Barging into the station early in the morning, you immediately stormed over to Yeonjun’s office and slammed open the door. Notebook ready in hand , finger separating the pages and placed inside the one you wanted to show him.
“Yeonjun!”
“Good morning to you too Y/n.”
Rolling your eyes, you opened up your notebook and we're about to slam it onto his desk, you had been rehearsing how this was gonna go since you woke up and we're brushing your teeth, finishing off the finishing touches as you drove to the station.
You were ready to say everything that you had taken the time to script, writing it down in a long lost document that laid in your brain and was just waiting to be reused, you ended up apologizing for having the wonderful invention of a notebook in your arms and no longer needing the free one that was almost like an application.
Taking in your huge breath and getting prepared to completely destroy your vocal chords-
“Choi Yeonjun? L/n Y/n? Oh good that I found you both- our boss Choi Soobin wants to see you two.”
And… of course. Someone had to interrupt your main character moment, just as you were preparing to get the top police rank and receive a promotion to- what a bummer.
Yeonjun laughed as he looked back at you and shrugged, “oh well, guess you gotta tell me later.” He responded, getting up from his chair as he made his way to the door and held it open for you. You sighed in disappointment and thanked him, carrying your shoulders low at the missed opportunity.
You both went to the main office, where you found some other cops on shift also gathered and discussing. You glanced at Yeonjun in confusion, but it was clear he was just as confused as you were since these types of situations were uncommon in your station.
Finally, Soobin came over and spoke, “I know that this was a very uncalled for situation, however recently we have discussed with the head chief for a few weeks on end and have come to a very sudden conclusion.”
Hearing the mumbles of the few cops who were present, they waited for Soobin to complete his sentence yet gathered up in their small little friend groups in order to discuss their theories on what was happening.
You yourself leaned a bit closer to Yeonjun, “You think someone used the bathroom too hard causing the bathrooms to go under forbidden restrictions again?” You whispered, making Yeonjun snort as he recalled the time that actually happened, he quickly cleared his throat and went back to serious mode upon the presence of Soobin who had been glancing around at the police who were there.
“We have come to the conclusion that we would accept a new cop in the station who studied overseas and graduated from a top law school.”
Mumbles were heard among the entire room, almost like the sound of people talking in a stadium after an abrupt silence stops a play, and people around the room start questioning whether the play is over, suddenly everyone went silent upon Soobin placing his finger over his lip.
“Because we have trained him for quite some time, and his grades as well as his resume proved he has enough talent to start as a high rank cop in our station. He will be joining our top tier cops for the time being, Y/n, Yeonjun, he'll be under you both for now, can I trust you with that?”
The room has never been more quiet, the process time between you and Yeonjun, all the eyes were fixed on the two of you, who stayed firmly looking at Soobin. Both of you made eye contact and thought for a moment, however you both knew that neither of you had a good feeling about this.
Yeonjun finally looked back and nodded his head, almost completely removing the worried expression that he had been looking at you with previously.
“Yes, that's fine boss.” Yeonjun responded, you sucked up the feeling and responded back, “We'll take good care of him.”
Soobin smiled and nodded at you both, looking back at the rest of the officers in the room. “Alright then, please introduce yourself.”
Suddenly, another person came out. A guy, maybe around 20 years old, he was tall, almost reaching the height of Soobin, yet not quite there yet. He looked a little frail so you were a bit skeptical on how he could become a cop, especially such a high rank one when he looked so young.
“He looks a bit weak..? Or regular don't you think..?” You whispered over to Yeonjun to which he laughed, making you find yourself looking at him wondering what was so funny.
“You look really weak too, I'd probably trust him more than you to be real here.”
You snapped at him “Shut the hell up, I'm not that weak looking!”
He chuckled, looking upon hearing the man start speaking.
“Hello, I'm Kai Kamal Huening, but I prefer to just be called Huening Kai, if possible Hyuka.” He smiled, voice soft and innocent, a little bit lighter than you had expected.
Some part of you felt weird whenever the youngman introduced himself. However, you weren't exactly sure what you might have felt in that short instant, but whatever it was sent chills down your spine. What you discovered last night and was on the verge of telling Yeonjun should be forgotten, as it was best to keep it to yourself.
You walked down the hallways of the station with Yeonjun, you both had left the conference room and went to the cafeteria to get yourselves a small coffee and snack, so much investigating made you hungry.
“I don't know… I don't really like the new guy.” you muttered, suddenly starting to ramble on why. “I mean like, he probably just lied about studying abroad and in the best law school, like come’on, I also got deja vu hearing his voice. 20ish years old and already accomplished that much? Became a high rank officer? Yeah no.”
Sighing, he responded, “You're probably just jealous because you started out as a lower rank and it took you an eternity to get to where you are now.”
“Oh shut up, you're no one to talk. It took you longer than it took me.” You snapped, making him hiss at you, immediately separating the coffee from his face.
“Well, I still hold the title of the first cop to be considered ‘high rank’ in this station.'' he snapped back, making you both start bickering about whatever came first to your mind. One moment it'd be about your ranks and the next you'd both be throwing punches at each other for that stepped on potato chip that you both remembered you failed to save about a year ago.
Opening the door to the conference room you both had been in, the two of you entered and began walking back angrily to your spots for your tini mini argument that you both happened to have in the hallway.
“You both are back, I've been waiting.” A voice said from the back of the room, sounding like it was getting closer and approaching the discussion table. Making eye contact, you both glanced at the voice which happened to be the face you saw in your nightmares that hadn't even happened yet.
Yeonjun stole the words out of your mouth and unfortunately spoke before you, “If it's not rude, may I ask what you're doing here?” He questioned, looking at Huening Kai, he was annoyed, not specifically at Huening but more at you. (in which you shared the same exact emotions as him)
Hyuka placed a friendly smile, the type that would easily melt someone's heart if done at the right time, and even when it wasn't it was still worth crushing over. It somewhat made you feel some type of way when he smiled so kindly like that, it was also the moment when you realized just how hot this new guy was, he looked like a full on idol, visuals so captivating they left you speechless.
“I don't have a specific reason to be here. But I thought we should get to know each other before anything since we'll be close allies from now on.”
You thought he sounded like a child, he for surely hadn't been speaking like that beforehand.
“Sorry bud, but when you're a high rank officer there's better things to do then get to know each other. We'll just let time do that for us.” You responded, making him look at you once more. Not thinking much about it, you went back to your notebook, purposefully skipping over the page from last night. Yeonjun had been doing some computer work, but you truthfully didn't know what he was doing.
But upon noticing something was wrong, when you realized that he was still looking at you… you turned your head to face him, looking him in the eye for an instant, so little but enough for his expression to completely change.
Because you were sure of it, for a split second after turning your face, you looked into his eyes and saw absolutely zero emotion, no remorse, no light and no sensitivity… pure coldness. Yet the next second, his eyes softened as a smile rounded across his face giving you a slight nod.
Suspiciously turning back with your heart racing, you went back to your notebook before hearing the alarm go off, once more, for the second time that same week, second day in a row. Now this was rare.
Yeonjun got up from his chair, running to the door and slamming it open, you followed behind, stopping to signal Huening to follow you, in which he did. All three of you ran out of the station, seeing the cop cars beginning to line up as they prepared them for you all.
You noticed Wooyoung at the scene, speaking with another worker, but something about Wooyoung was different today. He looked so- tired. So drained of energy, and most outstanding of all, anxious.
Wooyoung nodded at you after he noticed you staring and gave you a small sassy motion of ‘What?” Before making his way to a car, opening up the driver seat and getting inside, closing the door behind him. If you were being serious you were honestly glad that Wooyoung would be accompanying you on this investigation because the previous day had been a complete mess without him. The only time you'd ever say that things were better with Wooyoung around.
You got into the passenger seat of the car with Yeonjun, noticing that Huening had gotten into the backseat of the car, you both made eye contact for a moment before shrugging it off upon seeing Wooyoung start driving to wherever this destination was, making you both follow shortly after.
Pulling into different driveways, you finally arrived a normal looking house with then lights on, you stared in confusion as you checked your phone, looking up the address on your maps and seeing this exact same location.
“I'm confused- if this is just a normal house then why would the alarms go off?” You asked, looking outside your window at the property. You heard Yeonjun shuffling around beside you, preferably getting himself prepared for anything that might've been about to happen.
“Yeah well, if the alarms went off then something went down inside that house.” he said, opening his car door and exiting the vehicle. You turned around and shared a nod with Huening Kai, both of you exiting the car right after Yeonjun and making your way to Wooyoung's car, who had been currently standing next to the door, preparing everything necessary.
“Yeonjun, I need you to go with __ for today. Y/n, you'll be with Huening Kai.” Wooyoung said, putting his notepad under his belt, you stared in shock and looked back at Yeonjun who shared your same reaction, Wooyoung looked at you both and shrugged, “It is what it is.”
“Wait- we don't even know what's going on… can you at least tell us?” You asked, looking back at Huening Kai who had been preparing himself. You should've been kinder with the guy, his first case was gonne be a serious one.
Woo sighed, looking back at you and hesitantly speaking, “Someone dangerous might be in there. The owners escaped but we don't know if the intruder might still be in there.”
You frowned slightly, this was a case of possible ‘secret rooms,’ and you had never been good at finding those. You looked back at Huening Kai who had already been looking down at you.
“Are you good at puzzles? Or finding hidden objects? Spotting the difference games?” You asked, seeing his expression change as he thought about it for a moment, looking back at you ready to answer. “I think I can handle- I'm pretty good at spotting the difference games.”
You sighed in relief and led him to the entrance, which had surprisingly been left open, you started off by turning off the lights, it was better to travel at way as the intruder could've potentially been anywhere, and you had no idea how psychotic he could've possibly been.
Your gaze shifted back to Huening, who had been looking around the hallway you both were walking through, arguably looking for any clues. “Keep your volume low. Don't talk loudly and don't be afraid to walk at normal pace. It's easier to hide your presence if you just walk normally.”
Huening looked back at you and nodded, going back to his check his own investigation, checking everything he possibly could. Walls for any noticable indents or misplacements, shelf's with anything that could indicate a secret passageway, basement stairways, attic latters.
“You’know, you seem off.” You muttered, which one caught his attention and you took note of it. “How so?” He mumbled back, looking back at the walls but with his normal friendly tone completely gone. You knew that his tone always softened around you and Yeonjun, but now that calm voice was gone.
“I can't tell- but you just feel different. It feels like you know what's gonna happen, you seem unfased at our cases like this when you should be the most nervous. It almost seems like you knew this was coming…”
His gaze shifted back to you, having seen it from a mirror which was visible straight ahead, you smirked slightly. His eyes become a glare, that same eyes that he had been attempting to hide prior to the alarms going off.
“You didn't get jump scared at the alarms and I happened to notice you looking down at your wrist quite a lot just a couple of minutes before the alarms sounded, your wrist happens to hold a watch. Almost as if you knew it was about to sound, like if you programmed it yourself.”
He looked into the mirror, seeing you frozen in your tracks and looking back at him, turning yourself around shortly after to make eye contact with him, full body turned to face him.
“So tell me the truth, you're already busted.” Your grip tughtening around in your grip, ready to pull the trigger as your fingers wrapped around the lever that became a do or die situation, hiw head fell down low as he lifted his arms, with a smile on his face as he chuckled on about the situation. You jumped back in surprise and felt your trauma come back to you…
The entire reason you got deja vu upon hearing him for the first time. This was the same man you had seen just a day ago. The same laugh and speech. The thing that triggered your fight or flight mode against him… was all from of his voice.
“Oh that's funny-” he chuckled, catching his breath from the laugh, you glanced around as your felt your arm loosen up against your gun, as they began to sweat.
“If you truly knew what I was up to- you'd know that I was waiting for you to turn around.”
The realization of the trap hit you, but only whenever it was already too late. You felt a blunt amount of force bang against your head, enough to knock you out completely, you slumped back a few steps before falling over completely.
Beomgyu caught you just before you could fall, putting you down lightly as he looked at Kai. “That's what you wanted right…? To knock her out?”
Kai nodded and bended down to look at you, checking your air circulation and bending down to listen to your heart. “Looks like she wasn't smart enough to dodge our game. It's her fault.”
Beomgyu’s expression changed a bit, looking at your unresponsive body, “She's still alive right?”
“Yeah, your hit wasn't fatal, best of all she'll remember everything when she wakes up.”
“I don't think it's good to remember some stranger hitting you in the back of the head with a baseball bat.” Beomgyu added, making Huening roll his eyes.
“You know what I mean.”
Huening ordered Beomgyu to pick you up and escort you out, which Beongyu listened. Bringing you out of the building, Huening following shortly after.
“How could you fall for such an obvious trap being such a clever girl? If anyone needs extra training it's you.”

Opening your eyes and seeing lights above your head, your brain was fuzzy and you felt slight nausea, your eyes took a moment to focus before they were finally able to look around the room at your surroundings.
Immediately reacting upon seeing an unfamiliar setting, one you had never seen before. You felt your heart start beating faster, suddenly finding it hard to breathe as you began to recall everything that happened before you had last all consciousness, you gripped your shirt on your heart side, hearing your racing heart all the way from your ears. Panic beginning to settle in.
The door knob began to twist, opening with a squeak as the door was pulled shut. Your eyes, having been watering, had a hard time focusing on the person who was in front of you, even after you couldn't comprehend where you had heard the voice before. Luckily one thing was for sure, at least it hadn't been Huening Kai…
“I'm glad you're awake, you weren't gone for too long which is lucky. Don't worry your safe, I hope at least.” The voice said, in which you recognized, but couldn't registers whose voice it had been.
“Y/n? Look at me, and lay down.”
A small force had been pushing down your shoulders, which were too tired to push back violating all the rules of science, you laid down on your back and finally had a chance to see who this was.
“Wooyoung? Where are we?”
“The casino.”
“Casino!? Woo, this is illegal you need to arrest everyone here-”
“I can't, someone's already in charge of that.”
“Oh great- is Yeonjun here? I need to speak with him privately about some information I figured out-”
Wooyoung put a finger over your mouth, making you stop talking completely and stare at him confused, seeing him shake his head in disagreement as he disregarded your statement, “There's not use, keep what you found out to yourself Y/n.”
“Wooyoung- you can't be serious. What are you even doing here? How did we get here?”
“I can't explain as of right now.”
You grew annoyed, expresing to him that you weren't in the mood for whatever he was on about. Your gaze made eye contact with Wooyoung- as he figured how to break it. You shook your head in disappointment and rolled your eyes.
“Where's the rest of the team? Let me see them or tell them to come here.” You demanded, to which Wooyoung just shook his head once more.
“You don't understand, I can't-”
“You can't what? Go get them for me?”
“Well if you just let me finish then maybe you'd understand.” Wooyoung glared at you and only then did you realize that this wasn't a joke to him and he was truly being serious. You bowed your head and untensed your shoulders.
“Go on-” you completed, allowing him to continue his sentence. He sighed and shook his head slightly looking around the room.
“Look, I can't contact the others at the moment. They're not here and they don't know where we are. They can't know where we are.” He said as you stared in pure confusion. “Then how are you here..? I got hit in the head really hard and lost consciousness- and you weren't around. So then how did you find me and manage to go unnoticed by the others?” You asked, feeling your heart begin beating faster again as you feared for his response. You prayed that he wouldn't tell you what you thought he would, Wooyoung sighed and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.
“What I'm about to tell you sounds really bad but please don't panic.”
You kept eye contact with Wooyoung steadily, never once breaking it. “Well when you start a sentence like that, it's enough to get me in a state of panic.” you commented, making Wooyoung chuckle slightly.
“Don't take it like that- I don't have much time so I'll make it quick and vague.”
You nodded and waited for him to continue as he hesitantly took a breath and started speaking, only to be interrupted by Huening Kai entering the room with Taehyun beside him, Wooyoung looked back at them, standing up and bowing. Questioning his behavior as you became too stunned to speak, you stuttered out your words, barely getting them out.
“Woo- Wooyoung! Why!? Why do you bow down to them!? Do you know who they even are!?” You yelled, making Wooyoung turn back at you and shake his head in disapproval regarding your behavior.
“Looks like she finally woke up. Thank you Taehyun, you did a good job taking care of her.” Huening smiled and nodded. Taehyun, who had been looking at you, glanced back at Huening before shifting his gaze back to you, a smile forming on his face as he held a bowl of soup, which was arguably for you.
Huening Kai sat down on the chair Wooyoung had been on, which sat next to your bed where you had been kept. You hadn't noticed previously but only then did you hear the instrumental music which had been heard from outside the room.
“Listen here, if you can be obedient and do what I ask of you, you'll be out of here soon.”
Disgust filled your expression and you looked at him, trying to find the reasoning behind his statement. You glanced back at Wooyoung and Taehyun, who had been looking at you, awaiting your response. “Why should I have to listen to you?” You finally managed to mutter out.
Huening sat back on the chair, swinging it and lifting it off the ground. Arms and legs crossed as he looked above you at the ceiling. “You're stubborn.” He commented, thinking of what he could be a proper response for you as he kept his gaze strong and firm. His eyes were back to that emotionless void that you had seen previously, which somewhat saddened you as well as terrified you.
“Let's see, I don't have plans of killing you, but if it so happens that you tick me off too much then I might as well stain my hands a little.” he said, in a voice so calm and collected that it gave you chills, his head turned back to face you completely with such an innocent stare… truthfully he looked like any regular human being. How could someone talk about murder as if it was an everyday task?
Consequences were always gonna be there and so was karma, but you couldn't help but notice some sort of sincerity in his eyes. Something in you really did tell you that he was being honest, and he truthfully had no intentions of hurting you. So all you could do was nod in response, keeping your head low in disappointment of yourself for being manipulated once more.
He smirked and nodded, getting up from his chair and instructing Taehyun and Wooyoung to follow him. Taehyun turned around, bowing down to you and respectfully leaving the room, Wooyoung however stayed still, looking back at Huening and fidgeting with his fingers.
“If it's okay- I'd like to speak with Y/n. Privately.” He said, making Huening turn around and nod in response, “Just don't say too much.” He added, before escorting himself and Taehyun out of the room.
Immediately shooting your eyes right back to Wooyoung once the door shut, your head shaked in disappointment. “What are you gaining out of this? You betrayed us and now you expect me to reason with you!?”
Wooyoung state clearly disagreed with what you had said, as all he did was stare before shaking his head. “You've got it all wrong- I didn't betray anyone except Huening, I began working with him for investigation purposes. We weren't getting anywhere with his case so the only way to possibly move forward was to side forces with him.”
You didn't respond, simply looking away in disapproval, he knew and nodded, “You have a right to be mad but hear me out… he's not as bad as we make him come off-”
“That man kidnapped my father Wooyoung! That man ruined my everything! And now you're claiming he's not that bad!? How heartless could you be-”
“You don't know the full story Y/n. I know it sounds bad, but if you and the others knew the whole story you'd think the same as me, you're just too quick to judge.”
Leaning back on your bed and watching as Wooyoung got up and left the room. Of course you wouldn't believe him, and you wouldn't until you saw it for yourself and had enough of a reason to know you weren't being played again.
___________
Sitting in what looked to be an interrogation room, although it clearly wasn't. You sat across from Hyuka who had his computer open, he had been silent and hadn't spoken to you for possibly over 10 minutes, so you just sat and waited for him to check in.
Somewhat awkward, you sat and fidgeted with your fingers, attempting to find something to distract yourself from the tense scene you were in, until he finally, at last lifted his head and took a long, exhausted breath.
“Do you know who she is?” He turned his computer around to show you the screen, which held the picture of a woman who appeared to be in her mid 40’s. All you could do was glance back at him and shake your head.
“What business do you have with her? If you tell me a convincing enough story you might be able to pursue me in giving out information about an innocent human being.” You crossed your arms and legs, leaning back on the chair and slightly smirking, trying to get a reaction out of him. He sighed and looked up slightly, thinking of a response.
“Look, I don't plan to harm you, but if you can't do this simple task I might end up having to call someone to take care of you-”
“Why can't you do it yourself?” You immediately interrupted, having a skeptical tone to yourself as you questioned whether this man was actually dangerous in the first place or if he couldn't defend himself, he chuckled automatically knowing what you were thinking.
“I wouldn't hesitate with anyone else, but I could never hit a girl.”
Grinning, and disregarding his words you rolled your eyes, “Well at least you're gentle.” Upon hearing you, he automatically started laughing which got you off guard, making you jump back in surprise as you hadn't heard that side of him. You really hated to admit it but it truly amazed you how attractive this guy could get.
“Listen Ms. Know it all, I have things to take care of so just tell me what you know of her and I'll let you go for now, bring you back when I need you.”
Lifting an eyebrow, you shifted your mouth to one side of your face, making it more apparent on your right cheek. “So you're just gonna admit that you're using someone being that direct about it? Red flag if you ask me.” you teased, motioning as if you could never.
He rolled his eyes, “Listen, I'm not joking, I don't have all day so I'd really appreciate it if you could just tell me what you know of her.”
“If you don't have time then that means i'll only be here until you gotta go right? So then what's the point?”
He shook his head in denial, “Wrong, I have backups who’ll come in and stay with you until they get something out of you.”
“Ugh, you're so persistent-”
He smirked in response, leaning his cheek to his right fist and beginning to play with his pen which sat in his right hand, making small finger turns with it allowing him to spin it around and do a couple of tricks with it.
“It's what I do best.”
Rolling your eyes, you finally spoke up, “Her name is Kim Minju, born in 1982, moved overseas at 8 years old and moved back at 23. Why?” You lifted an eyebrow, immediately making him sit up straight and look at you straight in the eyes.
“What else do you know?”
You sighed and crossed your arms once again, putting your feet on the ground and beginning to swing your chair back and forth. “How do I know I'm not potentially helping you with your next murder?”
He sighed and leaned back on his chair, “I won't deny it cause you are, but if you knew my reasoning, you wouldn't hesitate on telling me everything you know about her.”
Hesitantly, you finally agreed, telling him as little information as you could get away with. You didn't know much about her to begin with, just regular things, you didn't know her address or anything regarding her personal life, however it proved to be enough for Huening and he thanked you and asked you to be taken back to your room.
The guilt of being the reason for why someone was gonna be killed sooner than planned ate you up inside, however you just couldn't stop thinking about those words.
“You don't know the full story Y/n. I know it sounds bad, but if you and the others knew the whole story you'd think the same as me”
“But if you knew my reasoning, you wouldn't hesitate on telling me everything you know about her.”
It really got you thinking, who was in the wrong, was it you or him? Even Wooyoung, someone who had worked in the station for as long as you and Yeonjun believed that this was truly the right thing. So what was going on behind the scenes?
The door slammed open, catching you off guard and nearly making you jump out of your skin.
“Hello!!!!”
Hand on your heart and breathing heavily you stared at the handsome man who was awkward standing in the fronts of your room, tall and slim figure with chocolate brown hair, you gulped to see him still smiling with a bowl of ramen in his hands, he was frozen and staring at you almodt as if uou clicked the pause button.
“Um… hello..?” You responded, snapping him out of the cloud nine, making him approach you with a friendly smile.
“May I ask who you are…?” You asked, trying to keep your voice respectful as he grabbed the lap desk that had been in-between your bed and side table, placing in on your lap and putting the plate over it.
“Am I aloud to say my name?” He yelled, causing you to lift an eyebrow as you questioned who he was talking to. You saw the same guy from earlier walk by the room, stopping at the entrance and leaning against the door frame.
“I mean I guess so. She knows Hyuka’s name and probably knows mine, so go ahead.” He responded, making the previous guy turn back to face you with his friendly smile back.
“Then I'm Choi Beomgyu, nice to meet you, I was the one who knocked you out with a baseball just in case you didn't know.”
You couldn't help but snort at the add on, noticing the other guy’s eyes widen and stare straight a Beomgyu as if he wasn't supposed to say that.
“I like the confidence, You say it as if it was an honor, I like that.”
He nodded and looked back at Taehyun giving you the best of the best, “Well, since you recently woke up, what would you like to drink? Any deserts or allergies we should be aware of?”
Chuckling, you responded, “I like the 5 Star Restaurant service. I'd just like some water, I should hydrate after Mr. Choi Beomgyu smacked me in the head with a baseball bat. Gotta make sure I don't get a concussion.” You shrugged, automatically making him smile and walk out of the room. You shaked you head thinking about how silly the entire interaction was, looking back at your bowl and doing a few couple checks to confirm the food hadn't been poisened, noticing every single one showed the food was safe, you were still skeptical, but you were hungry so you ultimately decided to eat.
Beongyu came back with Taehyun, holding your glass of water. You thanked them and continued eating. One outstanding fact that made you uncomfortable, was the fact that the two of them took a seat on two chairs which were around the room. You thought they would just drop off the food but both remained still and unmoving.
“Um, excuse me… do you need something?” You brought yourself to ask in a low tone, feeling your stomach begin to swirl in a worry. They both shared a similar expression which was hard to read, but it could be the best described as just, pity. Nothing more, but pure pity.
“Why are you guys looking at me like that…?”
They didn't answer, they just kept staring until eventually they glanced at each other and Taehyun sighed. “I think I'm gonna go- it's a bit quiet now.”
Beomgyu nodded as he himself also stood up. Assuming he was gonna leave, you looked back at your food, noticing Taehyun's feet go out of sights but Beongyu’s stop right outside of your view of vision. You looked back up to see him looking at you again, a little taken back when he saw you stare at him directly in the eyes.
After some time of looking at the floor, he lifted his head to meet your eyes again.
“Hyuka isn't the bad guy here-”
You tsk’d at the situation you found yourself in once again, Beomgyu looked back at you and brought his eyebrows down low, he was worried.
“Yeah well- Wooyoung said that to.”
Beomgyu kept his eye contact with you as he saw your eyes beginning to water.
When you were young, your father was the only rope of support for you. Having grown up in an isolated mountain far from the city, you spent most of your time at home. You knew that being a single parent was difficult on your father, that's why you barely spent time with him. He was always at work and when he came home he was tired, so you just let him be.
Most of your childhood was spent at school and with your father, so it was no wonder that you were confused when you woke up to see your dad gone and no where to be found inside the house. He had never come back, and only then did the investigation team come to inform you of his disappearance.
That was it… the most important person in your life? Gone in a snap of a finger. And if there was anything you regretted the most in life, it was not being there for him when he had done that exact thing for you. Starting you career as an officer, you went in with the thought that your father had just abandoned you, the stress of parenting had gotten to him, and he left. But if there was really a chance that he had been captured, you wanted to find him, even if his bones were the last thing remaining.
“It's true-” he responded, making you look back up at him, seeing his sincere eyes. “You'll understand soon- Just be patient.”
Grip tightening onto the blanket in which you laid under, frustration becoming visible from your veins.
“Everyone says that- I've waited for my dad for over a decade. Haven't I been patient enough? I just want to see my father, dead or alive.”
You couldn't keep your tough figure, you burst into tears the very next moment. Beomgyu patted your back, making you jump in surprise to his comfort. But you needed a shoulder to cry on, even if that meant it had to be an enemy's.
Before he exited the room, he turned to you.
“You'll see him soon, he's not dead- but I can't promise he'll stay like that for too long.”
However, you were crying too much that all you could do was nod. You had so much on your mind that you wanted to say, but unfortunately couldn't
