"Could I please have a small latte?" I smiled politely at the cashier.

"Sure, would you like anything else?" She smiled back.

"No that's all, thank you."

"No worries, that will be 3328.72 won." I quickly dug into my purse to pull out the correct amount of money and handed it to the cashier. "Thank you, here is your number, your latte will be with your shortly." She handed me a number plate and receipt, I thanked her before taking a seat down at a three seater booth. It was way too hot to be drinking coffee today but at least it will wake me up.

"Did you have to wait long?" I hear a male voice inquire. I look up and smiled whilst shaking my head 'no.' One quiet tall, with slightly faded purple dyed hair, holding a charming smile whereas the other a smaller built and navy hair, hands on his pockets with a tired expression.

"No, I just sat down, have you two ordered yet?" They nodded their heads 'no' in reply. "Go an order."

"You know my usual?" Namjoon asked before turning his gaze from me to Yoongi.

"Yep, I'll be right back." Yoongi tiredly replied before slowly making his way to the cashier.

"Hey Namjoon, long time no see." I chuckled.

"Yeah I am sorry about that, work has been a handful." He nervously laughed before taking a seat next to me in the booth.

"Tell me about it, I am glad we at least get this time off to spend some time catching up." I chirped. Namjoon nodded in agreement before scanning the room and gesturing me to bend over so he could talk quietly.

"So why did you call Yoongi and me, you were pretty secretive on the phone this morning." He whispered into my ear. I grinned slightly before we both sat up straight again.

"Calm down, all will be explained when Yoongi gets back." 

"Your latte miss?" I turned and smiled at the waiter and he returned a kind smile before placing my coffee down on the table.

"Thank you." I carefully lifted up the coffee cup before blowing slightly onto the steaming hot liquid, afraid of burning myself. I took a small sip and wince from the temperature before placing it back down on the table again.

"Hot?" Yoongi frowned with amusement.

"Maybe.." I trailed off before we both chuckled.

"So spill, why do you need us here?" Namjoon spoke in a hurried tone. 

"Especially the both of us." Yoongi exaggerated. I took a deep breath before beginning the start of the story.

"Namjoon, you remember how I mentioned the suicide case in 1997 on the phone this morning?" I reminded. Namjoon nodded, confirming my inquiry but Yoongi remained puzzled.

"Are you two talking about the case which as SOLVED over ten years ago." He blatantly pointed out.

"Yes that is correct, now stick with me~." 

"Ten years ago." Yoongi repeated.

"Yes ten years ago, now what I am about to tell you is~."  I begin to explain only to be cut off by Yoongi again.

"You called us or me here to talk about a case solved ten years ago?" Yoongi repeated yet again in a tone of disbelief.

"YES, what don't you get?" I sighed in frustration. I was beginning to become frustrated with Yoongi's persistent questions as I could not speak.

"A case which was solved ten years ago, Namjoon dragged me out here when I was on my lunch break for~." Before he could get another word in I slapped my hand in front of his mouth, preventing any more questions being asked. Namjoon and I hear him muffle in annoyance before I turned my gaze to face him, a clearly annoyed glare plastered on my face.
