The weekend was the only day of the week that allowed students to finally have a semblance of respite for the most part. Minho had decided not to do anything at all, standing in front of his window. He wears jogging bottoms with a branded t-shirt, and he resassed the events of the week.
The message that led them to the discovery of Jimin's body by the way who sent them this damn message, the police who knew of the existence of the Miraji drug at school, and now the fact that Jisoo decides to tell others about the holy phone week.
Always in his bubble when he receives a message

Minho decides to ignore his friend's message, he had forgotten how persistent he was.

Minho ignored Daehyun's last message. Their friendship seemed strange to others. For Daehyun, Minho was a friend, a bond forged by their parents' relationships, and they had always frequented the same places - schools, restaurants, etc. This applied to their entire small group, but for Daehyun, his relationship with Minho had a special meaning.
On the other hand, Minho, they were not friends, just like the others. He saw in them only interests. Everyone could bring him something. This was one of the reasons why Minho avoided getting close to anyone: his environment.

I don't want to have friends
The Choi family was involved in troubled cases, and Minho was aware of it. Distrust was a golden rule within the clans. Every person who approached him aroused suspicion. Why would we want to know it? Is it for his last name? These were the questions that swirled in his mind.
Having already experienced situations where people tried to use it to reach his family, Minho had decided to apply the same Baem rules in his daily life.
In front of his window, he was far from suspecting that this evening risked placing him in a delicate position.
I hope for you Daehyun that the evening will be cool.
The previous night, Professor Park had committed suicide, and this event remained engraved in the officers' memory. The atmosphere was still so heavy. The inspector was sitting at her workstation, carefully going through the report of her colleagues regarding the search of the victim's room. Several elements troubled her.
Confused inspector —Lee, you searched the victim's room and now I receive the report? Why is that?
Lee, surprised by the question, showed a surprised expression before answering.
Lee —I... thought you had already received... the report.
Inspector — Who was in charge of giving it to me?
Lee —When we finished, Officer Park offered to bring it to you since he had to return to the post. I accepted.
Inspector — And when did it happen?
Lee — It was after the autopsy... you asked us to do this task.
Inspector —Okay, bring Park here.
At that time, Choi entered an hour late, under the pretext of Seoul's traffic jams.
Choi —Good morning, inspector. Sorry for the delay.
Inspector —We have a problem.
Choi —What's going on?
Inspector — Look at this.
She handed him the report, his expression serious. Choi opened it and scrutinized the details. A shiver of concern ran through his face as he read the inconsistent information about the contents of the victim's room

Choi —It doesn't make any sense. Why do we have the report now?
Inspector —That's precisely what I wonder. If Park has indeed taken this report, there must be a reason behind this deadline. And now we need answers.
Choi nodded, aware that every minute counted. The inspector stood up abruptly, determined.
Inspector — Choi, I want you to contact Park immediately and for him to come back here. We must clear up this mystery before other problems arise.
Choi —Understood. I'm in charge of it.
As he left the office, the inspector began to think about what might have happened that night. The events took a more complex turn than expected. She knew that every detail could be crucial to solving this case.
Shortly after, heavy steps are heard. Park had just arrived following Lee's call. He entered the office, his face marked by shock and worry.
Park —Inspector, I... I'm sorry for the delay. I reported to the chief, He wanted me to give it to him personally, but he was very insistent. He told me he would give it to you.
Inspector — Why didn't you say earlier, then?
Park — I thought you had already been informed... and I thought it was already done. I didn't know it hadn't been transmitted yet.
Inspector — You have to concentrate, Park. We need clarity here.
Park nodded, visibly in shock, realizing the extent of the situation. He knew that his neglect could have serious consequences, but his mind was in disarray.
The atmosphere in the office was tense as the inspector stood in front of Lee and Park, the two officers in charge of searching the victim's room. She needed clear answers to move forward in the investigation.
Inspector — Okay, let's talk about this report. What happened during the search of the room?
Lee —Well, inspector, we searched the room according to the usual protocols. Everything was clean and tidy.
Inspector —Clean and tidy? It seems a little too perfect to me. Did you notice something unusual?
Park —Not really. Apart from the fact that the room was... extremely clean. It doesn't correspond to what the parents described.
Inspector —And did you find the victim's phone?
Lee —No, we didn't find his phone. I thought it was strange, but there were so few clues that I didn't think about it at the time.
Inspector —And the famous notebook? Did you find this notebook that she always held on her?
Park — Nothing either. Just this impeccable room. It makes me think that they may have cleaned before we arrived.
Inspector — That's what I say to myself too. Do you think the parents wanted to clean up before the police arrived?
Lee — That could explain the excessive cleanliness. It's almost as if they wanted to erase all traces of disorder before our arrival.
Inspector — You must understand that every detail counts here. If the room has been cleaned, there may be things we missed. In any case, this report does not correspond to your words. You must be sure of what you have observed.
Park — I'm sorry, inspector. We did our best, but I now realize that we may have missed important things.
Inspector — It is crucial that you remember every detail, even those that seem insignificant. We have to find this notebook and the phone. I want you to go back there and check everything again. Every corner, every drawer.
Lee —Of course, inspector. We will make sure to search everything thoroughly this time.
As they talked, they did not notice that the day had slowly turned into night. The inspector, dissatisfied with the situation, ordered her officers to return and rest, preferring to stay alone at her office immersed in darkness. She was thinking about the reasons why the chief did not send her the initial report. Determined to get answers, she got up and went to the chief's office.
The inspector stood in front of the office, ready to confront her boss. It was a decisive moment. She knew that she was engaged in a perilous territory.
I do it or not. Should I shut up
A place where foxes and snakes are allied. In this service, loyalty was rare, and hidden truths were mixed with snicks. And she was about to throw it into the fox's dick.
Deep down I know that enemies are everywhere
The "snakes" represented those who betrayed, ready to stab in the back to protect their interests. As for the "fox", he symbolized the boss, a cunning man who sorely.
In this game of dupes, could I make an informed decision and emerge victorious?
The risk was great, but I knew I had to act with caution.
