Lee Dong Wook

Pleasure to meet you, Detective Kim Taehyung. I’m Lee Dong Wook, the head inspector assigned to Case No. 2025-114B — the Daehyun High School Incident. Standing beside me is the victim’s attorney, who will represent her in the courtroom.

Kim Taehyung

……..

Lee Dong Wook

Detective Kim? *He frowned in displeasure*

Kim Taehyung

Yes *Finally, he seemed to gain clarity*

Kim Taehyung

The pleasure is mine, Inspector Lee. You’re someone many of us in the force look up to. I hope we can work closely together on this case. *He bows respectfully*

It’s the month of July, yet the atmosphere in the case room seems to drop by a few degrees. A chill runs down the back of the detective’s spine. Earlier, he couldn’t catch the words of the inspector. Fortunately, he regains his composure without embarrassing himself.

Head Inspector Lee Dong Wook is a man of culture, He doesn’t have a voice box for unnecessary chatter. Therefore, He rarely speaks and only when it’s necessary and required. It seems he was done after introducing himself.

Since, Both the detective and inspector suddenly go quiet, as though they have faded into the background. The only other individual besides them, The legal attorney assigned to the case, looks at them with visible awkwardness.

Min Yoongi

Ahem- *He clears his throat*

Min Yoongi

Let me introduce myself properly to detective Kim *He bows politely*

Min Yoongi

I’m Min Yoongi, the legal attorney assigned to the rape and murder incident at Gangnam Daehyun High. Aside from this case, I serve as a senior lawyer under the Supreme Court, and it is my duty to inform you of the details regarding the investigation.

The senior lawyer extends his hand for a formal handshake. The awkward silence from moments ago vanished. In its place, Mr. Yoongi’s dazzling smile and smooth, composed voice resounded in the air—pulling the detective out of his drifting thoughts and back to reality.

Kim Taehyung

I’ve heard a lot about you, Mr. Yoongi. Please don’t embarrass me by bowing to this junior. It’s truly an honour for me to finally meet you. *He receives the handshake with both hands, showing his respect*

Lee Dong Wook

Now that we’ve all introduced ourselves, shall we proceed to discuss the case details?

Inspector Lee brings the conversation back to the real matter at hand—the very reason they’re all present for this conference session. Both juniors respond firmly and in unison to their senior’s rhetorical question.

Min Yoongi

Let’s take a seat, Mr. Lee and Mr. Kim, As I will calmly go over the current situation, we all are here to address.

Kim Taehyung

Senior Lee, Please. *He conveys, gesturing toward the seat*

Lee Dong takes a seat with a rigid posture, exuding a commanding presence outward to others. Kim Taehyung follows behind with a gentle smile, temporarily forcing his thoughts to shut down—he has more pressing issues at present. Meanwhile, Min Yoongi hands them the trial files and proceeds to stand at the front, where the whiteboard hangs.

Min Yoongi

As you can see, the victim, Park Bo-young, was a seventeen-year-old high school student from Daehyun High. She came from a middle-class household.

Min Yoongi

Her father, a manager at a prestigious company, had accumulated enough income before retiring. He gave his family a comfortable life before passing away last year due to cardiac arrest. *He paused mid sentence, and nods at taehyung*

Kim Taehyung

What about debts? Were they involved in any kind of dispute? *he inquires in a serious tone*

Min Yoongi

As written in the documents, There are no debts amounted to his name, which rules out any involvement of debt-holders, trying to make things difficult for the victim’s family.

Min Yoongi

Through investigations, We learned that, her family never had any disputes or complaints, thus, they lived in harmony for as long as her mother remembered.

Kim Taehyung

What about the victim herself, Was she a troublemaker? *His eyes narrows*

Min Yoongi

Answering Detective Kim— The victim, Park Bo-young, was a gentle and affectionate soul, as described by her peers.

Min Yoongi

She was exceptionally brilliant in the chemistry department, ranking in the top five each semester. Her tender nature and unmistakable persona set her leagues above others. She was even declared the campus beauty, admired for her soft features and remarkable qualities.

Kim Taehyung

It seems her portfolio was amazing, considering she maintained peace with her peers and teachers—for them to regard her in such high terms. *He frowns at last, bothered how deluded it all sounds*

Kim Taehyung

However, such a genius couldn’t hide from the eyes of monsters. It’s truly a pity… an aspiring scientist, dying such a horrible death, truly a loss for the nation. *He writes something in his journal, quietly offering his condolences*

Lee Dong Wook

Mr. Kim, let’s not bring emotions into the inquiry. I hope you can maintain your decorum as the chief detective. *He reprimands—gently, yet firmly*

Kim Taehyung

My apologies, Senior Lee. *He stands and bows at a 90-degree angle*

After receiving the rebuke, Taehyung realized and apologized for his lack of professionalism. It seemed he still had a lot to learn from his seniors. Immediately, his aura shifted — seriousness took over, and determination flickered in his eyes. Resolve and confidence began to seep from his entire presence.

Lee Dong Wook

Mr. Min Yoongi, please explain the forensic report of the victim.

Min Yoongi

Right away, senior. *He nods at them and continues*

Grabbing the marker resting on the wooden tray beneath the whiteboard, he proceeds to explain the report in a simple and concise manner.

Kim Taehyung

Senior Min, May I ask something?

Min Yoongi

You are free to ask away, Detective Kim. *He turned towards Detective’s direction before speaking*

Kim Taehyung

Respectfully, Senior Min—my assistant informed me an hour ago that the school district board is pressuring the victim’s mother and the Chief Minister not to make the issue public. They’re worried about the school’s so-called ‘esteemed’ reputation.

Min Yoongi

That’s true, The board is putting pressure and we are currently unable to take legal actions due to government policies restrictions. *He sighed, disappointment flashing through his eyes*

Kim Taehyung

Government officials are power hungry animals, I wouldn’t expect them to be fighting for justice, but trying to sabotage the case and close it for their personal gains is despicable.

Kim Taehyung

I hope it won’t affect our interrogation during the case hearings. *He frowned in disgust, but tried to hide it*

Min Yoongi

It won’t, Junior Kim, I assure you. Now, let’s look at the whiteboard, Gentlemen.

Min Yoongi

According to the forensic DNA report, during the postmortem examination, approximately 12 milliliters of seminal fluid was recovered from the vaginal cavity.

Min Yoongi

The quantity strongly suggests the involvement of more than one male, further supported by DNA profiling, which identified at least three distinct contributors. *His voice shakes, after, he interprets the last few lines*

Lee Dong Wook

It’s been two days, and we still have nothing, Not even one of the perpetrator has been found yet. *His knuckles turned white, his hand fisted against his lap*

It was unsettling to witness Inspector Lee speak this much — especially when no one had asked. And yet, the real surprise lay not in his words, but in the emotion thickening the air. They should have been composed. They were trained for this. But their blood boiled. Their stomachs twisted. This kind of horror — even spoken clinically — had a way of turning guts inside out.

Min Yoongi

When the police arrived, it was already too late. Cleaned floors and cleared evidence — the victim’s body was found in the school’s dumpster, and the CCTV cameras were either hacked or broken.

Min Yoongi

The incident took place around 10:30 at night. No one was supposed to be there at that time or in that area, which begs the question of the victim’s presence there.

Before Min Yoongi could even finish, Taehyung eyes suddenly widens in realisation. And he gripped himself before saying the inevitable in hushed and slightly deep breath.

Kim Taehyung

The culprit is someone she knows closely *He completed yoongi’s sentence*

Min Yoongi

Exactly, Detective Kim. You live up to your expectations, truly. *He praises, trying to lighten the atmosphere*

But, Taehyung wasn’t listening to any of that, processing the information that was hard to digest. He inquired in a still voice, the question that was bugging him since beginning. However midway, His voice trembled, the reason unknown even to him.

Kim Taehyung

May I know… Who is the prime suspect of this crime, Attorney Min? *He questioned, trying to be composed*

Min Yoongi

The prime suspect of the Daehyun High incident is—

Min Yoongi

𝙅𝙚𝙤𝙣 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙤𝙠, A fellow high schooler and the closest friend of the victim, Park Bo-Young

Kim Taehyung

What!?!? *He stood up in disbelief*

Kim Taehyung

Jeon Jungkook?? *He asked, almost shouting in front of his superiors*

Just as Taehyung’s ears caught the name of the suspect spoken by the lawyer, He couldn’t believe his ears, Hell! He couldn’t even process the information before abruptly standing up, making the chair stumble on the floor. He shouted, leaving his calm facade in a faraway place, before realising, He crossed his limits.

Well-Well, Isn’t it surprising, It’s 𝙅𝙚𝙤𝙣 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙤𝙠
