"you're gonna be okay, right?" renjun questioned me as we walked out of my workplace. i chuckled dryly and shrugged it off, "guess so."

suddenly, donghyuck butted in and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. "of course she'll be okay! she's with us! as long as we're together, everything will be okay." donghyuck told renjun off.

the chinese boy gave donghyuck a stare before walking off past them. "let's just go." he utters lowly and we finally walked into the main lab.

jaemin was still there, busy with some papers in hand.

i then diverted my gaze from jaemin and glanced at the boy who sat quietly in his own workspace. he was sketching some photos and typing some stuff in his laptop. chenle looks so focused right now, it's been awhile since i last saw him focus so much on his work. i let out a small sigh and looked away.

"oh, what took you guys so long?" jaemin questions as he looked up at us.

"we had to solve some... stuff." i muttered bitterly as i felt my stomach churn at the uncomfortable feeling.

something's definitely not right.

but then again, nothing was ever right in the first place.

"i'm actually gonna stay back and watch over chenle do his paperwork while doing mine." jaemin told us, "so if you guys plan on going to the field, then go ahead. i believe the others need some help patrolling down there."

renjun nodded at jaemin, "yeah, we're actually gonna head over there now. we'll see you later!" he waves before opening the door and walking off.

donghyuck and i also bid our goodbye's to them before leaving the club room.

"finally!" donghyuck breathed out, "it felt so suffocating in there."

"it was awkward." i mumbled as we walked out of the building and headed towards the open field.

renjun sighed, tucking his hands into his pockets, "i don't even think i could face chenle properly anymore."

"same here." i agreed and looked at my hands before curling my fingers into a fist. "once i lay my hands on killer..." i mumbled and raised my head up high, "...it's gonna be the end."

i felt a hand pat my head and i instantly shot donghyuck a look. he shook his head, "don't worry, killer's gonna get chneeled."

with a bitter smile, "definitely."

"okay that's great, but can we please use actual words?" renjun interrupts.

donghyuck sent a glare towards renjun's direction, "chneel's an actual word!"

"it's my word." donghyuck sassed and squinted his eyes at renjun.

"sure it is." renjun mocked.

as we got closer to our club's booth, we heard loud bickering noises and a smile crept up my face. everyone's here, i mean, except for jaemin and chenle who's busy with paperwork in the club room.

"finally! the juyuju trio!" jeno exclaims and points at us.

i furrowed my brows, what did he just call us?

"juyuju?" renjun murmurs and tilts his head in confusion.

"it's what we're gonna call you three now, suggested by jeno, that is." nayoung explains and i nodded in realization.

juyuju, sounds cute.

"jeez, you're going to let me get stuck with these two?" renjun joked, "it would've been better without hyuck."

donghyuck gasps dramatically as he left my side and held onto renjun's shoulders, "you want me gone!?" he fake cried.

i could only snicker at their behavior as i sat next to jeno. the boy was still gathering more information about astronomy club like what i told him. i've never really been that talkative with jeno, but i guess this would improve our relationship.

"got anything for me?" i asked him as i eyed the brown folder he had in his grasp.

jeno smirks at me, "this is what you've been waiting for." he hands me the folder and i slowly opened it.

my mouth went agape as i read the information the folder held. "so you mean... there are more old files about astronomy club, but it's somewhere else?" i say lowly, afraid that someone would hear us.

jeno nodded, "well, that is, according to my research."

"the key that we found, that's a key to one out of two places that we can find some info about astronomy club." jeno explains, "if i'm correct, the old members of dream team were very close to solving who killer actually is, but since killer wasn't this active before, it was hard to pinpoint anyone."

"where'd you get these then?" i raised a brow and pointed to the other additional information on the bottom.

i squinted my eyes, "what are even these."

"they, or more like, he is one of the persons you can grab information about eunji's supposedly fake death. don't worry, he won't do anything bad. he just... despises director kim."

"why so?"

"rumors said that director kim was the reason why his mother got killed. director kim wasn't able to solve the mission."

"so far, you gave me two names." i nodded, "good job."

jeno grinned, "well, it's the least i could do!"

"do you have anything else?"

jeno hummed, "i suggest that you should also talk to former members, and the director himself."

i smiled and gave him a small nod, "noted! i'm gonna go then."

jeno pursed his lips, "be careful. please."

"of course i will! don't worry." i winked at him before going out the booth, carrying the folder with me.

"hey, uh, mark?" i poked his shoulder to grab his attention.

"yeah?" he turns to me.

"can i look around? i need to find someone."

he knits his brows in confusion, "someone?"

"exactly." i chuckled and raised the brown folder.

"as long as you agree that i'll come with you."

i flashed him a smile, "i've got no problem with that."

he nods and i lead the way. we looked around for the specific person i needed to confront. maybe he has something to tell me.

"who are we looking for again?"

"park woojin."

"you mean... him?" i turned to follow mark's direction and saw an emo looking boy not far from where we stood.

he was alone by one of the benches, reading a book perhaps.

"yup, that's my person." i whispered and walked close to him.

i sat next to him, yet not daring to look and talk to him. he seemed to have noticed my presence and talked, "what do you want?"

"can we talk?"

i heard him snort, "about what?"

i flashed the brown folder in front of me.

"this better be worth it." he grumbled and stood up. "follow me."

i slowly followed him and we ended up at the library. "is he really supposed to be here?" woojin spat and jabbed his thumb at mark.

mark gave him a sour expression but chose to stay silent.

"we'll be quick."

"fine." woojin murmured as we entered the private room.

he sighed once he sat down, "again, what do you want?"

"do you have something to tell me?"

he furrows his brows, "is this about nam's death?"

i nodded my head as i watch him chuckle dryly, a smirk creeping up his face.

"i didn't kill junghee."

"i never said you did." i retorted.

he scoffed, "okay. i found her dead at the rooftop."

"what were you even doing at the rooftop? that dorm building is closed down."

woojin sneered, "it's not. or at least for me it's not."

"have you seen killer before?"

woojin had this amused expression plastered on his face, "how can you be so sure?"

"i'm not." i chuckled, "that's why i'm asking."

"i guess so?" he shrugs.

"killer can't target me anyways."

"and why is that?" mark suddenly questioned.

"because i somehow helped her with this little plan of hers."

my eyes widened in shock.

he suddenly shook his head, "don't get me wrong. i didn't know anything. i somehow completed her plan since i was the one who reported that nam was dead." he said truthfully, "it was indirect and unintentionally."

"you'd help us, right?"

"do you even trust me?" woojin scoffed.

i pursed my lips, "not really, but i could learn to trust you. as long as you don't do anything that would break that trust."

woojin thought about it, "what help would i be?"

"you said you've met killer before—"

"i caught a glimpse of her. i'm not sure. i just know she has a bracelet. everyone says she does."

i grinned at the information. the metal wristlet.

"you look scary." woojin pointed out.

"and for starters, you can trust me. kill me if i ever become a traitor."

i bit my lip. traitor. what a scary word. woojin seemed to have noticed my change if expression and suddenly spoke,

"i'll help you, as long as you do something for me."

i lifted a brow, "what?"

"date me." he bursted into fits of laughter while i screeched.

"you're insane!" mark yelled.

"i'm just kidding." he chuckled, "but yeah, do me a favor."

"what?" i grumbled.

"finish killer. for my mom, junghee, and every other victim."

"deal."

. . .

"where are you going now?" mark asked me as the three of us exited the library.

"i've got another person to talk to."

i separated from them after a long talk with mark that i'll be perfectly fine without him. he eventually lost to me and here i am in front of director kim's office. i took a deep breath before knocking hardly on the wooden door.

the door opens and director kim greets me warmly before letting me come in.

i took a seat as he faced me, "xing weijung..."

"what brings you here?"

"do you happen to have connections with your old members?" i blurted out like it was nothing.

he flinched at my question and shot his head up, "why is that?"

"i was just wondering if i could talk to a man named min yoongi?"

"ah! min yoongi? he's not really in town, but you can talk to his son." he suggested.

son? was that the other 'min' jeno typed down?

"i'm sorry. son?" i croaked out.

director kim nodded, "he has a son that visits hanyul academy from time to time, kind of like the members of neo tech culture."

"he'll be visiting tomorrow. stop by my office in the morning, i'll tell him you have something to talk about."

i smiled, "that sounds perfect." i agreed, "thank you."

director kim returned the smile, "anything for you."

i was about to close the door when he called. "i knew i was right about choosing you."

my body stiffened and i craned my head towards him, "what do you mean?"

"i was the reason for your exchange. i heard how famous you were back at sangkyun university. i would always hear how great of a hacker you were, and they were right."

i smirked, "i'm just helping."

director kim closed his eyes, "you were the best help i could ever get."
