Since the divorce hearing that happened around a month ago Kyuhyun cannot get his head off of the case, he was left puzzled by Han Sera. she changed from the gold digger b*tch into this harmless woman and he was sure she’s hiding something. Either she has another evil motive or she has a hidden agenda—or affair in this case—that he can find out.

After the court Taecyeon clearly told Kyuhyun not to bother Sera with further charges. Kyuhyun used to offer Taecyeon a spy service to watch what Sera will do with her alimony but Taecyeon refused to do that. He’d rather not know what she’s doing with his money, after all she’s no longer his wife that he needs to monitors all the time.

Kyuhyun decided to investigate this case himself, because apparently the phrase ‘curiosity kills the cat’ applies to him badly. He got all the details he needed such as the time and place Han Sera first swiped Taecyeon’s credit card in New York and where she stays during her vacation in New York. He called his old private detective friend stationed in the U.S few days ago and investigate the matters himself. In the meantime, what he can do in Seoul while waiting for the news from his friend, is to investigate what Han Sera’s doing with her first alimony.

Since Taecyeon gave her a debit card—that Kyuhyun had already wrote down the number, Kyuhyun can easily track down her usage. In his job, having a good connection to police officers, bankers, and debt collectors are the best backup he can have. If he needs to tackle his client’s opponent, he’ll usually look through their history first from these three options. He did the same with Han Sera but the b*tch was clean.

At least she didn’t have a criminal record nor owing a debt collector anything. However, tonight Kyuhyun found out what Sera used her first alimony for—the alimony she refused to accept—she went shopping the day she got the money and spent them all at once to buy several designer bags and some shoes. He scoffs to this finding, he knew Han Sera refused the alimony only as her attempt to make Taecyeon offer more. What kind of girl spent the rest of her monthly alimony in a day like this?

Kyuhyun writes down the store where she swiped her card and decided to go to the place himself tomorrow.

Sera gets off from the taxi and brings all the items she just bought yesterday to the department store where she got them. To her this is just a regular procedure that always works out for her. Actually Sera’s is mildly proud of herself to be able to clear her trace well from Taecyeon, she can’t imagine what he’s going to do if he knows what she’s doing—and she doesn’t want to think about it, because it still hurts her every time she remembers him.

She enters the store where she bought her items yesterday and put the bags in front of the cashier.

“I’d like to return these stuff, please.” She adds a b*tchy smile. “Turn out my sister doesn’t like the design and she wants me to buy her a birthday present from another brand. Sorry for the troubles.”

The store clerks look closely at her. This is not the first time they have to deal with an annoying costumer, but they never like dealing with return items. People return their items for reason—mostly because its broken—so they have to go thoroughly when checking the things.

“I can return these, can’t I? I read in the receipt I have 30 days to change my mind as long as I haven’t take off the tags. Everything is still there, don’t worry.”

“Iye, costumer-nim. We’ll check the item you purchased thoroughly first, if you don’t mind.” The store clerk tries to smile halfheartedly.

Sera wait for them to check the bags and shoes she just bought from this very store yesterday. She’s certain that the items are still in perfect condition since she never took it out of its bag.

After what seems to be half an hour and the store clerk cannot find any broken indicator from the bags and shoes, they decided Sera can have a full return.

“We’ll take the items, costumer-nim. However, we cannot return the money in debit, is cash okay with you?”

Sera smiles “Of course, cash is fine.”

Minutes later Sera already has a million won in her hand. She puts the money into her purse and leave the store to go to her new place.

“this will get me by for another month at least.” She bitterly mumbles to herself before she flags a taxi to take her into her new place.

Not knowing she’s being followed by the curious Kyuhyun that’s been watching her suspicious actions.

***

Kyuhyun shrieks happily in his car while he’s following the taxi that’s taking Han Sera to wherever she’s heading. This is a win for him, he saw her getting off the taxi earlier and he knows what she’s doing. She’s doing her own scam in a very clean way. She purchases items with a debit card and return them in order to have cash. Therefore, the record never reported back—so if Taecyeon receive activity report of her card, he’ll only think Sera’s shopping for bags and shoes.

He has to give two thumbs up to her, she thinks
