"Kai's right." Beomgyu admitted.

"I think we should divide and conquer." I said, "I'll look into some stuff to see if Dae-Jung's done this in the past, and if he has, it'll reveal a little bit about what we're up against."

"Good idea." Beomgyu said absent mindedly. 

"You guys keep looking for the letter." I said before walking out the door.


*Beomgyu's POV (First person)* 


I sighed as I set the last book back down on the shelf. 

"Nothing." 

"Same here." Kai admitted. "Why does Taehyun's job seem easier?"

I shrugged. "Probably because he'll most likely have more luck than we are having."

"Sometimes it stinks that Taehyun's smarter than us." Kai said. "It means he gets all the research jobs while we do pointless things and hope to come up with a result."

I nodded. "Yeah... maybe you should pay attention to the stuff Taehyun does, so you get smarter. Better yet, try to become him." I said teasingly. Kai rolled his eyes.

"No way!"

I smiled slightly. At least we could still joke around a little.

"I can't believe Yeonjun's this smart though!" Kai huffed. "Knowing him, he would have hidden it somewhere easy to find."

"That was odd..." I admitted. And then it was like I was having my own light bulb moment.

"Wait... Soobin was also with him... I'm sure Yeonjun would keep it in his room, but think about it, what if Soobin was the one who hid it!"

"You're right!" Kai gasped. "Where would Soobin hide it?"

"It'll probably be a little harder to find then, but..." My voice trailed off with my second light bulb moment. I walked silently to the door frame and slid my fingers along it, until I felt a crack. Kai looked from the door frame to me.

"I think..." I slowly pulled a note out of the crack. "I knew it. Classic Soobin."

"That was how he hid his spare key to your guys dorms, right?" Kai asked.

I nodded. "Damn, did everyone know he had a knack for losing his key?"

Kai shrugged. "I'm pretty sure, yeah."

I shook my head with a soft smile. "Let's read this note with Taehyun, alright?" 

"Let's go!" Kai said, opening the door and running into Taehyun's room, who was sitting at the computer and reading something.

"Any luck?" I asked as I followed Kai in. I was itching to read the letter, but I figured I should show at least some restraint. 

Taehyun shook his head. "No, but it hasn't been that long. Give me a day and I promise I'll have some information."

Kai shook his head in wonder. "Maybe I really should become like you."

"That's a story for another time." I cut in when I saw Taehyun's confused expression. "But look what we found in the door frame." I held up the note. "Soobin must have been the one to hide it."

"I didn't even think of that." Taehyun said. "Did you guys read it?"

I shook my head. "We were going to read it with you."

Taehyun nodded and got up, walking beside me and peeking over my shoulder as I opened the note that had gotten folded many times to fit in the crack with shaking hands.

But... my hope deflated as I read on.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I whispered, emotions hitting me all at once. Anger, sadness, hate, confusion, shock. "We have to find another god damn note?!?!"

Kai looked like he was losing hope as well. "Was there another one in the door frame by any chance?" He tried, but I shook my head.

"Soobin and Yeonjun are smart. They wouldn't have hidden it in the same place."

"Yeah, I guess not..." Kai sighed.

"Look, guys, I'll keep looking for info, and you guys can work on finding the second note. This isn't over yet. But first I want you guys to rest. You can pick up tomorrow." Taehyun said.

I opened my mouth to argue but Kai cut in. "Maybe he's right... we'll pick up first thing tomorrow, Beoms."

I sighed. I know a losing fight when I see one.

"Fine."

I stuffed the note in my pocket as I walked through the door, only to almost collide with Yun-Seo.

"Beomgyu! Sorry."

"It's okay..."

"You okay? Anything else bad happen?"

"Actually... I guess you can say things got a little better. We found a note that we think Yeonjun's ex left him, but we still have to find another. So, I don't know."

"Whoa, you think an ex got them?" Yun-Seo asked.

I nodded. "Yeah... 99% sure." I explained everything to him and he slowly nodded.

"I can help." Yun-Seo offered.

I shrugged. "You don't have to."

"But I want to." Yun-Seo smiled.

"Alright... we're starting first thing in the morning."
