-- Magic Performance Hall, Ilsandong-gu, Gyeonggi-do --

Sunmi was seated at one of the round tables and she watched as her boyfriend practiced his dance as the opening act for the Magic Show later. She felt herself being slowly seduced especially when he took off his jacket and did body waves. She drifted into her fantasies and was brought back to reality by the Head of the production company's voice.

"Cut! Okay. Sehun, you did great." He complimented as he walked towards the stage.

"Thank you." Sehun said with a bow as he collected his discarded jacket off the floor and moved to walk off the stage.

"Thank you. All of you did a great job. Recheck the magic props. We'll rehearse in an hour. Move fast." The Head, Chunghan, told one of the staff before walking away.

"Let's run it." The staff called out to everyone before leaving as well. Sunmi stood up from her seat and moved to meet Sehun who just came off stage, handing him a bottle of water.

"So, what did you think?" Sehun asked her with a teasing expression on his face as he drank his water.

"It was okay." Sunmi shyly told him as she used a tissue to wipe the sweat off his face.

"Just okay? Damn. I guess I need to try harder to impress you, huh?" Sehun told her with a teasing smile as he pulled her closer by the waist and kissed her forehead.

"Oppa, you're sweaty!" Sunmi teased him as she jokingly tried to get away from his grip. He just laughed and tightened his hold on her.

"Anyway, why are they so late? Did something happen?" Sehun asked as he wondered where the other detectives were.

"They should be on their way now. I texted them a bit before your rehearsal started." Sunmi said and Sehun was about to reply when the couple heard someone talking in English.

"Look I told you already. I saw him with her. I saw her with him. I saw them together. How many times do I have to tell you this? You're being really stupid." A foreigner, who Sunmi knew as a hypnotist, said to his companion, the magician who would be performing that day, Charming.

"No. I don't believe you, alright? As you know, he and I look similar." Charming defended. Sunmi and Sehun played their cool and started heading towards the table closest to the arguing pair. They were acting as though they weren't listening. Sehun was still drinking water and Sunmi was still wiping sweat off his face and neck.

"But you don't look exactly the same. I can tell you apart. Isn't that why you had me hypnotize him?" The Hypnotist asked.

"No way. I don't believe you, alright. Oh, I see. You're fucking lying to me, right?" Charming slowly started getting angry.

"What the fuck. Is that really what you think? You know what? Let the crazy girl break up with you. It's what you deserve anyways. The only way you're gonna get over her is to get your shit together. And don't ask me for help anymore. Don't even talk to me. I'll fucking kill you." The hypnotist threatened Charming before leaving. Charming started walking away as well and Sehun and Sunmi both stood up in greeting but he was too upset to pay attention to the two.

"Wow. That was intense." Sunmi stated as she watched Charming's back as he was walking away.

"What was that about?" Sehun asked her.

"Something about that other guy seeing a girl with someone else and Charming not believing him. Maybe a girlfriend?" Sunmi asked him and he nodded as he thought about what happened earlier. Sunmi then pulled out her phone and proceeded to play a cooking game. Sehun was soon looking over her shoulder and telling her what to do as she leaned against his chest, his left hand on the backrest of Sunmi's chair which was pushed close together with his.
