[M] File #10: Hyuna (1/2)

<u style="font-size:13px;line-height:1.6;">Incheon</u>"Eunjae?" Dongwoon arched his eyebrows when he opened the door. Eunjae supported herself by holding on the the doorway, but stumbled and fell to the floor.

"I'm sorry-" She gasped as Dongwoon quickly helped her up. "I ran all the way-"

"Come on, sit down." Dongwoon helped her to the sofa, where she collapsed against it, panting heavily. Just then, two children appeared from one of the rooms.

"What's going on?" The girl looked from Dongwoon to Eunjae.

"Yoona, can you get some water for this unnie, please?" Dongwoon nodded at her. Yoona ran to the kitchen, edging past Yoseob on the way.

"Eunjae?" Yoseob exclaimed. "How did you even get here?"

"Jaejoong gave me the address, it's not too far from where I was before, I actually ran all the way-"

"Catch your breath first, Eunjae." Dongwoon said quietly as Yoona ran back with water.

"Eunjae?!" Junhyung walked into the room, equally bewildered.

"Hey~" She grinned.

"Why are you here?" Yoseob asked.

"This." Eunjae took the postcard out of her bag. Junhyung slowly took it from her and looked at it.

"Salve..." He said quietly. "Isn't that 'Hello' in Italian?"

"Yeah..." Dongwoon slowly nodded. "Is it from the murderer though-"

"Yeah, look, that star's there." Yoseob pointed at the star in the bottom left corner of the postcard. "It is from the murderers."

"Six days then, before the next few girls are killed." Junhyung sighed, then suddenly realised that Yoona and Yoonchul were listening to every word.

"What are you guys doing here? Go on, shoo!" He grabbed them by their shirts and, despite their protests, pushed them into their room.

"Real subtle." Eunjae rolled her eyes as he closed the door.

"Back to topic, six more days-"

"There is one more thing." Eunjae interrupted Junhyung. They all looked at her attentively.

"Go on..." Yoseob nodded.

"Well, I met this girl I bumped into when we got back... it was her band mates that were killed in Incheon. And she said that one of them had a boyfriend that she found fishy." She said quietly.

"Fishy in the sense? Can you elaborate, Eunjae?" Dongwoon asked slowly.

"Well, the girl- Ah, her name was Hyuna, I think - she said something like 'I knew he was trouble when he started dating her...'" Eunjae paused to think. "Hey, wasn't one of the girls in sexual contact? The autopsy?"

"Yeah, that was Jiyoon-ssi, I think..." Yoseob nodded. "Then it must have been her boyfriend who came into the room- Her boyfriend was the murderer, wasn't he?"

"That's what I thought too. And she believes that the murderer and Jiyoon's boyfriend were one and the same person."

"Wait, Heo Gayoon and Jeon Jiyoon?" Junhyung arched his eyebrows. Eunjae nodded.

"Yeah, they were going to debut soon- they were upcoming idols-" Dongwoon's eyes widened. "Holy shit..."

"What is it?!" Eunjae asked.

"If the murderer's known to Hyuna-ssi, don't you think he'd go after her?" Dongwoon said quickly. "Because showing himself to her wouldn't be logical, if we look at this from a murderer's point of view. Maybe that was against his calculations, but I don't think he'll let her live any longer, don't you think?"

"You've got a point.' Junhyung nodded slowly. "So this Hyuna girl is in danger-"

"That means we've got to get to her before the murderers do."

"It's a race."<u>Gwangju</u>"Oh God, oh God~" The girl moaned loudly.

"If you keep moaning like this, I won't be able to stop, and we won't get any work done." He groaned. "Damn, woman, you turn me on so fucking much..."

"Come inside me again, please~" She thrust her head back and caressed her breasts. The man rammed himself into her, sending her into loud yells of ecstasy.beep beep! beep beep!"Ah, damn, looks like someone's interrupted us." The girl smirked as she flipped open her cell phone. Her wide smile, however, was turned into a frown, followed by a low gasp.

"What's wrong?" He asked her, kissing the nape of her neck lightly. She smacked his head lightly and showed him the text message.H spotted with the reporter at Incheon. Waiting for further instructions."Well, fuck." He stood up and pulled on his pants. "We need to get to Hyuna and her groupmates before the cops do."<u>Incheon</u>"So, you've told them everything I've told you, right?" Eunjae asked Junhyung again. Junhyung let out an exasperated sigh and faced her.

"This is the umpteenth time you're asking me that. Look, I told everyone on the team what you told us, and I am positive that I didn't miss anything, so there. Now please, chill, woman. Let me handle this."

Eunjae slowly nodded and timidly walked beside Junhyung down the halls of Cube Entertainment.

"Oh, you're here." Jina and Doojoon nodded at them as they appeared in the hallway. "Good, we're going to meet the CEO, so come on-"

The four of them stepped inside the office.

"Come in, come in." The CEO stood up from his desk and shook hands with the four of them. I'm Hong Seungsung, but you can call me Hong, it's much easier that way."

"Mr. Hong, you might remember Doojoon, our chief, when he last came here-"

"That was around three weeks ago, right? With a red haired man?" He arched his eyebrows. "Oh, now I remember... you're the ones leading the murder case, huh?"

"Yes, we are." Eunjae nodded. "Mr. Hong, I assume you were aware of Jeon Jiyoon's relationship status?"

Clearly, this was news to Mr. Hong, who looked at them bewildered.

"Jiyoon had a boyfriend?" He said quietly.

"We assumed you would have known..." Junhyung looked around. "Can you please call one of your trainees? I believe her name is Hyuna?"

"O-Of course I will." Mr. Hong nodded.

"And if there was any other trainee that was going to debut under this girl group, call them too." Doojoon nodded. Mr. Hong dialled a number on his phone.

"Ah, Hyuna... yeah, yeah, that's good, but listen, come to my office, and bring Sohyun and Jihyun with you- okay then, bye."A few minutes later, the three girls walked in, looking confused.

"Oh, reporter-nim!" Hyuna pointed at Eunjae. "Eunjae-ssi!"

Eunjae smiled at Hyuna before speaking again. "Hyuna, remember what you told me about Jiyoon's boyfriend?"

At once, Hyuna's slightly more cheerful face turned into one contorted with anger.

"Yeah, of course." She growled. "That man, the one who thought he was so glamorous and fabulous, but he ended up killing his girl and her friend-"

Junhyung looked around as Hyuna talked about the possible murderer. Jihyun looked calm and composed, while Sohyun looked scared. The CEO expression remained the same as he absorbed the news.
