[M] File #5: Acquaintance (1/2)

<u>Incheon</u>Junhyung looked to his right and saw Yoseob and Dongwoon walk up to their car.

"So what's going on? What are we doing?" Junhyung asked. "I call shotgun."

"Fuck you." Yoseob grumbled, climbing into the back seat. "The COD for case one was blunt force drama. One of the girls had sex with someone, probably her killer. Second case COD was drug overdose."

"And you saw how the killer kills." Dongwoon spoke, referring to the pictures.

"I saw something no one else did though." Junhyung spoke up. "Artistic touch."

Dongwoon and Yoseob looked at him in surprise.

"Elaborate, Yong." Yoseob asked.

"Well, it looked very arty. The blood was drawn in such a way, it looked like a 3D model."

"That's true." Dongwoon nodded.

"I only wanted to keep this in between us." Junhyung said quietly. "That's why I walked outside."

"Ah." Yoseob nodded, for he had thought that there was some reason behind it.

"How's the girl? Eunjae-ssi?" Dongwoon asked after a while.

"Yeah, she's fine." Junhyung nodded. "So what's the thing for tomorrow?"

"We investigate the hotels. Check out for more clues."

Eunjae sat shotgun, pulling off her soaked hoodie as Kikwang started the car.

"Where to?"

"Just drive, I'll tell you when to turn." Eunjae placed the hoodie over her lap to dry. She pulled off her wig, revealing her long, light brown hair.

"What the-"

"Babysitting, a favour for my brother. The kids made me wear this and I forgot to take it off. It's a long story..." Eunjae sighed, and Kikwang sensed that she didn't want to talk about it.

"Kikwang." He said after a while to break the awkward silence that had engulfed them.

"Eunjae." She nodded. Kikwang glanced at her briefly. She was wearing a black tank top, which showed off a bit of her stomach and a piercing on her belly button as well as a small tattoo on her side.

"Like what you see?" Eunjae arched her eyebrows.

"Dream on, I have a girlfriend." Kikwang shrugged.

"Oh?"

"What? I'm a guy, it's completely natural for me to check you out." Kikwang shrugged. "Your boyfriend would be real lucky, that's for sure."

"Thank you." Eunjae shook her head.

"Finally, someone who takes my jokes good-heartedly." Kikwang grinned.

"I was in America. I majored in psychology at Harvard." Eunjae smiled.

"Not bad. Looking at you, I would have never guessed you were a psychology major."

"Looking at you, I would have never guessed you were a detective." Eunjae shot back.

"Forensic analyst." Kikwang corrected. "I majored in autopsy specialisation. Finished high school early."

"Me too." She nodded, smiling broadly.

"So tomorrow, we're going to go to the hotels and investigate. Turn here."

"Mm. Hopefully, we can find some more clues." He nodded, turning right. "Where do you stay?"

"With my brother and his five friends at their dorm. Well, half-brother actually." Eunjae smiled. "I might crash somewhere else though, living with six hungry boys can get tiresome."

"Looks like you can handle it well though." Kikwang smirked.
