Past your Flustered Face

I see the Walls Crumbling Down
And Gradually, Dawn is Coming

It's Connecting Endlessly
Can't cut it Off With this Dull Blade

So the Problem Keeps Repeating

Like Homework that can't be Solved

Junmyeon felt a mild headache as soon as he opened his eyes. The blinds were drawn, it was dim. He could see that its his own room with the help of some rays that shone in there. He sat up slowly rubbing his forehead. Memories from last night popped up in his mind. He was in the club waiting for Yura and then the drinks...his surroundings spinning. Did someone put something in his drink? He remembered falling down but was catched by a pair of hands just in time. He tried but couldn't remember coming back home. Who brought him home?

Yura?

From the sunlight that shone brightly behind his curtains, he could tell that it was late in the morning. His cell phone was powered off when he checked it. The battery must have died. Junmyeon glanced at the clock that was fixed on the wall in front of his bed, it was 11:25, almost noon. He got off his bed, slipping into his slippers he plugged in his phone for charging before going out of the room. Looking around the house, he hoped to find Yura but to his dismay he found no one.

She must have left already because it was late, Junmyeon thought. He felt a light burn in his stomach, remembering his hangover he went to the kitchen to have something to ease his burn.Though he didn't drink much at night but hus stomach couldn't bear it as he was a light drinker.

"Uuh?" He was surprised by the bowl of soup he saw in his kitchen when he entered. Hungover soup?
"May be Yura" sitting on the chair of his small dining table, he smiled to himself. Yura was not the type to do all this for him but he still wanted to believe this.

"I told you you can't get a lawyer until you answer the questions" the detective slammed the file on the table.
"And I won't answer any of your questions until I get my lawyer" it was Carlo who stormed at the detective. He has created a fuss for the last 3 hours in the room. He was taken to the interogation room after his treatment for the bullet wound.

"Its not gonna work like this" Isaac held his head. He was standing in the cabin that enclosed the interogation room. He could see Carlo making a fuss across the one way mirror that separated the two rooms.
"Did you manage to get something out of him?" She asked Isaac as she entered the cabin, wearing a white mask and black cap.

"Told you he will be a nuisance" Observing the frustration written all over Isaac's face, she said. She glanced over to Carlo who was now being held by the two officers by both his arms. His leg was bandaged with patches of dried blood on it.

"You should have handed them over to my team, this is not something you detectives can do. You have limits you know" she tried to tease Isaac.

"Don't look down upon us" Isaac scoffed.
"You never know one's limits" he winked at her and both chukled.
"We lost three important people working under Carlo" she was close to ask about Ron when Isaac informed her, placing the file in front of her. She glanced at the first person and as expected, it was him. Maxim Ron.
"He shouldn't have escaped" her fists tightened, her smile gone.

"I know but he was not there when we reached. We searched the whole place but looks like he already was gone" Isaac answered.
"So he knew you were going after them" she gritted her teeth.
"Who are the two others?"

"The second person's ID is hidden. We failed to find out who that was, looks like a girl from the CCTV photage, but we can't see her face." this time it was another officer who sat there in front of the computer. She turned to the next page which was all empty with a picture of a girl's back with her arms cuffed and was held by a man.

Isaac smirked.

"And looking at the photage that we retrieved I am not sure if she really belonged to the group." he continued.

"The third one is second in lead to Maxim. Carlo's most important man after Maxim." The officer added.
"Joseph Conrad" she read the name written on the file with his picture attached at the upper right corner.

"Wonder if Maxim and Joseph are together" Isaac theorized.

"I am not sure about that." she responded. "Joseph despised Ron as Carlo would give him more importance despite of the fact that Joseph was his old man. Joseph was his right hand man before Ron stepped in there."

"I will look into it some more. May be I can find a lead", nodding in agreement Isaac turned towards the door.
"Jia!" Opening the door he stopped.
"What is it?" She asked confused.
"Lets grab some coffee later" he said grinning before closing the door behind him.

Jia gave her head a slight nod, smiling a bit. Pulling her gaze away from the door towards the man across the one way mirror again, her smile perished and her eyebrows knitted as anger piled up in her. Leaning a bit on the console she placed her hands, which were now fists, on it to control her anger.
The one reason why Carlo gave more importance to Ron. The one reason why she wanted to catch Ron so badly, there was only one reason behind this. The person, she has gone through these fatal trainings, just to reach to that one person, Volos Victor. The finest of the combatants and spooks she was, she still failed to get ahold of Victor.

There were many messages and missed calls Junmyeon received when he switched on his phone. Some of them were from his manager and some from Yura. The others were from various people mostly his fans. He still couldn't figure out where do the fans always get his number everytime he changes it. This time, he decided not to change his number but keep another personal number which he won't share with anyone except his close friends and family.

Family? His heart ached at the thought.

Shaking the thought from his mind he went to Yura's messages. He opened the first voice message.
"Junmyeon, you asked me to come to the club when you yourself are nowhere to be found. How can you ditch me like this." Her shrill voice made him flinch.
What is this all about? "I thought you brought me home" he was taken aback.
