2. Get together

"W-we have been selecting some teens on whom Dr. Shin Yi-jin was going to conduct some tests related to his newly invented drug. Taewoo was going to be our first trial..."

Amber turned off the recording which was being played infront of the Chief Kim Namjoon to apprise him about the progress they had made in the case.

"Our team has found the location of this doctor and soon they'll be her with everyone who was involved in this" Jimin stated.

The case was now finally sorted and the criminals were getting arrested, so the Chief, Kim Namjoon suggested, "We should get together for a drink tonight, it's been a while since we had one". And eventually everyone agreed to it.

Taehyung being the most excited reached the chosen restaurant quite early accompanied by his favourite among the team his chief. Namjoon was just like his elder brother who a would guide and protect him and even scold sometimes when he went wrong. He was the missing piece that the puzzle of Tae's life needed.

They sat for a while chitchatting about some random stuff when the new lieutenant entered in a black tshirt matching with her lowers which were all black with some grey and white linings. Her undercut and tattoos filling her right arm adding to the tom boy vibe.

"Hey Amber, over here!" Taehyung spoke out and Amber joined the two.

Soon Jimin joined them and by then they had ordered some japchae along with some stewed meat and a few bottles of soju. They began with the dinner as they tossed cheers for the culmination of the case and also to welcome the new officer, Amber Liu.

"The suspect seemed a hard nut, how did you crack it? I mean, made him confess" Taehyung asked.

"Not much! just a kick and he was done " she spoke casually.

"You shouldn't be hard on everyone though" Namjoon asserted whereas Tae gasped in awe to how cool thier new companion was.

"He was all shivering and sweating while he tried to look confident, moreover he couldn't make proper eye contact with me so it was obvious" she stated.

"I agree chief, also we had had the testimony of Victim by then so that had to be the housekeeper " Jimin agreed, he had liked the straightforward attitude of the new comer .

"Whatever it is, you're just so cool Amber" Tae exclaimed as he lifted his hand before gulping another glass of soju.

"You should not over drink Tae, you're tipsy already" Namjoon scolded.

"Yup I'm done" Tae said with his boxy smile as he placed the glass back on the table and laid his head on Namjoon's shoulder.

Rest of the night went just like that, with Taehyung cracking some non sense jokes and Namjoon guffawing over them. Jimin and Amber smiled on a few but they were still as sober as always and also they weren't the type who expressed much of what they felt.

When it was nearly midnight all of them decided to leave. Namjoon offered them a ride but Jimin refused, he preferred walking home alone. Namjoon dropped Amber off and asked his driver to turn towards Tae's home. When they were near Tae's home he suddenly asked Namjoon to drop him off early. Namjoon insisted him to stay as his home was still like a hundred metres away but Tae denied. He got out of the car and waved goodnight to his chief and turned towards his home. He was all sober by now as he had just noticed the silhouette of, whom he thought, someone he'd known yet hated, at the end of the street.

On the other hand a blonde haired officer was on his way back to home. He was walking on the hushed streets with only the sound of his boots tapping on the road. It was all dark and silent, just like his life. He continued walking under the fervent ambience glimmered by moonlight which fell short to enlighten his world. He was lost in his old thoughts, the one that kept him up, ate him down and left him hollow as the familiar old guilt washed his soul.

"Today we solved yet another case..." he whispered to himself "Yet I foiled on yours " he continued. His heart was deeply crushed by his own hands that it felt meaningless to beat and his eyes had forgotten long ago, how to weep. But he was not someone to give up. He had to find out, though he had met wiy greatest fiascos still there was no way he was going to give up. Not in this life at least.

He reached his house after the tiring day and entered a dull room, dimly lit by night lamp. He switched on the light of his study table and rested on the chair as he gripped a pen glancing at the wall which had a bunch of photos, maps and clues pinned on it. He took out his diary and noted down any clue that he knew about the incident, about the murder which took place 5 years ago. He tore the page and crumbled it as his breath hitched and heart raced recalling the old memories. He threw away the paper and pulled his hairs in frustration. It had been 5 years and he was still so clueless about everything and he hated it. He took out his laptop and researched as much as he could digging into all the trivial details of that old demise, until he fell asleep on the study table.
