I'm always ready for a war again. Go down that road again. It's all the same

"Jay Park."

Its silent in the room and Mr Min allows the both of them to sit. Namjoon just watches Akai as she looks at the man in the photo. Her face showed rigid pain and fault. As if she could've done something. Namjoon turns to the picture once again.

The man in the picture had a quiff and wore a black t-shirt. Revealing the tattoos on his neck and arm. He looked scary and dangerous with his piercings and tattoos. Namjoon wondered how on earth his wife knew this man.

"Miss?"

"Klin. Klin Akai." Namjoon answers for her.

"My pardon. Miss Klin, do you know what Jay Park does for a living? He was your deceased boyfriend's best friend, I'm sure you knew him on a personal level." Mr Min questions.

"Yes." Akai thinks back to her moments with Jay Park.

"That's okay. Do you have any essential details on him?"

"Dean belonged to a gang. I'm not sure what they were called but I knew the members. Jay was one of them." Akai scratches her head. Namjoon ponders over her words, Sindy involved herself with gangs and maybe even drugs? And also that Akai's boyfriend was a drug dealer, was she then into drugs and..bad boys? Wait... Who said anything about drugs...maybe it was just a gang of thugs..hooligans.. Namjoon thinks in his head.

"Dean and Jay would sometimes come by my house and count money," the detective nods his head. Typical gang behavior, he thinks.

"Did Jay by any chance mention 'L.L.W.T.P.Q'?" The detective asks.

"Long Liver With The Pose Queen? Yes he mentioned it quite a lot. Trying to get Dean to join but unfortunately Dean was too sick to do anything." Akai explains. "I think it was some type of crowd funding. But instead of money it would be young ladies or drugs... I'm not sure." She puts the picture down and Namjoon stops staring at her. Drugs and Woman, typical gang behavior, Namjoon thinks.

He didn't know what to make of what she said and what he had come to realise in his mind.

"Okay thank you Miss Klin Akai. May I request one thing from you?" He asks. Akai peaks at Namjoon who has the same stale expression. He nods his head giving her permission to accept.

"Yes, you may."

"Are you still in contact with Jay Park?"

Akai thinks for a moment, had she even got his number before? Yes she had, all those times Dean wanted a clean record because the cops started monitoring his calls. "No. But I have his number,"

"During this week when you have time I need you to raffle him up a bit about what he knows about Kim Sindy. Sometimes when we detectives go on scene they tend not to be truthful and take the CRS road," She nods eagerly. Namjoon stays silent in his seat unable to say anything because of how the situation turned around and landed between him and Akai.

"I can do that." She says.

"That's all you have to do. We'll handle the rest of the ground work." He says.

Akai's POV:

He has been silent ever since we left the detective's office. I don't know what to do, or how to make him smile again. I know he's probably trying to understand all the things that just happened.

"Namjoon?" She calls, he looks over at her with a short 'hmm'. I hope he isn't mad with me.

"Please Namjoon. Speak to me you're making me nervous?"

We are on our way to my house and the road their is quit long. So if he keeps up this attitude it will become awkward and unpleasant.
Namjoon looks up at Akai and looks forward again keeping silent. I feel like puffing out and yelling at him to just 'WAKE UP!'
Why is he being like this? Is it because of what the detective had said about Sindy?

"Are you mad at Sindy?" He stops turbidly and looks over to me his eyebrow raised.

"Sindy?" He asks.

"I mean the involvement and connection she had with those men." I say a little bit timid by his sudden switch form. He continues walking and makes sure I'm following him.

"You still have connections with one of them," he says.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask feeling a little mad.

"Akai." He sighs. "Look, Sindy died because of whatever connection she had with those man. I don't want you to put yourself in hot water because of this," Namjoon says. "Sindy clearly showed that whatever it was that happened behind closed doors did not end up well and the result of that was death." Namjoon's behavior changes slightly a bit...maybe its just my imagination but he seems angry at her..

I nod, my anger diminishing so I can talk calmly. "Namjoon, please trust me." I stop him and hold both sides of his shoulders, tilting his head towards me so that he may look at me. "I too do not want to do this, but I need to because-"

"To prove what?"

"- because," I continue ignoring him. "Sindy was your wife and she means so much to you. I want to help you to solve this case." I look into both his dark eyes. I see pain and worry in them. "Don't worry so much, Namjoon. The fact that there's something I can do in order to help you, then I will do it."

He looks at me for a minute or so and holds both my wrists on either side of his shoulders and brings my right hand to his face kissing the back. My heart races quicker then normally before getting back to normal. Did he do that unconsciously?

"Thanks for caring enough to do all this," he says looking down at me. "You're amazing." He smiles. I can't help it as the tiny blush comes to my cheeks that I look down. He chuckles, "My little penguin."

"Don't ruin it," I sternly say.

He chuckles for a while, "Okay. I'll allow you to help,"

I smile in return my fingers having a mind of their own as they graze his cheek which is soft.

"But you have to promise to tell me first before you tell the detective,"

"No problem." I say immediately. "It's your case but mine,"

"And also," he hesitates a bit. "If you go with me with me to Jay Park's place."  He says.

I don't know why he fidgeted so much. It's not like Jay hates people..he knows. He hates people he doesn't know. Well since Namjoon is my friend then I'm sure Jay will love him.

I wonder how Jay Park is. I guess I'll have to call or visit him.

"Sure,"
