"And then after she went outside, she never came back again." Eunseo was on the verge of tears. Her husband was holding her close, trying to calm her down. I look over to Taeyong who was looking at them with blank eyes. He then looked down to the floor a little depressed.

I open my mouth speak to him but hold myself back. "Did the two sisters fight the day before?" He asked tilting his yo now facing them again. "I don't know, you'll have to talk to Hwa Young." "May we talk to her?" "Oh yes of course. Hwa Young!" Hwa Young immediately comes and sits close to her parents. "The officers want to talk to you—" "it won't take long" I finish off Eunseo's talk, smiling slightly. She nods and the couple walks out the room.

"Now Hwa Young, how old are you?" I start just get a liking. "8 years old." She says shyly looking at Taeyong instead. I look at Taeyong and see him making a face. I slap his arm. "We're trying to solve a case not play games Lee Taeyong." "She's a child Y/N L/N, I can have fun with her." Hwa Young giggles. "You two fighting is so cute!" She giggles more. A flush of red tints my cheeks. I shake my head and continue on.

"Are you doing good in school?"

"Yeah."

"Have any friends?"

"Plenty."

"So how was your sister the day before Christmas Eve?"

"I mean she started acting weird on Monday." (let's just say Christmas was on a Sunday)

"What were her actions?" Now it Taeyong's turn.

"So since we don't have school since we're on break we stayed home. When we usually don't have school, she'll sleep in till like 12:00. But she woke up at 6:30 in the morning."

"Has this been going everyday after that?"

Hwa Young nods. "She would always just say, 'I can't sleep.' but her eyes look so baggy...." " Oh and she would always go to the restroom."

"Do you know why?"

"I didn't but I do now."

Taeyong look at each other and then back to the girl. "What did she do?"

"She would go and throw up. I don't know but like anytime anywhere she would have the need to throw up."

"Jiyee must be sick. Did you even tell your parents this?"

"No." "Well I think you should." I tell her straight forward. "But I don't want to..." "Why?" "Because she is obviously their favorite daughter! Gosh! She gets all the attention and I get none!" Hwa Young was now standing up from her seat about to cry. I stand up and hug her. "No sweetie, both of  your parents love you equally the same."

"How would you know that!?" Hwa Young forces herself out of my grip and looks at me angry.

"Hey. Stop Park Hwa Young. please understand that a parent cannot love a child more than the other. You are very valuable to your parents too, if you go missing too, your parents would be even in a more worse emotional state right now. They're very lucky to have you and that you are not missing too. Just know that, ok?" Taeyong kneels down and looks her straight in the eye and keeps talking.

"It's very very hard for a parent to lose their child. Very. And it's painful in the heart, it's like the world has come to an end and everything fades away.... nothing is the same anymore.... please understand this for me, and just listen to us, ok?" Hwa Young nods silently. Taeyong wipes her tears with his fingers. "And parents don't like it when their children cry."

~time skip, now waiting for their lunch~

"I didn't know you were so good with children Taeyong. I was so touched by your mini speech back there." I compliment. "Yeah, I have experience." "You're a dad!?" "No. I have nieces and nephews." "Oh ok." Currently we're waiting for our food at the ramen shop we found close by but it feels like everything is so suspicious....

TAEYONG P.O.V

I am definitely not letting Y/N know what I've been through. I mean yeah she is nice and friendly but I just can't let her. While Y/N is chatting away, being her clumsy squirt she is, which I think it's cute, I take a look at her. It was like everything was in slow motion. I get lost but then realize what I'm doing. No No...

"Things seem suspicious here.....don't you think Taeyong?" "Why do you think that squirt?" "It's just that I feel like we're being watched." she replies. "Hmm, ok well the food is here so lets eat and talk about it." "ok whatever but I can sense something....."
