"Lonely"

—

The sun peaked through the lonely guy's bedroom window. The black-haired boy got out of his cold bed and into the bathroom. It was 6:34am and Chanyeol soon realized he had a meeting in the next 20 minutes. He rushed and soon he got in his car and zoomed to the station.

Everyone were in their uniforms and waited for chanyeol to arrive. Chanyeol soon entered scanned in and walked inside the meeting room, "sorry for being late."

Everyone greeted him as he did it back. Chanyeol sighed, "alright let's get this meeting started. So looking over evidence I noticed that each victim has a carving. XO but the O has a slash through it. Also I noticed that each weapon has different fingerprints. Thoughts?"

"They could be apart of a group or something maybe called XO..?"

"I agree," chanyeol said, "but we could also have one killer trying to frame others."

"It could be a secret cult, you know trying to sacrifice people."

"Good idea," chanyeol praises the woman, "but there is not other evidence of a cult besides the name and different fingerprints."

"I think we should scan the fingerprints and then investigate the suspects."

"All right," Chanyeol said, "I guess this meeting is over then. Oh, and when the results come back I'll call another meeting."

Everyone nodded and soon headed back to their own work.

Chanyeol's shift ended as he yawned and quickly scanned out. His stomach grumbled as he looked at the time. It was 6:13pm and he hadn't ate since 1pm. He decided to eat at a restaurant with his friend Jongin at 7. He quickly went home and hid his things for the crime investigation equipment he brought home and took a quick shower. He was soon in his black car driving towards the restaurant.

Chanyeol sat down and waited for Jongin as the younger boy was almost always late for everything they planned. Finally the younger arrived and sat across from Chanyeol.

"Why are you always so late?" Chanyeol asked.

"Sorry but you know how my wife is," Jongin smiled taking his coat off.

Chanyeol sighed, "nice to know your life is going great."

Jongin smile faded away, "come on don't be like that chanyeol, you'll find your soulmate one day."

"That day will never come," Chanyeol sipped his drink.

"Yeah it will," Jongin shined his bright smile again, "you just have to have hope. How do you think I got to the restaurant. I had hope I could come and you know what I did!"

Chanyeol laughed and shrugged, "mmm maybe for you."

Kai rolled his eyes and soon the two began to eat their dinner. Time passed as Chanyeol and the younger finally finished their meals. The two put on their coats and paid the bill, Chanyeol insisted on paying but Jongin won. The two boys said their goodbyes and parted their ways.

Chanyeol got home and plopped onto his big lonely bed. If only someone was there to love him. A small wet tear escaped from his eyes and the boy turned with his stomach on the bed. He hugged his pillow with all his might and cried. He was a lonely 27 year old man with no one to love. His friend had gotten his life together but what about him?

It was 2:35 in the morning and Chanyeol had finally woken up and he checked his phone, 4 missed calls from the police station two minutes ago. He gasped and jumped to sit on his bed and quickly tried to call back the station.

"We need you to come down to the station immediately. There was another murder."

"I-I'll be right there!" Chanyeol hung up and grabbed his coat and rushed towards his car. The engine roared as he quickly turned the heat on as it was cold. Finally he arrived at the murder scene and rushed towards the policemen.

"What did I miss?" Chanyeol asked, "I am so sorry! I did not hear my phone ringing!"

"It's alright Park," the officer said, "but a man and his child have been struck tonight. Thankfully the child survived but not the father."

Chanyeol looked around and saw an ambulance. He looked inside and saw the unconscious boy laying in there, "do you know when he might be recovered?"

The paramedic looked at the boy then Chanyeol, "we don't know yet. He has five stab wounds in his stomach. Hopefully he survives but he's unconscious right now. Maybe in the next couple of weeks he'll be fully recovered."

Chanyeol nodded and wrote down the details in his notes. He walked back towards the crime scene and put on gloves. The father's body was covered in a white sheet and chanyeol asked to see it. Carefully, he lifted up the sheet and was shocked at all the marks on the father's body. Scratches, ropes, and knife marks were all left on the father's body. Chanyeol lifted up the man's chin and saw the mark "XØ." He smirked and put the blanket back on top of the dead man.

"All we gotta do is wait for the boy," chanyeol said.
