A few days later...

There's a knock on my door just as we sit down for breakfast. I get up and answer. Two men in police uniforms are waiting outside.

"Are you Miss (y/f/n)?" they ask.

"Yes," I answer.

"According to his parents, you were the last one to see Lee Jaehwan before he went missing five days ago."

"He went home to take a shower about three days ago. He's been here ever since."

"We need to see him ma'am," one informs.

"Of course officer, come on in," I tell them, opening the door, "He's right there in the kitchen."

They come in.

"Are your parents home?"

"No, my mom's dead and my dad is away on a business trip, he'll be coming back tomorrow."

They nod and enter the kitchen, but then immediately draw their guns.

"What are you doing?!" I cry.

"Ma'am, would you care to explain why the dead body of Lee Jaehwan is in your house?"

"What?!"
