You Said Remember Me

Heechul found himself loudly gulping down his saliva.

"Don't tell me you're defending her because you have a thing for her?" questioned Donghae. "I saw you in front of her doorway that morning."

Heechul shrugged off his hand and turned around to face Donghae, "I'll laugh in your face when you discover that she is innocent."

With that Heechul hurried out of Chief Kang's office then down the hall out the front doors. He stopped in front of his car feeling nervous. What if Victoria got into trouble? What if they brought her to the police station? She...wouldn't...she wouldn't hurt her friends. Heechul looked around then made a call back to his office.

"Could you locate a Victoria Song for me?"

"What was that? Why is he so worked up?" Donghae asked as Heechul walked out of the office.

"What'd you say to him?" questioned Chief Kang.

Donghae turned around to look at the chief, "Did you find anything interesting?"

"No. Heechul already said there was nothing in the photos. Why don't you go out and continue your investigation? Our meeting should end here for today."

"Yes sir!"

After Donghae returned to his desk he stared at his phone as if summoning a call, but no phone calls came. When Sasha had gone out for lunch Donghae finally began pondering about Heechul's words. What if he was right? That Victoria would never hurt a soul. She seemed too quiet and hesitant, but that didn't reason anything out. That was the first time Donghae began wondering if he was doing the right thing by investigating her.

After two hours of waiting restlessly Heechul finally got the reply he had been waiting for.

"Victoria Song is now currently in Seoul. Do you want her phone number or address?"

"Why are you asking that stupid question? Give me both."

After writing down both her number and address Heechul was down the highway and now in Seoul where he was searching frantically for her apartment. When he finally found the apartment house he double checked just to make sure he'd got the right place then got out of his car. No one came to the door after a minute and that was when he realized that no one was home.

"Should I wait? Why isn't she home?" Heechul questioned then kicked the ground.

He paced back and forth for quite some time before finally sitting down on the front doorstep. Two hours passed by before a car entered the driveway. He got up ready to greet her, but found her slightly frowning at him.

"Hi," he nervously greeted, "you may not remember me. I'm Kim Heechul."

"Oh...the man from the funeral." Victoria said.

Heechul had to lower his head to hide his disappointment that she still hadn't remembered him.

"Come in." her voice came after she unlocked the door.

When he walked in he glanced around feeling amazed with the house itself.

"Would you like anything to drink?" Victoria asked. "You can sit down."

"No, I'm good."

Victoria nodded then remained where she was standing beside the couch opposite him.

"Why are you standing? Sit." Heechul said after letting out an awkward laugh.

"Is there a reason why you're here?" questioned Victoria without taking a seat.
