Beads of cold sweat were trickling down Yoseob's temples as his eyes darted around the security room, trying to get more or any clues as to where Junhyung could be at. Hyunseung was checking through the dead bodies of the guards but was unable to find anything significant or unusual. Unable to do anything with the lack of knowledge, Yoseob gave a growl of frustration and started stomping out of the room, towards the lift lobby.      "Where are you going?"      "Confront the two bloody idiots and find out once and for all who the murderer is."     "Sure, they will let you do just that. After a month odd of keeping quiet, of silencing the guards in such a vicious manner, they would gladly sit down and admit to the crime. Yoseob use your brain. You're smarter than this."     The smaller male was about to give his rebuttal but was distracted from a sudden vibration in the pocket of his pants. Fishing his phone out, he quickly accepted the call and greeted the person hurriedly.      "Yoseob! We found Jun in the storeroom of near the lift lobby at level 20! He told us to call you immediately and get you back up here."     Heaving a huge sigh of relief, he signaled for Hyunseung to settle the two dead security guards as he ran to board a lift to the twentieth level. As the lift rumbled along upwards, the police officer sniffed a little.      Queer.     There was something queer and glistening at the corner of the matte metal surface of a lift button.     Narrowing his eyes, Yoseob frowned, 'blood'. He scanned his surroundings and spotted nothing unusual around the walls and floor. He furrowed his brows as he peered closely at the button. It had a touch of blood lined at a corner and more had probably seeped through it. There were no sharp or rough edges though, so no one would ever get a cut from pressing it.      Reaching for a cotton bud stick, he dabbed at the blood and packed it into a small clear bag, safely placing it into his pocket so as to be able to give it to Hyunseung to run tests on it. His focus has now shifted from the blood stains as he stared at the lift button and the number on it. It stood so proudly that it seemed like it was mocking him as his heart fell.     17.     'Mir', Yoseob cursed under his breath, 'so it really is you.'     There was soft 'ding' sound and the doors opened at level 20, with Doojoon and Dongwoon huddling around Junhyung, fussing over him. Putting more speed to his pace, he strode quickly over and kneeled in front of the seated man, worries etched deeply into his face. "Mr Yong, are you alright? What happened?"      Junhyhng smiled, causing Yoseob to wince as he knew that the older male was probably hurting from his pained and pale face. "I'm better. I was heading to the lift when someone hit me in the head from behind and I lost consciousness. Next thing I knew, I was in this dark place and I just kept yelling for help. Lucky for me, these two brats were visiting and heard me, unlocking the door from the outside. I'm still a little dizzy now so I'll just sit here for awhile."     The police officer nodded and reached for the back of his head, feeling around gently and sighed when he felt a small bump. "We have to go to the hospital now to get you checked for any internal bleeding or injuries. From now on, you are sticking to me 24/7, not leaving my side at all."     "Yoseob ah, you do know that you are smaller than Jun and you hardly count as a bodyguard right?" Doojoon teased as he slowly propped Junhyung up from under his arms, gesturing for Dongwoon to do the same as they guided the CEO to stand on his feet and enter the lift. "You will be helpful as a companion in that store room only but not much of a savior," Dongwoon added on, obviously believing that that the smaller male really couldn't do much in terms of protecting the CEO.      The police officer just smiled politely, knowing that the other two male didn't know his real identity and thus they were saying such things and so, he wasn't the slightest bit offended. In fact, he was pretty amused as Junhyung was looking at them with an 'if you all knew' smile, probably pitying them for the thrashing they might get for looking down on the police officer once Yoseob need not hide his identity anymore.     Throughout the car ride and all, the smaller male tried to catch the older male alone to give him updates on the case but he wasn't able to because Doojoon and Dongwoon kept interrupting him. When the CEO was whisked into a private room for his check up, he excused himself from the other two males and gave his updates to Hyunseung over the phone who had someone to rush over to collect the blood sample from him. By the time he got back to where he left Junhyung for his check up, only Doojoon was left as Dongwoon had to return to work for an urgent submission.      "Yoseob ah, I know I always I come across as a joker, someone unreliable and maybe a tad annoying."     "Annoying yes, but not really unreliable."     Doojoon smiled at the smaller male's remark and continued, "but I wanted to ask what is happening. I know that you and Jun are doing something pretty risky. There is no way that a random person would just go all the way to level 20 to hit him at the back of the head. In fact, that person managed to get him at the rare times when you were not with him. Also, I saw that the CCTV light was off and I know this is no coincidence. What exactly is going on?"      Yoseob was genuinely taken aback as he never expected Doojoon to be this observant and serious behind those cheeky smiles and touchy hands. He gathered himself quickly and smiled brightly at him, "I'm not sure what's up myself but I guess we should just leave it to the police to investigate about the person who attacked Mr Yong from behind? For the CCTV, I'll get Mr Yong's permission to check with them the reason behind them not working." He was lying through his teeth but he could not display any signs of him knowing about the dead security guards.      The cat eyes of the older male narrowed as he searched Yoseob's face for more clues but soon gave up when he knew that the smaller male wouldn't budge. Pulling him into a hug, Doojoon whispered softly in the bed of soft brown hair, "it's okay if you don't tell me. But promise that whatever it is, come to me the soonest you need help. I'm here for you and Jun, any time, any where."     The smaller male felt a strong sense of brotherly warming filling him up as he propped his head up, grinning at the older male and hugging him back, "Thanks, that's good to hear."      "Am I disturbing?"     Yoseob and Doojoon quickly removed one another from each other's arms as they stood up and faced the CEO who was frowning at them now. The smaller male giggled at the obvious display of jealous and skipped over to his side, hooking his arms around his, "what did the doctor say?"     The CEO pouted, knowing full well that Yoseob was distracting him and decided that questioning can be done in the mansion later tonight, "he said that I'm fine. No blood clots, no internal bleeding, no nothing."     "Great to know!" Doojoon quipped as he walked over to give a brisk hug to the CEO, "I'll be heading back to the office to settle some stuff and maybe help Dongwoon finish up his work, see you guys tomorrow!"     The moment Doojoon left them, Yoseob looked into Junhyung's eyes seriously and muttered,      "let's go, glass door."     ------     "What's going on?" Junhyung asked as he sat comfortably on a chair, massaging the small swell at the back of his head. Yoseob had maintained his silence all the way back home and his face was expressionless, his lips pursed.     "Both the security guards in the security room were murdered. On my first sight, they suffered the exact same type of wounds that your parents did. Not only that, the tapes for the necessary dates and timing for the toilet trip to identify the possible people who left the ring were missing. The screens for all lift lobbies, common corridors and your office were also out. Someone planned to eradicate the evidence for the mystery behind the ring and to stop you from finding it out."     Junhyung sighed and ruffled his hair frustratedly, "I knew it. The ring was missing from my pocket. So whoever who took it was probably the murderer. He knew that the ring might have his DNA and stuff on it."     Yoseob nodded in agreement and started pacing about the room, "he's smart and he moves so fast. We have kept everything spoken behind doors and yet he managed to catch wind of our progress so quickly and acted so quickly. He even is able to catch you at the short moment that you were not with me."     "Do you think he knows that you are a police officer?" Junhyung asked, worried now that the person would lay in ambush and attack Yoseob.      The smaller male shook his head confidently, "definitely not. If he did, while I was in a haste, running to look for you, completely unaware of my surroundings, he could have taken me down too. Now, it seems that he just wants to hide his tracks. He could have murdered you too but he didn't. It's strange though."     "Whatever it is, you are sticking to me too. We are not leaving each other until that man is caught."     Touched by the display of care and concern, the police officer smiled and nodded. His lips curled downwards soon after as he remembered something, "you know... While on the lift up after receiving Doojoon's call, I spotted some blood on a lift button. I sent it for testing to Hyunseung just now and I'm just waiting for a confirmation."     As if right on cue, Yoseob received a text message, read it and sighed.     "The blood really belonged to one of the security guards."     The CEO pinched the bridge of his nose as he closed his eyes, "the poor guards. They don't deserve such an end. To think it's someone within the company too!"     "Actually... There's more", Yoseob whispered as Junhyung opened his eyes to look at the smaller male whose eyes were now trembling, in disappointment, hurt and pain. His heart was tugged hard as he gazed into Yoseob's eyes and he asked softly, not daring to come off too strong as he was sure the younger male was affected by what he had discovered , "what else do you know?"     "The blood... I found it on a button. And you know how each button has a function or a level number on it right?" Yoseob inhaled deeply as he whispered hoarsely, knowing that saying it was finalizing the fact but unable to accept it still, "it read... Level 17."     In no more than three seconds, Junhyung had walked over to Yoseob and hugged the smaller male tightly. He cooed gently into the smaller male's ears, "if he did it, he has to face up to his actions. You will help him with that, with learning the right way, with turning into a new leaf. So don't despair."      "He killed your parents. How could you forgive him so easily?"     "I won't, I can't. But I don't want you to be suffering so much as this news. Me hating him will be a
