Chapter 24

"Strange! Then why is there no marks on it?" said detective Leo.

"How could we tell? You have to figure this out. That's your duty." said Jeong Eun.

"Yes, it's my duty but I can't understand anything. Ah, seriously!" saying this Leo took a long breath. After that, he said again, "Okay, Mr. Tae Jin, Don't you remember anything? Any of that?" Tae Jin wanted to remember and replied, "No."

"Okay, if you remember anything of that night, please let me know," said Leo and stood up to leave.

"Okay, I will. And thanks for accompanying me," said Tae Jin.

"No, it's my duty. And remember if I find that you were guilty, then I will not spare you. I am always with justice." said Leo.

"I want that too. Please, promise me, If you figure that out, then you'll give me punishment. I will take it." said Tae Jin. "As your wish." saying that Leo started to leave. After some time he walked, he came back and said, "Oh, listen, I will go to Gangnam today for my other case, So, I will not be available in my office, If you search for me anytime, call me. But if I don't receive your call then you have to understand that I am busy or something happened to me."

"What will happen to you?" asked Chi Won being afraid. Actually, he liked this guy because he thought that he is so cool. If Chi Won hadn't become an idol, he would have become a cool detective like him.

"Me? I am not sure about it," said Leo and was going to leave but Chi Won would not let him go until he doesn't answer his question. Chi Won came in front of him and stopped him from going.

"What? I have to go," said Leo being surprised.

"If you want to go, then you have to answer my question first," said Chi Won and smiled.

"Strange! This boy is totally weird. I never answered anyone's question because I ask questions and people answer me. Now I am getting interrogating by someone. Are they an idol group? I don't think so. They are weird people. No, super weird people." thought Leo and surprised. "Just tell him what he wants to know.

Or else he will not let you go" said Kang Min and laughed. He knows his brothers so well that he could tell easily who behaves how.

"Ask quickly," said Leo to Chi Won. All of them were enjoying his childish behavior. What will happen to you? Where are you going? And What you will do there? Please tell me, I want to know. Because if someday we disbanded, I will become a detective like you.Detective Chi Won." said Chi Won. His eyes were sparkling when he said that.

"You are too handsome to be a detective," said Leo.

"I know," said Chi Won and smiled being shy. Now Leo got angry because he thinks that he is wasting his time and once he figures out Tae Jin's matter,he will not come here again. But he couldn't tell them anything because they are not ordinary people. So, he keeps bearing with them.

"I am going there to catch a criminal. Okay? He is a dangerous criminal. He always has guns with him and has so many guards with him. He is now hiding in Gangnam. We have tried to catch him many times but he did his works so nicely that we couldn't get any single proof against him. But we have a double agent who works there and she will give me the information and proof that will help me to catch him. So, I have to go Gangnam and take the information and proof and try to catch that jerk. If I am caught by them, they will surely kill me. And I made a mistake by telling this. Can I leave now?"

"Yes you can," said Chi Won. He got sad by hearing that they will kill him. Why people commit crimes? Can't they live in peace? He could not understand.

"What's going on?" Woo Jin came and asked.

"Nothing," said Ha Joon.

"Why didn't you go to the salon yet? Go, quickly. I have another plan for you." saying this he looked at Leo who was leaving, he couldn't recognize him from his back so he asked, "who is he?"

"It's detective Leo," said Jeong Eun shortly.

"Oh! Why did he come here?" asked Woo Jin. "To find more proof for solving Tae Jin's problem." said Kang Min.

"Did I tell you to solve that?" asked Woo Jin.

"No, but...." said Tae Jin. Everyone astonished by hearing Woo Jin's reply. They could not imagine he will say that. But what? Why you are wasting time? You don't need to do that. The fans will forget about it soon if you pay attention to your work. If you do well and give people a nice and better work, then people won't judge your personal identity, they will judge you by your talent." sad Woo Jin. His voice was quite hard. No one could answer him because he was not in a good mood. They remembered, before some days maybe one year ago,he was fully different from now. He always had a smile on his face. He never got angry with them. He always acted like he was their friend and a brother. But why he has changed now they could not understand. So, everyone left the room silently to do what he ordered them. After they finished their beauty care, they came home and went to the practice room.

"All of you, stand beside yourselves. Tae Jin, come to the middle. And Chi Won, stand beside him, Jeong Eun, you also stand in Tae Jin's other side." he was teaching them how they have to stand on the stage. They have a photoshoot tonight. So, Woo Jin instructing them like he was teaching some school kids in the playground.

"Young Soo, stand by Jeong Eun and Ha Joon, stand by Young Soo. Now, Kang Min will stand beside Chi Won and Jung Hwa will stand beside Kang Min. Got it?" said Woo Jin. They all are doing as Woo Jin said. They all stood by each other and nobody noticed how beautiful they were arranged.

"That's right. You will stand like this during the photoshoot. It will be your new albums cover photo. So, you have to look gorgeous today. And you will do as I teach you. Okay? Now start practicing that song. I will turn the cameras on."

"Which song?" asked Ha Joon.

"Star of my eyes," said Woo Jin. "All of you remember your parts right?" he said again.

"Yes, " replied Young Soo.

"Then start practicing." said the manager and told their staff to turn the light and cameras on. They began to practice in front of cameras and light.

[On the phone of Eun Byeol]

Eun, where are you? I need to meet with you.

"Why? Is there something wrong? Why is your voice like that?" asked Eun from another side of the phone.

"No, There's nothing wrong," said Ji Na. "Are you hiding from me?" asked Eun. Because she knows her this friend so well. And she could understand that her voice is down now. Eun was at the restaurant where she works. She was cleaning the table after customers are gone. There were many customers today. So, she has a lot of work today. "Hey! Why are you talking on the phone instead of working? Who will do this works? Why you are wasting your time? Put down the phone and get back to work. I want the whole work finished within an hour." the manager yelled at Eun and left. Eun put her phone at her pocket after connecting headphone and started talking with Ji Na while working.

"Are you busy? Then call me later," said Ji Na. She heard the man shouting and felt bad for her.

"No, that's not a big deal. You can continue. I am doing both working and talking together." said Eun. She almost does this and got used to it. She finished cleaning a table and now she goes to another table. There were ten tables in total. And she has to clean all of these and after that, she has to clean the dishes. Then she can go home. It will be late at night so she is a little bit worried because her area is not safe for people at night.

"Are you listening? I have to meet with you as soon as possible," said Ji Na aggressively.

"That's why I am asking you why you are talking like that? Is everything okay?" asked Eun softly. Ji Na could not stop her crying and said while crying "No, everything is not okay. I have something to share with you. That's why I am asking you when you will be available." Eun knows her friend and she knows that very well. And now she knows that she will not give her peace until she will not tell her what's happened to her. "It will be late at night. So, if you could come to my restaurant now, I am available here," said Eun.

"Okay, I am coming." saying this Ji Na ended the call and within six or seven minutes she came to Eun's workplace. Eun finished cleaning all the tables. And now, she is cleaning the dishes There were so many plates, glasses, bowls, tea sets, and pans. And she has to clean all of it. Ji Na didn't go to the kitchen. She waits for Eun by sitting in a chair. Eun was working with the full attention that she didn't noticed Ji Na. Ji Na could not wait for any more. So, she went to the kitchen and saw Eun was working alone. There were no other staffs to help her. Seeing this she felt bad for her and she wanted to help her. She took a plate and start to wash this. Eun was surprised to see her like this.

"Hey! you don't need to do this. I could do all of this," said Eun.

"No, I will help you. So that your work will be finished soon and you can listen to me attentively," said Ji Na with a stern voice. Eun understood that she will not listen to her no matter what she says. Because she is very persistent. "Okay, go on," said Eun and started working again. After they finished their work they sit on chairs and took two drinks.

"Tell me what you want to say," said Eun. "You know, you were right about the boys. They could just play with girls hearts," said Ji Na holding her tears. "Would you please tell me what happened?" said Eun with a different voice. Because she just remembers that she has to calculate the total amount of selling and profit. There were two more staff in this restaurant before, but they quit their jobs for some reason. So, she has to do all of the works here.

"That boy..." saying that Ji Na begins to cry.

"What? Don't cry. Be strong. Just tell me what's the matter?" asked Eun softly. She could guess that Ji Na was talking about her boyfriend.

"I saw him today. He was with another girl. And when I asked about it to him, he said that he doesn't love me anymore because he found someone who is better than me." said Ji Na and kept crying.

"That son of a....." said Eun angrily and consoled her saying that,

"don't cry. You will find your true love one day. I was sure that this boy doesn't love you. He never loved you. But trust me, I assure you that you will find your true love one day. And that day is not so far. Just forget about the A**hole." said Eun. "Thanks for always being by my side." said Ji Na. She stopped crying now and tried to be strong as Eun says.

"Now, leave. It's getting late." said Eun and stood up.

"Let's go together." said Ji Na.

"I have a lot of work so I can't. I will meet you tomorrow. Now, Go Home. You shouldn't be late Call me after you get home." said Eun.

"Okay." said Ji Na and hugged Eun then left.
