'Golden Mary'

Part 3

Victoria ran her eyes over his face again. She was definitely sure he was the one who'd grabbed her into the alley earlier in the day. What was he doing here?

The guy below her moaned and Victoria resituated her feet onto his throat before a shadow loomed behind the man whose face she only knew. He didn't seem to be aware. Victoria didn't want to stay in the house any longer, but he'd helped her out just seconds earlier.

Victoria groaned at the voice tugging her from inside and quickly picked up the small knife flinging it at the shadow behind Donghae. The man let out a shout as he flew onto the ground with a loud thump. She let their eyes meet again before and promised she'd remember his face before darting into the kitchen to go out the way she'd come in.

That girl...what was she doing there? Had she seen him come in? He hoped she hadn't. Donghae turned to stare at the guy she'd knocked out earlier and replayed it in his mind how she had punched and kicked the big guy.

"You're not an ordinary one," Donghae muttered to himself before the sirens of police cars echoed outside. "Shit."

He'd lost the precious plate he'd come for after waiting all day just to sneak in through the kitchen window. Now he was forced to leave empty handed because of some strange guys and because of the girl he'd met earlier in the day. Donghae had never felt so upset with himself over a job. Groaning he ran down the stairs and fled out the window.

The skinny boy led Seohyun into a room, shut the door as quietly as possible behind them, and ran toward the window to peer out into the empty yard. Pushing the window up easily he poked his head out before turning back to Seohyun.

"I'll go out first so I can help you when you come down." Luhan instructed.

Seohyun watched as he climbed out onto the rooftop of the porch just a few feet below and turned around. He thrust his long arm up toward her and Seohyun silently snorted before jumping out herself landing with ease on her feet.

"Seo..." he started again.

She ignored him once more and jumped down onto the yard walking toward the brick wall easily hoisting herself over it. His loud footsteps chased after her. While pulling himself up over the wall he wondered how Seohyun did it. She had made it seem as if it'd been a natural ability she'd known ever since birth. Once he landed onto the concrete unsteadily, she was already halfway down the block.

"Seohyun!" he shouted again running after her adjusting his backpack over his shoulder as it bounced off his back.

Why was she running? What had he ever done that had made her so angry? Luhan pushed himself to run faster and finally caught up to her at the end of the block.

"Hey!" he greeted as if they'd always been long time friends, a cheery smile on his face.

Seohyun ignored him and crossed the street at a fast pace.

"I thought you moved away. What are you doing in Seoul?" he prodded on. "Where are you going? What are you doing now? Working? Ah...was that girl before your friend? Do you mind if I stay with you a few days? I'm kind of in a tough spot right now..."

Seohyun paused, pivoted her feet to face him, annoyance and frustration in her eyes and on her face. Luhan stared back at her puzzled.

"Yah...what are you? What the hell were you doing in that house? Aren't you supposed to be abroad?" Seohyun shot her questions back at him.
