"No clue from there too huh?" Chan asked, offering a cup of coffee to Changbin who just ended another call he had with a victim's family, hoping to obtain some new information but to no avail. "No Chan. Some didn't know that they were followed, some did have mentioned but that was all and the others didn't even keep diaries. This is taking us no where" Changbin sighed, as he took a sip of the coffee.

"What about the Hanbin guy?" Jisung asked, approaching the other two.

"I read his diary. He had written the same. There was nothing in his room too right?" Chan askes, even though he knew the answer was going to be a 'yes'.

"We have to work fast. There are only 7 days" Changbin joined.

"How the fuck can we work fast without anything?! We don't even know how that freaking killer looks like!" Chan snapped.

"Calm down Chan! There's no point of screaming" Jisung too lost his patience. Before Chan coukd say anything a loud cough came through his throat obstructing his words. Though he expected it to go away, the coughing only worsened.

"Chan?" Changbin asked, as he handed a tissue to him. Trying to catch his breath, Chan leaned onto the table covering his mouth with the tissue. After grabbing Chan's inhaler from the table, Jisung quickly handed it to Chan as he took it and put it in between his lips, easing down his breaths.

"Do you have asthma?" Jisung asked, rubbing Chan's back gently. Chan shook his head as he threw the red tissue in his hand to the garbage bin near by.

"Then what?" Changbin also asked, as he too was worried about Chan's health.

"I don't know. It's been hard to breath and I had coughing since a while. So I bought an inhaler"

"Why don't you see a doctor?" Jisung asked.

"Do you think I have time to meet a doctor while there are innocent people dying?"

Changbin sighed. "Don't make me repeat this Chan. We're in this together. You need to take care of yourself"

"I know, I know Bin"

A notification sound stopped their conver sation as Jisung reached for his phone. After checking the notification, he frowned his eyebrows turning his head towards the other two. "Um... Can I take a break tonight? I have an emergency"

"We don't have any work today right?" Chan asked to which Changbin nodded. "Yeah, you can go. But make sure you'll be here by morning"

"Thanks. I'll get going then" Jisung said, rushing out of the office, grabbing his coat.

"And..... You're lost! Twice!" Hyunjin exclaimed as he took a sip of his drink.

"It's not fair!" Felix pouted, dropping the controller on the couch.

"Wanna play another round?"

"Nah, I'm sick of losing" Felix sighed, grabbing a pillow and hugging it tightly.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Noticing the younger's sudden mood change, Hyunjin asked.

"Nothing"

"I can clearly see something's bothering you. Tell me"

"It's just.... I'm afraid hyun. The killer's after Seungmin. He said that he's being followed. Chan still couldn't catch him. We don't know when he'd.... kill Seungmin. I don't want to lose him. He's my friend"

"It might not be the killer too, right? We don't know for sure. Nothing will happen"

"What if it was?"

"Don't worry Lix. He'll be okay. He knows how to take care of himself"

Hyunjin flinched by the sudden contact he felt as Felix wrapped his arms around him, embracing Hyunjin into a hug. Sniffles and sobs were heard except for the surrounding silence. Hyunjin awkwardly rubbed Felix's back until he slowly calmed down. "Do you want me to stay here?"

"No, it's okay. I'm fine" Felix replied as he pulled away from the hug. "I'm sorry"

"N-no,no. It's fine. I'll... Get going then" Hyunjin said, grabbing his backpack amd heading over to the door.

"Be safe"

"Yeah, you too"
