6:35 am
The digits read, rolling over the side Renjun groaned about the thought of waking up, yet again. It was another damn day and to be honest he wished nothing more than to laze in his bed all day.
The warmth of sheets leaving as he now, faced the cold air of the room.
Shivering instantly at the dropping weather of his room he gritted his teeth. The harsh coldness made him wonder why did she adore the winter season to the point he could practically imagine her smiling wrapped in his blankets, her thoughts stirring up the second he opened his eyes, yet again.
With a sigh, he turned the TV on. Switching to the news channel making his morning coffee.
"Choi Tae-Joon, owner of one of the biggest foreign exchanges in Seoul was found dead this morning, police have yet to give a statement this was park yoora from Seoul 247 stay safe"
The headlines of the morning made him Curse in his mother tongue. He quickly alerted all of the investigators as it was obvious who this case was going to once again.
He hated it today for some reason, a bad feeling settling in his stomach, a feeling that something unusually bad was going to take place.

Renjun hurriedly reported at the crime scene which happened to be a 13-floored building. Seeing a familiar face he felt somewhat relieved to have started the investigation as soon as possible.
"ms park you're early"
he approached the girl who was rather surprised to see him this early at the crime scene. She had taken him as a person who arrived later, nonetheless, she was impressed to see their HOD working hard.
"Just reached, Mr. Huang"
The two silently walked inside the elevator as the murder had taken place on the 5th floor which was supposed to be the office of the victim.
stepping inside a weird aura filled the area Renjun felt as if something was wrong, everything going smoothly which was a red flag.
Normally, he would face at least one obstacle before reporting to a crime scene whether it be his car in an accident or him losing something.
as if his prayers were heard the elevator stopped with a thud making him chuckle.
He had excepted it or rather he was happy at the fact an obstacle occurred making sure that his gut feeling was nothing but true. Seohyun was obviously pissed at the fact they were held back.
Pressing the buttons nothing seemed to work
she let out an irritated sigh.
"looks like we're stuck"
her remark made the older male let out a small chuckle resonating with the area.
"oh..no shit sherlock"
he threw a sarcastic reply with an expressionless face. His deep brown eyes glared down at her.
Intimidating...
"This is quite a cliche if I may add miss seohyun are you perhaps claustrophobic?"
He asked making her roll eyes at him. She knew what he was referring to. Those movie scenes where the main leads are trapped inside the lift and one of them has a panic attack. well, this wasn't the case for these two for Seohyun let a scoff, rolling her eyes at him.
"No Mr. Huang, I am not claustrophobic" she mocked his tone making him nod
"Good"
With a shake, the elevator started working again making seohyun almost trip, but she held on to the metal railing to support her.
Renjun being cautious took out his gun which was previously securely tucked behind his jacket. upon seeing the weapon seohyun gave the male a judgemental look. She was unsure if he was supposed to have a gun or not. so she let her curiosity become the best of her.
"Are you authorized to have that?"
The girl raised her brows eyeing the armed weapon held by his hands, which by the way were attractive as hell. She judged him for a while before he answered her with a glare.
"No love, I made a deal with an arms dealer and they gave me this gun as a gift"
seohyun remained silent knowing he was sarcastic which infuriated her beyond words. He could have easily replied with a simple yes but Instead, he choose the harder way to waste his energy by saying stupid things.
"of course, I'm authorized to have this, you keep forgetting who I am, love"
He was the Crime department's head of course they were going to give him a gun to protect himself from the dangers he had been facing the day he joined the force.
"Whatever"
she mumbled under her breath ignoring him.
Just as they were about to reach the 4th floor the elevator stopped taking precautions he stood Infront of the unarmed girl.
"stay behind me"
The door opened with a mechanical noise the only thing which could be heard. There was pin-drop silence the place looked deserted.
"Something's wrong...the murder took place on the 5th floor like half an hour ago the police should have cleared the secured area already"
seohyun had reached here beforehand to analyze the situation so she could be of help to the department. Upon hearing her voice renjun's eyes widened, his senses alerting him beforehand
"If you get shot I'm not taking responsibility" Renjun warned pushing her into the metal corner of the elevator hovering above her
"what do you-
Her words were left incomplete as a deafening gunshot was heard making her flinch harshly. The bullet had missed her by an inch, a centimeter more to her left and she would be losing blood and in her place, the male took the bullet graze like a damn hero.
