Author's POV

As the morning started to stale away, the cool afternoon breeze blew against the tall building of the medical forensics lab. Namjoon stood at the ground floor of the lab as he waited for the others to get there. While waiting for them, he looked around him. Every single thing was just as he has seen them for the past years. The same position of the table in the waiting area, the seven vintage paintings on the walls as if it were an art museum and even the large screen that showed the indication of the autopsies going on.

He has been here so many times that he can't even remember his first day properly. The only thing he remembers from his first day was how he walked into an autopsy that was in progress and the main medical examiner looked back at him with a huge saw in his hand. Despite Namjoon being a brave officer, the overall look of the medical examiner and the saw in his hand made Namjoon's life flash in front of his eyes.

Jogging in his memory lane, the team arrived with Y/N at the back scribbling through her notepad, trying to puzzle everything again from square one. Namjoon came back to his senses seeing four pairs of beady eyes looking at him while Y/N's head was still stuck in her notepad.

"Well, now that you all are here, let's go." Namjoon started walking towards the large glass doors as he scanned his ID which granted him access as the doors slid open.

The corridor was long and cold and the walls were shiny grey as if they were made of steel. Walking down the never-ending corridor, Y/N looked up from her notepad and around her, huge doors on the walls with windows on them stood strong and proud. Each window had a steel table in the middle with dull lights streaming down like the autopsy scenes you see on tv.

Finally reaching the end of the corridor, Namjoon swiped his ID again and this time, the scene was different to the corridor. It was a large room with high tech equipment placed in every corner as if it were the lab of a mad scientist. At the right side of the room, a tall man in a white lab coat, stood in front of the table, scrolling through a slim tablet in his hand.

"Jin." Namjoon called out as the man looked up to him. 

He smiled at Namjoon and waved at the others. "Come on in guys!." His eyes fell upon Y/N who was looking at him like she had seen a shining diamond. "You're Y/N right?"

Y/N snapped out of her daydreams as she looked at Jin. "Yeah, how do you know my name?"

Jin let out a small chuckle as he started. "Who doesn't know you. You're lady impossible." Y/N looked at him in confusion. "I mean, you are top of the talk for being the first female officer of the Crime Investigation Department after quite some time. Welcome to the team. I'm Kim Seokjin, but you can call me Jin." Jin stuck out his hand which Y/N took and shook gently.

"Hey Saw-Doc!" Woozi exclaimed as he cheerfully fist pumped him.

"Saw-Doc?" Y/N turned her head to Woozi.

"Yeah, we call him Saw-Doc because Jin was doing an autopsy and had a saw in his hand when Namjoon walked in and met him for the first time. That was the time when we saw him almost shit his pants." Everyone snickered as he stole gazes at their leader.

Namjoon interrupted their fun as he spoke up. "Alright, enough. Jin, you called me saying that you had something you wanted to talk about. Did you find anything on Koo Sunghe?"

Jin nodded his head as he shifted his gaze to the tablet in his hand.

"This is the autopsy report of Koo Sunghe. Tell me what you see." Namjoon took the tablet from his hand and scrolled through it and passed it around to the others to take a look at.

"It shows that the woman had spray marks on her neck and wrists suggesting that she may have sprayed something on herself." Hyungsik said as he passed the tablet to Taecyeon.

Cause of death: Poisoning from toxic particles sprayed on neck and wrists.

"Let's take a look at her body closely." Jin said as he led the members to a large wall with steel boxes on them. He pulled one of the boxes and out came a tray with the stored body of Koo Sunghe. The flakes stood crusty on her chapped lips and the dark circles under her eyes were darker. The blood that gave colour to her face had stopped flowing as her face had gone way paler than how the unit saw her before. The only colour left on her body was the faint red marks on her neck and wrists.

Namjoon put on a pair of gloves as he turned the body's wrist, examining the spread and angle of the mark. "She definitely sprayed it on by herself. Now the real question is, 'Is the death of Koo Sunghe a suicide or a murder?'"

"Jin, do you still have her belongings here?" Y/N asked as Namjoon's attention turned to the girl.

"Yeah I do. Let me get it for you." Jin turned around and walked up to a separate cabinet that had multiple trays on them. He glided his finger down as if scanning for something and pulled out a grey tray with the label 'Koo Sunghe' on it. "There you are. This is all I have of her."

Y/N took the tray from him and walked to the table. Shuffling her gloved hands through the belongings of the deceased, she started looking for clues. She found Sunghe's clothes that she wore when she died, her handbag and her staff ID card. Y/N picked up the card and looked at the photo on it.

"She had sparkling eyes." Y/N let out a sigh before going back to searching the handbag. Bits of candy wrappers and scribbled papers were found in the bag. Skimming her hand through the bag, Y/N reached to the bottom as a heavy glass sphere was felt. She immediately took the sphere out and into her hand as she looked up at the guys.

"A perfume bottle?" Woozi said in doubt.

The sphere was a glass perfume bottle with light pink contents. The bottle had no brand or labels on them. Strange for a perfume.

Namjoon walked up to the table as the rest followed behind.

"Spray-like marks on her neck and wrists..." Namjoon wandered off puzzling the pieces. "A perfume bottle with no name and brand on it... That only happens when someone doesn't want something to be found."

He held the perfume bottle by the neck as Inyeop opened an evidence bag open. "Take it to toxicology." He said to Inyeop as the detective nodded his head, sealing the bag and walking out of the door. "Toxicology won't be done until tomorrow."

"So what do I do till then?" Y/N asked as Namjoon turned his head to her and then back again.

"Just do anything other than getting on my nerves." Namjoon huffed as he walked out of the room.

"What is that dude's problem?" She turned to the guys.

"Well, Y/N" Taecyon spoke up, "that's for him to tell you if he wants, well if he's ever going to tell you.

All I can say is that something happened and it ended quite ugly for him..."
