SEHUN POV 


We were in the Escape Room for 45 minutes. Sejeong has that go get it attitude that helped my confidence when it came to solving clues, whenever I was quiet she would wait patiently for me to speak up. She never disapproved my suggestion when I guessed on a problem or made fun of me when we got something wrong. I realized I didn't need to be brave for her, I just needed to back her up. When Sejeong wanted to do something, my job was to give her a chance in her choices. Just like she did for me. I could be that person for her. After we did the escape room Sejeong said she needed to meet up with Gugudan for dance practice. I understood, but didn't know how to say goodbye. Sejeong must have sensed my unsure because she gave me a hug and whispered she would see me later for Busted tomorrow. I sighed happily and hugged her back before waving down a cab for her. When I got home I felt giddy, I ran around the room with Vivi she didnt understand my excitement but was happy to join in the craziness with the emotion I was holding inside. At that moment my stomach started to growl, I took Vivi out to go to the bathroom and then decided to get some food. I checked the restraunts around in my area and chose a new one that just opened yesterday. I called the restraunt ahead and told them I would need a table for one. The restraunt was highly exclusive and had a V.I.P. section on the top floor. The atmosphere was nice and elegant, with a Japanese vibe. I walked in and around the corner I saw Lee Seung Gi. Lee Seung Gi told the waiter would be eating with him tonight. "Hyung, how are you?" Sehun asked. Lee Seung Gi patted Sehun on the shoulder and guided him to the table. "I'm doing well, and I finished the last episode of Vega Bond." Lee Seung Gi said. "Congratulations hyung, does that mean you'll be doing Busted with us next?" Sehun asked. "Oh yes, you'll see me in a bit." Lee Seung Gi said. "What's new with you?" asked Lee Seung Gi "Uh,...I..I finished my, newest song with Chanyeol, we'll be singing it live, and not much just focusing on Busted." said Sehun. "I didn't know if I should share my relashionship status, best to keep it to yourself." I thought. Lee Seung Gi nodded and said he's been a fan of EXO and is happy I'm taking the unintuitive of branching out on my own. Sehun was pleased to hear that. Lee Seung Gi asked what I planned to order. I forgot what I was going to get, but I decided to risk trying their special for tonight. I mostly stay away from new foods because I worry about food poisoning. Lee Seung Gi chose a soup. Lee Seung Gi said a buddy of his from the show would be on Busted. "Who?" I asked. Lee Seung Gi replied, "Yook Sungjae, he'll be happy to see Sejeong again. The first time I met him he told me he was closest to Gugudan Sejeong." Lee Seung Gi smiles "I love match making every once in awhile." He says. Sehun breaks his chopstick in half because of how tighthe was holding. "Oh it must be faulty. Here let's get you another one." Says Lee Seung Gi. Sehun takes a breath to calm himself. "Too bad she won't feel the same way Sungjae." I thought. The waiter gives me a new chopstick and another arrives with our meal. "Oh this looks good." Lee Seung Gi exclaims. I take a bite, but I'm quiet. Lee Seung Gi was surprised at the big portion size I got. Sehun offers hyung to eat some of his meal. "Aren't you going to ask me about Bae Suzy?" He sees my confusion and explains, "Every male K-pop star has asked me about her, except you." Lee Seung Gi asks. Sehun shrugs his shoulders, not sure what to say. "I am seeing someone special?" I thought, "No, no, just say this.." "I'm too busy to be thinking about a relationship." Sehun replies. "Well let me know when you want to date. I can put in a good word for you to any girl band, okay?" Lee Seung Gi says. Sehun nods, but knows he doesn't want to look he's already found a great one.


SEJEONG POV 


Dinner was great with the girls, we head back to the dorms everyone checking their emails before heading to bed, except me. Now that I have a phone it's nice to not have to worry about someone peaking over the computer while I write. I text Sehun good night before putting on my eye mask and falling asleep. The next day I get a email from Sehun, he says he hopes I had pleasant dreams. Sejeong blushes and quickly takes a shower and gets ready for the day. Her manager texts her that he's outside with the van. Sejeong heads downstairs and gets in the car. Sejeong asked what her manager did on his day off. He said he went out on a date. "Woah so did I." Sejeong thought. He tells Sejeong he will call her today for another date. "Good for you." Sejeong says. Sejeong gets an email from Sungjae, saying he has a surprise for her since she agreed to come in his show, All the Butlers'. "I hope it's food, I need to do a shopping list for groceries with Gugudan members." Gugudan doesn't shop much for food, just the necessities and female products. Sejeong arrives at the set. Sejeong says hello to everyone and the cast members and Sehun last. "Good morning Hyung-nim." Sejeong says. "Good morning Sejeong-ah." Sehun says back and looks down trying to seem aloof. The director says they will continue to lead off the exact same way. So we are dressed in the same clothes as before and taken to the hospital. On the way to the hospital, Sehun finds my hand and gives a little squeeze. I try not to react, but on the inside me heart feels like it's fluttering with bats. My immediate reaction when entering the hospital is shocked as I see a paitent jump on Jong Mins body yelling in excitment for her father tomgive her a piggyback ride. Sehun starts to chuckle, luckily a nurse comes out and tells the paitent to go away or she will get a shot so she will calm down. Yoo Jae suk introduces us to the nurse and begins asking her if she knew the former paitent C. The nurse said he was under her care while he was here. The nurse shows us the room he stayed in and other paitents he interacted with. One was in the music room the other was in a dining area. We split up again as I head toward the music room I am surprised to see a member of the genius detective playing the piano. We find out that he no longer speaks except for using his music to communicate. The detectives find patients who communicated in their own language speaking backwards. Sejeong and Sehun made lots of breakthroughs at the hospital, it was probably the practice from yesterdays escape room the two did, but will never admit it. The Busted members find clues about a woman named Stephanie Lee, whom C became enamored with and was waiting for her at Stephanie's office. The Busted team members head out to Stephanie's home, the door is unlocked but we head in together. Unnie Min Young finds a ladder by the door and chooses to climb it. The shoes Sejeong is wearing makes it slippery whilst climbing as Min Young calls us to hurry. Sehun rests his hand on my back as I climb up to keep me from falling back. When Sejeong sees what has Min Young so shocked, "C's been killed!" While Busted members are assessing the situation, in comes the owner Stephanie Lee. Stephanie begins to accuse us of killing C, we deny it as we just arrived 10 minutes ago. Stephanie claims she just arrived from the airport and saw a car parked in the driveway and came upstairs. Sejeong checks her luggage and the time stamped on the bag. It said 10 A.M. from Inchon. Stephanie explains to us, she is a crime investigator and checks C's body, It appears C was dead 4 to 6 hours ago and must have known the person, and it was done by one person. She tells Busted members Stephanie used to visit him to learn methods killer used, but her last visit didn't go so well after C said he was visited by someone else recently. The next day C showed signs of paranoia. "He must have known someone was coming for him, but why?" Sejeong thought I check his arm and find another QR code. Sehun uses his phone to do a scan and a video is downloaded. We watch the scene unfold it looks like K is stabbing someone in the video, in the video we notice someone has a burn or scar on his hand. Stephanie says she will need to call the police and consents to us checking her house for clues C might have left behind. Sejeong finds a phone and the hospital gown C wore. Sejeong and Ahn Jae-wook look through the text messages from C. In one message Lee Yu-jin is mentioned and there is a picture of the man. The other is a message from a Tae hang-ho. We agree to split up and check their alibi's and any more clues we can find. 


SEHUN POV 


Sejeong, Yoo Jae suk,  and I arrive at a general store,  inside is a husky man spraying his flowers. "Hello," says Sejeong. The man introduces himself as Tae hang-ho and if he wants answers to our questions we need to give him 10,000 dollars. Yoo Jae suk begins to get annoyed with Tae hang-ho and argues back and forth. Sejeong and I look everywhere else but Yoo Jae suk after Tae hang-ho says he needs money. Sehun tries to keep the two apart from starting a fight. Sejeong says, "This might not work, but um..." "Oh God I can't look" when I see Sejeong start to struggle saying the one word that's hard for her to say. Sehun turns his head and holds his breath to keep from laughing. "O-Oppa." Sejeong stutters  "MONEY!" Tae hang-ho says, as he isn't suade by her aegyo voice. "Don't be stingy" whines Sejeong "What is she doing?" Tae hang-ho says shocked by her behavior. Yoo Jae suk asks if there is anyway for him to answer our questions without paying. "A bet." Tae hang-ho says. We agree to his terms after he shows us the game we need to bet on, after Tae hang-ho sees Yoo Jae Suk's watch. Sehun nods, "Hyung." Sejeong adds "You trust us right?" Yoo Jae suk is reluctant, but agrees. The game Tae hang-ho chooses is Jegi. It's like hacky sack but with bingo. "Why don't we just trade you the watch instead?" Sehun suggests "Good idea." Sejeong agrees. "Yah Sejeong!" Eclaims Yoo Jae Suk. "We need the information." Sejeong reminds him. "Oh this Se-Se duo is killing me!" Yoo Jae suk complains "Se-Se duo?" Tae hang-ho asks "Sehun and Se-jeong." Explains Yoo Jae suk  "Se-Se silly." Tae hang-ho says. Sejeong and I lean back and laugh it off. "Not bad, I like the nickname." I glance to Sejeong. She grins and comes over to me. She admits she's not good at this game to me. I suggest starting with the easy numbers to get practice for her. It isn't long before we win the game. Tae hang-ho says he knew C as a client about 2 months ago. We leave to meet up with thr other half when, Sehun receives a call from Stephanie. She explains she had the video analyzed by a detective we know. In the video there is a mirrow and when the video was zoomed in it shows C killing the scientist, and not K. Also the detective said there has been another murder by the overpass tunnel in Panju possibly connected to our murders. We needed to be there, I replied the information back to Yoo Jae suk and Sejeong. Yoo Jae suk agreed we needed to go to the tunnel and see if there's any clues that tie in to someone killing C and K. I sent Sejeong the address Stephanie sent me so she could forward it to Min Young.  We arrived shortly and saw sargent Kim Min Jae. The sergeant gives us permission to examine the body. Sure enough it's our mystery burned scar man, with a knife to the chest just like the others. Yoo Jae suk says to check for a QR code and Sejeong and I do.

My thumb brushes hers and Sejeong strokes over mine careful not to rub off the stamp code of the victim's arm. However when Sehun goes to scan the code with his phone, it won't work. The code was damaged by a scratch wound. Yoo Jae suk finds the scared man's phone in his last message before he died he was telling someone the scientist had a son. We had already solved the daughter's death in season 1, but it appears the son has taken revenge for their deaths.
