It was late. Luhan glanced at his watch again. It was past midnight.

He glanced up at the ceiling above. Victoria and Seohyun were quite free during the day or rather the mornings, he'd say. Why was that? Luhan couldn't find the answer. They claimed they were reporters, but Luhan hadn't seen them collecting any information or going out for any interviews. It clogged his mind with questions.

"I don't have anything against you staying, but I hope you don't probe into our business."

And what kind of business was that? There was no answer. Luhan finally realized he really knew nothing about Seohyun now. What was she was really doing in Seoul when they graduated from Gwangju? Shouldn't Seohyun have found a job somewhere in Gwanju or at least in a city nearer to Gwangju than somewhere far away from her home like Seoul?

Luhan felt a tad bit more confused now. Victoria had also said she and Seohyun weren't close, but had been put together by work. He didn't know whether he should feel afraid of them or not.

The sound of a key being inserted into the lock made Luhan turn onto his side to fake sleep. When the door opened shortly after he heard Victoria and Seohyun speaking in quiet voices. They passed the living room and disappeared off down the hallway. Luhan found himself listening to the second hand tick in his watch and cautiously turned around to find the light in the hall darken.

So much things were running through his mind now. Why had Seohyun asked for major company owners? Who were those women that broke into Gi Su's place? Where had Victoria and Seohyun been that night? What exactly did they do for a living?

Donghae rolled over in bed, a headache drumming itself into the skull of his head. He moaned painfully putting a hand on his head and opened his head to find himself lying in bed. Questions popped into his mind before he turned his head around. So he really was in his apartment after all.

Plopping over to lie down on his back he glanced around once more before noticing the keys that were sitting on his bedside table. He assumed Siwon must have brought him back since they were together last night. Rubbing his eye he wondered if he'd said anything out of hand or if he'd given his identity away. Yea right, he wouldn't be lying there if he'd blurted that he was the thief Siwon was trying to track down.

He sighed and turned over onto his side again. He didn't want to do anything that day, so he decided on sleeping in a little more. When he shut his eyes someone started knocking on the door. His eyes opened and he groaned annoyed. Donghae continued laying there and tried to sleep again hoping that whoever was there would get the message that he wasn't in and leave. However, the knocker persisted and Donghae felt like he was listening to some kind of wacko music.

Swearing underneath his breath he pulled himself up, his head still throbbing.

"What!" he screamed when he opened the door but quickly fluttered his eyes when he saw Siwon.

Without a word Siwon walked in leaving Donghae lost. Turning around while closing the door Donghae frowned at Siwon's back wondering just what in the world was going on.

"What are you doing? And why are you here?" Donghae questioned.

Siwon sat down on one of the stools and turned to Donghae with crossed arms.

"Did you just wake up?" Siwon asked as if he'd been sitting there the whole morning and hadn't just barged in.

One of Donghae's eyebrows deeply furrowed itself down, "What are you doing here?"
