Thursday, 3 pm

*Outside the old factory*

Haseul: Well, here we are

Yves: Of all the places, why here?

Heejin: I dont know, but Im willing to find out why *walks towards the building*

Hyunjin: Wow, shes really determined

Yves: Determined to die

Seungmi: No, no one will die. No one should...

Hyunjin: Because you'll get fired

Seungmi: Because I care for you!

Yves: You care for the salary

Seungmi: Lets just go please. Jiwoo, the paper?

Chuu: I got the paper, so Ill be reading any texts written on the walls!

Haseul: Stay close everyone, I dont like the looks of this

Yves: I do. I did my mv shooting here too

Hyunjin: It wouldnt be impossible that if you went crazy, you'd write this address down, right?-

Yves: Shut up and stay close to the group

*The group enters the building gates, cold wind is gushing and the place is incredibly silent*

Heejin: Ok I think im going to freak out

Hyunjin: So much for determination...

Yves: What? We havent even started!

Haseul: Heejin, what do you feel?

Yves: Terrified, ofcourse! She said shes freaking out!

Heejin: WHOS FREAKING OUT?! Im not, Im good! Incredibly good! *Smiles nervously*

Hyunjin: Babe, relax! Theres nothing to be afraid of!

Heejin: Im not afraid! Im good! *shaking*

Haseul: No Heejin, you are tense! Relax-

Heejin: I SAID I'M GOOD! 

*Everyone is silent*

Heejin: OH NOOOO, Im sorry, Im so sorry, I just, OMG I DONT FEEL GREAT oh gosh-

Haseul: Heejin, Stay calm and breathe!

Heejin: oMG WE HAVENT EVEN STARTED YET WHAT IS THIS FEELING WOAH *fear-filled laughter*

Yves: Oh well she's gone crazy too

Heejin: WHAT IF WE DIE? WHAT IF I LOSE MY PRECIOUS LIFE?! IM 18 I CANT DIE YET  NOOOOO *grabs Haseul and tugs her back and forth*

Haseul: *Struggles to get Heejin"s arm off her* STOP YOU CRAZY BTCH

Hyunjin: DONT CALL HER "BTCH", BTCH!

Heejin: OH NOO WE HAVE TO GO BACK

Haseul: *Manages to get her off* -Hold her!

*Hyunjin and Yves grabs Heejin and pins her to a wall*

Heejin: HASEUL! HASEUL I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH, WE CANT DIE HASEUL NOOOO

Haseul: NO ONE IS DYING OR SEUNGMI IS GOING TO LOSE HER JOB!

Seungmi: Thanks for reminding, I really need this-

HEEJIN: OLIVIA IM SORRY!

Yves: *struggling to pin her down* Hurry up, do something!

Haseul: I DONT KNOW! What are we going to do!-

*Chuu hugs Heejin, Heejin stops squirming*

*Yves and Hyunjin carefully lets her go*

*Chuu lets Heejin go and holds her by the shoulders*

Chuu: How are you feeling?

Heejin: Im... fine. Thanks

Chuu: No problem, honey :>

Haseul:  ...What did you do?

Chuu: I gave her a hug. It looked like she needed one

Seungmi: Well good job, you've got her calm now

Chuu: I did it incase we die today. Anyways, lets go! *whistles her way to the front door*

*The rest are silent*

Heejin: Thats not very comforting at all

///

Yves, holding the door handle: It wont buldge!

Haseul: Well, how else are we going to enter?

Yves: Quick, find something that could help with prop this open

*The group looks around for something useful*

Haseul: I found a crowbar

Yves: Hand it over. Hyunjin, help me open the door

*Haseul gives the crowbar to Yves, and inserts it by the door lock*

Hyunjin: *Helping Yves prop the door open* What's wrong with this?

*Both struggled, and eventually stops*

Yves: The lock is busted, we cant go inside this way

*The group gives dissapointed looks to each other*

Chuu: ...Any ideas, Seungmi?

Seungmi: Is the door really busted?

Hyunjin: Try it for yourself, even a key wont open it

Yves: Why do you ask?

Seungmi: I have an idea, follow me 

*Seungmi walks silently, the rest follows*

*The group walked around the building*

Seungmi: Remember when Yves dropped the apple in her mv?

Heejin: The stairway?

Seungmi: Thats right. Lets see if gate is open

*Seungmi approaches a metal fence with a gate. Inside the fence is the stairway and a door to the building beside it*

Seungmi: Padlocked. You guys still have crowbar?

Hyunjin: Here *hands over crowbar*

Seungmi: *Grabs crowbar* Thanks

Hyunjin: *Snickers* try not to hurt yourself!-

*Seungmi swings the the crowbar, and the padlock breaks*

*The group cheers*

Hyunjin: Oh- Oh wow! Nice work!

Haseul: You looked good! 

Seungmi: *Giggles* Even I dont know my own strength *flexes playfully*

*The groups laughs altogether*

Haseul: Alright, alright. Lets get inside

*One by one, the members enter the place, while Seungmi holds the gate open*

Yves, to Seungmi: You'v eeot to stop being cute, I just might fall in love with you-

*Chuu pushes Yves forward*

Seungmi: *Giggles* I wouldnt want to interfere with your relationship with Jiwoo

Yves: Oh, dont mind her shes fine with it, right Jiwoo?

Chuu: I hate you! *crosses arms and pouts cutely*

Yves: *Pinches her cheek* Oh I wouldnt replace you, my cutie-

*Haseul opens the door, and everyone stops talking*

Seungmi: ...What... is that?

Haseul: *Bends over and swiped whats on the floor* ...It looks like ink. Octopus ink?

Hyunjin, standing by the door frame: The ink is everywhere. The place looks dark, but with the ink it looks... Well, darker

Heejin: Do we have to step inside with all that ink on the floor? but I wore my favorite boots today

*The group looks around for something*

Chuu: Oh- look! Over there!

*Chuu points over something, the rest looks over*

*Yves walks closer to where Chuu pointed at*

Yves: Construction boots. Why are they all here?

Heejin: Maybe they were drying them out. But leaving them, I dont know and I dont care. Give me one *walks closer*

Haseul: Everyone needs a pair, Jin. How many are there, Sooyoung?

Yves: *Counts the number of pairs* 6 pairs. One for each-

*The group scurries to get a pair*

Yves: -Of us. 

Chuu: Here honey, *Shows out a pair of boots* These are about your size

Yves: Thanks *Takes the pair*

*Everyone wears their pair of boots*

Hyunjin: Ugh, its still wet. Why is it still wet?

*The group enters the building, led by Haseul*

Haseul: The building... Its covered in it

Heejin: I dont think we can read any of those symbols we took here

*Yves bends over and swipes the ink too*

Yves: It seems the same

*Everyone looks at Yves*

Hyunjin: What's the same?

Yves: When Yerim got... well, you know, Lip found something while she was cleaning the bathroom where it happened. She told me there was a liquid of some kind on the walls and floor that was color black. She suspected it was ink... And I suspect that this was the same ink

Hyunjin: So what- Olivia just carries a bunch of ink with her?

Seungmi: Atleast were getting closer to our goal

Heejin: And what goal would that be?

Seungmi: To find Olivia, and bring her back ofcourse

Hyunjin: Not if she shts a bunch of ink

Haseul: Even if she does "shts" a bunch of ink, how could she fill the whole place? And if she bought, how could she afford it?

Chuu: ...Maybe she didnt buy the ink

Hyunjin: Are you saying that she... produced all this?

Chuu: Im only making up assumptions, but will all this evidence... I dont know. 

Heejin: Then we assume that she did produce this. But where does this all start?

Haseul: This is the part where we split up

*The rest disagrees*

Heejin: We've watched enough horror movies Haseul, It just doesnt work

Hyunjin: Especially that 12 am Ghost Documentary

Haseul: We have to. Lets do this *pulls out phone*, If you find something wrong, call the group chat and we go back. Clear?

*The rest shrugs but agrees*

Haseul: Good. Heejin and Yves, you go this way *points to the left corridor*, Hyunjin and Chuu goes this way, *points to the machinery room* then Seungmi and I will go to the main hall

Hyunjin: Why did you have to part the couples?

Haseul: Because the last time we split up, SOMEONE made out with their partner

Hyunjin: *Stops talking and blushes*

Heejin: *Face turns red* I told you, Seul! It was an accident...

Haseul: Accident or not, we're not letting that happen again. Especially not now, given our circumstances... *looks around the place*

Heejin: Well, lets get moving. I want to leave already

Haseul: You could stay behind, Jin. We cant really help if you freak out again

Heejin: No, Ill be fine, trust me!

Yves: I think its for the best that we stay here. Someone needs to keep the door on watch

Hyunjin: And their assigned room? Who's going in there?

Haseul: Lets go altogether later. Sooyoung, call the groupchat if you find something wrong. Everyone must come back if Sooyoung calls, got it?

*Everyone nods*

Haseul: Alright, move out

*Haseul walks first*

Hyunjin: She talks like a true leader

Seungmi: Yeah... She sounds amazing *smiles and walks along with Haseul*

//

*Two girls walk along the machinery room with lights on their phones on to serve as a flashlight through the dark building*

Chuu: This place is amazing! Look at all these machines! But all in black! *giggles*

Hyunjin: Gee, you really are an optimist *weak laugh*

Chuu: Arent you excited? We're about to meet Olivia! Lets go! *skips her way, splashing ink everywhere*

Hyunjin: *Blocks ink with her arm* Gosh, stop already! *Wipes off ink from her arm with a napkin* Why did I have to be paired with you...

*Both stops moving*

Chuu: Why not? 

Hyunjin: Because you annoy me, and I hate your voice

Chuu: Well, you annoy me too *shoulders high, hands in her pockets and smirks*

Hyunjin: *Giggles and smiles* When do I annoy you?

Chuu: Everyday actually. You constantly insult someone and whine about everything

Hyunjin: I do what I want, alright? 

Chuu: Well, you shouldnt

Hyunjin: And why not?

Chuu: Or everyone would hate you

Hyunjin: Why whould they?

Chuu: Its pretty disrespectful actually. I annoy people, but I dont insult them or anything. Why do you want to be hated?

Hyunjin: I dont want to be hated!

Chuu: Then why do you give us a hard time, Hyunjin?

Hyunjin: Its... its none of your business, keep moving 

*Hyunjin walks foward, leaving Chuu. Her face seems gloomy*

Chuu: Hyunjin? You didnt answer my question

Hyunjin: Leave me alone!

Chuu: But Hyunjin, You need to-

Hyunjin: Im not listening!

Chuu: uhmm... Hyunjin?

Hyunjin: WHAT?!

Chuu: ...Look *points at a workbench*

*Hyunjin moves closer to where Chuu is pointing*

Hyunjin: ...A dead cat

Chuu: It was probably sleeping when all this happened

Hyunjin: Well, its not coming back to life. We have to keep moving

Chuu: And leave this cat alone? Cant we bury it?

Hyunjin: We would need to go back just to bury that stupid fcking cat, and Im not buying it. We keep moving *Starts moving*

Chuu: ...*Reaching into her bag* I dont want to leave this poor thing here

Hyunjin: Then what do you suggest, missy?

Chuu: *Takes out a plastic bag*

Hyunjin: Youve got to be fcking kidding

Chuu: *Opens plastic bag* Help me

Hyunjin: What? No! You help yourself!-

Chuu: Jin, just once please!... lay down the saltiness and help me

*Hyunjin gets caught offguard*

Hyunjin: If this is what it takes to stop you from annoying me *walks closer to Chuu*

*Chuu opens the bag, while Hyunjin grabs the cat by the neck. Hyunjin drops the cat inside the bag and Chuu ties it shut*

Hyunjin: Happy?

Chuu: *Smiles* Thank you for helping me

Hyunjin: *Feeling embarassed* I didnt.. I just... ugh, lets keep moving

*As they encounter a dark hallway, Chuu sings a nursery rhyme. Hyunjin is not pleased*

Hyunjin: Cant you stop!?

Chuu: I can, but I intend not to *sings again*

Hyunjin: Youre making me angry!

Chuu: Just what I want

Hyunjin: You want me to be angry?

Chuu: So that I'll find the answer to my question

Hyunjin: What question?

Chuu: ...Whats your purpose?

Hyunjin: Whats my what?

Chuu: Youre purpose. Why do you look for Olivia?

Hyunjin: Maybe because Olivia is part of my damn business?! Shes a group member! And this fcking group member is missing, and causing alot of mayhem

Chuu: You've got to do better than that, Hyunjin

Hyunjin: I told you my purpose, what else do you want?!

Chuu: The truth, Jin

Hyunjin: I AM telling the truth!

Chuu: You dont seem to be. I know youre hiding something

Hyunjin: Well, what do you want to hear?!

Chuu: What you truly feel *moves closer and holds Hyunjin's hand*

*Hyunjin loses her anger and stops talking*

Chuu: I feel sad, because you dont really play your part. You follow the mission group, but I dont really see your sense of why you do all this. Jungeun stayed behind, but you didnt. *giggles* I really thought you'd leave too but you stayed. You try to act tough like her, but I know Kimlip very well, and youre not very different. I know youre scared, and so am I. But we cant get rid of this fear if we do not find the courage to fight against it. I want to help you Hyunjin, I think something's troubling you. Please, tell me...

*Hyunjin tries to look angry, but she feels foolish and looks on the floor*

Hyunjin: *Sighs deeply* ...I feel that we could do more. We really seem to be behind. I dont know where Go Won and Yeojin are, but I think theyre doing even better than us. Im just... Im scared, okay? Im scared... I just want all this to be over, but I cant. We really have to deal with this, whatever it may have been

Chuu: Oh, Hyunjin *hugs Hyunjin tightly*... We'll be fine. We'll get through, we just need to be strong

Hyunjin: Thank you *smiles*, I dont really talk about those things to someone

Chuu: Well, you should. If you bottle up your emotions, like shaking a can of coke, it just explodes! *makes explosion sounds*

Hyunjin: *Laughs*

Chuu: See? So dont be shy, Im here okay?

Hyunjin: Thanks for caring. I really thought everyone hates me now

Chuu: Oh dont get me wrong, I still hate you *laughs*

*both laughs*  

Chuu: Its just that I care for your well being. Dont want to lose another member, to be honest *clenches teeth*

Hyunjin: We wont. And we'll find Olivia, no worries. Just like what you said 

Chuu: Thats the spirit! Now lets get moving, before we go back and report nothing *giggles and starts to walk*

Hyunjin: *Starts to look brighter and follows Chuu*

*After a couple of steps through the hallway*

*Hyunjin stops walking*

Chuu: Whats wrong?

Hyunjin: Look *points at the wall*

*Hyunjin spots a single letter from Go Won's language*

Hyunjin: *takes a handkerchief from her pocket and wipes the ink on the wall* Get the paper and read it

Chuu: *Searching through her bag* Give me a sec...

Hyunjin: *Finishes wiping and places her hands on her hips* There! So, what does it say?

Chuu: Lets see...

//

*Haseul and Seungmi is in the middle of the main hall*

Haseul: This place is actually huge!

Seungmi: And really dark...

Haseul: Its all that ink from who knows where it came from

Seungmi: From Olivia?

Haseul: I dont want to believe it, but I think it really is

*Seungmi approaches the door they were trying to open*

*Seungmi takes a handkerchief from her pocket to hold the door handle and pushes it*

Seungmi: I think we can open this. Quick, give me a hand

*Haseul comes closer to Seungmi*

Haseul: Can I... hold your hand?

Seungmi: *Starts to look flustered* Im- Im sorry?

Haseul: I mean, Ill place my hand over yours. You got a handkerchief, and I dont want to hold the inked door, so...

Seungmi: OH- oh ok Im sorry *awkward laugh*

*Haseul places her hand over Seungmi's. Seungmi starts to blush*

Haseul: You uhmm... you okay?

Seungmi: Oh- uh yeah yeah, just... the place is sealed by the ink, the oxygen is low *weak laugh*

Haseul: I see, then lets open this up already. On my count. 1, 2, 3! 

*both pushes the door open*

*they both struggle*

Haseul: *Struggling to push the door* Just... a little more...

Seungmi: *Giving it all her strength* Almost there....

*The door opens, and both falls. Haseul falls on top of Seungmi*

*Both laughs off their awkward situation*

*Both starts to blush*

Haseul: You're really pretty up close. Your brown hair compliments your green eyes

Seungmi: *Laughs covering * Stop that! *steadily stands up* Youre in a relationship

Haseul: Oh, right *awkward laugh*

*Seungmi shows her hand to Haseul. Haseul holds it and pulls herself up*

Seungmi: *Giggles* Have you forgotten?

Haseul: No, not really. Its hard to forget someone you love

Seungmi: I understand you *pouts*

Haseul: *Laughs* So it seems that Im not the only one thats not very lucky

Seungmi: Arent you lucky?

Haseul: I think I used up all my luck being a part of this group *sits down by the door frame*. I have this some kind of curse, a curse that my members call "Haseul's Curse"

Seungmi: *Laughs* Haseul's curse? *Sits down beside her*

Haseul: Arent you a manager? I thought youd know about these things

Seungmi: I WAS promoted. I worked more on paperwork, then the boss called me in and promoted me to a manager

Haseul: ...Was this the day that we went to the dormitory?

Seungmi: Yeah... Im starting to feel that I didnt really deserve my promotion. They just... well...

*Seungmi starts to gloom. Haseul holds her hand*

Haseul: Its okay. Atleast you get to be with the us, the group

Seungmi: *Curves her lips* Well, being with Loona sounds great. But taking care of you guys *chuckles* I dont know how to handle children

Haseul: *Giggles* You got that right. Its hard to be a leader. I never really was a leader material

Seungmi: Its easier when you work with someone you love

Haseul: ...Gahei?

Seungmi: Uhm... arent you in a relationship?

Haseul: Well... yeah

*Haseul starts to look sad. Seungmi looks concerned*

Seungmi: ...You know, we still have time. Lets sit down, and tell me whats up

*Haseul thinks for a second*

Haseul: I like you, you know. I have a feeling that I can trust you

Seungmi: You can, and I wont tell anyone

Haseul: The members know, because they notice this too. Gahei and I have been distant. We still go out and talk, but lately, we barely do. She'd prefer to stay away than be with me. From time to time, I look back and think what did I do wrong. I try my best  to save our relationship...

Seungmi: ...You know, sometimes people arent just meant to be

Haseul: *Looks at Seungmi* What do you mean?

Seungmi: People think that "This is it. This is the person that Im going to be with forever". If you're meant to be, you'd feel it under your bones. You'd do everything for this person. And you wouldnt need to persuade and beg her to stay with you. The true one will stay, no matter what

Haseul: ...Wow, youre so wise. I wish she was more like you *Looks deeply to Seungmi*

*Seungmi looks back, and smiles at Haseul*

Haseul: Oh- your hand

*Seungmi looks at her hand. Haseul is still holding it*

Haseul: *Lets Seungmi's hand go* I forgot to let it go *awkward laugh*

Seungmi: *Blushes and laughs awkwardly* Its fine, atleast you noticed....

 Haseul: Well, I hope she hasn't found someone to replace me in her life

Seungmi: That would be horrible. Talk it through, and know the truth

Haseul: I wouldnt be surprised if she's sick of me. I am the leader anyways, I bug people from time to time. I dont think anyone likes me that much *pouts at Seungmi cutely*

Seungmi: *Laughs cutely* If its any help, I like you the best in Loona. And I find you pretty, *smile and looks away from Haseul* really pretty...

Haseul: *Smiles and pushes Seungmi lightly* Oh stop that! Youre making me blush *laughs*

Seungmi: Im just telling the truth! 

Haseul: Dont flatter me! *Giggles*

*Both smiles at eachother for a while*

Haseul: Oh uh, I was just wondering if...

Seungmi: If what?

Haseul: Do you... well... Are you single?

Seungmi: *Taken aback* Wh-why do you ask?

*As Haseul was about to answer, their phone vibrates*

*They check their phones*

Haseul: Yves is calling

Seungmi: Somethings up

Haseul: We need to go

*Both stands up from the door frame and runs to Yves's location*

///

Thursday, 5 pm

*Haseul and Seungmi runs to Yves and Heejin*

Haseul: *Stops running and stands in front of Yves* Whats happening?

Yves: Not really something bad, but I thought we should check it out

Haseul: I told you to call if something is wrong...

Yves: I know, I know but I really DO think something is wrong!

Seungmi: Well, lets see it... -wait, wheres Hyunjin and Chuu?

Heejin: You havent seen them on your way?

Haseul: Where could they have gone to?!

*Someone walks from behind them, they all look back*

Hyunjin: Whats wrong?

Heejin: Where were you?! We thought something bad happened to you!

Hyunjin: Arent we here because something bad happened?

Heejin: We did call, but because we thought we should check something out

Chuu: Atleast we found something on our travels

Seungmi: What did you find?

*Hyunjin takes out a piece of paper from her bag*

Hyunjin: We found some lettering of Go Won's language on our way

*Everyone gets interested*

Seungmi: Well, what does it say?

Chuu: Not much really, it says "Stay back" , "Its too strong for me". But the scariest one said "Stay away, Go Won"

*Everyone feels a chill on their spine*

Heejin: I think its better that we start moving

Yves: Yeah, its for the best

*They rush out the building, and eventually settles their movement and follows Yves*

Haseul: "Stay away, Go Won"? Why did she particularly written Go Won?

Heejin: What if- What if Olivia has Go Won?!

Hyunjin: *Wrapping her arms around Heejin's neck* Oh no youre not freaking out again

Heejin: *Grabs Hyunjin's arm and lets it go* Im not going to freak out!

Hyunjin: Just safety precautions, thats all

Haseul: I dont think so. Though I wonder where could they be...

Heejin: Lets hope they're safe

Seungmi: Sooyoung, is it far?

Yves: You see that house? *Points at a house* 

Haseul: What of it?

Yves: I heard something there, something bad

Seungmi: We're not going to die, are we?

Haseul: No one is dying! Now lets get moving and see what Yves called us for

*After a while of walking*

Yves: I think it was over here

*The group sees an alley*

*Hyunjin moves forward and enters the alley*

Hyunjin: *Speed walks back to the group* Oh gosh I shouldnt have comeinthere-

Haseul: *Holding Hyunjin by her shoulders* What did you see?

Hyunjin: *Face starts to get pale* Something I dont wish to see, ever

*The rest starts to come inside one by one*

*Each member expressed her own way of disgust*

*A man is lifeless, lying by the alley. His head is scooped out*

Heejin: *Holding Haseul* WHAT THE FCK IS THAT?!

Haseul: I DONT KNOW! 

Yves: His head... scooped out...

Seungmi: I think Im going to vomit

Chuu: Oh look! *Points at the other side of the wall*

*Everyone looks*

Seungmi: The language!

Hyunjin: Now thats something I'd prefer to see

*Chuu gets her paper and kneels down. Everyone looks at the symbol and paper alternately*

Chuu: She said shes sorry again...

Hyunjin: She's sorry for what? Scooping out this guy's head?

Yves: Why did she even scooped it out?

Heejin: What if she ate his brains?

*Everyone gets disgusted and disagrees*

Haseul: I dont want to think that way

Seungmi: Yeah, lets go before someone else sees us

*They hear someone walking*

Yves: Someones coming

Haseul: Lets go!

*As they were about to run...*

Officer: FREEZE!

*The group stops*

Officer: Hands on your head, kneel down and state your business!

Haseul: Officer! We-

Officer: I said kneel down!

*The group obeys the Officer's command*

Haseul: We were walking out when we saw this person on this alley, we didnt do anything!

Officer: Dont you know that this is now a private police investigation?

Hyunjin: Not really, we said we were just walking and-

*A woman appears*

Jiwon: Whats happening here?

Seungmi: Uhm you are mistaken maam, we didnt do anything

Jiwon: Search them

*3 Officers enters the alley, pulls them up each and brings them outside the alley*

*The 3 officers search them*

Officer 1: *Searching through Chuu's bag* Whats this? *Showing the copy of Go Won's language*

Chuu: My uhh... my secret language! I use it for fun, nothing else *weak laugh*

*The Officer presents the paper to Jiwon*

Jiwon: And it just so happens that the same language you have in your bag are the same symbols in 2 murder cases...

Haseul: 2 murder cases?

Hyunjin: How did you know about the language?

Jiwon: Cuff them

*While being cuffed one by one*

Hyunjin: Here we go again

Haseul: Maam! What do you mean by murder cases?

*As they were cuffed, Yves saw someone exit the vehicle*

Yves: Jinsoul? Jinsoul! Jinsoul, over here! Help!

*The group sees Jinsoul and Vivi, and starts calling their names*

Jinsoul: What are you guys doing here?

Jiwon: You know them?

Vivi: Yes! Theyre our group members!

Jiwon: *Signals the officers to stop and bring them closer*

Haseul: Gahei! Why are you with the police?

Vivi: We were helping them look for Olivia. What were you guys doing? I havent seen you in 3 days!

Jiwon: What were you really doing? And dont try to twist my mind

Heejin: *Sighs* We were trying to look for Olivia too

Jiwon: Gahei, remember what I said to people who interfere with our case?

Seungmi: What? What do you mean?

Vivi: Theyre not trying to interfere, I believe they were trying to help. Right girls?

*The group looks confused*

Vivi: *Signals them to agree with her eyes*

*The group agrees*

Haseul: Yes, uhh we found some information that we think could help

Seungmi: So please, dont bring us to jail

*After a couple of seconds*

Jiwon: Release them

*The group sighs in relief as began to be uncuffed*

Jiwon: *Signals 2 officers* Keep watch of them, Ill be looking into the case. And stop calling me maam

*Jiwon leaves the group*

Jinsoul: Where's Jungeun?

Heejin: You didnt know? she left the group

Jinsoul: *In shock* She left loona?!

Heejin: No no, I meant OUR group. Oh, right it was supposed to be a secret

Vivi: *Looks serious* Whats supposed to be a secret? *Looks at Haseul*

Haseul: Well... *Gives up* We tried to solve our problem with Olivia without telling you guys

Vivi: ...Haseul, a word with me *walks away*

Haseul: *gulps and starts to walk*

Seungmi: *Looks concerned and is about to call Haseul*

Yves: *Stops Seungmi by her shoulder* Let them be. For the meantime, we all have alot to catch up with

//

*On another alley near the murder scene*

Vivi: A mission group? Really?

Haseul: I wanted to invite you, but I didnt want to stress you out...

Vivi: Or you didnt want me in the first place

Haseul: Dont say it that way! I just thought...

Vivi: Thought what?

Haseul: Well... maybe you didnt care?

Vivi: What?!

Haseul: I know, I know Im sorry

Vivi: Can't I take you seriously?!

Haseul: No, of course you can. Thats why I trust you-

Vivi: But not enough to be a part of your little schemes, huh?

Haseul: Well, I didnt want anymore hands because I wanted this to be low profile. Happy now? Is that what you want you hear?

Vivi: You're pissing me off, Seul! We're so deep in trouble right now, but Im arguing here with you!

Haseul: Then stop! What the fck, Gahei?! Stop putting all the blame on me!

Vivi: But I should! Because youre the reason why we're falling apart!

Haseul: Im the reason? Im the reason?! You were the one who kept ignoring me! Whenever I try to talk, you walk away! Why am I the one to blame?!

Vivi: Because you dont see the other side of the story! You only see yours...

*They stopped talking for a couple of seconds*

Haseul: Oh Gahei...

*Hasel trys to hold her hand, but Vivi pulls away*

Vivi: You just cant see it...

Haseul: Cant see what?

Vivi: Why I wanted to break up with you

Haseul: Break up?? Wha-what do you mean?

Vivi: Do you want to know why I dont talk to you anymore?

Haseul: ...So you really do mean to do that

Vivi: Its because you never let me

Haseul: What do you mean, "never let you"?

Vivi: Youve become so busy, you dont have time for me. We barely talk because you do this and that. It feels like youve forgotten me now...

Haseul: You want to bring this up now?! When you just said that you had better things to do?

Vivi: Is there any better time than now?

Haseul: Alright then, we're bringing this up now

Vivi: You dont care anymore. You dont care about me, and our relationship. You see me as a co-worker

Haseul: I do! Isnt that why I try to talk to you? But you never notice me!

Vivi: I do notice you, but its just...

Haseul: Its what? What is it?

Vivi: You wouldnt understand...

Haseul: Atleast tell me!

Vivi:  Youre not you anymore!

*They both become silent*

Haseul: ...Im not who?

Vivi: I loved you for your personality, your good heart and determination for everything. But lately, its like youve become too practical. Like, you manage things around and speak to us like youre the boss. Dont get me wrong, you ARE the leader, but youre my girlfriend, Seul. You talk to me from time to time like Im some worker to you that you could talk to and respect you anytime you want. I missed the old you, when all you cared for is your passion on being an idol, and the passion you show for me.

*Haseul takes a few steps back, and puts her hand on her nape. She tries to think it through, while Vivi waits in sad silence. She notices Haseul's actions and finally breaks the suffocating atmosphere between then*

Vivi: ...You like someone, dont you?

*Haseul seems startled, but does not reply*

Vivi: You're not denying...

Haseul: I... well... *Gulps and controls her breathing* she made me feel comfortable. When you weren't there for me, she sat beside me and listened to my issues. I had heard that she liked me, but I didnt know I'd like her back. It seems like Im cheating to you, and Im sorry if you think that way

Vivi: Is it the manager? *weak laugh* atleast I know you didnt become straight. *Sighs deeply* well, what do you want? What do you want for us?

Haseul: I... I want to fix what the problem that I made. But even if I did, would you still love me the same?

*Vivi thinks for a moment, clearing her thoughts before she answers*

Vivi: I could. But if we were meant to be, like what we told eachother in the past, we wouldnt need to force it. Maybe we should think it through first, and take a break. And during our time away from eachother, maybe we could find the answers to our questions. Im breaking up with you for now, Haseul. And if we were really meant to be, we would be together again. Ill be with the others, we're done here *walks away looking down*

*Haseul was speechless. She looked down and leaned onto a wall, thinking everything through with heavy emotions*

//

*A few members have spoken for some time, while 2jin and Chuu looked over the murder once again, not as terrified as the first time they saw it*

Jinsoul: Black ink?

Yves: Yes. Black octopus ink, just like the one Lip saw in our bathroom. Or atleast thats what I think

Jinsoul: In that building? *points at the old factory*

Yves: Yes! Please dont tell the police, we dont trust them

Jinsoul: We found the address of that factory in another murder case. We havent told them too, so dont worry

Seungmi: But where is Jungeun?

Jinsoul: Like we said, we dont know and I hope we find them. I'll try to call her later, when Vivi gets back

Seungmi: Well, here she is

*Vivi walks closer to the group looking gloomy*

Yves: Everything all right?

Vivi: Yeah, yeah. Just... not in the mood really. Ill head over Jiwon to talk to you guys about anything you found. I hope you be honest to her. Please... *walks away*

*The group seems confused*

Yves: What was that all about?

Jinsoul: I dont know, but where is Haseul?

*Haseul shows up too, looking broken*

Seungmi: Haseul...

Jinsoul: You alright?

*Haseul looks at the group,then shifts her gaze to someone. She walks towards that person and hugs her*

*Jinsoul and Yves looks shocked, while Seungmi, being held by Haseul, wraps her arms around her and makes comforting circles on Haseuls back*

Seungmi: Youre fine, everything will be fine. We're here... Im here...

*Seungmi looks at the two, who tries not to chuckle. Seungmi rolls her eyes and smiles at them, then focuses again on Haseul*

*Yves walks closer to the two*

Yves: Haseul, what happened between you and Gahei?

Haseul: *Lets go of Seungmi and sniffs* She... she broke up with me. Just like that

*the group is speechless. They signal eachother on who will speak up, but then someone does*

Seungmi: Well, I think she'll regret it. You're such a great person, Seul. Maybe you guys had some misunderstanding, but it shouldnt be enough for you to breakup. Think it through and maybe you can still fix things

*Haseul feels comforted, and cries on Seungmi's left shoulder. Looking over her other shouder, she sees the two finally giving up and chuckles of how sweet they've been. Haseul looks in confusion, then looks at Seungmi, who seems to be blushing. Haseul blushes too and pulls away*

Haseul: I think the Chief is calling for us, Im heading over *walks away blushing and arms crossed*

*Seungmi looks at her, then shifts her gaze to the two. The two teases Seungmi*

Seungmi: Come on guys, she needed comfort

Yves: And there you were, speaking your heart out *laughs in awe*

Seungmi: You're embarrassing me!

Jinsoul: Seungmi

*Seungmi seems intimidated at Jinsoul's serious words*

Jinsoul: *Smiles and points at her* You love her, dont you? 

*The two held hands and laughed at the sweetness, while Seungmi looks at her feet, feeling embarrassed*

Yves: *Putting her arm around Seungmi* Oh its fine, Haseul is beautiful and all good traits you could find for a girlfriend. But then, you have to hope she likes you back

*Seungmi's eyes widen*

Jinsoul: But thats why we're all here right? So you can impress her. Just, dont try too hard alright? Haseul doesnt like that. We'll head over to the chief, just come in when your done fantasizing Haseul

*the two laughs again and walks with eachother to the Chief. Seungmi is alone with her thoughts*
