Leo's p.o.v
"HYUNG! This is your job and you can't do it??" Sanghyuk exclaimed.

"I feel shitty enough Hyuk. Thanks", Ravi droned in annoyance.

I looked at Ravi in confusion, "But how are you not able to track the number?"
"I think it's done by an actual hacker since the signals are from multiple areas", Ravi explained, "But moving on, Leo hyung, is there anyone who would want to hurt you or Nayomi?"

I frowned and shook my head, " Nayomi's parents are high on my list but they wanted this marriage so I doubt it. Besides, they wouldn't have time to do something like this".

"How about Minah?" Hyuk added.

"There is no way she was at my apartment and we never spoke ever since we broke up. I'm sure she got over it", I defended, "Besides, that picture shows Nayomi with a guy."

Ravi groaned, "We're at a dead end, but we need to speak with Hongbin as well".
"I tried to contact him but he left on a two-week trip with his girlfriend Hae-ryung. He said he can meet with us after he's back", Sanghyuk said.

I didn't want to wait two weeks. I needed to apologize to Nayomi but I didn't know how to say it. I didn't have the guts to even face my wife. And so, I hid myself away and focused on work to get my mind off of things.

...
2 weeks later..
"Hey... Why is everyone gathered here?" Hongbin asked as he stepped into Ravi's apartment. We were sitting on couches. And Hongbin joined us after placing his phone and keys on the table in front of him.

"An incident took place right before you left and we are trying to figure things out", I replied.

"Um how can I help?" Hongbin asked.
"Besides Sanghyuk and Nayomi, you were at the apartment", Ravi stated, "Did you ever see anyone else there?"

"Nope? Was there a robbery or something", Hongbin asked innocently.

"Yeah a robbery of my faith", I muttered. I was weary about all of this and doubted we'd ever find the culprit.

"Moving on, did Nayomi seem strange to you at any time?" Ravi asked impatiently.

"Uh I don't know. I don't really know her that well", Hongbin said hesitantly.

"But you spend like five days with hyung!" Sanghyuk complained, "Was she distant or anything?"

"No he seemed normal--".
Then Hongbin's phone rang and I saw the name on the screen.

"Why are talking to Minah?" .

"I didn't know your exes were off limits", Hongbin nervously chuckled.

Sanghyuk frowned, "But you're with Hae-ryung".

"That's none of your business", Hongbin replied.

"Well can you let me know of anything unusual?" Ravi asked.

"None that I particularly recall", Hongbin replied.

"Wait!" Sanghyuk exclaimed, "I remember Minah leaving the building once when I was coming back from my job!"

Everyone looked at Hongbin who maintained his poker face. "I wouldn't have been at your place when she came over then".

I sighed; back to square one.
We thanked Hongbin for his time and Ravi told me to ask Minah about her visit.

...
"Don't pretend. Sanghyuk saw you. Just tell me what you were doing there", I said.

My ex-girlfriend looked unsure before spilling. "Okay fine, I was at your apartment. Happy?"
