"How are you?"
Yena asked, speaking through the phone call as she head inside her apartment.

"Better but I still don't like making you work for it. I'm sorry Yena.."
"It's okay, it's my responsibility after all"
"I don't know what I would be doing without you. I owe you a lot"

Yena was about to reply but paused noticing someone standing right in front of her door, waiting for her to arrive.
"I'll call you back, sorry"
"You must be busy, it's ok dear"
"Take care, bye"

"I hate him god"
Yena mumbled under her breath, sliding the phone inside her pocket as she approached him, annoyed by his presence- Zhong Chenle.

"Who?"
Chenle asked, leaning against the wall beside the door.

"Why are you here?"
Yena asked, ignoring his question.

"For you"
She scoffed hearing his words.

"Sorry but you can leave"
She replied before bringing her hand up that clutched onto the key to unlock the door.

"You violated government rules, pay the fine for yesterday"
Chenle clasped onto her hand, stopping her midway.

"And what rule did I violate??"
Yena questioned, unknown as to why she had to pay.

"When did you move in here?"
"Yesterday, why?"
"Knew it you had no idea"
"About what?"
Yena raised a brow, demented about what he meant.

"I'll let it slide this time"
"Tell me—"
"Just know you aren't allowed to step out after 10"
Chenle replied not wanting to explain further and just when she was about to speak up his phone rang, interrupting her.

Yena furrowed her brows at how his attitude had noticeably changed since last night and the morning.

Probably he didn't hate her that much...?

"What?..ok I'm coming"
Chenle let go off her hand before he strolled out of the building, leaving the girl confused.

"What did he mean..??"
Yena mumbled to herself, replaying his words trying to figure out what he intended but she was purely confound.

"At least I don't have to pay..thank god"
She shrugged her thoughts away before stepping inside her house.

"Hear this, we found it recorded in her phone"
Jeno played the recording as all the six attentively narrowed their eyes down on the phone, listening to it.

"How long till you're here?"
"I'm on my way Minhee"
"Mansoo it's getting late, just hurry up can you?"
"C'mon babe calm down"
"Stop—"
The door bell ringing interrupted her.
"Our order is here, come home fast, bye"

"This was her last call?"
Donghyuck asked and Jeno nodded placing the phone down on the desk.

"Something must've definitely happened after the call"
Renjun said and they all nodded in agreement.

"If only we knew which place the delivery is from things would've been easy"
Jisung sighed and their shoulders fell in disappointment.

"So this was of no help?"
Jaemin asked and everyone shook their head except Chenle.

"Check her messages- if she had payed the bill online she must've gotten a message from them for the payment"
He said and nodding, Jeno grabbed the phone searching for what he had asked for and his eyes widened noticing something.

"All messages are deleted"
"Check her photos"
Jisung suggested and he nodded scrolling through her photos and abruptly stopped noticing something.

"Here it is!"
Jeno handed the phone to Chenle as they watched the phone screen- a casual picture of Minhee having her meal that she had ordered from the restaurant.

"I want you to get me the list of workers in that place, by tomorrow"
Chenle said, looking at Donghyuck who nodded heading out of his office to get started on what he was told to so.

"There's no way we're giving the killer a chance for another murder"
Chenle muttered, determined to catch hold of the killer.

So how do you find the story so far??
Good or nah?
