With the amount of people in the room, they trio were barely noticed when they stepped in. Hyewon's eyes scanned for Taeyong.
"Ah there he is."

They squeezed through the officers, some scattered chairs too, finally reaching him.
His eyes fixated on the screen in front of him, only perking his head up and removing his headset when he felt their presence. "Any new leads?"

"Ugh no," he groaned. "Apparently the murder happened the day before we followed Mr Park into the alley."

"Who's Mr Park?" Jisung interjected, only just making himself known to the older boy. "Oh who's this?"

"Long story short, he's in my gang now. He's Jisung," Hyewon rambled, waving her hand as an indication that it was something they should talk about another time. "So where's Mr Park now?"

"We let him go- cameras caught him somewhere else when the murder happened."

Hyewon let out a sigh. They were all probably equally frustrated that the killer isn't leaving a single evidence. It was too perfect of a crime.
"Well, call me if there's anything new."

The outside of the station definitely contrasted with the inside, it was quiet and peaceful, a few cars whizzing by. "I'll call Mr Kim to come pick me up- I'll see the both of you at school."

Jaemin reached out his hand and put it on Hyewon's shoulder before she went any further. "Uh Hyewon I need to talk to you."

Her eyebrows furrowed at the seriousness of his face. "What is it?"
He turned to Jisung and gestured that he should go ahead first.

"Ah okay- Bye Noona."
"Mhm get home safe."

Once Jisung was out of hearing range, Jaemin turned back to her, hand still gripped tightly on her shoulder. His hand then reached into his pocket and pulled out a picture.
"How do you know him?"

Hyewon's eyes widened. "How did you get this?"
"You dropped it the other day." He handed the image back to her, choking on the words he was about to say next. Hyewon patiently waited, giving him a few minutes and he finally spat it out.

"He's part of the the reason why my parents died."

The night was getting cold but Hyewon continued to stand outside the station, going into a string of thoughts.

"He killed your parents too?" he exclaimed in disbelief. "Why would he do that?"

"I don't know, but that's why I have his picture- I'll get back at him one day."

She exhaled. "Should I call Mr Kim now?"
Her finger hovered over the screen for a while before she retracted her hand. She shook her head, deciding that she should just walk home.

Hyewon zipped up her jacket and stuffed her hands inside the pockets, attempting to keep herself warm, but the wind made her shiver anyways.

A black car zoomed past her, and to her surprised it stopped just a few meters ahead of her. She heightened the focus on her surroundings.

"I better not get kidnapped today," she mumbled to herself.

She watched the window of the car roll down from her peripheral vision, a familiar voice calling out from inside of it.

"If you continue to wander around like that, you're going to get yourself killed Princess."
