I am really going to kill him.

That's the only thought that went through Jae's mind as he saw that the men got acquitted. His jaw set and his hands clenched to fists as he saw how the men stood up, thanked the judge and then left the courtroom. He looked a little anxious to Jae but quickly walked away. Jae just sat there, in his black suit and angry mood.

'Sir, you can leave the room now.', the judge told Jae as he stood up as well. Jae stood up, bowed his head slightly to the judge politely and then walked out of the room. Everyone else stood up as well, turning to leave the room.

Within seconds, Jae was wearing his coat again and was standing outside. He looked around, but sadly enough, he couldn't see the man anymore. He must have run away because he knew Jae would be coming for him. He sighed. Out of his pocket, he fished a cigarette and a lighter and light the cigarette in his hand. He inhaled and then blew out a cloud of smoke.

'Hyung, are you okay?', Jae turned his head to see his colleague and a good friend of his. Quinn came walking to him. His hands were in his pockets so you couldn't see his tattoos. His slightly long black hair fell messily on his head. He looked very intimidating with his height and muscles which you clearly could see through his clothes, but he was just a very nice and soft person - always checking up on Jae when he felt down. Jae scoffed and rolled his eyes, bringing the cigarette back to his lips.

'How do you think I feel?', Jae asked before clamping the cigarette between his lips again.

'I don't know.', Quinn said. 'That's why I'm asking you.' Jae rolled his eyes as he looked at the road. A few cars were speeding down the street, but they stopped as a girl crossed the road. Jae looked at the girl.

'I feel awful.', Jae mumbled. 'He should be in jail.'

Jae...'

'He should be!', Jae shouted, turning toward his younger friend. 'He killed her! He killed my daughter! H-he killed... he killed my baby...' Jae threw his cigarette on the ground and covered his eyes with his hands, turning away from Quinn. 'I'm sorry...',

'Don't worry.', Quinn said, placing a hand on his shoulder. 'I understand.' Jae smiled weakly and removed his hand from his eyes, wiping a tear away. 'Are you coming back to the station soon? It's getting boring without you.' Jae snorted.

'And solving murders isn't fun enough for you?', Jae asked with a raised eyebrow.

'Not if you aren't there.', Quinn smiled. Jae rolled his eyes but smiled anyway.

'Is...- ehm... Is Mavi still there?', Jae asked hesitantly. He really didn't want to be a jealous ass, but he couldn't help it really. Quinn opened his mouth to answer, but he didn't know how to put it in a fine way.

'She is there, but she's working on a case, so she won't bother you.', Quinn finally said. Jae nodded.

'I've seen her enough for the next couple of weeks...', Jae mumbled. Quinn nodded and patted his shoulder.

'Good luck, mate.',

Jae smiled at Quinn but then took off. He walked down the street until he reached his car. He stepped in and started the engine while putting on his seatbelt. After that he left, making his way to the city hall.

As he arrived, his stomach turned. Outside of the building stood two woman hand in hand. One of the woman looked a little uncertain, while the other looked very confident standing there. Jae stepped out of his car and walked toward the two.

'Oh, Jae...', the uncertain looking woman noticed Jae as first. 'You're here...'

'I'm on time, Rose.', he said bluntly. The other woman eyed him warningly, making Jae roll his eyes. 'Let's go in, I want to go home.'
