You Said Remember Me

When Victoria looked at the person before her she felt embarrassment and shock run through her, but felt more embarrassed. Taking a step back she stared at him panting heavily. It had felt like she'd just run the mile.

"Why are you here?" she suddenly asked.

"I should be asking you," he replied.

Victoria turned around to look behind her and found no one or nothing there. She turned back to Donghae pressing her lips tightly together.

Minutes later Victoria found herself sitting inside a café with a warm cup of mocha in front of her which she found gladly warmed her up and calmed her nerves. She'd refused to speak to him about what had happened or why she'd been at the cemetery in the first place.

"Ok, fine don't say anything," he finally said. "But I'm curious about why you acted like you were being terrorized back there."

Victoria lightly bit her tongue focusing her eyes on the golden framed doors, "It's not your business. If you're here to ask about where I was the day before Il Chung and Sandy's deaths, then I don't think you should be sitting here."

He smiled at her, "Well, I really don't see what's wrong with following my suspect around."

Victoria couldn't help but want to send a glare at him, "I find it that you're just trying to waste my time here." Victoria got up from the table and couldn't help but ask, "You're paying, am I correct?"

Victoria stepped out the doors and was on her way back to Seoul wondering if there was a way she could conceal herself away from everyone.

After paying he stepped out of the café to watch her car leave the lot then glanced at his watch.

After dialing Eunhyuk's number Donghae said, "Hyukie, I guess I can't go check up on your little sister tonight. I'm still in Incheon right now, do you want to go out for a drink?"

Eunhyuk met up with Donghae at one of those side stalls on the streets after 15 minutes.

"You finally made some time for me," Eunhyuk greeted sitting down.

"I'm sad."

"Why?"

"I can't play with you anymore."

Eunhyuk laughed, "Oh, I thought you were really sad."

"No reason to be sad."

"How's your case coming along? I read about a homicide in the newspaper."

"No luck."

"Haven't you always been lucky?"

"Yea, I have to agree I've always been lucky."

"I can't believe you're admitting it yourself."

"Why what's wrong with being like this?"

"It tells me your mentality is still stable."

Donghae let out a small laugh.

"You were upset the other day." Eunhyuk said then watched as Donghae drunk down a shot of the soju. "Because Hee Sun mentioned the summer house. You know, if you're clearly upset you should just tell her straight out you don't like the mention of that city. We're not strangers to each other."

"I know."

"I have two things left to ask you."

Donghae waited for Eunhyuk to go on.

"Who's that girl you keep ditching us for?"

"A psychology professor, the suspect we have listed for the homicide."
