Days have passed and your lessons and knowledge regarding the Korean culture are improving, thanks to your tutor. Namjoon wasn't even hiding the fact that he was surprised by how you improved quickly. He was clearly impressed with your progress and knew you had potential, so he decided to spice things up. He told you that he was going to give you a long test in your next meeting.

Today was friday.

You were studying in your free time, reading the Korean book given to you by your own tutor as a gift. A stack of guide books to the Korean language and culture were on the living room table, some were scattered and others were still not opened yet obviously due to the neatly wrapped plastic around the books. Some of these collections were given to you by your colleagues so it was kind of them to help you with your situation.

You were too distracted from your studying that your phone's own ringtone made you jump. Your heart was beating rapidly but soon calmed down when you realized it was just your phone. You put down your book and checked who called you in the middle of your study time.

The caller ID was unknown.

You answered it nonetheless.

"Hello?"

You responded first but you couldn't hear the person from the other end other than heavy breathing and a small chuckle. It sent shivers down your spine and the silence was enough to creep you out.

"Umm..." You trailed off, "Hello? Who is this? If this is a prank, it isn't funny!"

A chuckle, followed by a low growl. Then the call ended. It was disturbing and it left you speechless.

Then there was a knock on the door.

You jumped, chest hurting due to your fast heart beat. You breathed heavily, trying to relax your tense body. You made your way to the door cautiously, wary on who's on the other side of the door.

Peeking through your doorhole, you sighed in relief to see it was just Namjoon waiting. You didn't want him to wait any longer and so, you opened the door and greeted your tutor.

"Hello, Namjoon!" The said man greeted you back with a smile and entered, leaving his shoes by the shoe rack and wore the provided slippers near it. You forgot to clean the table due to the incident that happened earlier so Namjoon was surprised to see the books and noticed you weren't able to finish reading one, "Please wait for just a moment, something came up."

"Oh, it's alright Detective! If it's work, then please continue," Namjoon nodded and pulled a folder with paper inside from his bag. You quickly thanked him for giving you space before proceeding to your kitchen. It wasn't the best place to have a phone call but it was better than having your tutor hear your conversation.

Scrolling through your contacts, you searched for your boss' contact name and wasted no time calling her.

"Hello?" The familiar voice called out.

"Ah, Hee-seul are you busy?" You asked your boss.

She uttered a 'hmm' noise before responding, "Not at the moment, what's up?"

"I got a call from an unknown number..." You trailed off, "Can you locate the phone number's whereabouts and discover who owns it?"

It sounded like it was too much but you really needed to know since it was disturbing, "Oh, sure!" Hee-seul agreed to it, "Text me the number and I'll find someone to do it. Be safe, alright?"

"Of course, thank you so much! I owe you my life," Your boss welcomed you before ending the call. The feeling of being able to fully relax was satisfactory. Sighing out loud for once, you texted the unknown caller's phone number to Hee-seul and went back to the living room. While you were talking to the said woman, it seems Namjoon distracted himself with his phone. The folder you saw earlier was just resting on the table, your tutor was very thoughtful of providing a pen for you a second time.
