For a long time it really felt like she was still his. When he let go and opened his eyes he heard their hearts racing in unison. He'd done it, he'd really done it. If he stayed longer, he might regret it.

"I'm going to go now."

And he caught the last of her eyes before he disappeared.

After a really short shower Namjoo stared at her reflection still unable to process what had happened earlier. Almost hesitantly she reached her fingers up to touch her lips.

This was bad. Very bad. In such a short amount of time it felt like Luhan had all of her in his hands. How was it possible to feel so deeply connected when she barely knew him? What would this make Chanyeol? How could it be that she felt as close to Luhan as she did to Chanyeol...maybe even closer? What was it about Luhan that she knew, but couldn't form into thoughts or words? Just who was he?

"Hungry?" Chorong asked when she walked into the kitchen.

Namjoo glanced at the various foods her sisters had decked the kitchen table with. "What are we...having a party or something?"

"Well since it's Sunday and we probably won't be having time to eat like this," Victoria said from the counter where she was pouring water into glass cups.

Namjoo raised a brow before sitting down. "You two in a good mood or something?"

"Of course we are," Chorong patted her head while walking by to which Namjoo swatted her hand away a second too late. "You're here, we're here, so lets just enjoy the meal."

Namjoo turned to frown at her sisters. "Is this something about Officer Park?"

"Oh him," Chorong said as if it wasn't important before she came to sit at the table, "we made a deal with him. The one he talked to Victoria about. It's not too bad, but we have to be cautious about helping him out. He wants a box to unleash his powers, right Victoria?"

"Yep."

"What are you still doing? I'm starving, lets eat," Chorong called.

Namjoo watched her perky sisters. "So that's it?"

"We're coming up with a Plan B, in case he betrays us," Chorong informed. "Oh and we ran into Mr. Crime Investigator at the police department."

"Oh..." Namjoo shot Victoria a quick glance. "Didn't he come with you two to pick me up?"

Chorong nodded with which Namjoo gave another "Oh."

"And Victoria still has to thank him for helping us track you down," Chorong eyed Victoria as she came over to sit.

"Maybe next time."

"You mean never." Chorong corrected.

Victoria shot her a look. "Where's Luhan?"

"He went."

"Already? Well...I guess that was expected."

Namjoo glanced at them. "You two are being weird." Namjoo glanced at them. "Is something up?"

"Nothing," Victoria said.

Namjoo continued frowning at them before suspiciously eating. "You do something to the food? Like put some gas pills in there or something?"

Chorong laughed before patting her back, "No. We're just happy you're ok. Our little troublemaker, what would we do without you?"

Namjoo shrugged Chorong's hand off her shoulder, "Stop it. That's weird."
