position. That's why she did this."

"I came here for a good purpose. They think too shallowly about my appearance. Gosh..."

"You better go to the park or do something fun after this. You look stressed because of this case. You need to get some healing."

"Yeah, that's right. Thank you for being cooperative and restoring my memory. It seems like seeing Kook Jihyun made my brain choked."

"Maybe because you're traumatized. Don't think about this case anymore. What's important is that you've recovered and know who the perpetrator is. Dokyeom and Mingyu have even helped you."

"Yeah... Hehe..."

•••

There is no Chemistry class today, so Joshua chose to get some fresh air while sitting on a park bench near the basketball court.

"Joshua!"

Joshua turned to the source of the voice. His smile immediately widened when he saw his childhood friend approaching him.

"Soonyoung, hey!" Joshua greeted him.

"Joshua, I'm sorry I couldn't help you at that time." Hoshi said as he sat next to Joshua.

"It's okay. What's important is that I'm fine now."

"Oh, yeah. Do you like sharing a room with Dokyeom? Are there any things that make you feel strange there?"

"I like it. Dokyeom takes good care of me."

"That's good... I don't have to worry about you anymore, right?"

Joshua chuckled when he heard that sentence. Joshua remembered when he was little, Hoshi was the one who took care of Joshua when he was bullied by his friends. That's why Hoshi always gave Joshua a worried look.

"I know you as a very careless person. You didn't destroy Dokyeom's things in your room, right?" Hoshi said.

"Of course not! You're being excessive. I prefer to be careless in my behavior." Joshua said.
