The police station they were brought to was lively, detectives and officers coming in and out with all kinds of expressions. Namu quietly sat on a chair, picking at her wrist. She felt overwhelmed and guilty of the situation she was in.
She had finished giving her statement and it was currently Jeno's turn. She tried to contact her brother but he still didn't pick up.
"You'll bleed if you keep scratching your wrists." A young officer approached her, handing her a cup of tea.
"It's a habit of mine. Thanks for the concern." She shyly stated. She accepted the cup with shaky hands.
He shrugged his jacket off and put it around her. "I'm a fan of yours and I swear we'll get him behind bars. You have nothing to worry about."
"Thank you." She weakly smiled at him. She recognized him as the officer that drove her and Jeno here. She took a sip and instantly felt the tension in her die down.
"If this situation happens again call me. You can just leave the jacket at the reception table here when you leave." He stated, handing her a card. He bowed and left her to calm down.
"Hwang Jeongtae." She read out loud. The interaction was somewhat reassuring and the sweet tea really helped.
The door down the hall opened and Jeno emerged from the room. Fortunately, he had no obvious injuries besides the ones on his knuckles.
Looking closely, it seemed he was in a rush on his way there as his shirt was on backwards and his slippers didn't match.
"I um..." The words that Namu had prepared earlier seem to fly out of her head. She bit her bottom lip before standing abruptly. "I—"
"Sit." He cut off, pointing to her knee which was bleeding. She did as he said and watched as he asked for a first aid kit. He crouched down and cleaned her wound with gentle hands.
"Thank you for coming." Namu thanked. She saw him nod, not wanting to continue the conversation. "Can we talk?"
"We already are." Jeno deadpanned. He didn't bother looking up at her as he focused on cleaning the wound. He placed a bandage around it and took a seat beside her.
"I'm serious." She huffed, crossing her arms. She scanned his unreadable expression with hopes of seeing his old self in him. "I want to talk about that day in the hospital."
Jeno seemed to tense up, the words opening the wounds of that day. He never thought she would bring it up.
He never thought she would talk to him again in general.
"What about it?"
The girl was hesitant, trying to choose the right words to say.
"I—"
"JULIE OH MY GOD I HATE YOU!"
The sound of Johnny's voice boomed inside the station. He nearly tripped as he ran up to his sister, pulling her into a bone crushing hug. She could feel her brother's frantic heartbeat and the tears drop down onto her head.
It may seem like a sweet sibling moment, but the fact that Johnny was literally a ruler taller than her made him need to bend over.
"Shouldn't I hate you for not picking up?" Namu huffed, getting teary-eyed.
"My phone died during the meeting. Brathyuck didn't want to lend me his powerbank." Johnny explained, pulling back from the hug. He looked over at Jeno and bowed. "Thank you for helping her. I owe you a lot."
"It's all good. Stop bowing." Jeno muttered. He still felt shame to face Johnny after breaking his promise with him.
"Wait a minute how did you know?" She asked, confused.
"He called me." Mark stated, walking in. He smiled awkwardly at the boy who just huffed.
"I'm gonna go talk to the person handling the case." Johnny excused himself, escaping the awkward situation.
"I thought your boyfriend should know." Jeno mumbled loud enough for her to hear. He got up and walked straight out of the station.
Boyfriend?
"I was just in the area though. Why didn't you call me?" Mark asked, taking the seat Jeno was in.
"I don't know. He was the second person after Youngho I could think of." Namu explained, fiddling with the zipper of her jacket. "I thought he wouldn't come."
"Have you two made up then?"
Namu shook her head sadly. She wanted to make up with him but couldn't find the right chance to talk to him.
She wanted to tell him properly.
"Wait a minute." Namu looked at Mark who suddenly got nervous. "Where were you during a meeting?"
"I think we should meet up with Johnny now to find out the details of the case." Mark, got up and walked in the direction Johnny went.
"Where were you Lee Minhyung?!" Namu questioned, going after him.
"Nowhere." Mark muttered, picking up his pace.
"I swear if you're risking your whole career I will body slam you into a locker and throw it over a cliff!"
Mark broke into a full sprint at the threat, disappearing to where Johnny was. Angry Namu is a scary Namu.
"I knew it! You were hanging out with her!"
