"You left earlier than usual today. Was it something important?" Lucas asked as the two of them sat down for dinner. Haeun untied her apron before sitting down beside him. "Yeah," she answered, "I just had a few errands to run before the saloon opened." Lucas didn't seem to think anything was off and simply nodded his head. From the corner of her eye, Haeun glanced at her badge and gun that she had hidden. It wasn't time for him to know just yet. 

"Woah~ This taste amazing!" 

Haeun burst out laughing at Lucas's sudden exclaim. 

"Really! I'm not lying, woah~ It's so delicious!"

 

Haeun was the first to arrive at her department, a habit that was usual for her. She took off her jacket and began to flip through today's agenda. Her team would head to the hospital to have a word with the victims. Despite already gaining the confession from the previous team, Haeun couldn't help but feel odd about the victims' statements. Her gut was telling her something was odd but she wasn't able to see it. Haeun was a person who followed her gut more than her head (saving her a few times). As she was reading through the report once again, she heard loud voices heading towards where she was. 

"Morning, Haeun!" Mark was the first to greet her. He was surrounded by 3 guys, all of which were unknown to Haeun. She turned her chair around to take a good look at them. Mark pointed at them, "These were the new members I told you about the other day. They were recruited when you were on leave. This is Yoon Haeun, she just came back from her one year leave and will be working with us from now on." 

The tallest of them was the first to introduce himself. "My name is Seo Youngho but I prefer Johnny. I've heard plenty about you from the other officers." Haeun was quick to notice that Johnny had that older-brother vibe, one that would have made 'teenage Haeun' melt.

"I'm Dong Si Cheng, everyone calls me WinWin," he slightly bowed towards her. "Please take good care of me." 

Mark nudged the last person to speak up. He lifted his head to meet Haeun's eyes. 

"Lee Taeyong," that was all he said before heading to his desk and sitting down. Haeun had to admit that he radiated a leader-like and chic vibe but he seemed to be a cold person. After introductions were over, Mark pulled up a chair and sat down beside Haeun. He had a big smile on his face for whatever reason and that's why Haeun had to ask. 

"What is up with you?" 

"Nothing," Mark replied, the big smile still on his face. "I'm just glad to see you here, working with me again. It's so great to have you back!" 

"Ooookaayyyy," Haeun found it a bit odd seeing Mark so cheery considering it's been forever since they last met. Truthfully, Mark was glad Haeun was back - he had really missed her during her leave. Not saying the other guys weren't good at their job but there was something about the way Haeun put her utmost effort in every case that made you want to follow her lead. Also, he missed having someone to tease all the time - he was already thinking of ways to prank her.

 

"Why are we questioning them again? I thought the last team already took down their statements." Johnny parked the car. The boys stepped out from the vehicle as Mark spoke, "It's normal procedure, Johnny. Besides, Haeun said something was off with their statements - a gut feeling. You should always trust her gut." Mark made sure they understood that it was a serious statement. 

Haeun was already waiting for them in front of the hospital. She was patting down her hair from the motorcycle helmet. "Is everyone clear on what they have to do?" she asked and her members nodded their heads. It was the new members first time watching Haeun solve a case with them and right now, she was emitting such a strong aura - she was pumped to be back in the game. 

The group split up in pairs while Haeun decided to go alone. She would be speaking with Jung Gayoung, the third victim to be kidnapped. Haeun met up with Gayoung's mother in front of her room. 

Haeun extended her hand, "Yoon Haeun, I'm from the detective department. I'm terribly sorry for what happened to your daughter." The older woman simply nodded at her, "You can come in but... I don't think she'll be able to help you a lot." 

Gayoung sat down on the sofa, staring into the void. Her eyes looked up to see Haeun. "Gayoung ah, this is Haeun. She's here to ask you some questions," her mother went to her side and gently squeezed her shoulder. There was no response coming from the younger girl. Gayoung's mother left the two to speak in private. 

"Can you remember anything, Gayoung?" Haeun moved to sit closer to Gayoung. "I know that it's hard for you but we really need your help to catch the person who did this to you." 

Gayoung slowly turned her head and Haeun found it sad to see her eyes - they were empty. Slowly, she began to speak. 

"If you can't have it, then steal it back." 

"What?" 

"If you can't have it, then steal it back," Gayoung repeated. "She belongs to him and only him - she is his and only his." She started to speak faster. "Pictures, pretty pictures on the wall. Pictures of her, pictures of her - he took them all. He wants her, he wants her so bad but she's not his. She's not his, she's

Chapter 14: i have feeling byungwoo is so suspicious but there’s no much infomations about him.

plus the words those girls told haeun really makes me feel the case related to her and lucas. it might’ve been someone between both of them (this is why i suspect byungwoo)z

i want to sum more but i think it’s better for me to continue reading this first. btw, keep update i really love this story! (maybe bcs crime/mystery is my fav genre)

Chapter 21: Oof, this was sad :'(
I guess that Lucas got the offer with a really tight time frame, for him stalling so much to tell Haeun.
I think he could have tried to tell her the day he got the offer. Maybe she couldn't go with him on that time, but maybe she could have planned on somewhat being transfered? Idk If that's possible but... Yeah.
But this makes clear again why Haeun is going to the last resources to prove him innocent. And how much of a tight spot he was since he ce back to ask for help.
I hope things end well.

Chapter 21: So far, all we've got about the criminal is that he's got a ( flower-like ?) tattoo, has dimples and a mole under his right eye. Also, I think that the criminal's eyes is set on Haeun. Tbh, I'm a bit suspicious of Byunwoo. He's only showed up once but with the victims' statements, it seems like it does fit a bit? I mean, why was 'Lucas' framed out of all people? and that scene at the end of chapter 13:
"Pictures of different men were stuck on the board, each of them had red crosses on their faces.
'She's mine- always and forever mine.'
A knife was stabbed in the middle of one of those pictures- the main target had to be taken down somehow."

I feel like the man in the picture in the 'middle' with the knife is Lucas. He's framing Lucas because he's been with Haeun since childhood and was the one who comforted her and stuck with her during that incident in highschool. And also because he was the next boyfriend she had after Byunwoo.

"If you can't have it, then steal it back" and also with what Renjun said on the 15th chapter, "it seems that something happened with that batch, a big rumor and caused quite a big trouble." What if the 'something' that happened was 'Haeun's scandal' ? Also, didn't she say that Lucas used to go to that school before but for some reason,was changed into an all-girls school?

In chapter 9, the old lady they talked to before gave us a really big clue. She mentioned about the guy who's been asking about the old tenants before her. She also mentioned that the old tenants had a daughter and 2 sons. Haeun and her twin brothers? Also, though she wasn't entirely sure, she mentioned names that oddly resembled Haeun's name. Hanun, Hawon...
With Mark and Haeun confirming for us that Haeun did, in fact, lived here before for a short amount of time.

P.s. It wold be a HUGE plot twist if Renjun is also a cop in disguise lmao ( Dw Renjun, I gotchu back. )

Chapter 21: I was not expecting Eunbin to get involved. I wonder how this is related since Eunbin's situation is different from the other girls.
Renjun is a big help too, even If he doesn't know who Haeun really is xD I Wonder what would be his reaction If he get to know It.
Also, I hope Haeun can get the proof she need.
