Death Note |Hyunlix|

~Suspect~

No-ones POV-

The room was filled with an uncomfortable silence as the last of the officers filed out, leaving only a handful of determined individuals behind. Seungmin, Minho, Felix's father, Jisung, Chan, and Changbin sat around a cluttered table, the remnants of their earlier lunch still visible amidst the scattered case files and coffee cups. The air was thick with tension and unease, each person aware that the stakes had never been higher.

"This isn't just another case," Seungmin said, glancing around at the others. "Criminals are getting murdered, and now we're hearing whispers about possible suspects. This demands our full attention."

Mr.Lee shook his head, disbelief etched into his features. "We can't afford to jump to conclusions based on speculation. We need solid evidence before we make accusations."

The phone rang suddenly, cutting through the mounting tension in the room. It was a private number, but they all recognized the distinctive tone associated with L from their previous encounters.

"Hello?" Minho answered, his voice steady despite the nerves tingling in his stomach.

"I see there are only six of you left," L's voice came through the receiver, calm yet authoritative. "I want to meet all of you. Go to the Stray Kids hotel, and meet me at room 143."

Minho raised an eyebrow, exchanging glances with the others. "Wait, all of us? This is unexpected. Why now?"

"You'll understand once you arrive," L replied, his tone leaving no room for further questions. "Time is of the essence. Hurry."

After hanging up, Minho shared the news with the others, and a mix of confusion and apprehension washed over the group. "We need to head over to the hotel now," Minho urged. "If L has information, we can't afford to ignore it."

As they gathered their things, Han voiced a concern. "Do we trust him? L has been operating outside standard procedure. What if he has his own agenda?"

Minho shook his head. "We've seen what he's capable of. L has always been one step ahead, and we trust him to lead us in the right direction."

The drive to the hotel was fraught with tension, each man lost in his thoughts, anxieties swirling about what L might reveal. The overcast night sky matched their mood, and the flickering street lights cast eerie shadows across their faces as they pulled into the hotel parking lot.

Once inside, they took the elevator to the designated floor, the atmosphere thick with anticipation. When they arrived at the room, Hyunjin stood by the window, his back turned to them, seemingly lost in thought.

"Thanks for coming," he said without turning around, the calmness in his voice both unsettling and intriguing.

Minho couldn't help but feel the weight of the moment. "Can we at least see your face?" he challenged, stepping forward. "You can't expect us to trust you completely if you're hiding from us."

Hyunjin turned slowly, revealing his features. A collective gasp echoed in the room as they took in his youthful appearance—his long red hair framing a face that looked no older than twenty-four. He carried an air of confidence that was striking yet unnerving.

"I'm Hyunjin also known as L," he introduced, his voice steady. "I have information that could help us all."

Jeongin, sitting beside his older brother, shifted uncomfortably. He had seen this side of Hyunjin before—his brother was enigmatic, often operating in shadows. "Hyun, we've been through this before," he said quietly, glancing at the group. "They need to know what you're really after."
