"Huh?"
"Whom were you talking about?"
He repeated himself walking inside the kitchen- still in his formal clothing."No one..?"
"Anyways, When did you come?"
Yena diverted the topic and he simply shrugged in response."No work?"
"Oh fuck!"
Yena looked down at her watch- eyes wide open realizing that she was half an hour late for the part time job."I-"
"No, I'm not going to drop you"
"No, I was saying- I'm going alone"
"What? No you are not—"
"Just once, nothing's gonna happen"
Yena shrugged chugging a glass of water before turning around."Yea, at max you'll just die"
"Oh please stop with your jokes about me dying- it's not funny"
"Don't expect me to pic-"
"Yea yea, you'll send Mark instead I know"
Yena exited his house leaving him surprised by her words as to how she knew he was the one who had asked Mark to pick her up the other day."This girl"
He muttered before rushing behind her, out of his house."I won't!"
"Sure sir! I know"
"You heard me, I really won't!"
Yena gave him an 'okay' sign with her hands- a wide, uncontrollable smile plastered on her face before turning around the corner, out of his sight."Shit, that was close"
Chenle huffed our air, placing his hand on his heart that quickened upon simply seeing her smile- his mind replaying the scene and his lips broke out into a small smile, unknown to him, a strange feeling that built up in him despite trying to hold himself from it.➸
"I got information about all the victims"
"All of them were related to either forensic department or were investigative officers"
Jisung explained before they drew their eyes down onto the file as they studied the information.──────────────────

"Did you notice? 28th of every month is the day he attempts a crime"
"Everyone except Minhee and Mansoo are much older.."
"Yes.."
Mark gave Jeno a nod in acknowledgment."Anything in common?"
Jisung gave Chenle a nod placing the file on the desk with all the victim's informations in it before speaking up."I don't know if I should say this but..."
"Hyung.."
Chenle raised a brow, waiting for the younger to continue."Everyone except Minhee and Mansoo worked along with,"
Jisung paused, mentally debating if he should say out those words."What is it Jisung?"
Renjun question, waiting for him to continue."They worked with your parents"
"What?"
"Yes.."
"I'm sure it has something in relation with your parents Chenle Hyung"And those words sent his heart lurching and he could feel his breath get stuck in his throat, gut wrenching as every gulp burned his insides, mind flashing the memories of his past that lingered deep down in him- almost feeling the whole world come to a stop by hearing his mere words.
