---
New York, 2019.
Ahyoung was walking with a little bit cautious and rush. Afraid they will catch her. Lately, people that sent from her parents have always been watching her quietly and it was annoying. Her parents always tried to bring her back to Seoul.
It has been ten years more she was in New York. She followed the wishes of her father who wanted her to go to college with a major in law, but she secretly trained her hands to keep drawing and she even went to art school. Although her right hand's motor ability was reduced, that's where she found new hope.
Rachel helped her a lot here. But, two years ago, Rachel married and moved to Canada with her husband. She was alone in New York now.
When Rachel hesitantly asks her what about her if she marries. Ahyoung said of course she told her to be happy and being with a loved one was something Rachel would not regret.
And now, Rachel still frequently contact her. She always monitors her like an older sister. She now rarely visits her psychiatrist. She fills her days with lots of activities, that's why she starts to bury her past little by little. Sometimes it's still like a ghost who can attack her anytime but now she could control herself to be calmer when it's happened.
Her father was recently chosen to be prime minister and leaving his director's seat from his law firm which was now held by her mother. So, they're really busy. But, a few months ago, their parents just found out that she attended an art school. That makes them angry, especially Mr. Kim. Ahyoung also lied if she worked for a law firm in New York. She tried not to return to Seoul even she's really missing Seoul but she loved to live here and Seoul just gave her back bad memories.
"Want to get some drink?" Linda showed up with two bottles of Soju, safe Ahyoung from the frustration about her little finger and ring finger which feels stiff when taking too long to paint.
Linda was her friend that she knows from a painting club. She's nice to her and helps her a lot in New York. They're best friends now.
"You like Soju now?" Ahyoung glanced at her. Linda nodded and sipping it.
Ahyoung chuckled and sighed, she took a deep breath, feels a wind blowing to her face, as enjoyed music from her phone that loud accompany them.
"Where's Lucas? You're not going out today?" Ahyoung asked.
"We are have fought yesterday, I am lazy to seeing him-"
Ahyoung almost choked, she smiled and pointed at her. "I swear you guys... tomorrow.... already make out... in front of me again."
Linda was laughing and rolling her eyes. She was watching Ahyoung that looked at her.
"I want to introduce you to some boy, um, I mean a man-" said Linda serious made her burst out,
"Come on, you have to move on from Peter!"
"I am moving on!" Ahyoung denied. "I just-not-in condition to being in a relationship, it's toxic." Linda staring at her disbelief.
"Really-" Ahyoung was smiling assured her, she took the smile squishy from her bag to train her fine motor. "I am enjoying myself now,"
"But you're will not enjoy kissing or make out with yourself." Linda .
She was throwing a glare. "Shut up!" She her head to the side as laughed.
"Don't tell me that you still into the guy that in police uniform." Linda narrowed her eyes. "You still have his photo on your laptop."
Ahyoung was quiet for a moment. Linda tilted her face in surprise, "Oh, am I right?!"
Ahyoung rolls her eyes back at her in blurting out. "No." She pursed her lips. "It's not like I am still into him. You know, we dated when we were young so it's a bit ridiculous to remember how messed up it was." She sighed. "I'm just glad he could reach the dream that he once told me. I feel proud of him and-"
"And..." Linda continued. "You still care about him." She pointed her with the bottle.
Ahyoung blinked slowly like she thought about that and smiled. "Of course, I still care about him." Ahyoung lay down on the ground and closed her eyes. "We will always care about our first love doing."
"That's why first love never works. We always have delusions about them." Linda lay beside her. "But, whatever, we will still care about our ex, right?"
Ahyoung laughed and face her. "It's not me. It's you."
"Hey! Don't forget if you ever took me to the restaurant because you want to see Dr. Peter's wife!" Linda reminds her.
"I am just curious." Ahyoung defense.
Linda exhaled. "I just don't believe that you ever had affairs with him."
Automatically, Ahyoung get up and glared at her. "I don't know he has a wife back then!"
Linda laughed and told her to calm down. "Okay, but tell me. He must be cool in bed right?"
She shudders. "We're not that far!"
"One year? Liar."
"Really." She lay down back.
"So, is he a good kisser? Better than your first love?"
"Geez. I don't know."
"I don't believe you were a playing girl like Minah said but I believe there were many guys crushed on you because it's the same as here."
"Tsk. Why?"
"Because in New York, you only dated Peter."
"I promised my friend that I won't be an easy girl."
"What kind of promised."
Ahyoung smiled sweetly. "That's like not a promise because we just talk but I want to do it as she told me."
"Tsk. Hey, how about Kris? He's hot enough!"
Sehun walking towards the black car in front of the NYPD Police Academy. He tapped on the black window's car then went inside after put his bag in the trunk.
"My son, Oh Sehun-ssi!"
Sehun glanced lazily at Mr. Yoon as pulled the seatbelt. "I didn't know you were in New York either."
"I just came two weeks ago to take care of the return of the police student exchange here include you." Mr. Yoon smiled at him like he was really happy to see him.
Two years ago, Seoul police sent Sehun to the police academy in New York to take training as punishment after unlawfully investigating the case alone when the case should have an expired date. Sehun was called a crazy detective who works without mercy, although many people sometimes oppose his way, he always resolves cases quickly and neatly. He can always take other detective case rations because of his shrewdness in quickly reading the situation. He bullied by seniors who don't like him because they feel he was arrogant after gets too many awards too quickly.
"You miss me, right?" Sehun gave smirked to Mr. Yoon.
Mr. Yoon drove his car. "The office was really quiet after you left. Nobody bothered the team anymore because of you."
Sehun chuckled. "Ah, I know everyone misses me."
"Oh, actually, I came because of other purposes too. If I succeed then I can lead the team back and meet you guys again."
"Seriously?" Sehun became excited. "What's that?"
"We have to catch a woman. I watched her for more than a week."
Sehun furrowed. "What is the case? And why did you take that long to catch her? You're always easy to catch someone."
"Her name is Kim Yura. 28 years old. The daughter of our prime minister." Mr. Yoon gave him her data.
"Kim Yura?" Sehun had no idea about her. "Is she the daughter who was rumored to be hidden by the prime minister for a case?"
"You know that?" Mr. Yoon glanced at him.
"I heard from Nara. His father used to handle the case but didn't know how the case was closed."
"There is a lot of suspicions there and it says there is involvement from our current mayor."
"Mayor Song?"
Mr. Yoon nodded and stop his car in front of the building. "We are here." He opened the window beside Sehun. "It's her apartment."
"Isn't this too simple for a prime minister's daughter?"
"She lived in New York for ten years and refused to return to Seoul so she avoided her family lately for 2 years." Mr. Yoon said. "We have to bring her tonight no matter what."
As waiting for Mr. Yoon to watch outside, Sehun calmly reading a book. "I don't understand why they asked for something that not important," Sehun said.
"Nara's father knows Prime Minister Kim well, so naturally he will help him. Moreover, I heard that Prime Minister Kim made him the head of the Seoul police force." Mr. Yoon explained to him. "You are his lover, how do you not know?"
"Don't gossip." Sehun said curtly.
"Everyone knows that Chief Kwon wants you to be his son-in-law." Mr. Yoon added. "Nara even likes you a lot. She is beautiful, smart, have a good career, and last that important, she is the daughter of the head of the Seoul police, what else are you looking for?"
"It's not enough," Sehun said casually.
"Ah
