12: 04 AM, December 25th
"Breaking news. Celebrity, Oh Sehun, has been reported dead in his home on the night of 24th of December, few hours before Christmas."
Flashing red and blue lights from police cars and an ambulance concerned the whole neighbourhood. Instead of enjoying themselves on the joyous occasion with their loved ones, they were outside their houses, distracted from celebrating their feast on Christmas Eve, worried for their famous neighbor.
‘What happened?’ most of them thought.
“He’s dead?” most of them gasped in shock with unexplainable fear in their eyes after hearing the news.
Commotion began when an ambulance team came out rolling a stretcher with a body covered with white cloth to their vehicle from a house—Oh Sehun’s house. Cameramen and reporters around ran to the team to get a good look at the body with their shameless cameras, but police officials blocked them away from the confidential scene.
Shocked, people around had their jaws dropped, gasping, after recognizing the broad shoulders and the long figure lying under the thin white cloth on a stretcher. Indeed, it was the rising star, Oh Sehun.
The news came like fire, invading TV channels, flooding social media feeds—spoiling everyone’s celebration. The news was unbearable, especially to his truest fans, who couldn’t do anything but wept for the fallen actor behind their screens. Everyone was clueless why such a thing happened.
Suddenly, a silhouette. A familiar silhouette walked out from the main doors of Sehun’s home, putting everyone in silence. Reporters reported and recorded everything they were seeing, journalists took pictures of every movement that was taking place. He was calm, walking calmly as possible even with two police officers gripping his upper arms tight. He showed no weakness, no emotion, because every movement he chose to do, everyone had something to say about it.
However, as soon as they got nearer the police car, people noticed he was muttering to the police officers. The crowd couldn’t hear their indistinct conversation because of the loud noise that came from sirens and from the loud crowd. Questions started raising around with the exact same thought.
Did Luhan, the man that walked out, killed his co-star, or who was more likely known as his best friend?
Luhan’s brows and lips were tensed with anger, but his eyes said differently.
One from the crowd overheard Luhan’s conversation with one of the police officers, “Believe me, I’m innocent.”
The cop replied, "That'll be settled through an interrogation, boy."
