"Birthday"
S.M.E– S.M.E Office –
Jungshin entered the office and noticed Seohyun sitting by the sofa reading a magazine. Too focused with the magazine Seohyun didn’t notice Jungshin standing in front of her.
Jungshin: (What is she reading? I’ve been standing here for a while; hmm I should play a prank on her, but what?)
Jungshin: Seohyun-ssi, what are you reading?
Seohyun: Huh? This!
Jungshin: This month’s horoscopes? Oh...astrology.
Seohyun: Right! Jungshin, what’s your zodiac sign?
Jungshin: Me? My birthday is September 15...
Seohyun: Virgo? Virgo....let me see~ “Overall, this month is a lucky one. What was lost will be found and unexpected wealth will come forth.”
Jungshin: Haha. Unexpected wealth is it?
Seohyun: It is also says “It is the best month to confess to the person you like.”
Jungshin: COUGH
Seohyun: What’s wrong? Are you okay?
Jungshin: COUGH...I’m fine...COUGH.
Seohyun: (Hmm...I wonder what Yonghwa’s horoscope is) Jungshin, do you know Yonghwa’s horoscope?
Jungshin: (Hehehe...hyung’s birthday is June 22 but let’s play a little trick...time for my plan) Hmm, March 22.
Seohyun: March 22...Aries? March...22? Eh? Yonghwa’s birthday is almost here!
Jungshin: Oh, you didn’t know Seohyun~ssi?
?: What are you doing?
Both Seohyun and Jungshin looked at their side...
Seohyun: Yonghwa!
Yonghwa sat beside Seohyun.
Yonghwa: Seriously...he held me up for a whole hour...
Jungshin: The boss? You’ve worked hard.
Seohyun: (Ah...)
Seohyun suddenly noticed Yonghwa’s tie.
Seohyun: (That’s the tie I gave him, hehehe. I feel so happy~)
Yonghwa moves nearer to Seohyun, and places his arm behind her.
Yonghwa: What are you reading?
Seohyun: I’m looking at horoscopes!
Yonghwa: Horoscopes?
Seohyun: It’s really interesting! I was looking at Jungshin’s horoscope. He’s Virgo. Not only will he have unexpected wealth, it’s also a good month for him to confess his feelings.
Yonghwa: Is that so...
Jungshin: Cough, cough, chough, chough...
Seohyun: By the way, Yonghwa, don’t you celebrate your birthday?
Yonghwa: (Why is she suddenly asking?) No need to celebrate when you get this age.
Seohyun: Eh? Is everyone like this?
Jungshin: (Pfft...She believed me, I wonder how things would turn out.) Yeah...but it varies...those with significant others will celebrate together.
Seohyun: Is that so... (A significant other? Will Yonghwa only be happy if he has a special person to celebrate with him? I...also want to help Yonghwa celebrate!)
Yonghwa read his horoscope of the day.
Yonghwa: (“Tremendous luck will fall upon your star this month. You will have a special day unlike previous ones. You may also receive a very special gift trough some circumstances.” ...a very special gift huh...)
– Next Day S.M.E Office –
Seohyun: (A day passed already...speaking of which, how can I help Yonghwa celebrate? For my birthday, every year Kyuhyun oppa and Jinwoon oppa help me celebrate...they usually prepare a big cake and they give me gifts...let me think...oh yeah, a gift! Since it’s a birthday, I have to give him a gift!)
With Seohyun to busy with her thoughts, she didn’t notice both Yonghwa and Jungshin were staring at her.
Yonghwa: ...what’s up with her?
Jungshin: No idea.
Seohyun: (But, what should I give him? What sort of thing will make Yonghwa happy?)
– Next Day –
A number of people were standing behind the boarder trying to see what is behind the curtain of the crime scene. Both Yonghwa and Seohyun suddenly arrived at the scene.
Seohyun: (IT'S NO GOOD...I have no idea what to get him! I couldn’t even sleep a wink from all this thinking!)
Yonghwa showed his badge to the police officer standing guard outside the curtain. Yonghwa held the curtain in order for Seohyun to enter first.
Jonghyun: Oh, it’s hyung and Seohyun.
Yonghwa: Oh, are you in charge of this case?
Seohyun: Long time no see.
Jonghyun: Ah...yes.
Yonghwa: What happened?
Jonghyun: The victim is a male around 20 years old and has been dead for several hours. Also, his forehead and the back of his head have bruises and lacerations. He was probably struck by a solid club-shaped weapon like a bat or an iron bar.
Seohyun suddenly notice that the curtain was slightly opened so some of the people could see what was happening inside. She noticed a man standing in the middle of the crowd smiling.
Seohyun: ...? (What’s wrong with that person? Why is he smiling?)
Yonghwa: Seohyun: What’s wrong?
Seohyun: Ah, Yonghwa! No...nothing...then I’m going to look into the victim’s mind.
Yonghwa: Okay.
Seohyun: (That’s right. I need to focus on the case. I’ll put the matter of the gift aside for now. Let’s catch the criminal as soon as possible!)
– Nightfall S.M.E Office –
Yonghwa and Seohyun were sitting on the sofa exhausted.
Seohyun: (...so tiring...dead tired...anyway that killer...)
– Flashback –
Seohyun used her powers and in a few seconds she stopped.
Yonghwa: What’s up? Can’t see what the killer looks like?
Seohyun: That’s not it...I saw him, but he looks familiar...eh?
Seohyun suddenly saw the slightl
