They were driving for fifty-five minutes until they stopped under the bridge to park the van. They soon got out and scurried over to the edges of the waters, analyzing their surroundings. A pile of garbage was polluted on the rocks, leading them to question.
"Who would do such a barbaric thing? Look at this place, it's been trashed," Joon-wo said, grimacing at the foul smell that was scorching up to his nose.
"And vandalized," Taeyun mentioned, scrutinizing the column walls.
"Do you think she was here?" Jaesang queried.
"I guess so," Hwan assumed.
"If she was, then does that mean she knows where she was going to?" Min-Jun conjectured.
"We don't know for sure," Ryung said.
"Hold on..." Bryan muttered when he was checking the notification on his phone. Once he opened it, he tapped to play the video, whereas the rest of the members huddled closely to watch.
"Breaking News. A missing woman is now officially confirmed dead in the gun shooting and car collisions at the Gangbyeon Expressway. Just yesterday, the police officers have identified a couple of victims with serious life-threatening injuries. Only two survivors remained unharmed," the reporter lady stated during the broadcast live, much to their confusion.

The sun was scintillating through the glass windows where all the equipment and stainless tools were displayed.
The guys came rushing into the hospital at a fast pace, then headed down the hallways and saw the medical workers, conferring in the middle.
Bryan approached them, asking in a deep worry. "Where is she?"
The pathologist, the doctor, and the medical examiner gave each other a quick, forlorn glance until one of them stepped up reluctantly.
"There were five bullets shot to her stomach and chest. No drugs or alcohol drinks are found in the system, other than her anxiety and panic disorder. She had a 35% chance of surviving the wounds-" The medical examiner explained the report on his checklist board, but got interrupted.
"Is she there?" Jiyoo pointed his finger firmly.
The medical examiner motioned his hand forward and replied. "Yes... Please, follow me..."
Jiyoo nodded curtly as he and the others proceeded on their way to the autopsy room. They halted where they noticed a white sheet covering the table.
They started to become pale as soon as Bryan moved to the front and slowly unveiled her entire face. The purple bruises had scarred her eyelids and bottom lip had been cut, including the two bullet holes that seemed to be visible.

"You know, I wasn't lying when I told you about it," Valerie said when they sat down in the soccer bleachers.
"Hm? What do you mean?" Bryan raised his eyebrows blankly.
"You've asked me and I answered you," She giggled.
"No, you didn't. When?" Bryan asked, cluelessly.
"While we were travelling on the airplane," Valerie snorted.
"Ah... Your goal," Bryan realized quickly with a nod and peered at her in sideways. "Let me guess. It's about your career, isn't it?"
"Probably," She serenely set her gaze on the families walking in the park and continued on softly. "It's nice that you have other people who are closest to you."
