“Hey! I said stop!! Give me back my bag! Once I get hold of you, It’s the end!! Hey!!” Scarlett kept screaming, as she kept on chasing the stubborn and fast thief.
“f_ck” She inhaled deeply and stopped to catch her breath.
“Is he usain bolt brother or what?” She muttered, watching him run off.
Suddenly, somebody ran past her. He seemed to be chasing after the thief too.
“Huh?” Scarlett watched him as he ran off.
She slowly walked trying to know what would happen next.
She was about heading to the corner when the same person came to her, back.
“Huhn…” She muttered when her eyes fell on the bag the person was holding.
“I guess this is yours?’ The man asked, panting.
“De(Yes) Kamsammida(Thank you)” She responded and bowed slightly.
“Its fine..” He chuckled softly.
Scarlett smiled, and nodded. She was about to leave when he quickly held her.

“Sorry, I’m a cop- He paused, and shoved his ID to her face.
Scarlett only blinked.
“I’m not gonna waste much of your time. I need you to follow me to the station”
Scarlett eyes suddenly grew big.
“What?! No…Why??”
“Don’t worry, you aren’t gonna get arrested” He laughed
“Just a little statement will do” He added.
“I’m really sorry but I can’t follow you now. Can we do it later, please? Today’s my first day of work and I’m late” Scarlett said, quickly.
“I promise not to waste your time. Please, Your short statement will go a long way, pretty please. Remember, if not me, Then, your bag would not be on your shoulders”
Scarlett looked at her bag, and then cleared her throat before looking back at his face.
“Okay then. But just 15 minutes”
“Sure,,, Thank you so much” He said.
“14 more minutes”
“Let’s go” He laughed, and she quickly followed him.
SEOUL’S STATION**
Scarlett was sitting on the desk, with her hands on the desk while she rubbed her palms together.
“Where is that handsome cop?” She muttered inwardly, looking everywhere.
“Hope I didn’t keep you for so long” He said, and dropped two cups of coffees on the desk.
“Not really. I’m good. I don’t really need this now” Scarlett said, and slightly pushed the coffee away.

“Just take it. It’s good to calm one nerves. I saw the way you ran” He said, drinking his coffee, while sitting down.
Scarlett sighed, and also started drinking her coffee.
“Wow. It tastes nice. Did you make it yourself?” She asked.
“Yeah,,, I have a special secret recipe” He winked.
“Pardon me” Scarlett smiled, and drank the whole content.
“Whoa. I was expecting that though. No one can resist my coffee, trust me” He said.
“You just proved it” Scarlett said.
“Anyways, I’m…Dylan. What’s your name?” He asked.
“Scarlett” She replied, zealously and his heart jumped.
His eyes blinked uncontrollably.
“Nice…to mee to you, Miss Scarlett” He cooed.
“Same here, Dylan” She replied.
“So,, Huh… The statement- He paused, and took a pen from the cup on his desk.
“Oh yes” She nodded.
“Did you see the thief face?” He asked.
“Yeah, A bit. I thought you caught the thief when you bought back my bag. Didn’t you see his face?”
“Huh?…Huh! Uh…Yeah…I…mean No! I…i didn’t see his face. He gave me a hit, threw the bag on my face, and just ran off” Dylan said.

“Oh…” Scarlett muttered.
“Anyways, Is there anything you remember? Anything you can outline from his face?”
Scarlett swallowed softly.
“Hmm…I don’t know how to explain how he looks like. But I swear, when I see him,, I will definitely recognize him”
“Oh…Okay then”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t really be of great help”
“No…Its alright”
“…Hmm,,, Can I go now?” Scarlett stood up.
“Sure…Sure…But can I have your number just in case?” Dylan asked, also standing up.
“Yeah, no problem. Your phone?” Scarlett asked, and Dylan gave her, his phone.
She saved in her number and went to his home screen.
She saw his picture, right there. He was smiling, while carrying a little beautiful girl, who was smiling cutely.
“Wow” She smiled.
“Huh?” Dylan looked at his phone and quickly took it from her.

Scarlett looked at him.
“I’m sorry for prying. I wasn’t trying to-
“No, It’s fine” Dylan cut in, and pocketed his phone.
“She’s beautiful” Scarlett muttered.
“What?” He also muttered.
“That little girl by your arms. She looks a lot like you. I’m guessing she’s your daughter?” Scarlett asked.
Dylan blinked, and rubbed his back hair with his palm.
He nodded slightly.
“She’s really beautiful. I guess she took the beauty from her handsome father. I almost fell for someone’s dad” She chuckled.
Dylan folded his lips.
When Scarlett saw he wasn’t saying anything, She bowed down a bit.
“Thank you a lot. I gotta go now” She said, and advanced to the door.
When she reached the door, She felt a sharp and stinging pain in her chest.
“Owww” She muttered, and bent down a bit, holding her chest tight.
Dylan quickly ran to her.
“Are you alright?”
