Namjoon was sipping his drink and he turned on the television in his cafe. It was only a few minutes and Taehyung was back with his favourite books. "Taehyung ah, I just asked for one," he said, but Taehyung smiled cheekily as he doesn't know what to bring since he recently saw Namjoon with three books and he brought all three. Namjoon couldn't help but smile at his bread cheeks and shook his head before keeping the books on the shelf.

The moment when a particular piece of news was flashed on the tv, Namjoon's eyes went to it. He went near the tv and turned on the volume. He sighed as he looked at one person who was displayed on the screen. Taehyung, who noticed Namjoon, also listened to the news. A reporter was saying something in front of an apartment.

As it was the second time murder happening in the same pattern, people around the place were terrified to come out at night. Even though the Police found some clues, they say they are still in the progress to catch the criminal behind these crimes. Is it someone in this area or he's an outsider? Let's listen to what Ms Jung wants to say about it.

The reporter passed the mic to the lady who was next to him.

"You've said everything, what else should I say now?" Ms Jung said and the reporter gulped at her words. She sighed before turning to the camera. "As we all know, this is the second time it is happening in this apartment. We found some clues but it seems like the clues had nothing to do with the crimes. We will never let this happen again as we protected this whole area and especially this apartment. We are not letting anyone leave this city as we still have a few of them to investigate thoroughly about this case. Since he's one of the richest people in this country, we still have no idea why he was here last night. Believe in us, we will do our best, thank you."

As she talked to the camera, she moved away from all the reporters and went to her car. They were someone already in the car, waiting for her. "Let's go already, I hate people," she said, buckling her seatbelt. The blonde man, who was seated next to her in the driving seat, chuckled staring at her.

"What? Let's go." she chimed and he shook his head before starting the ignition. "Yoongi, what?" she asked again and the blonde man looked at her with a smile. "Just relax, it's not like we haven't seen such cases," he said, making her chug down the water quickly. "But still, he was not just one of the richest asses but one of the illegal men who we wanted to arrest, but I didn't wish him to be killed, cause I still want answers about his drugs and stuff," she said, making Yoongi nod at her.

'Destinee, you know what I am wondering." Yoongi said, and she looked at the man with big eyes. "How do you still smell bad even after the shower?" he said and she didn't wait to hit his arm harshly. He chuckled as he looked at her. "Don't touch me, you are giving me your viruses," he added, showing his gummy smile. She couldn't help but scoff at the man. "You are so dead, Min Yoongi."

As they reached their office, they came to their professional selves. They got down the car and went to their respective offices. Destinee, who went straight to the chamber, didn't notice there was a guy waiting for her. Yoongi who was busy reading the file walked past the guy but stopped when he heard the guy's voice.

"Yes," Yoongi said, turning to the guy. Yoongi frowned when he witnessed the person. He kinda looked familiar. "I-I just wanted to talk about the murders that happened in the White Whale Apartment." as the guy said, Yoongi nodded, asking him to follow him.

Yoongi seated on his chair and the guy sat in front of him across his glass table. He looked around the room quickly and his eyes landed on Yoongi when he cleared his throat. "Say it," Yoongi said and the guy asked for some water to drink. Yoongi handed him the water and waited for him to gulp it down but he was going impatient with the guy. The guy finally drank it and looked at Yoongi.

"Mr.- uh- Min. I was one of the residents in the apartment a few months ago, we actually moved from that apartment as I got transferred to Gangnam. But we didn't sell the flat, since we bought it for a lot of prices. As my wife suggested, we rented the house." as he said, Yoongi was nodding at him.

"We have a store room where we still have things to keep in there. My little son wanted his piano so badly, so I came back to my house to take it back. But-" he stopped, wiping his forehead. "I-I didn't know I was with the murderer all night," he said and Yoongi's eyes widened. 'What- How do you know?" that's all Yoongi asked.

"Please, I don't want my family or anyone to know this. I actually was with a guy who I met in a club last night. I didn't even know this guy's name. We were all drunk and we fucked up so bad there. He said that he wanted to continue it in my room, but I can't take him anywhere, so I took him to my house in the apartment. Since there was no one in the house as the tenants just moved out, I had no choice but to bring him there. We fucked up so bad and he promised me help to move out the piano to my Gangnam's house. All was going fine until we heard something moving so hard on the above floor."

"Drink this" Yoongi said, as the man was shaking his hands, trembling in fear. "Then this guy went up there to check even though I said not to get into other's business. But- but he didn't come back for a long time. So, I was worried and get there to check it. You know what I saw?" he paused, looking at Yoongi with big eyes.

Yoongi who was curiously looking at the man nodded his head. "Mr Min, I guess we have to go-" Destinee stopped talking when she saw some guy in front of Yoongi. "Ms Jung, please come here. We have something to know." Yoongi suggested and Destinee came to Yoongi and looked at the new guy. "What is that?" she asked and the guy smiled at him.

"What did you see there?" Yoongi asked and finally, the guy looked at him, taking his eyes from her. He took some deep breaths and Yoongi was frowning more as he noticed the sweatdrops on his forehead again.

"No crime"

As Namjoon was serving the coffee, he looked up at Taehyung who was standing in front of a customer for a long time. He squinted his eyebrows and went to him. "Taehyung-" he said, wrapping his arm around Taehyung's shoulder protectively. But Namjoon's eyes widened when he saw a girl in front of him.

"I-I just wanted him to make another coffee, this didn't taste like every day how he makes it," she said, her eyes shaking as soon as she saw Namjoon. "Taehyung, let me take care, you can go," he said, making Taehyung go to the next table. She looked at Taehyung and her eyes never left him.

"Look here, Miss-" he said, making her stare at him. "I know why you are here, but it's not the time for it. If you want, you can come back after 11:30, after closing this shop and we all went to our homes," he said and she scoffed at him. "Why are you always so rude to me? I will make a complaint about this cafe and make you and that cute little boy come to me," she said, and her eyes didn't leave Taehyung even one second.

Namjoon chuckled and blocked her view from Taehyung. "Go on for it. Why are you still here?" he asked, and she cursed under her breath. "I-I hate you," she said, before storming out of the cafe. But she stood outside the cafe and stared at Taehyung through the glass. Taehyung slowly looked up at the girl and she smiled at him before throwing a flying kiss.

Taehyung quickly turned around making her smile disappear in a second. Namjoon who witnessed all of this went back to his regular work.
