Reunions
Master Theif"Hello Zelo~ Long time no see," Reporter Jung said brightly, while sitting at their usual meeting spot.
"Do you have any new info on Daehyun? He's back," Zelo said seriously.
Oh? Reporter Jung thought to himself. Usually this kid like to avoid speaking about Daehyun.
"I always post all my info online, you know that. I went to the museum that had broken glass all over the floor. Daehyun had to be there somewhere."
"okay then..." Zelo paused for a moment then got up to leave.
"Hey wait! What about lunch?!" Reporter Jung was surprised Zelo was actually leaving before eating with him.
"I- I'm going to catch the master thief. So if you want to meet even without him around I'd be really happy. But if you don't, I'm still going to catch him anyway."
Zelo left to go check out that museum. This couldn't go on any longer. The thief was getting harder and harder to catch as time goes by. The soon he's caught the better. As for Reporter Jung's obsession with Daehyun, Zelo could only hope for the best regardless the outcome.

Yongguk was at the sight of the museum. The new thief always left no evidence behind, yet here was a display of the his actions. Did he usually clean up after making a mess but was interrupted by Daehyun? Or is he getting more wild and less careful. If it was the latter it would be good.
He's clearly very skilled, maybe a perfectionist. The treasures he's stolen thus far are the rarest of the rarest. A collector, with a specific taste. Perhaps with this Yongguk could at least pick a few possible locations of where the new thief, and Daehyun, may be steal from.
As he walked out of the museum, he saw Zelo talking to the museum employees. Yongguk didn't talk to him, because he felt Zelo coming up with his own conclusions would be better.
Yongguk walked home even though the walk was a bit far. He had to relax and think clearly. Something about Daehyun's actions lately has gotten him worried. The thief was being reckless at the same time, he was less reckless than before. He was either throwing away his freedom or securing his final escape. Yongguk didn't like either of them.
He then sat down at a park by his home. The sun was tuning the sky red. He closed his eyes to rest for a moment.
"Yo Bang."
Yongguk opened his eyes in shock to see who was in front of him.
It was the master thief with his hair dyed blonde, wearing blue-contact lens, a snap back and white casual clothing. A complete difference from his usual all black.
"D-Daehyun!" Yongguk got up ready to pursue.
Daehyun stuck his hand up to stop him and said, "If I scream when with both look like this, even in this park will only see an ajusshi attacking a little kid." Daehyun smirked.
Yobgguk realized that Daehyun had this meeting planed. And with their appearance this way, what Daehyun said would be true.
"What do you want?" Yongguk asked while eyeing the thief. At the same time he was reading him. 'His age has always been ambiguous, but now that I have a closer look at him, his definalety in his young twenties. Hell, he could be barely twenty.'
Daehyun started walking back and forth showing off his unstable leg. Yongguk had wide eyes which made Daehyun smirk.
"As you can see, we are on equal footing. The police force and I. While I have an advantage, I also have a disadvantage. My disadvantage will disappear eventually, which won't increase your chances of catching me, but if I win while I still have it won't you be embarrassed?"
"Did you come here just to try to provoke me?"
"No I just came to eat ice cream!"
Daehyun then went to buy ice cream by the nearby vendor.
Yongguk was speechless but decided to wait patiently. Maybe the thief had an ID or something in his wallet. While he didn't like being sneaky, he had to make use of this chance. So he waited until the thief came near.
Daehyun casually walked and sat next to him with his ice cream. As Yongguk was about to make his move, Daehyun said, "here." It was Yongguk's wallet.
"Thanks for the ice cream >)"
"You have a reason for showing up in front of me personally don't you?" Yongguk asked. While Yongguk wanted observe Daehyun more, he knew clearly he was being toyed with. Somehow it reminded him of the time During the princess incident. Daehyun's display of innocence made him uncomfortable.
Daehyun ignored him. Yongguk waited patiently for an answer. When Daehyun finally finished he got up and wiped the crums off. He then turned around and leaned on the bench with one hand, moving his face close to Yongguk's.
"I want you to catch me," he said with a naughty smile.
Yongguk felt the innocence dissappear and the master thief persona return.
After Daehyun had left, Yongguk sat there for a while.
"I'll catch you, Daehyun. And I'll catch your true identity too."
