Chapter 2: Suspicious Man
Waking up Y/n did her morning routine, the sunlight glowed casting a warm yellow color through the glasses of her apartment. She stared at her mirror unbeknownst to the arrival of the chaos.
Fixing her long coat and the turtle neck white top inside the coat provided her a sense of warmth in the cold weather.
Walking to the university she better into the main hall and diverts her way to the library ignoring the gazes pouring over her. She bowed to the library head lady and scanned her ID for attendance.
"Good morning Ma'am!"
The head of the library, Kang Mina smiled at her and replied.
"Good morning Y/n"
Y/n took her turn to the huge bookshelves. Her eyes searched the books. She picked the book she had been longing for recently.
'Murder of the midnight: The jurisdiction of the murders'
Time passed by as she flipped the pages again and again. Her brand ran indicating the time for the canteen. She rushed to the canteen before it got crowded, a hand slightly touched that made her skin directly send strange shivering. She turned to here and there but the push of the students was too much to handle as she got pushed forward to the glass counter of the canteen.
Ignoring the unknown feeling she smiled at the canteen lady and ordered nongshim crackers, Buldak Tteokbokki Korean Rice Cakes. Taking it she went to the university turf and sat by a corner side bunch ignoring the chaos going on with boys' and girls' immature behaviors.
She unwrapped the plastic can, taking her chopsticks she dipped it in the can swirling it to mix the content.
"Here!"
A veiny pale white hand which has small fingers extended a strawberry juice near her, which made her jump from the sitting position.
"Sorry did I startle you!"
The same guy. The famous attorney.
"Why are you here?"
"Can't I come here?"
Her eyes lit up in confusion.
'Is he messing up with me'
"No don't think too much I am not stalking you or anything, I joined here as a university legal advisor for the research department yesterday."
Jimin said standing.
"Ughh fine sit!"
Jimin smiled and took her rice cake. Without her consent, he took a bite.
"Yahh that was mine I brought it."
Jimin laughed as she snatched it from his hand.
Upon seeing her anger he laughed.
"Woah Miss SeoHa why don't you just just get a little friendly with me."
Jimin sighed.
"Have you looked upon the case agreement?"
Y/n's eyes wide open hearing that. She nodded as an answer to him.
"I agreed but on one condition, the case would reopen but no one by the law is dare to step into my house to question me again. All the statements as a witness I have given at the time of the incident."
Jimin nods.
"I understand you Miss Y/n, no one will disturb you in time of investigation I assure you that."
The bell rang indicating that the break was over. Jimin left leaving her alone with passing students.
"Damn I didn't eat it fully."
Checking her watch she ran to the class dropping the left food canto the waste bin.
"So class time for debates!"
Y/n sighed. She listened to the students debating a lot with each other. Her chance is passed as she did well only the scores ie get to be out.
Passed by it reached the end of the university time. She walked down to the stairways and stumbled upon the legal advisor law firm of the university. Her hero seised as she saw Jimin's back. He was talking to someone on the phone. Finally, he put the phone back in his pocket and locked the door. When he turned after locking the door he saw her gazing at him.
"Is there anything Miss Y/n?"
He asked ready to leave holding his car keys.
Her eyes darted here and there in awkwardness.
"Oh nothing ...I just stopped here when I was going to the library, I found your office are you going home?"
Jimin's eyes widened upon hearing her.
Did she start to be friendly with me?
Jimin replied.
"Ah yes, I have to research a lot bye."
Jimin escaped from the situation leaving Y/n scratching her head back.
"Ughh! Why did I do that!"
She cursed herself and her longing for the library grew again she rushed to the library after entering the lift. There was the librarian lady Kang sleeping with earphones on. Seeing it she scanned her ID without disturbing her and went back to the table. Pulling her chair out she sat by the corner of the library to get a view of the turf of the university. Exhalling deeply she squirmed her eyebrows at the turning pages of earlier book she found in the morning.
The time elapsed without her noticing. The light of the library blinked twice alerting her from jolting down the points on her record book. Looking up to the ceiling she saw an electrician man entering the library after bowing to the librarian.
He passed him while he passed a strange smile to her. His attire was completely of an electrician. The man was so young and handsome. She continued her scanning till he went back to the library. She shrugged it off knowing there must be some shortage of electric wires that much the be the cause of lights blinking.
Ignoring the feeling she closed her book, she felt someone watching her turning to the back she saw the man was still equipped in his work on the electric box.
Ignoring the feeling of watching she packed her stuff and walked outside checking out the library.
"Bye Ma'am"
"Bye Y/n have a great night see you tomorrow."
Both were friendly enough to greet each other. She went to the lift and pressed the lift button.
The lift door opened she entered in.
Just then a male voice snapped her when the lift was about to close as she entered.
"Hey hold for me."
She saw Jimin running to the lift. She couldn't believe it.
Didn't he went home?
Jimin sighed after entering but the lift got hold by the earlier electrician man. When he entered the lift closed, to her shock she saw some bloodstains on his hand but he instantly covered it up. She quickly remembered the librarian. Her throat went dry, panic took over her. Her breathing went up normal when she remembered the incident.
Jimin noticed the uneasiness that engulfed her in shock. He couldn't stand there and watched, he quickly hugged her to make her comfortable. He thought she was having panic attacks by entering the lift.
The electrician got out of the lift when the lift door opened to the ground floor. But to Jimin's surprise, she spoke with heavy breathing and sweat-covered.
"Library...I saw blood in his hand, he...he is coming from the library."
Jimin pulled out from the hug. Jimin patted her back and said.
"Let's check it upon and confirm."
The lift went upwards again, and Jimin squeezed her hand. She stood breathing heavily, her eyes were glossy with dried tears. Her chest heaved up and down.
Jimin rushed out of the lift holding her hand. Both run to the library.
Upon opening the glass door of the library the sight made Y/n scream and crouch down to the floor while Jimin stood frozen.
Is this a clue to the killer?
