"Yes...yeah yeah! Okay, so- can you?" He scrutinised his gaze at the floor while his mind remained fixated in the line. "Thank you so much! Yeah yeah only Busan and Seoul reports are needed for now...Thanks again! Bye!" He gave out a breathe of relief as he put down the phone and looked at her. "There, done."

She broke into a smile and thanked him.

"Honestly, with all the busy reports of serial killers and perverts these days, it was hard to get someone like Jaein to help you with this."

"I can see that..." She smiled awkwardly. After waiting for almost 4 hours, obviously Haeun got the idea how hard it is actually. She stood up from her chair and put her sling bag across her back, "Well then, I'll get going now. And again- Thank you so much, for helping me this much!"

He also stood up immediately, "No no its absolutely okay. Please keep our phone numbers with you, I'll call you as soon as we get any clue about Dr. Hong."

"Sure!"

She was about to leave when he called her out by her name, "Miss Haeun!" She turned around with a confused expression. He said, "I know its not my part of duty to ask you this but, why are you looking for death reports only? Do you have a thought that he might be dead? Normally people try to look for their journey reports and bank transactions in cases like this..."

Haeun was almost baffled. She herself didn't know why she looked for death reports instead of these.

"I...I would be lying if I say I came prepared for this situation. But I'm just doing what my gut is saying right now and yeah I'm just preparing myself for the worst at this point." She got back from her trance and said, "But yeah, if possible can you perhaps check on all those things as well?"

"Yeah sure! I'll look into that. And please try to think positive things and be safe on your way." He smiled and bowed as he said that. She nodded and turned to leave.

I dunno what I'm doing but I know for what I'm doing all these...and that's what matters now.

"I seriously wanna know what the hell is going on here in my residence!" She kept on standing there and blabbering, disturbing the whole team in the meantime. "Hey, why're you touching that one?! Leave that there!" 

Jungkook got startled and immediately put down the vase he was about to check. He put his hands up and quickly went to the hyungs.

"Gosh that woman is scary!" He whisper yelled at them.

Taehyung was about to start a fight as he headed straight where she was standing. But Yoongi saw that and immediately stopped him signing that he would handle her. "You go do the forensic part of work, did you bring what I told you to from the lab?"

"Yeah everything is here in my bag."

"Okay go then." Yoongi was about to take the samples cause other than forensic department officers, only Yoongi was the one who was good in this. But the situation turned to something where he needs to take the lead to remove the wanted so that the investigation can go smoothly.

"Ah, I'm really sorry ma'am that we had to start the searching all of a sudden without any prior notice-"

"Searching?! This doesn't even looks like a normal searching but a freaking raid!" Yoongi was interrupted by the woman's complaints. "Wait- do you even have any warrant?"

"Of course ma'am. Here." He handed out the warrant to her. But looking at her, the way she just glanced over the paper in utter confusion, he could tell she doesn't know how to read properly. So he decided to narrate. "Its written that we can search your residence as long and as many times we need to do for our investigation purposes."

"What?!" She yelled out hearing that. "As long and as many times you want? Are you serious? Aren't you violating our privacy that way? And you all aren't even from police!"

Yoongi was about to say something but got interrupted by none other than Youngdo. "Who said we aren't from police?" He pulled out his police ID proof and displayed in front of her face. "Here my ID. And we don't 'want to' but 'need to' do what we're obliged to and we would like to have your kind cooperation with us or else...we'll need to arrest you under the offence of hiding evidences of a criminal and then continue with our job. I hope you won't enjoy that, will you?"

The colour of her face suddenly faded hearing that and she gulped. With stuttered tongue she replied, "No no- I-I didn't mean to stop you all from searching the p-place actually- actually I was sensing of fraud and nothing else. Cause y-yesterday also another girl came to look for Dr. Hong here and tried to barge in. Good thing than that I caught her in time!"

A girl? I hope its not who my mind thought of-

"A girl? Who's she?" Yoongi asked.

"I don't know. She's probably in her mid 20s or so, not sure though. She said that she's looking for him here as she heard that he left Busan recently. She was probably looking for him for check up or something cause she didn't even know about his past problem which made him run away from here."

"What past problem are you talking about?" Youngdo asked.

The woman scrutinized her gaze and asked, "Don't you know about his debtor's problem? He took a huge amount of loans from a lot of debtors and ran away with his wife with all that money to Busan to escape the debtors."

Both the guys exchanged glances hearing that and then Yoongi asked, "But did that girl come today again? Or left any message for Dr. Hong yesterday?"

"No I didn't see her here again. But yeah that day after she left, she came back in a minute or two and..." Flashbacks from yesterday night's events started to play in her mind...

≡≡≡≡≡

Haeun suddenly thought of something as she left the Dr. Hong's old place. She ran in there again.

"Hello ma'am!" She called out the woman, who was closing the main door of the house.

The woman peeked out and asked, "What is it now?"

"Uhm, sorry to bother you again but can you pass my message to Dr. Hong if he comes back here?" She pleaded. "You don't have to tell him much. Just let him know that, I need to know about Jimin."

The woman thought for some moment and said, "I don't know if he'll be back or not and obviously the chances are less. But if he does, I'll let him know your message."

"Thank you so much, ma'am!" She bowed and was about to leave when something struck in the woman's mind and she called out her.

"But wait- what's your name again? Who should I mention if he asks me whose message is that?"

She turned towards her and said, "You don't have to. Just pass my message to him. He'll know."

≡≡≡≡≡

"And she left after that. Tsk! As if that person will come back here to pay his rent!" The woman concluded the flashbacks with a scoff.

Jimin...?

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation ma'am. But we would like to know about Dr. Hong a bit mo- Yoongi?" Youngdo stopped and found Yoongi standing and looking somewhere in daze. Youngdo looked at that direction to find nothing and tapped his shoulder. "What happened? What are you looking at?"

Yoongi came back to senses and shook his head saying, "No, nothing. I was thinking about something else. You carry on with this, I'll go help the rest."

He nodded and turned to the woman and continued, "Okay then, let's get back to our interrogation part. So, when did he start to live here?"

By the time they were busy interrogating the woman there, Yoongi found the rest of them almost completed the searching. Taehyung was slowly working on taking some samples, when Yoongi asked him to leave the rest to him and join Youngdo instead.

And while completing taking the samples only one name kept on ringing in his head.

Jimin.

Haeun was entering their apartment with slow steps. Today literally went under turmoil for her. To be honest, not just today but since the day she started to get flashbacks about her past.

She sighed and walked inside the elevator. Her hand was reaching to click on the number button for her floor but suddenly it retreated. She quickly clicked on the door open button and rushed out.

She came to the place where all the mail boxes are placed with their owner names and room numbers and started to search for hers.

As soon as she found hers, she saw a big fat envelop, crumpled and hanging out of the mouth of the box.

"That's it!"

She quickly pulled it out of if and checked the envelop thoroughly from outside without opening it.

"Woah! The mail actually came on time! Perfect." She quickly put it folded it a bit and put it inside her bag and left for the elevator.

"Oof! At last!" Jin sighed in relief as the tests are all done and now only the tested results need to be send to the documenting team for the official reports. 

He cleaned the room and put all the papers where he put down the results in a file and put in his bag. He then took his and was heading down to his room.

"Should I call Yoongi and tell him the results?" He thought and smirked, "No. I'll torment him by making him wait just like he tormented me by handing those samples for testing yesterday! Oh my beauty sleep-" 

He suddenly stopped and screamed, "Wait- I forgot to do my lunch! And its almost evening gosh!"

He almost ran down to the first floor and ran inside the kitchen. He found his meal covered perfectly with a food net. His eyes gleamed at the sight of food but his excitement dropped remembering the fact that he'll need to waste more time in heating the food now.

He lazily went to wash his hands and put half of the foods inside the microwave. In the meantime, his father entered the kitchen and found him.

"What're you doing here now, Jin?"

Jin quickly closed the door and turned to find his father.

He gave a childish smile and said, "Sorry actually I forgot to do my lunch so I came here for some food and found Yeolmoo kept my meal here."

"At this hour? Its going to be time for dinner soon! Seriously, you never listen to me. Anyways, go do your lunch or dinner- whatever you call it, do it quickly."

He pushed his wheel chair by himself towards the freezer when Jin asked, "Okay but do you need anything, Dad? I can get you. And where's Yeolmoo?"

"Oh I just needed some water. And Yeolmoo went to home for a while."

Jin pulled out the fridge door and took a bottle of water from it. Pouring it in the glass and he then handed it to him. And asked, "He works by shift or what?"

"Well, actually it happened to be some urgent situation I guess, I mean- he also has a family to look after anyway. And also you're home today so I let him go." He smiled.

Jin sighed and said, "And what if I wasn't home today and he asked for a break like this? And you let him go and if anything happened while we were gone- no, I don't even want to think. But don't take any decision hastily anymore!"

"Oh cm'on Jin...he'll be back soon! He just stays nearby."

He drank a bit of water from the bottle and continued, "Look, I didn't go against your decision of hiring him but this situation alone is making me think about it now." He crouched down to his father's level and said, "Please be aware of your surroundings more, Dad."

His father held his shoulders and looked at his eyes and said, "Jin. You know you should've just joined the interrogation team with Yoongi and not waste your years on learning forensic science instead."

"Not again Dad-"

"Cause the more I see you these days, the more I feel like you belong to Sherlock Holme's ancestral line." He started to laugh out loud seeing Jin's annoyed look.

That's when the microwave alarmed that the food is ready to be eaten. He stood up and quickly got the food out of the microwave and said, "I won't say anything today cause I'm already tired of this tease. Thank you."

He started to laugh more loud and turned back his wheel chair. "Okay you're welcome my son!"

As he left, Jin sat down by the table with his food and said with a smile, "You'll never change, Dad."
