~ The next week ~

Y/n's POV:

I had arrived at work earlier than usual. Since that day I arrested Felix, he escaped that night. It was driving me crazy that the security camera footage just looped. I had been spending this past week figuring out what I was missing. One of the cops said that Minho went into the room with him and then Felix disappeared, and Minho didn't come out. That next day I asked him what happened, and he told me he went home right after finishing the paperwork and was nowhere near Felix's cell. Someone was lying to me, and I was going to figure out who even if it killed me. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard running and then saw Minho at my door. I looked up at him confused. "Wow you're running. Something must have happened." I said to him. He nods his head. "I just got word from one of my buddies back in Busan that there's this mafia gala happening in three weeks. Apparently, Stray Kids are going to be there. I talked with them, and they got our names onto the guest list. It's the perfect time for us to find anything on them." Minho explains. Huh, that's great. "What's the dress code for it?" I ask Minho. "Formal. It's a gala. Do keep your guard up because apparently this isn't like what they normally do. I don't even want to know what that means." He tells me. I sigh. Knowing that Stray Kids is going to be there means that my brother is also going to be there, and I don't know how I am going to react to that. I guess Minho picked up on it because he put his hand on my shoulder. "You'll be okay Y/n. I'll be with you the whole time." He assures me. I sigh. "This is going to be difficult for sure. First, I had to arrest my brother and now I have to go to an event which is technically in his domain. I don't know how I'm going to survive through this Minho." I say as I start to tear up. Minho pulls me up from my chair and pulls me into a tight hug. "Remember, not matter what happens I will always be there for you." He says. I felt like that had a double meaning, but I wasn't worried about it. I pull away from the hug and wipe my tears away. "I still need to get a dress for the event. Do you want to go with me after work to find one? I would ask my friend, but she's been super busy lately." He looks at me surprised. "You want me to go with you?" He asked me. "Yeah, why not? You've been a really good friend to me during all of this. Besides I hate looking for dresses anyways. Maybe you can help me pick one out. Plus, you have good taste in fashion." I say. He sighs. "Fine but I got to let my friends know." "You have friends?" I say with a smirk on my face. We both start laughing. "Let's just finish the day and then we'll go. I'll follow you in my car so that way I don't leave it here." I nod my head.

Minho's POV:

"It's finally the end of the day. I swear, if I have to look at another crime scene photo from Stray Kids, I am going to lose my mind." I hear Y/n say, exhausted. I laugh at her. "Come on slow poke, we got to go to the mall now." I remind her. When she hears that I see her perk up. "Oh yes let's go!" Y/n runs out to her car, and I walk behind her. I see Captain Jeon look at me and nod. If only Y/n knew how many people she actually knew was not who they said they were. I felt bad. This police department was so corrupt and being run by different gangs. I sigh and go to my car seeing Y/n waiting by hers. "You ready?" She asks. "Always am. Let's go." I respond. We get in our cars and head to the mall that's about 30 minutes away. While in the car I call Seungmin. "What's up Minho? Are you heading back to base?" I hear him ask me. "Nope, there's been a slight change in plans. Y/n asked me to go dress shopping for the gala and I agreed." I tell him. We hit a red light and I drummed my fingers on the steering wheel. "Okay, just keep us updated in case something happens." I hum at that. "And Minho?" Seungmin says. "Yeah?" I respond. "Remember that dress Felix saw the other day that he said it reminded him of his sister?" He asks. "Yeah, that red one." I return. "Have her try it on. Make up something but have her try it on and take a picture of her in it. I'm sure Felix would love to see her in it. Send it to him." Seungmin says. "Got it. We just arrived; I'll see you guys later." I tell him before hanging up. I park my car right next to Y/n's and get out. "Do you know any good stores here? I don't usually go to the mall for clothes, let alone dresses." Y/n tells me. "Yeah, I do. Let's go." I say before dragging her over to the shop that Seungmin, Felix and I had gone to last week. I see Y/n look at some of the dresses but when she looked at the price tag she sighed and walked over to me. "I can't afford these Minho, let's go to Macy's or something." She says. I shake my head. Don't worry about it, I'll get the dress you really like." I tell her. She tries to say something, but I cut her off. "Nope. No arguing I'll get it. Now grab a few dresses you like and go try them on." I see Y/n sigh in defeat. She grabs dresses in different colors and different styles. I look at the dress that Felix had showed up and pointed it out to Y/n. "You should try this one on Y/n. I think you will look amazing in it." She looks at the dress and nods her head. She grabs it in her size, and we walk over to the fitting rooms. "I'll sit out here so you can show me the dresses. I want to see them all!" I tell her in a fake high-pitched voice and Y/n started laughing. "Okay, okay." She shakes her head and heads into the fitting room. I saw something from the corner of my eye. It was one of the workers staring at me. Stray Kids owned this mall so it's not uncommon to see us here, but I guess the worker was shocked to see a woman with one of us. I looked over at her with my eyebrows raised and shook my head signaling that she can't say anything. Not even a minute later I hear the door to Y/n's fitting room open. When she comes out, I see her in a stunning two-piece yellow dress. "What do you think?" She asks me. I look over it. "It's a very nice dress and I think it suits you, but I don't know if it would be right for the event." I tell her honestly. She goes back in, tries on another dress, and shows me. I see dresses of all different colors. Blue, green, purple and even brown. This continues for a little bit. "Okay this is the last dress Minho." I hear her say. "Well then show me it! It's already 6 pm!" I tell her. I grab my phone and pretend that I am playing on it but I have my camera opened and switched so it faces her. I know the last dress that she is trying on is the red one. I watch as Y/n comes out of the fitting room and stands by the door. I take a photo of her in the dress quick and then put my phone down. "Woah, you look amazing Y/n." I tell her. "Thanks. I actually really like this one. You were right." Y/n mentions. "Then let's get this one. Go change back into your clothes so we can go pay." I tell her. She heads back into the fitting room one last time and I grab my phone. I send the picture to Felix, and he calls me. "How did you get her in the dress?" He asks me right away after I answer. "Relax. I can't say much because I am with her, but boss said to have her try it on. We knew how much you wanted to see her in it, and he told me to make sure she tried it on." I tell him. "Thank you." I hear Felix say. "It's no big deal. Now I got to go but I'll see you later." I say before hanging up the phone. I watch Y/n come out of the fitting room and walk over to me. "Who were you talking to?" She asked. "One of my friends. Wanted to know if I was free to hang out in a little." I lied. She nodded her head, and we head to the check out. I paid for her dress, and we head to our cars. "I'll see you tomorrow Y/n. Have a good night." I say before watching her get into her car and leave. I sigh. This is going to be an interesting time.
