From that moment on, Bryan decided to solve the case of the Jeju Island Wildfire incident. The door opened as Valerie marched into the kitchen to get a glass of water.
"Hey, Val. I figured we could talk to Kain and ask him certain questions about his motives," he informed and was scrolling down the page of the computer. Then, he realized she didn't respond right away and turned his head on her in puzzlement. "Umm... The silent treatment is not what I'm expecting."
Valerie placed the glass carefully and stared at him dully.
"Is everything alright?" Bryan wondered.
"Joon-wo's incarcerated..." she murmured sadly as she looked away.
"How?!" Bryan became bewildered.
"The police found him beating up someone's boyfriend in an alleyway, but I highly doubt he would randomly go crazy," Valerie explained in exasperation.
"Maybe he still feels bummed about you rejecting him," Bryan thought.
Valerie squinted her eyes at him irritatingly, saying. "That is not the point here. Look, he may have witnessed the girl who he thinks is being somewhat harassed. Either way, Jin took this initiative to go and save her from the guy."
"How do you suppose you come to this conclusion? Remember, you can't just jump right in and assume. Without any evidence, nobody is going to believe you," Bryan reminded.
"You think I don't know that? Besides, I know Jin and he is very caring when it comes to people around him and there must be a good reason as to why he punched the guy," Valerie pointed out.
Suddenly, the television's background music was blaring a little loud, which made them hover their attention on the screen.
"This is breaking news. One of the famous and sensational pop stars, Jeon Jaesang is arrested for plagiarism. He is taken into custody after finding a replica of EXEL's music in his own studio. Soon he will be going into the court whether the judge approves him of being innocent or not. If he is found guilty, Jaesang will be sued for more than $25,000. Further details will be reported..."
Bryan became distraught and questioned. "What the actual fuck?! Him too?!"
Valerie mentally slapped herself in the face, groaning. She shook her head in disconsolation and heard a few knocks on the door.
Bryan's eyes widened in shock and quickly minimized the window tabs and put the computer to sleep. He got up from his chair and pulled the handle over.
Sally and Ava came in with squeals and giggles. They were carrying the bags, much to his and Valerie's astonishment.
"My boss called me and requested a new pair of shoes. He wants to wear a different brand outside of the states. Plus, I'm totally digging these matching glittery bracelets," Ava grinned as she held her wrists in front of them.
"Babe, aren't you supposed to only have one?" Bryan queried in confusion.
"Right. I was just giving myself a wear test," Ava said, giggling.
"Sounds like a new word invention there," Valerie snorted with a laugh.
Ava agreed and walked up to Bryan to slide the accessory onto his right wrist. "Yup!"
Sally smiled and mentioned. "Oh, we both have some news."
"Please be a good one," Bryan said hopefully.
"Go on," Valerie urged her.
"Ava and I have to fly back to New York immediately since there have been some slight changes in our schedule," Sally stated.
