° based on reactions alone, we'll have you vote for who you think the killer might be. votes for sunwoo's suspected killer should be sent ONLY to me, as sunwoo mun does not know who their killer is.
° i will tally the votes and post just like this to tell you who will be eliminated so you all can write how the elimination goes down.
° once the eliminated party makes their exit post, i'll post like this telling you if you got the killer out or not.
° if the killer has NOT been found, you will be given three days to do more investigation before voting again.

pyo waddled into the room moments after the others had already gathered, balancing a tray with a teapot and an exact number of cups for those who’d requested a warm drink to ward off the chill. his usually cheerful demeanor faltered the instant he noticed the grim expressions etched on everyone’s faces. when his gaze finally fell on the source of their distress, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his lips parted as a sharp gasp escaped him. his hands trembled violently, struggling to steady the tray as the delicate clinking of ceramic mingled with the heart-wrenching sobs echoing through the space. the once-cozy atmosphere turned suffocating as dread curled around him. pyo’s gaze darted from one face to another, each glance growing more panicked as suspicion clawed at his mind. what if one of them had done this? the thought left him reeling as his eyes hesitantly returned to the lifeless form of sweet sunwoo, now at the heart of this chilling scene.

Enters in here quite in shock when seeing the body of the so sweet Sunwoo, he feels tears streaming down his face. staring for too long time at his lifeless body until he managed to turn around as he can't keep looking at the body. "This is terrible..." He whispers between his tears, shaking a bit he sits down and looks around quietly.
"He was such a sweet person...who would want to hurt him?" The blonde bit his lips and started to cry again uncontrollably, even when they weren't best friends, Sunwoo was always so nice to everyone and he couldn’t imagine why would someone want to hurt him.

the light-headedness eventually left him. slowly, he stood up, still feeling weak in the knees but at least having the strength to support his weight now.
"who could've done this?" he murmured, his voice carrying in the deafly silence. he slowly moved to the entrance, feet dragging across the floor.
if it had been any of his hyungs, perhaps they would've taken the initiative to approach the body and investigate. unfortunately, he's not that kind of person.
so he kept his distance, staying at the doorway alongside beomgyu as he peered at the bloody mess through the gathering bodies. at least his view of the scene was obscured this way.

Curious to what caught his bandmate’s attention, he tails not far behind Kai to the lounge. Beomgyu can smell the body before he sees it, suddenly overcome with confusion, thinking, ‘that can’t be right? why do i smell blood?’. His limbs turn rigid the closer he gets, his usual spry attitude quickly draining from his body as the gravity of the situation weighs on him: the smell of blood, the sound of vomiting, the exclamations from everyone in the room, the trail of blood on the wall that leads to— someone has been murdered. Beomgyu stands just beyond the doorway peering in, speechless for the first time in his life. He’s too afraid to take another step forward, hugging the doorframe to keep himself from collapsing.

/weakly pushes the bin away, trying to steady my breath/
/blinks away the spottiness in my eyes, already feeling faint in the head/
i'm just gonna- /tries to stand up only to collapse unceremoniously, feeling too light-headed/ never mind, i'm lying down-
/leans against the wall, watching the scene around me blearily/
i need a moment /words slurring a bit, closing my eyes as i catch my breath/

Kai had just grabbed himself another cup of apple cider when he heard the commotion in the lounge. Thinking there was something fun going on, he pardoned himself from his friends and stepped into the scene while sipping from his cup. He glanced at Mingyu and Jisung first, his eyes landing on Sunwoo’s body. Shock slowly melts onto his features, the grip on his cup loosening and clattering onto the floor as he gaped at the crime scene before him. His face was slowly losing color, the food he had eaten suddenly less content in his stomach.

woah, jisung! did you drink too much—?
the chuckle quickly died down in his throat as he freezes in the spot. blood going cold at the sight. in some wicked way he hopes this is a prank, but when the smell of the blood hits him reality does also. and he has to breathe in and out to not pass out.
what the…
he takes a few steps closer, wincing at the clean cut to sunwoo’s neck.
this is crazy. some actual psycho is in here.

/covers my mouth in shock, eyes unable to move away from the dead body/
oh my god- /feels a wave of nausea taking over and *finally* turns away, finding the nearest bin to empty the content from earlier’s dinner/
this is- /wheezes, eyes stinging and throat burning/ who would do this?

A fire roared in the main lounge of the building — which was just off of the dining room where the party was — while space heaters sat in wait in other smaller lounges just in case the power went out and the building's main heat cut off. Wooyoung, the other host of the party, had been missing from the dining hall for a while, which is why Sunwoo had excused himself from the party. However, now *he* had been missing far too long to be considered just a checkup on a friend with a tacked on bathroom break.

Just off the dining room, the main lounging area, with the fireplace, housed a second, more gruesome and just as grotesque scene as the one Wooyoung would be found in. It was a mess right in front of the fireplace where Sunwoo's body was. He was propped up against it away from the fire, as if he had slid down it in pain, maybe he had been sat down by someone trying to help the bleeding, or maybe he was just staged. Smeared, partial handprints littered the stone wall, a spot on the floor next to him, his arms, the mantle, perhaps as if the victim had been reaching for something, anything, to help himself given the fact both of his hands were covered in blood as well. But the clean slice across his neck was no match for some simple added pressure. It soaked through his shirt, even into the rug.

It was clear by the cut that it was someone else's doing, and it was clearer by the katana stand on the mantle missing its katana, that that someone else was still among them, trying to get away with it.
