"i think it's time for you to know, look we're sorry if we're being kind of distant towards you– it's just we suffered from a friend loss. she was really important here in the school and to us, especially chenle, renjun and jaemin. other than that, minyoung left and yeah many other things happened." jeno then eyed renjun. renjun just scoffed, "don't look at me like that."

"we didn't know how the heck she died but she was found at the rooftop, not breathing at all. we did everything, try and find some things that could lead us to how she died but we couldn't track anything." jisung sighed.

"we want you to help us and bring back chenle to the old chenle he was, and also help us know what happened to our friend." heeyeon said.

"i will." i nodded.

"it's getting quite late." nayoung suddenly blurted out, pointing at the clock. "actually i thought of staying here for awhile." i mumbled which made her gasp. "why?" she asked me.

i shrugged, "if i'm going to help you, it won't me that easy then, i still have to gather information about this case and how the window fell." i told her.

"do you perhaps need some help? if you do, you can always call us. the headquarters is kinda like our second home now. as of now, we're writing about some mysterious facts about the school. i think jeno is working on it right now?" nayoung said.

"i might need some coffee though." i sheepishly told her.

"coffee? no problem." haechan pointed at the meeting room. "we have loads of snacks there also some drinks." jisung winked at me.

"nayoung! i need help here!" we heard a shout coming from one of the office rooms. judging by the persons voice, i could easily tell it was either jeno or jaemin but the writing office seems to be closed so it might be jaemin.

"you should probably start working before it gets really late." renjun told me.

i nodded walking toward my room. to be honest, with the help of mark and the two girls, they really helped me with moving some of my equipment to the headquarters and i'm thankful that they were kind enough to help me.

when talking about the rest, i think haechan, jisung and jeno are quite nice to me and isn't like jaemin and renjun who are quite rude yet they help me. yerin, on the other hand, they seem to have some sort of weird atmosphere when renjun and jaemin interrupted her from her begging state.

i put on my glasses as i started to work on this case. "hmm, i should probably start printing a blueprint of the school though." i mumbled as i did some stuff and tried to find the original blueprint of the school which showed the model of the school and such. i placed that on one of my computers, saving it on my tracking location so that i could easily locate things inside the school grounds.

"geez, we have a catacomb?" my eyes widened seeing that. "okay, creepy." i mumbled. the catacombs were beneath the original building of the school which was the main building. lucky for us, we held classes at the new buildings of the school as club rooms were in a separate building. talking about the dorms, they were quite far but they were close to the cafeteria building.

we also had a library which seemed to have something underneath and above as well.

i could also easily track someone with the use of my tracker. i then stood up after transferring some files onto my usb. i walked out the room and stepped in the editing room. i saw jaemin, jisung and nayoung alongside mark and jeno huddling by one of the tables.

"uh, can i ask a question?" i mumbled, interrupting something probably.

"go on." mark said, noticing my presence.

"does some of the machines there work?" i pointed towards my new office. mark grinned and shrugged, "to be honest, we don't know but you could at least try. i know they work though but it's too complicated for us to understand." he chuckled. i nodded before dashing back to my office. i easily plugged in all the machines as i gaped and watched them open one by one.

i grinned as i saw a set of computer screens on the wall. i then ran towards my computer, suddenly thinking of something cool. i plugged all the machines onto my main computer so that i could access them easily. i easily hacked into the schools security system and connected the school's surveillance cameras onto the set of computer screens.

i squealed, "this is a dream come true!"

i waited patiently for my prints to finish before pasting those pictures on a plain wall that had a massive glass board that had some markers on the side. "oh shit i can draw on it!" i gasped when it suddenly lit up as it showed some information about the school and such. it scanned my pictures as it placed a digital replica of it on the board. "well, i guess i won't be needing the prints for now." i mumbled, placing the prints in a folder and plopping it somewhere.

"so much technology!" i said as i sat on my chair.

"looks like you're having fun hm?" my attention turned towards the door as i suddenly heard someone else talking. "oh, haechan?" i tilted my head to see him he nodded his head as a cute grin crept up his face.

"this is so cool, weijung! never thought technology could do this!" haechan exclaimed as he roamed around the place.

"i know right." i chuckled before focusing back on my work.

"you look so serious, it's cute." haechan randomly blurted out which made me look at him in shock. he then realized what he said and slapped a hand over his mouth, "oh shit... well, it's true though." haechan chuckled before looking over my shoulder to check what i was doing.

"that's complicated." haechan mumbled.

i chuckled before smiling, "well, it's what i do." i shrugged.

"you should smile a lot more okay? you're family now." haechan winked before dashing out my office.

hours passed and i've been drinking my sixth can of iced coffee, it's only thing that kept me awake. i checked the time, 1:36AM. "woah, i've been working since 7PM." i muttered.

i've gather some information that could totally help with the case. but, i would also need to visit some sites in the school that had to do with the death of their friend.

two knocks were heard as the door opened, "it's 1:30 AM already, weijung. you need rest." renjun uttered as he saw how droopy my eyes were but it didn't bother me to be honest.

"i'm fine." i mumbled and continued typing.

"no. it's not. just continue that tomorrow– you can visit the headquarters anytime." he told me but i ignored him and continued to work. he sighed and walked towards my set up. he grabbed my hand and was about to pull me out the room when he noticed the set of cans around. "you drank all that!?" he shrieked as he pointed at the cans. i sheepishly smiled and nodded.

"geez, you haven't even ate dinner yet. come to class early alright? i'll buy you breakfast." he stated before pulling me out the room.

"geez, you're still here?" haechan loomed at as he packed his stuff. jaemin handed me my stuff as well before retreating it, "isn't this a bit heavy?" jaemin squinted his eyes at me.

"the two girls already left two hours ago, along with mark and jisung." jeno stated, closing the door of the writing room.

"we're also heading home." jeno told me, putting on his bag as renjun puts on his.

"we'll send you off home." haechan said.

"here, it's a bit cold." jaemin handed me his coat. "let's go." renjun uttered and walked out.

jeno was the last one to get out, he locked the headquarters, setting the security before following us.

we stopped at the girls dormitory. yes we have separate dorms. stupid but understanding. "i'll be fine here." i muttered as i tried to get my backpack from jaemin but he refused. "this is too heavy." he retorted.

"i'll be fine." i deadpanned.

"you guys go ahead back at the dorm, mark is probably waiting there. i'll send weijung to her dorm." jaemin said. the others nodded as jenk waved me bye. "bye weijung!" haechan winked before walking off with the others.

jaemin gestured me to go first so i did. we stopped in front of my room. "get a lot of rest okay? you can join us during breakfast tomorrow– well if you want." jaemin said. i nodded, "thanks by the way."

"no problem." he mumbled before walking away.
