Everything will be okay, I promise the sun will rise again.

LIGHT BULB

It has been two weeks since Akina's first session with Areum. Overall there has been an improvement with Areum. She will now talk to Akina about basic things as long as it doesn't deal with that dreadful morning. Akina was told about that day by one of the detectives when they came for updates. Hearing what happen put multiple weights on her shoulders. She now knows how important it is to help Areum talk about what she knows.

In a lighter since Akina has now got to see the bubbly personality of Areums which makes her heart grow. The young girl now always hugs Akina when she leaves and brings her snacks to enjoy when they have their sessions. It wouldn't be far fetched to say that Akina's favorite time of the day is when the little girl would show up.

But as Akina sits in her office thinking about these events she can't help but be curious as to who's the suspect. She rakes through her brain all the knowledge she has on serial killers - which consists of crime shows she watches on the weekend - and thinks of who this person could be. She doesn't get far into thought because she lacks knowledge. Before a small amount of frustration hits her a knock comes from the outside of her door.

All the boys were sat at their desks raking through cases. Some were filing new information, others were conversing or staring at their computers. Unlike most Johnny, Yuta, and Doyoung were trying to find any leads to figure out the profile of the unsub.

As everyone was keeping themselves occupied Taeyong walks into the cubicle area with a file in his hand. He pauses for a minute looking around until his eyes land on a boy who was currently folding a piece of paper into an airplane.

"Jungwoo comes with me," he says sternly but not containing any anger. Jungwoo gets up from out of his seat pausing his effort of folding the paper. He follows the shorter man who leads him back to his office.

Walking to Taeyongs desk he sees him open the file which had key details from the couple killings that were happening. "I need your brain Jungwoo. Could you read through this and come up with a profile, the one the boys made isn't getting us anywhere."

He responds with a nod and begins to look through the file putting certain information in different piles. His eyebrows scrunch up and his lips form into a pout while looking through all the information.

Taeyong gets up from his chair and walks out of the room so Jungwoo can have no distractions. He makes his way to tell the others on the case about Jungwoo being the new addition.

While looking at some of the crime scene photos something sticks out to Jungwoo. Every couple that was killed were leaning against a wall and they were holding hands. Seeing as that is an intimate act Jungwoo wrote down the paper; 'emotional, remorseful.'

Looking at the victim's wounds he notices how they are all done the same way. All done clean and concise. None of the victims looked grotesque. Everything was clean. It then clicks that this person has to have some sort of medical knowledge so he writes that on the paper.

Then Jungwoo feels stuck, he asks himself why did they not also kill the girl. He begins to look through how all the victims were found. Then it all clicks, the newest witness was in the house at the time of the murder. This was unlike all the others, normally the kids didn't know anything until they came home.

Jungwoo runs his hand through his hair out of stress and tries to figure out why Areum was the only witness out of all of them. "It could've been a mistake," he whispers to himself. Pushing those thoughts to the side he looks at the bullet point list that he made.

Emotional, remorseful, medical knowledge, patient, families.

He studies it for a moment until like a flipping of a switch it all clicked into his head. He grabs the paper and jogs out of Taeyong's office and looks for the group who's working on the case. He finds them all at the board writing information on the case.

They all turn their heads from the noise Jungwoo was making from jogging toward him. Catching his breath first he fills him in on his theory, "I think the unsub is a woman." They all look at him slightly confuse so he continues, "Every couple was holding hands showing remorse and emotion, the unsub has to have gone through something two-ish months ago to trigger this. She must also have some sort of medical knowledge. The unsub never plans to hurt the kids, even the newest witness wasn't hurt."

His small speech makes their heads click as well. "The unsub must be killing these families for a reason, maybe a family hurt hers or something." Doyoung chimes in. "We could assume she's mid-age because all the couples are," Johnny adds.

"She wants them all to feel the pain she did," Yuta says and they all agree. From what they all said they now had an updated profile on the investigation board which made Taeyong grab out his phone to call one of their technical analysts.

"Taeil look up news about the death of a family from accidents of any sort. Also, look into middle age woman who recently lost family and work in the medical field." Typing is heard from the other line and Taeil responds, "On it, call when I find something." The call ends abruptly and the boys feel a surge of confidence from the new insight.

"Good job Jungwoo," Taeyong says while patting his shoulder and Jungwoo shows a timid smile and begins to play with his fingers.

As the knocking outside her door startles her she closes the file on her computer, "Come in." The person who was knocking comes in, "Hello Dr.Sato," the middle-aged woman says."oh, hello Nurse Lee what can I help you with," she says smiling at the nurse who she has known for a good time. It was the nurse who she assisted her first year and gave her irreplaceable advice.

"We order food for lunch if you wanted to come to eat with us," she says smiling sweetly. Akina nods and rises out of her seat walking to the nurse. She turns off the light and follows the nurse to the break room.

What Akina didn't know was the facade that Nurse Lee had on in front of her.

What do you guys think? Also if you were curious I got inspiration from Criminal Minds bc that show slaps.

Anyways peace out! <333
