"Hey, where are you going?!" I heard Junmyeon shout from behind me. I was running back into the hall hastily. What could have happened?

  Spotting a couple of the members from the corner of her eyes, I ran as fast as I could in those dang heels. "Akita! Are you alright?!" I looked down at Akita, who was set on the ground, coughing harshly.

   "I.. can't...It's... m...y..fau..." she wheezed before coughing again. A boy with high cheekbones, was kneeling besides her trying to calm Akita.

"Mister, what happened?" I asked, very worried. I then gave him a glare. "Yah. Did you do this?"

     

         "I'm Jongdae, and no, I would never!" He retorted, holding his hands up. "She came running out of that curtain and she collapsed on the ground." He pointed to a red curtain near the end of the hall. "I don't know what happened behind there but she seems to have inhaled something that is in there."

     "Gas?" I looked over to the curtain. It did seem out of place..

"Yeah, I think so." Jongdae said, with a hand on his chin. "I sent one of her friends to check it out. What was her name.. Yoo.. Yoo.."

"Yoorin?! You dumbass, she might end up like Akita here!" I shot back at him. Aigoo, this guy. 

     "Relax! Calm down woman. I sent one of my friends to watch over her."

And why did I trust strangers with my friends? Or why did my friends trust strangers? Heck, I honestly don't know myself. Mental facepalm.

     Akita reached for my hand. "U-unnie..." Akita coughed. "I was lured in.."

"What..?"

   "It's all my fault... I shouldn't have... fell for it..."

"Who was it it? Who lured you in?!" I grabbed her shoulders a bit harshly which made her wince.

      "A... handsome looking guy... wearing a... white suit."

     ...Wow. That was a horrible description despite the fact that there are many men wearing suits here! No offense, Akita-ssi. I turned back to Jongdae and he blinked at me with those really long eyelashes he seems to have.

"Is your friend trustworthy?"

"Well... sorta. He'll take good care of your friend, promise. He's sort of.. weird in a way."

"..You got to be joking with me." You really can't put Yoorin with a weird guy. Or... can you? When I think about it, Yoorin is really weird.

     "So you think the guy is the Viscount?" I asked the tall guy named Chanyeol who standing in front of me. Apparently one of his friends sent him to me so I guess I can't ignore him now.

"At least that's what my hyungs and dongsaengs think." He said with his really low and deep voice.

    What he had told me in the past few minutes was this. In this old London like city, there is a kidnapper who only kills women in particular. From police reports,  he has never killed a man and his only targets are women. Chanyeol's group speculates that the Viscount is the kidnapper.

  "So you're a group of detectives? And you're here to call him out?"

"You know, you ask a lot of questions." Chanyeol crossed his arms in a huff.

"...sorry."

"To answer your questions... Yes and... yes." He then turned to look around the hall.
