Before The Spring

Chapter 1

The quiet young woman in my dreams, holding hands with her fiancé, but which quickly became a true detective...that was me, Suhyeon.

No one could defy us. Except for one enemy who had been last defeated.

Gangnam - do, South Korea
Eight hours, thirty minutes past meridian.

I'd finished my own job and sat down beside Chen, on the sofa. That sofa faced the window forward. What was amazing, was that tattoo of the nightwing hawk eagle was put on the above section.

Chen touched my lower hair, asked, "Are you hurt?" "No, no."
"Then what was your fear for, Su? The fear simulation?"
Enticed by his soft, empathetic voice, I asked, "Weren't there as many as four simulations?"
One was fear of heights.
Other was the main thing - fear of hurting others by saying a lie.
We had to be truthful. Always.

Suddenly, a sound like something cooking came from behind. Was someone cooking us dinner?
Because it was actual time for dinner.

I looked behind my back and saw my new friend named Miyeon, boiling eggs. "Wanna join me?" She asked gently.
"Sure," Chen asked softly as she stood up. I looked at him. "You've done a job as well..." I whispered, shaking my head with dread.
Chen sat down and sighed.
He took my hand in his and drew me close to him.
"It's fine. I'll cook the entire dinner," Miyeon touched Chen's shoulder, comfortingly.
We both got from the sofa and headed straight to the bedroom. Because we felt tired.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Chen was talking about our future, with me...
That way, my own desire for haute couture emerged.
As a studious and reserved student, I normally had a desire to wear couture clothing. Hence, I choose prom nights to wear my own couture.
I was extremely conscious of my hair, finding myself always in place. Still that quality was in me.

Now we were both detectives, hunting down that Chairman villain was all that mattered.

Chen took me in his arms and felt tears in his eyes. Was he really moved about my desire for couture? Maybe. But somehow his own desire - book reading and making the world a better place...crossed over mine.
