Yunho sits down in front of Mingi. Mingi sits at the metal table with his hands cuffed to the table, a dark look in his eyes.

“Sorry it’s taken a bit,” Yunho says casually. “I needed to sort some things out before I came in and questioned you. Now I’m going to ask you some questions, and I need you to answer honestly. Are you part of the cult?”

“Do you really think it was me?” Mingi asks. “You really think that I, your partner, could be involved in these killings? It wasn’t me, Yunho. Please. You have to believe me.”

Yunho keeps his eyes steady on Mingi’s. “In all the years I’ve known you, you’ve never once lied this badly.”

Mingi’s face breaks into a smile. “You’re right. What’s the point in lying now, right? You caught me, Yunho. You arrested the right person. I was running the cult, just as my family has done for years. We were so close to completing our ritual sacrifices so that I could become an angel to be worshipped by all the people, but you’ve ruined it. You’ve fucked it all up.”

“I’m truly sorry to see my coworker, my friend, the one behind all these senseless killings,” Yunho says. “I’m sorry that you are evil, Mingi. I’m sorry you were raised to be evil. This does not excuse your actions, though, and I have faith you will be locked away for the rest of your life.”

Mingi watches Yunho as he stands and moves toward the door. “So long, Mingi.”

Yunho leaves after that, devastated to learn someone he considered a friend was behind the killings, but grateful he trusted his intuition and chose the right person.
