Jodi Choi's POV

Jeon Jungkook mula sa isang sikat na bandang Bangtan Sonyeondan ay natagpuang patay sa kanilang sariling dormitoryo. Sinasabing murder ang dahilan ng pagkamat--

My focus on the news was cut off when I heard my phone ring. I turned off the television and picked up my phone.

Mr. Lim calling..

It hasn't been long since I was assigned to be on the same team as him. I can't believe he had the guts to call me, we're not even that civil yet.

I rolled my eyes before answering it, "Yes, Mr. Lim?"

"Too early to be formal, Jodi."

"Shut up. I'm trying my best to respect you."

"Oh," I heard him chuckled through the other line. "So, you still have that shitty attitude, huh?"

"Whatever. What do you want?"

"You."

I felt my blood boiling. Ayan nanaman siya. "So, you still own a shitty mouth huh?"

I heard him chuckled lightly. 'Di parin siya nagbabago. "Let me finish my statement. I want you to come here because you will be the one to investigate this uhm.." I heard some papers flipping, "Jeon Jungkook's case." I can feel him smirking from the other line. "Why? What were you thinking?"

"What? Nothing!" I sighed deep and silently cursed myself for being flustered. "Why? Ano ba ang dapat kong isipin?"

I heard a loud laugh and I swear, if only I could, I would kill him. "So much for being defensive, Jodi Choi."

"Akala mo siguro close pa rin tayo para makapagbiro ka sa akin nang ganito, 'no? I'm not being defensive. Masyado ka na atang nagiging feeler? It's called answering-your-fucking-question."

"If you say so. I thought you love the idea that I want you."

Masyadong mahangin, goodness.

"Fuck you."

"I'm sorry but I'm busy at the moment. Don't worry, I'll fuck with you when I'm free."

Aba. Tangina nito ah.

"Talk to me normally or I'll cut this phone line and your balls when I get to see you."

He laughed rather too loudly for my own liking pero noong napansin niyang 'di na ako kumikibo, he became serious. "Okay, let's get back to business. I want you to investigate about Jeon Jungkook's case. I think you already heard about this. He's a big star who was able to break records and his fans are screaming for justice. This work weighs more than you can imagine but I'll give this to you since I trust you."

"Okay. I'll be there at your office by thirty minutes and we'll talk over this case. Bye." And before he could even bid his farewell, I ended the phone call.

As I finished pampering myself, I got into my porsche and immediately drove to his office.

Who could be the killer? Sa lahat ba naman ng matripang patayin, isang sikat na tao pa.

I parked my car and went directly to the prosecutor's office. We discussed about the murder case and it turns out na hindi lang ako ang kinuha nilang detective. May isa pa at sabi nila, kapatid daw ng biktima.

Usually, they don't allow someone who's close to the victim work on the case since the probability of involving personal feelings is too high, ewan ko ba ba't biglang ganito. Might be a really special case.

There was also a knowing look on Xander's - or Mr. Lim if I have to be formal - face and I can't help but be a bit interested.

Pagkatapos naming pag-usapan ang kaso ay agad na akong dumiretso sa dorm ng banda, kung saan nangyari ang krimen. I don't want to waste time, lalo na't malaking pera ang ibabayad sa'kin 'pag nasolve ko 'tong kaso.

At isa pa, doon ko daw mamimeet ang partner ko.

As I got there, I went straight to the victim's room and examined the place. Blood, blood everywhere. I don't know why but the whole room smells good, though.

"What are you doing here? Your partner is waiting for you outside." I looked at my back and saw Blake, a police slash my high school friend, who's leaning by the door.

I nodded and went out of the room. He closed the door as soon as I came out at ewan ko kung namamalikmata lang ba ako but I saw him smirked. Or was it a frown? Ewan ko.

I just shrugged it off and went outside. I saw a familiar woman, wiping something in her face. Maybe tears?

Nang matanggal niya na ang tissue sa mukha niya, dun ko lang talaga siya namukhaan. "Angela?"

Ba't nga ba hindi ko agad naisip iyon? May kapatid nga pala si Angela na 'Jungkook' rin ang pangalan.

That was why Xander had that look on his face.

She faced me and her swollen eyes rounded up a bit. "Jodi," She walked towards me and hugged me. I was stunned for a moment before I hugged her back and started to knead her back to calm her down. "Shh... Stop crying."

Angela Jeon's POV

Katatapos lang namin mag-usap ng makakapartner ko, which is Jodi, sa pag-imbistega ng kaso ni Jungkook, ang kapatid ko.

She's my high school best friend and I'm glad na siya ang makakapartner ko. It was a bit awkward but we shared and talked about how our lives went after high school hanggang sa nakarating ang conversation namin sa kapatid ko. Muntik nanaman akong maiyak. Mabuti nalang at nandiyan siya para damayan ako.

Kaso nga lang ay may biglang tumawag sa kanya at sinabi niyang may aasikasuhin muna siya kaya naiwan nanaman akong mag-isa.

I decided to take a walk nang may biglang nakabangga sa'kin. Isang lalake na di masyadong katangkaran, singkit, and a little muscular.

"최송합니다." He bowed.

Nag bow lang rin ako at aalis na sana nang bigla siyang nagsalita. "Mag-iingat ho kayo, noona." He bowed again and before he left, I saw his lips form a small grin.

Tiningnan ko lang ang likod niya habang naglalakad siya papalayo. Park Jimin.

'Di ko alam pero hindi maganda ang kutob ko sa kanya.

Someone's POV

Ang dali namang kumalat ng balita. Jeon Jungkook, patay! Natawa nalang ako. Sikat nga talaga 'tong lalakeng 'to.

Bumuga pa ako ng usok at tsaka tinapon ang sigarilyo at tinapak-tapakan. I looked at my right side saka nakita ang pader ng kapatid kong puno ng pictures ni Jungkook.

Hinaplos niya ang isang picture at napansin kong di pa pala natutuyo ang dugo ni Jeon Jungkook doon.

Napangisi nalang ako nang ipinunas niya sa labi niya ang dugo.

I'm sorry, Jeon Jungkook.

"All I want is him. Naki-epal ka pa." Pinunasan niya ang luhang pumatak mula sa mata niya at ibinaba ang karayom na ginamit niya pantahi. "All I want is his blood. Bakit ka pa nakisawsaw? Ayan tuloy napala mo."

Kinuha niya ang karayom at tinusok ang mata ni Jeon Jungkook sa picture na nakadikit sa isang manika. "Masakit ba?" At tinusok niya pa ang isang mata ng paulit-ulit. "Oh, ayan. Tinusok ko na rin ang isa para pantay na. Oh, ano? Masakit pa ba?"

Tinusok niya pa ang litrato nang paulit-ulit hanggang sa nasira na ito.

Natawa nalang siya at saka tiningnan ang punit na litratong nakakalat sa sahig. "Kung hinayaan mo nalang sana ako na makuha siya.. ang dugo niya."

"Di ka nalang sana namatay nang ganyan, Jungkook."
