Detective Partners [K.N.J] (Revamping 7-13)

♡‧₊˚✧Chapter Two

‧₊˚✧Detective Partners‧₊˚✧

Just as I was about to hop in the shower I heard the doorbell ring. I grab the bathrobe Suran left for me "Coming!" I open the door and see Mr.Kim holding white roses

"Ms.L/N?!"

"Mr.Kim?!" My eyes widen in surprise

"I'm sorry I think she gave me the um wrong apartment" He looks embarrassed and scratches the back of his neck

"Oh no, that's fine. Don't worry about it" I gave him a small smile to reassure him it was okay

I slowly close the door and go back to what I was doing. I run to the bathroom lean against the door and stay like that for a while until I hop in the shower.

──────♡‧₊˚✧ :: Time skip

I enter my workplace to the smell of coffee. I exhale and walk into my office. To my surprise I see Mr.Kim sitting on top of my desk looking at the files from yesterday.

"You know, if you're not careful enough the coffee might spill on the other important files we'll need to solve this case," I say with my arms crossed around my chest

"Good morning to you too, Ms. L/N (Last Name)"

"I see you got here early. I was thinking we should start interviewing those close to the victims' family & friends."

"Sure. I'll start making phone calls to the families & friends of the victims"

As I start making my way to my desk I get a random call from Suran. 'That's weird, she never calls me while I'm at work" I thought to myself while looking at my screen

"Hey girl right now isn't the time to call me. Is everything okay?"

"Y/n, I need you to listen to me because I think my life might be in danger right now so what I need you to do right now is-" Before she could finish her sentence the line cut off

"Suran? Suran are you still there?" I panicked "Fuck" I mumbled under my breath

"Everything alright l/n?" Namjoon asks leaning on his desk

"I think my friend could be in danger" I let out a sigh of stress.

"She's my cousin," he says out of nowhere "At first I thought I had the wrong apartment but I guess I didn't. I haven't seen her in a long time so I decided to pop up unannounced to surprise her and all" he pauses

"Did she mention to you where she was going?" I asked

"No clue. Like I said, I haven't seen her in a minute but we do call from time to time. Even then she doesn't tell me every detail of her life while we're on call since she'd rather tell me in person just cause it "feels more genuine" or so she says"

'That does sound like her' I thought to myself

"Did she mention anything to you before she left?"

"No, she just rushed out. We didn't even get to say a proper goodbye"

We stand still in silence looking at each other when suddenly Namjoon says out of nowhere "I'll be back. I need to pick up some paperwork from Mr.Min" Detective Kim says

I look up at him & nod. As I'm left alone I start to review the case files and realize what they all had in common, they were all famous & lived alone. I scratch my head from the frustration I had from not having any leads. It's clear that the murder was a homicide but we have yet to investigate the crime scene. I lean back into my chair and space out

Namjoon's P.O.V

"You sure are lucky to be working with Y/N L/N" some random person walks up to me

"Pardon"

"Y/N is very popular around here, she's known for being an absolute sweetheart. She's good at her job, hard-working, determined, and overall ambitious. She cares for others & knows how to make someone smile when they're at their lowest. Something about her just screams perfect" Talking about her made his eyes sparkle.

"I'm sorry but who are you?"

"Where are my manners," he nervously laughs, "I'm Kim Mingyu, it's an honor to finally meet you in person Detective Kim"

"I see, are we done now?" without letting him say another word I push him out of my way. "PFT as if I would want to keep talking to someone like you"

"Good afternoon Mr.Kim, what can I do for you this fine afternoon?"

"I'd like to file a missing person's report"

Your P.O.V

"Are you hungry? I was thinking of grabbing something to eat for the both of us" Mr Kim says throwing some papers onto his desk

"Oh, I didn't see you get back," I say looking up at him "I'm good maybe coffee would be nice. I'm planning on pulling an all-nighter to dig up as much as I can" I say looking back down at my computer

"Already stressing yourself out?"

"Well yeah. It's been day 2 and we still have no leads. Like what's the whole point of being named "the best detectives in Korea" if you can't even get any leads or solve the case in less than a week?"

"Alright Y/n. Don't let this shit stress out at the end of the day we're still humans, so what if we don't have leads? We'll eventually get there so just... don't stress yourself out, alright?" I nod

"I'll try not to but no promises though" I smile

"Okay, well I'll be back," he says grabbing his coat from the hanger

"Wait"

"Hm?" He turns his head to me

"Do we have the research warrants"

"Yeah, we'll go to the crime scene tomorrow," he says before leaving

Just as I thought as he left, he unexpectedly popped his head back in and said, "Don't get too ahead of yourself. I know what too ambitious people like you are capable of. Don't want you getting into danger L/n (Last name)" then he leaves again

I shake my head and laugh.

As the days passed, I hadn't heard anything from Suran. Living in her house didn't make things any better. Everything just reminded me of her. The way she embellished the apartment into her own. It wasn't too boring or too much. Whenever people would walk into her apartment, it felt comforting just like her.

The sound of the doorbell ring brought me back to reality. I look around the room before eventually getting up.

"Namjoon? What brings you here?" He had a serious look nothing out of the ordinary except it felt somewhat off like his energy and everything overall felt off

"She's dead, Suran was found dead this morning"
