SEOJOON'S POV
We are back at Seoul, Yeri is back at school trying to catch up with the rest of her classmates. And I am currently trying to locate Park Junghwang.

Somehow, it feels like we move on a bit, but later we step back again. This is frustrating... Frustrating and tiring, I don't know how many time will I be able to keep this case secret from my hyung.

-Jaemin: Aren't you way too focused lately?
-Seojoon: Oh Jaemin! How long have you been here?
-Jaemin: It's been quite long already, but you didn't seem to notice my presence...
-Seojoon: I see... I'm sorry, I'm really busy... (chuckles)
-Jaemin: Yeah, you are trying hard to find that Park Junghwang... Who is him? (smiles)

-Seojoon: No one important

-Seojoon: No one important... Don't worry...
-Jaemin: I think it would be easier if you just asked Namjoon hyung for help, he's really good...
-Seojoon: Not necessary, I don't have more excuses...
-Jaemin: Excuses? (confused)
-Seojoon: Ah, it's nothing... Forget about what I just said (giggles)
-Jaemin: (looks at the pic of the man) Ah!
-Seojoon: W-What happens?!
-Jaemin: I know him!
-Seojoon: You do?!
-Jaemin: (nods) Yeah, he's my ex girlfriend's dad (smiles)
-Seojoon: Why didn't you tell me before?! You know where is him?!
-Jaemin: Yeah, I know... (smiles)
-Seojoon: Would you help me then?!
-Jaemin: Hmm... What would I need to do?
-Seojoon: (places a hand on his shoulder) Jaemin, we are best friends since I have memory... Please, call your ex-
-Jaemin: (smiling) I refuse.
-Seojoon: Ahhh! Why?! Please, help me with this! Do you want me to beg?! Is that so?! (gets on your knees)
-Yeri: (opens your office door) Seojoon I know-- Eh? Seojoon... (-_-) I didn't know you were into this kind of things... I suspected already that you could be gay, but I wouldn't have imagined that you would do something like this at work...
-Both: It is not what it looks like!
-Seojoon: You are just misunderstanding this! I'm just asking him to help me to find Park Junghwang...
-Yeri: Have you told him?! (panics)
-Jaemin: Tell me about what? What is she talking about, Seojoon? (confused)
-Seojoon: Uh... Let's see... How do I explain this...
-Jaemin: Seojoon. We are best friends, you must tell me! No secrets between us, we are brothers (serious)
-Seojoon: (sighs) Fine... I'm sorry for not telling you before about this...
-Yeri: Seojoon, are you seriously going to tell him?!
-Seojoon: Jaemin... The truth is that... Yeri and I are going out, she's my girlfriend... (looks down)
-Yeri: (jaw drops)

-Jaemin: Seojoon you dumbass! Why didn't you tell me before? I would had helped you to make her fall for you

-Jaemin: Seojoon you dumbass! Why didn't you tell me before? I would had helped you to make her fall for you...
-Seojoon: Oh! It is not necessary, as you can see we a seriously in love (holds hands with Yeri and forces a fake laugh)
-Jaemin: I-I see... (laughs awkwardly)
-Yeri: W-Well, Jaemin oppa, here mu dear boyfriend and I, had a date planned... So, I'm gonna borrow him for a while, okay? (smiles)
-Jaemin: Sure, have fun! (smiles and waves)

We then exit the police station and head to my car... There, I sigh for at least ten times... How could I do something like that? That excuse was the worst ever!

-Yeri: You own me an explanation...
-Seojoon: I didn't have any other option... (hits the wheel)
-Yeri: Well, I guess that now it is the same for the both of us... We'll act as a couple with my family, and also at the police station... Since you helped me with dad, I'll forgive you what just happened... (smiles)
-Seojoon: (faces her) Thank you, Yeri (smiles)
-Yeri: (heart fluttering) B-By the way, I know where Park Junghwang is...
-Seojoon: Really?! Jaemin knows where he is as well because he's his ex girlfriend dad... But he refused to call her...
-Yeri: That would be the last thing to do with an ex, idiot! (laughs)
-Seojoon:Why are you laughing then?
-Yeri: Because something as stupid as that, really suits you... (smiles)
-Seojoon: I don't see the problem of calling an ex... You onced lover her, if you maintain the respect, then there's no problem...
-Yeri: I would allow you to call me if you were my ex (chuckles)
-Seojoon: Really? I wouldn't call you...
-Yeri: You are so cruel... (fake smiles)
-Seojoon: You misunderstood me, if we ever started dating, I would avoid becoming your ex and I would always be your boyfriend... (starts the machine)
-Yeri: Seojoon... That's actually-
-Seojoon: Ah sorry I can't hear you with the traffic noise (embarrassed)
-Yeri: You are cute (mumbling)

-Some time later-

-Yeri: Why are we here?
-Seojoon: Because no one comes to this place, and we can discuss what to do about the case...
-Yeri: What do you mean by "no one"? This is a kindergarten park! There's lit of families, you idiot!
-Seojoon: Yeah, that's why the police doesn't suspect about this place and doesn't come too much often... (smiles) I know I'm smart, you don't need to tell me...

-Yeri: But we don't need to discuss anything

-Yeri: But we don't need to discuss anything. We need to book a blight to London... And since we are a "couple", we can just say that we are traveling together for pure pleasure!
-Seojoon: Oh...
-Yeri: What? (smiles) I know I'm smart, you don't need to tell me- wait, what are you doing?
-Seojoon: Hi buddy (waves at a kid)
-Kid: (laughs and runs around)
-Yeri: (smiles softly) You have this side too, huh?
-Seojoon: Shut up, I wasn't doing anything... I was telling him to get away... (avoids eye contact)
-Yeri: I like men who likes children... They'll be great fathers (smiles) Not like mine, forcing me to marry someone I don't like...
-Seojoon: But he accepted me...
-Yeri: I guess I'll marry you, then (srughs and smiles)
-Seojoon: (laughs) Oh Yeri, you've got funnier lately...
-Yeri: I'm not kidding tho... We'll get married in order to avoid the arrangement...
-Seojoon: Ah, you are serious... (fake faints)
-Yeri: Don't worry Seojoon, I'll make sure to make you fall for me (smiles)
-Seojoon: Why would-
-Yeri: You are starting to make me like you already, so we are going in the right way... (smiles and walks away)
-Seojoon: (blushes) Yeri! Wait for me! (chases her)
