FLASH---X1
🔪
I was doing my work enjoying the peace and quiet my workplace was making for the first time in what seemed like awhile since the weekend ended I had to go back to work
As much as moon-jo begged me to stay with him I simply couldn't and I had to go to work since I had been missing too many work day's I sighed stretching I had been working all day and I haven't caught a break yet
I leaned against my chair I still need to visit ji-eun it's been awhile since we last talked probably because we're so busy we barely have time for us well... I have time for her but she always seems to be busy
Work was almost finished anyways so I didn't have to worry about leaving early lately though the workers have been quiet not that I mind but it's weird
"Okay everyone time to go home" a tired Jae-ho said the rest of the workers tiredly stood up to leave as well I wasn't as tired as them but I could use some rest
Lately the company has been growing so because of the lack of worker's we've been staying extra late to finish work jae-ho says he's going to go job hunting so I can't wait for that
I left the building going straight to ji-euns building I happily knocked on her door excited to see her after not being able to I waited for awhile not hearing anything
I remember her telling me through the phone that her roomate was going to visit her parents so ji-eun would be the only one home maybe she went out with some friends
But just to make sure I knocked again I bit my lip turning the door knob I know I wasn't supposed to but what if she was in trouble I gasped surprised to see it was unlock my concern for her went higher
I opened the door smelling something horrible I covered my nose with my shirt "oh god what's that smell" I mumbled into my shirt I made my way into ji-euns room seeing it completely fine
I looked around trying to see if anything was out of place I looked on her bed to see her phone I picked it up seeing my message I furrowed my brows why didn't she answer? Maybe she just forgot her phone
Yeah but for two day's that seems a bit suspicious I debated with myself deciding I'd come back tomorrow to make sure if everything was okay and if she still hasn't than I was definitely going to report this to the police
I turned around ready to leave when I saw something on the ground I picked it up immediately putting it back down "ugh gross why would she have a tooth laying around" I made my way out of the apartment and onto mine
When I entered I was immediately brought into a hug I was going to push them away but relaxed when I knew who it was "I missed you so much honey" moon-jo said shoving his face in the crook on my neck
I chuckled patting his back "it was only-" I was cut off when moon-jo quickly broke the hug I was confused "wha-" moon-jo started sniffing me I blushed pushing him away "Jesus what are you doing?" He stared at me frowning "that smell...it smells like murder"
I gasped looking at him surprised "wha- I didn't kill anyone I swear" I have no idea why I tried to defend myself when he could've been joking but that set something off in me "no I know, did you visit anywhere?" I pursed my lips how the hell does he know what murder smells like?
"Um I went to work and then ... Ji-euns place you know her place did smell a bit ...weird oh my gosh d-do you think ...something could've happened?" I said panicking I turned around going to go to the police my concern now fully awaken when moon-jo quickly brought me back into a hug
"Shhh no sweetie I'm sure nothing is wrong" he said soothingly running his fingers in my hair as his gentle breath tickled my neck I slightly calmed down still tense and worried "how about you go take a shower, okay? I'll make sure to ...Investigate" I nodded my head not exactly wanting to leave his comfortable embrace
💉
While in the shower I couldn't help but think of a question that's been swarming in my head how exactly does moon-jo know what death smells like? Has he ever- no, no I'm sure that's not it maybe his job has to do something with death yeah I'm sure that's it .... A dentist he's a dentist I groan
Ah whatever this question has me getting a headache but is it really that far fetched that moon-jo killed before I mean if I think about it he's a dentist living here meaning he has the money but is living in this shit hole and no one would do that unless hiding a deep dark secret
And don't get me started on the tenants here I think the only normal one's here are me, seok-yun and probably Ms um I mean she stills gives me some type of weird vibes but I doubt she would be apart of anything bad that's probably happening here...right?
If she is then I truly can't trust anyone here what if seok-yun is the same ...same as what? I pursed my lips it seems that deep down I know something is happening but I'm scared to explore it I don't want to get involved but I might just be getting more than involved for god sakes I'm hanging with the "boss"
The mastermind that controls everyone here like pawns in a chess game and I had him wrapped around my little finger but do I truly hate that? Would I hate him if I found out the dark secrets he's been hiding here in the residence
I sighed turning off the water I quickly put my clothes on going straight to my room lately I had been staying with moon-jo but with the thoughts in my head I think I might need some space away from everyone here
I mean what if he truly did have dark secrets? I'm sure everyone here is probably involved were they laughing behind my back? Thinking I have no idea what's going on I bet I'm probably their next victim
Ah, what victims? I'm going crazy what exactly am I thinking they do? Kill? I chuckled at my thoughts yeah right like they could actually pull that off and not get caught but with a mastermind I'm sure they can especially if it was moon-jo
I heard a knock on my door I jumped my heart beating fast oh Jesus that scared me I opened the door seeing moon-jo looking at me "why are you here?" I furrowed my brows "why am I in my room?" I asked confused "you sleep in my room" he stated moving forward slightly
I felt the fear and nervousness in my veins a thought coming in my mind did they know I suspected them of something? Surely not right? I smiled trying not show my true emotions "ah, I wanted to sleep in my bed I'm probably just gonna sleep here for now" I closed the door
So much for not showing my true emotions I'm sure moon-jo knows something is up I could see it in his eye's I ruffled my hair groaning softly I'll keep an eye on them I'll make sure to find out what's happening here especially if it somehow relates to ji-euns smelly room
No one would've known what that smell was and not only that but he asked me if I visited somewhere like he was checking to see I had truly visited the place he murdered in was moon-jo actually a murderer?
I lay on my bed if so was seok-yun actually involved he had only recently moved in so I'm not sure maybe he wasn't he seems different pure and innocent maybe that was just an act I'm not sure but I'll stick by myself just to make sure and when I truly know who's true and who's bad I'll try my best to protect the good one's
I rolled on my side closing my eyes letting my body relax actually when I was in moon-jos room the night of the panic attack I had I could've swore I saw a hole in his room and I know that's probably a silly thing to be hung up on but the hole was big and deep enough to see through the other side of the room which leads to my room
I shivered looking at my wall trying to see if I could find a hole what if he was looking through it right now and he knows that I know that he's watching me I looked away from the wall remembering to act normal but should I really when moon-jo probably already knows something is up
Life is so complicated especially if you think your tenants are murderers a silly thought yeah I know maybe I drunk beer and I just have temporarily amnesia what a stupid idea I sigh deciding to sleep
💉
When I woke up my body felt stiff like I was hugged all night in a tight space I looked over to my side seeing it normal would moon-jo really come in to secretly hug me pff I'm going insane
I got up and left the room I was making my way out when I ran into seok-yun ah this is the perfect chance to see if he's apart of anything fishy again I'm not entirely sure about this I'm probably just bored trying to make something up for fun
"Hey seok-yun how's it going?" I smiled trying to act friendly so I could get some information out of him man that sounds horrible "thing's are good especially with gi-hyeok he's such a nice person" I pursed my lips smirking slightly I'm getting somewhere
"Oh really tell me more about him I mean it" I smiled softly my excitement getting out making him get excited "well lately he's been more talkative and friendly and I don't normally see that when he interacts with other people" he sighed looking down before looking back at me with a debating face
"Although lately he's been leaving everyday at the exact same time every night" I furrowed my brows that's weird to include if you have a good relationship with someone maybe it's been on his mind and he wanted to vent "ah maybe he has work" I suggested shrugging softly
"At 3 am?" Hm maybe I'm getting somewhere although this could be a trap "nightshift probably well I have to get going" I waved him goodbye and made my way out seeing moon-jo sitting outside with a tennis ball bouncing I ignored him pretending I didn't see him
"Honey, where are you going?" I turned around to see moon-jo right infront of me I wanted to flinch but I held it in how did he get here so fast that's not even the scariest part it's the fact that I didn't hear or notice anything following me "a-ah I'm going to work what about you? Have anything interesting going on ...lately?"
Moon-jo smiled the tennis ball bouncing up and down as moon-jo effortlessly caught it "nice try baby" he smirked my attention was brought back to him "w-what?" He kissed me on the lips before leaving I-... What just happened?
He knows, he knows that I'm investigating him and the tenants I shivered how the hell did he know so fast I tried not to show anything yet he still caught on did seok-yun lie to me about gi-hyeok was he truly in on it
I've got so caught up in my thoughts that I made it to work I didn't want to be here but there's no turning back I entered seeing new people I hesitated before going back to my desk I turned around at the tap on my shoulder
I was faced with a smiling boy who had a tag around his neck I smiled but still felt some what confused "yes?" The smiling boy bowed "I'm the new worker here I just wanted to introduce myself I'm si-woo nice to meet you" he smiled taking his hand out for a handshake
I smiled taking his hand shaking it softly "I'm jong-woo it's a pleasure to meet you si-woo" too formal? Probably need to bring it down a touch we separated hands I looked at him now that I'm fully looking at him he looks tall "ah where do you sit?" I looked around trying to see for any desk with his name on it
He smiled chuckling a bit pointing next to me I looked at the desk next to me that had some stuff neatly organized I chuckled "right, well I better get back to work" I turned around and began working trying to distract my mind from my early thoughts
Right okay let's get started soon the workplace was surrounded by keyboard sounds and frustrating groans although it couldn't compare to when we didn't have si-woo now that we have a new worker thing's seem to have calmed down just slightly but once we get used to it the work load won't even seem that hard
The clock on the wall kept ticking down the hour's until we could all finally go home I looked up at the clock seeing we only had a couple more minuets time really does pass by when you're busy I heard a loud clap snapping me out of my thoughts
I looked over at whoever made the noise seeing my boss standing up "okay seeing as we worked hard why don't we go out to eat?" He suggested the old me would've declined but with all my thoughts I think I could use a drink
Everyone nodded their heads a murmur of agreements filling the room the girl quickly came over to me I can never seem to remember her name "you accepted quickly is there anything on your mind?" Wow the observation skills this girl has is amazing
I shrugged not really wanting to get into it at the moment "something like that" she hummed continuing to walk besides me "you seem to get along well with her" I looked to my right to see si-woo
I smiled "well she is a coworker" he softly jabbed me in the arm "you know that's not what I meant" he smirked I chuckled shaking my head "no, we're only acquaintances" which received me a look "you seem comfterable around me despite the fact we just met"
I commented not really minding he's like a more playful version of seok-yun he smiled "yeah you seem to be a trustworthy person" I nodded what it would be like to actually trust be able to trust the people you were temporarily living with
Instead of doubting their every move and intentions I looked up to see the restaurant we usually go to I sat down next to si-woo as he immediately grabbed the menu making talk with the worker's meanwhile I ate the fries the waiter brought
This is what I liked best about the restaurant the free fries they gave as appetizers they're really good everyone ordered their food but to be honest I only wanted a bowl of fries
I was eating a fry minding my own business occasionally dipping it in ketchup "so where do you live?" I heard si-woo ask eating his own food I ate another fry before answering "uhh in a residence" should I really tell him about it after what I've been thinking of the tenants
He nodded his head "what's it called?" To try and divert the question I chuckled "you seem to be awfully interested" si-woo shrugged "well yeah I mean you do seem intreseting" he smiled
His vibe was pretty familiar I just couldn't pinpoint it I smiled "is that a good thing?" Si-woo nodded "oh of course especially if you can do what you did" I stared at him confused "do what exactly?"
He smirked pushing me softly "you know what I'm talking about" his eye's showing amusement I looked down at my bowl of fries not knowing a damn thing he was talking about what did I do to make me an interesting person?
It must've been a good thing if he's making a big deal about it I just don't remember anything he's talking about I was going to clarify by what he meant but he was probably just gonna joke again and I don't think I had the energy for that
I just chuckled along suddenly getting bored I wanted to just go to sleep and cuddle ah ...right
The restaurant dinner was nice I mean it wasn't fun but most likely because I wasn't in the mood to be out even if I did want a distraction this wasn't working and in the back of my brain I'm still thinking of ji-eun
Maybe I should just go to the police I don't really want to leave it in the hands of the person I'm suspecting at the moment on my way to the residence I almost tripped on a rock
"Jesus" I mumbled straightening myself up again "are you okay?" My head quickly snapped to the voice I was surprised to see gi-hyeok I softly gasped "oh...yeah I'm fine" I smiled softly
He nodded and began walking with me we weren't that far away from the residence but it was still a pretty good walk "it's a surprise to catch you out here this late" gi-hyeok shrugged
"I had some important business to do" I hummed not really wanting to intrude not like I could even if I wanted to the walk was nice and quiet I really felt at ease well besides the fact that I think gi-hyeok has a high possibility of being a murderer then yeah I was as ease as I could get
We made it to the residence I had a off topic question I wanted to ask gi-hyeok but I wasn't sure if I wanted to ask "what?" Gi-hyeok asked walking down the hall man his observation skills are also amazing "about you and seok-yun?" He looked at me smirking slightly "off limits" I chuckled nodding my head "I thought so"
"Don't worry moon-jo gives me the creeps" I chuckled at his word's knowing damn well what he was feeling although is a pawn supposed to talk about his boss like that I watched as gi-hyeok left to his room sighing I stepped into mine
I heard the door next to me open and it couldn't be gi-hyeok since I just saw him go into his room so it must've been moon-jo either way I shouldn't care because as far as I'm concerned I'm sleeping I lay on my bed the light's off I quickly check to make sure I left the door locked relaxing once I found out it is
I heard a soft knock on my door I internally groan I didn't want to talk to him not at the moment let's just pretend I'm sleeping "I know you're not asleep honey" he said you could hear an emotion from his voice but I couldn't pinpoint it or I just chose to ignore it
"I just wanted to say... I can't sleep without you so I'm forcing you to sleep with me" wait what? Force me how is he going to do th- the door opened I sat up looking at moon-jo in shock "how did you open the door? It was locked" I was a bit freaked out which caused me to be rude
Moon-jo walked in softly grabbing my arm but I resisted and snatched it away "Jesus what the hell are you doing? You're acting like a jealous boyfriend just go to sleep by yourself you don't need me" I might've just went ape shit on him but he just broke into my room and is now forcing me to sleep with him
Moon-jo looked at me I gasped seeing all his emotions and I saw exactly when that emotion clicked into place he was like one of those crazy obsessive people ah I'm screwed come on jong-woo keep yourself together forget investigating just forget everything and leave this place with the innocent people
Which by now I'm saying is no one but me I sighed getting out of the bed and following moon-jo to his room he closed the door "why don't you ever lock the door?" I got into his bed like it was mine getting comfortable just waiting for him to join me
He scoffed "like anyone would enter my room" you could see how stupid my question was moon-jo was totally right who in their right minds would want to walk into moon-jos room without expecting consequences
Ah wait didn't I just do that? Yeah I did but I had moon-jos approval and it's not like he could ever hurt me right? I shivered at the thought moon-jo climbed into bed instantly bringing me into his arm's his head in the crook of my neck he took a whiff before sighing "ah baby you smell so nice"
Now you would think that would be creepy to hear especially coming out of moon-jos mouth but to be quite honest I liked to hear that it made my heart swell in warmth I don't even know why I try to ignore him when I know that's just going to make me want him more
Let's make tomorrow the same as everyday just hanging with moon-jo "goodnight moon-jo" I softly said earning me a kiss on the head "mm goodnight sunshine sweet dreams"
