"it literally just says 'you', i don't see the big deal." hyeongseop rolled his eyes, slapping the paper down on the table.

"no drawing?" kiwon questioned setting down the file he had been reading, "did you get a print of the x-ray?"

hyeongseop snorted, shrugging. "no drawing, and of course i didn't get a print of the x-ray, you never told me to, so i didn't."

kiwon narrowed his eyes, leaning back against the counter, arms crossed over his chest. "hyeongseop, can i ask you a question? are you in relations to our murderer? you're awfully unconcerned about it."

hyeongseop's eyes went comically wide, and he backed away from the older boy. "o-of course not! this is just a lot of work."

kiwon made sure his expression stayed uninterested so it scared the bunny looking boy. "you wanted this job and should be prepared to do a lot of work."

"fuck you and your accusations," hyeongseop suddenly snapped, "who gives you the right to interrogate me?"

"why jinyoung?" taemin asked curiously, looking at the slightly taller boy next to him, grabbing jinyoung's hand sweetly.

jinyoung looked terrified that all the attention was suddenly landed upon himself, and he yanked his hand out of taemin's grip. "i didn't do anything... it's just all these accusations are making me uncomfortable."

jaewoo smiled and leaned over to seongri, whispering into the elder's ear, initiating wonders throughout the room. seongri took a quick glance at jinyoung, then whispered back to jaewoo, their low voices heard but not deciphered.

"jinyoung, if you're being threatened by the killer, just let us know," jaewoo told the big eyed boy casually, "you won't be killed, we'll save you."

jinyoung diverted his eyes away from jaewoo quickly, putting his hands behind his back. "i'm not being threatened or anything. just mind your own business..."

jaewoo shrugged. "have it your way, then. when are the apprentices arriving? i feel like we've all spent too much time hanging about."

"they should be coming any minute now," taehyun told them, leaning against the wall, his nose still tinged red, "minhyun never specified but i guess it's around three boys."

"that's good," samuel commented, "three can form their own unit and do their own investigations."

"three also means three new, developing minds being brought into the world of justice that we're assigned to train." taemin reasoned intelligently, brushing dark hair out of his face.

"instead of getting new trainees, minhyun should've just called back dongsu and namhyung," taehyun sighed, "they're our best officers."

"they could provide the money for actual high end investigating materials too," samuel informed.

the door opened suddenly and everyone's heads turned, prepared to welcome the newcomers, but instead it was donghan, a wide smile on his face. "guys, i finally finished my exams and passed!"

"your stupid ass passed?!" taehyun asked incredulously, his eyes wide. donghan snorted, his bottom lip jutted out.

"taehyunie," donghan whined, "if you passed, certainly i would as well!"

"you guys are like tom and jerry," taemin remarked with a loud laugh, "stop jabbing at each other for a few seconds."

"donghan, you are updated on the current cases, correct?" samuel inquired, "i would assume you are."

donghan turned to the smaller boy and nodded, his hair flopping. "of course, i can't be slacking on my job. i've also had time to analyze the cases, if you would care to hear of the conclusions i've made."

shihyun grinned at donghan, visibly more comfortable and at ease around the tall boy. "any opinions are a contribution to the case, there really hasn't been much at all."

"well, first of all, it's a dead-set fact that hyunbin contributed to at least one of the murders and knows the killer. where is he, by the way? he's the next to be killed."

daniel believed he knew the three males that entered the club - one was insanely tall, another with a striking tattoo on his collarbone, the last short with stubble lining his sharp jaw. hyunbin, longguo, and rikimu, the trio of insanely intelligent males that dropped out of college due to personal issues that people highly suspected was drugs.

rikimu separated the quickest from the other two, his perverted self instantly shooting off to where the strippers performed, his eyes curling.

longguo seemed apprehensive, oddly enough, stalking off to the bathroom for whatever reason it called for. hyunbin watched his two shorter friends go away, then he speedily went away to one of the private rooms, many eyes trailing after his form, especially with his model-like face and strikingly tall form.

daniel was intrigued, but at the same time he didn't care. he turned back to the bar counter, swirling the contends of his shot in his hand, eyes watching the liquid's movements. if he wasn't as intoxicated as he was, he would've jumped as a hand clapped onto his shoulder.

instead of jumping, daniel just turned his head to stare at whoever bothered him. his eyes met hyunbin's, who seemed more nervous than he had mere seconds ago.

"h-hey, daniel! you remember me, right? i'm kwon hyunbin, we were in college together!"

"of course i remember you, you're a face that's impossible to forget. why do you suddenly want to talk to me? you never spoke to me before."

"i-uh, i just wanted to speak to you at least once, you seem like a nice person?"

hyunbin's tone was weird and it came off as a question. daniel shrugged, tearing his gaze away from the taller boy's intoxicating visuals. "i guess, that's a stupid reason though."

"weeell, actually, i've been working at a brewery recently and i thought it would be nice if you could taste test one of my drinks, you seem experienced with your alcohol."

"i'm really not, but i can help anyway if you want, i don't have anything to do for quite a while."

hyunbin smiled, a reluctant but somehow relieved smile. "okay! give me a few minutes and i'll go get that drink for you."

the apprentices never showed up, yet another delay as the university decided this day was the right time to pack students' schedules high with classes spread throughout the day.

donghan headed back to his dorm with his friend daehyun, the youngest police unit all headed out to visit eunki minus jihoon, who didn't return, the detectives went to their hotel, while taehyun trudged off to his peaceful home.

he opened the door to his house slowly, not wishing to alarm his boyfriend, although taehyun knew very well that sungwoon would be sat at the kitchen table as he was every night, scrolling through his phone, waiting for his loved one to safely return from work.

the door, a faulty one, creaked even at taehyun's immaculate care to make it not. sungwoon threw down his phone on the kitchen table and ran to the doorway, racing into taehyun's open arms.

"i'm always so glad to see you're okay," sungwoon told him, his voice muffled in taehyun's shirt, pulling away, "how was your day?"

taehyun jokingly pinched sungwoon's cheek while hanging his jacket. "you're so cute, baby. now, remember yoon jisung?"

what role does sungwoon play?

is hyunbin the murderer?
