episode. twelve the one they pulled from the river
"i would go through all this pain take a bullet straight through my brain" ▬ bruno mars
THE SUN HADN'T FULLY risen yet just a soft orange glow melting through the gray clouds
the river was still
silent
mist hovered low over the surface curling around the edges of the bridge like ghostly fingers
an old man in worn boots and a frayed fishing hat hummed to himself as he set up his line
it was his favorite spot quiet, undisturbed
but this morning felt different
as he stepped closer to the edge something caught his eye
a flash of pale skin
a shoe tangled in reeds
then-
a body
floating gently near the shallow edge
still
unmoving
his heart jumped into his throat
"oh my god hello yes yes I need an ambulance now there's a girl a body in the river please- please hurry!" he whispered nearly stumbling backward as he dropped his fishing rod
his fingers trembled reaching for his phone
the sirens came fast
across the city sieun and suho walked quietly down the sidewalk both in their uniforms
the silence between them was different now unspoken worry hanging like a cloud
"I'm checking the old record store after school I know it's a long shot but she mentioned it once" suho said breaking the silence
