'Golden Mary'

Part 39

\ \ \ \ \

"The 'Golden Mary', you say?" Siwon repeated.

Seohyun placed a plate of breakfast in front of him with a nod of her head.

"Someone has it, I'm sure of it," Seohyun said.

After a painful ordeal of sitting through silence Siwon had finally managed to recollect his thoughts.

"I can't say for sure until I straighten things out with everyone," Seohyun explained. "I need to meet with Victoria and we'll have to find Luhan afterward. I found out some disturbing things related to him. I'll share the information with you after I sort things out."

Siwon reluctantly nodded. "Aren't you going to eat too?"

"I'm not hungry yet."

"You shouldn't skip breakfast."

"I'll eat after you leave, don't worry." Seohyun smiled.

Giving in Siwon finished his plate after a few minutes.

"Could you...do me a favor?" Seohyun asked walking him to the door.

Siwon nodded.

"I know you aren't supposed to use headquarter data for anything, but if possible, could you check to see if Noh Ki Young has purchased any land in Jeju?"

"Noh Ki Young?" Siwon repeated.

"Yes, the president of Samsung Group," Seohyun nodded. "I'd appreciate it if you could get the information to me as soon as possible."

He smiled at her. "No matter what, I do believe in you, Seohyun. After this, lets talk about us."

Siwon leaned to the side and gave her a peck on the cheek before leaving.

First thing came first, before he could turn in for work with an excuse for disappearing on the group last night he needed to see Donghae.

After parking outside and making his way in he found himself standing in front of Donghae's apartment. The feelings of nervousness and uncertainty forced him to hesitate before ringing the bell. After a tiring night of obtaining information he'd never thought possible and discovering Donghae and Victoria in Yun Man's manor made his mind swirl right that moment. How was he going to face Donghae, who he knew nothing about? Seeing him would be quite different in comparison to Seohyun because his relationships with either of them were on different levels.

It hurt somewhat to realize the fact that he didn't really know anyone at all. Even Seohyun's rank in the bureau was higher than his. There was so much about her he didn't understand. Would it be the same with Donghae?

A heavy sigh of worry dropped from his lips after he rang the bell. Donghae answered the door bravely a second later as if he'd been expecting a visit from the cops. Perhaps he thought Siwon had come from the police station.

Their eyes met without question. Donghae's eyes were of confidence, Siwon's worry. He was let in and the door quickly shut behind him before Donghae came to stand in front of him.

"I believe that you must be confused," Donghae said with a brave face. "I'm not going to defend myself. Lets clear one thing out first. Victoria has nothing to do with this. Where she found me was just pure coincidence last night. It was I who broke into Yun Man's."

Siwon swore he was getting a migraine from all of this nonsense. He didn't know what to say anymore.

"I'm not a cop," Donghae admitted, "the man in the sketch; the sketch that you carry around, the thief you're looking so hard for is none other than me."
