"Chaoxing?"

"Yeah?" She saw me holding the towel and my dirty clothes. "Oh. I'll take care of those. Just get some rest."

"... Where?"

"Either my brother's room or my room or the couch if you'd like." She answered as she took the things and disappearing.

"I'll just sleep in her room I guess..." I mumbled. I then went inside. Her room was neatly organized, but her study desk is a mess. I walked over and looked at it.

The table was covered with open books and test papers with good grades on them. My gaze then averted to a picture of her with a familiar guy.

"Who the fuck...?" I muttered. They look happy, and it hurts a bit.

"Oh? You chose to sleep here?"

"Yeah..." My gaze averted back to the picture. "Um... Who's that...?"

"Him? Kim Taehyung. My ex." She walked closer to me.

"Ex? What happened?" I asked.

"Oh... He... Died..." She muttered. "It was his birthday, we were walking in the streets and it was late at night. Then out of nowhere, he pushed me away and..."

"Died... I'm so sorry..." I finished her sentence. "Say... When... Was his birthday...?"

"30 December. He passed away two years ago."

"I see..."

I noticed her eyes watering. I pulled her into a hug and started rubbing circles on her back.

"It's okay, Chaoxing..." I comforted her. "He's in a better place now... Plus, I'm sure he wouldn't want you crying... I'm sure he wants you happy..."

"I... I guess..." She pulled away. "Thank you, LongLong..."

"You're welcome... I'll always be there for you..."

She pulled me into another hug. I looked at the photo and furrowed my brows.

Kim Taehyung?

Why so familiar?

(Time skip)

"Hanyu-ge." I called out. "Do you know who Kim Taehyung is?"

"Yeah, I do. Why?" Hanyu raised a brow.

"Chaoxing has a picture of him on her desk and he looks so familiar." I explained. "Like... I know I saw him before, but I can't put my finger on it."

"... LongLong, you were the one who killed him."

"... Y-you're joking right?" I froze in spot.

"Do I look like I am?" Hanyu raised a brow. "If I remember clearly, we almost sent Mingrui to kill him, but you insisted you wanted to murder him. Something about your past."

"... Did I really...?"

"Still think you didn't do it? Wow, you're so stubborn." He scoffed. "If I still have it... Ah! Here."

He slid a document and some newspaper across the table, which landed in front of me.

"Teenage Murderer... Shoots Schoolmate As An... Early New Year Gift...?"

"LongLong, may I remind you something?" Hanyu sighed as he leaned against the table. "You have the third biggest killing record out of the whole company, and you're Boy Story's ace. If there's a murder, it would most likely be you."

"... Right..." I gave a small nod. "Um... Gege...?"

"Hm?"

"Do you think Chaoxing will hate me for this?"
