The rest of the day passed by in a blur. Fortunately for the police, the gardener and matron confessed to the crimes and even told them where Wonho’s body was hidden. Their testimonies were enough to convict Aera for her crimes. Soobin also recorded her statement about the tattoo. Moreover, the CCTV cameras installed throughout the orphanage were discovered and extracted from their hiding places. Although the footage of the murder was deleted, there was still plenty of evidence for the police.

The CSI dug up Wonho’s body and sent it for autopsy. It was the final nail in the coffin

Haeji was being treated at the hospital where Minki was watching over her. Jiwoon was also sent there. Since she sustained a minor head injury, the doctors will keep her at the hospital overnight.

Aera’s husband and father-in-law were distraught by her betrayal. Namgoong was cursing his worthless son for marrying such a wench and screamed at him at the police station.

Jina worked until almost midnight on the case and she was feeling very tired. The past few days had been very hectic for her and even though the killer was caught, she still had tons of work to do.

“Boss.”

Chanmi was worried about Jina who was sleep deprived. “You should go home tonight,” she suggested. “I’m on night duty today. I can handle the paperwork.”

“There’s just a little bit left,” Jina said with a yawn but Chanmi shook her head.

“Please, go home,” she said. “The Chief heard about our secret operation and was furious. You need strength to face him tomorrow. If you’re well rested, then you’ll be able to tolerate his nonsense. Please, go home.”

Jina sighed. Chanmi was right; she needed strength to face Taejoon tomorrow. Also, there was a certain demon she must face.

She packed up her things and bid Chanmi goodbye before slouching out of the precinct. Yawning loudly, she was heading towards her car when she saw two familiar figures standing there.

“Isn’t it past your bedtime?” she asked her twin brothers.

“We were concerned for our sister!” Minyoon claimed. 

“Thought you might need this as well,” Yoonmin added, throwing a can of coffee at his sister who caught it with one hand.

“I do,” she agreed and opened the can. 

“Gimme your keys,” Yoonmin said. “I’ll drive.”

“No,” Jina said flatly. “You’re underage.”

“It’s fine as long as there’s a trained driver sitting next to me,” Yoonmin pointed out. Besides, you’re too sleepy to drive.”

“And how will you two go back home?” Jina frowned.

“Minyoon’s trailer will follow us to your place and then take the two of us home,” Yoonmin said, pointing at the trailer behind them. Jina debated for a while before handing him her car keys.

“Don’t you dare cross the speed limit!” she warned him. Yoonmin scoffed and all of them entered the car. He revved up the engine and drove off.

“Sis, by the way,” Minyoon said, leaning forward from the backseat. “It’s summer. Miyoo is gonna come back for her vacation.”

“Yes, mom told me this morning when she called,” Jina yawned. “Aunt and uncle will be away this year for an important trip so they won’t be able to look after Miyoo. So she’ll be staying with me until they come back.”

“We can look after her!” Minyoon said at once.

“Yes, we can handle her,” Yoonmin agreed but Jina shook her head.

“The last time you two babysat her, you scared one of her playmates so much that he is traumatized till this day!” she scolded them.

“He claimed that he’s gonna marry Miyoo when they grow up!” Minyoon said, outraged at the memory. 

“Even gave her a plastic ring!” Yoonmin scowled. “So we had the big brother talk with the kid. We didn’t scare him but merely threatened him.”

“He was four years old!” Jina snapped. “I made at least ten such fiances at that age!”

“Yeah and none of them know you now,” Yoonmin muttered. Jina playfully slapped his head.

“Drive!” she glowered. He stepped on the pedal, driving smoothly through the streets until he pulled up in front of Jina’s apartment. Yoonmin parked at the designated spot.

“Go home safely,” she said. “Don’t stay up too late.”

“Yes sis!” the twins said in unison. They got out of the car and hugged their sister.

“Remember, Miyoo is arriving tomorrow morning,” she told them. “She’ll be accompanied by grandpa.”

“Grandpa is coming?” 

An evil gleam sparked in the twins’ eyes. “Excellent,” they grinned. “Our bank is arriving!”

Jina shook her head. The twins had a bet with their grandfather. Everytime their grandfather misidentified them, the old man was forced to hand over 10 dollars each to the evil duo. Jina was pretty sure that by now, the twins had accumulated half their income from their grandfather.

“He’ll be living with you two so don’t bother him too much!” she warned them. “Tell the chauffeur to drop Miyoo off to my apartment in the morning. My landlady really loves her and she even offered to babysit Miyoo for me. And you two better behave with grandpa!”

“We’re really well behaved!” Minyoon claimed, pretending to be hurt. “Don’t you trust us, sis?”

“Have you ever seen me tormenting anyone?” Yoonmin questioned her. Jina ruffled both of their hair.

“Go home safely, okay?” she said. “Good night.”

The twins muttered goodnight to her and headed for the trailer which tailed them. Jina sighed and waved them farewell before turning around to enter the building. She did not waste any more time and went straight towards Hobin’s apartment, ringing his doorbell.

Hobin immediately opened the door as if he was expecting her.

“Follow me,” Jina said. “We need to talk.”

He shrugged and followed her to a staircase which led upstairs to the roof. Jina opened the metal door with a heavy push and the two of them stepped into the cool night breeze. 

Jina was not facing him but sighed out loud. It was still hard for her to believe that there was someone else in the world who also possessed a strange ability. She never came across another person with special powers so it was a relief to find a kin.

Even if it was Doctor Demon.

“Tell me everything about your powers,” she finally said. Slowly turning around, she faced him, feeling resolute. “Everything.”
