IN PLAIN SIGHT || KTH ||

The body is found before sunrise.

Hands bound with plastic ties. Bruises at the throat. Multiple wounds-none fatal until the last. The medical examiner will later say the victim stayed conscious longer than expected.

No forced entry. No weapon left behind.

Someone wanted him afraid first.

|| next morning ||

Police tape cuts through rust and concrete. Cameras flash. Boots step carefully around dried blood.
Y/N stands among the officers, notebook in hand, eyes steady. Y/N studied the files in silence, eyes steady, expression unreadable. A good officer. A reliable one. The kind everyone trusted without question.

When the case begins to stall, the department brings in Kim Taehyung, a cold and brilliant investigator known for ending impossible cases.
The moment he enters the room, the atmosphere changes........

"Start from the beginning."

Eyes meet across the room-just once. Long enough for something dangerous to stir. Then he looks away.

Outside, the city keeps moving.
Inside, the hunt begins.
