"Bella. Come out now. I'm sure, Even the bathroom is getting sick of you." Sunbin was shouting for a while. But Bella wasn't responding. Bella was in the bathroom for 40 minutes, taking a shower.
Sunbin again shouted, "Come out of the bathroom. You're taking too long. Do you know what time is it? It's 10 already. You have to eat your breakfast and go to the photoshoot. Then the police station. Then your so-called best friend's house. Yea. Crankenstein. Come out."
As Bella came out of the bathroom, she hit on Sunbin's back, "I told you not to call me that."
Sunbin gave a playful smile, "It's the word that makes you come out." Bella whined. Before she could reply, her phone rang.
Bella picked up the call, "Daniel."
"Are you ready? "
"Yeah."
"Eat your breakfast and come outside. I'm waiting outside."
"Why? You don't have work?"
" I'm free today."
"Then take rest at home or hang out with Nick and Herry. Why do you bother to go with me?"
"I want to watch the photoshoot."
"Okay. I'm coming."
--------- ---------
When Daniel saw Sunbin and Bella coming to his car, he came out of the car and opened the backseat door for them. Bella glared at him. "What are you? My manager?"
Daniel put his hands in the pockets and smiled cheekily, "Do you need one?"
Sunbin shook her head, "No. She doesn't need one. We're late. Let's go."
As they sat in the car, Daniel started to drive. Daniel broke the silence first, "Are you sure his name is Peter? I can't find anything from the papers you brought from the museum."
"Peter, Zack, Dessy, Kellen I heard their name clearly that day. Do you think I can forget their name? They... they killed our parents." Bella said as her heart ached.
Sunbin let out a soft sigh. "I wasn't going to tell it now. About Peter. The documents we brought last time from the phone company. I find something. There was an employee named Peter. But he quit the job. I find his address. Let's go there tomorrow."
Bella and Daniel widened their's eyes. "Really?" They said together, at the same time. They were trying to find these criminals for many years. When police weren't able to help them, they decided to find them together without any help from the police.
As Sunbin nodded, Bella excitedly hugged her, "At last.Thank you derling.."
Daniel let out a relieved breath, "Thanks Sunbin."

"Shawn." Mrs. Wilson was calling Shawn loudly.
"Yes Mom." Shawn shouted in response while opening the door.
"Oh My God." He almost jumped seeing her in front the door.
Mrs. Wilson narrowed her eyes, "Why are you so scared? Were you doing something that you shouldn't do?"
Shawn gave her a glare cutely, "Why you bother to shout when you were in front of the door? Why didn't you knock?"
Mrs. Wilson showed him her fingernails, "I applied nail polish my son."
Shawn came out of his room and closed the door, "Mamma. Knocking the door don't destroy your nail polish."
Mrs. Wilson scanned him from head to toe. He was wearing his formal uniform. "Are you going to your duty?"
As he nodded, she creased her brows. "I told you not to go to duty for four or five days from yesterday and stay with us. But you didn't do that. You stayed at your own apartment, came here in the morning and even now you're going to your duty. Will you do this at your wedding too?." She complained.
Shawn looked at his mother and held her arm, "Mom. I just like to stay alone there. And I'm a police officer. I can't take my holidays for this."
"You can. You crazy jerk. How can you even think that you'll not be present here? It's your sister's wedding. I already talk to your senior officer." Shawn sighed as he heard his father's voice. Now, he really can't go.
"Dad.." Before Shawn could say further, Mr. Wilson stopped him, "You're not going somewhere. I can't manage everything alone. Your little sister Selly is always busy with her makeup dress fashion. She'll be busier when her friends will come."
Now Shawn smiled, "What about the wedding planner? Aren't they the best wedding planner team in this Whole South Korea?"
Mr. Wilson nodded, "Yes. But still, we have to manage them." Shawn lost. He sighed helplessly, "Ok. I'll be here. Let me go now. Just for two hours."
Mrs. Wilson agreed, "okay. Go."
Inhaling a soft breath, Shawn quickly came downstairs.
"Shawn." When her elder sister Arena saw him, she called,
Shawn looked at her, "Yes?"
Arena raised her brows, " Going to your own apartment? I'm leaving after my wedding. Will you stay in your own house even after I leave?"
Shawn glared at her murderously, "I'm going to my work. And Sometimes I just like to stay alone in my apartment. My choice has nothing to do with you. Do you wanna die badly before your wedding? Do you wanna make your husband widow before the wedding?"
Arena chuckled, "He is a man. What widow? Widower." Shawn narrowed his gaze at her, "He is a man? Really? I thought.." Arena punched on his arm, shouting, "Punk..."
Shawn massaged his arm, and let out a soft laugh, "sis. I'm going now. I'll be back in 2 hours." As she nodded, he came to his car and drove to the police station.
* * *
After finishing the photoshoot, they came to the police station, Sunbin and Daniel stayed in the car. As Bella entered the police station, a soft smile appeared on Bella's face seeing a familiar face, that face made her feel comfortable.
Shawn stood up as he saw that person whom he was waiting for. He smiled softly, "Please sit."
Bella sat in front of him, "How are you? What did the doctor do for you yesterday?"
Shawn pressed his lips, "He prescribed me a sleeping pill name. But he didn't allow me to take it every day."
Bella felt discomfort inside her heart. why? why is this happening to me?
Shawn took out some papers with photos from the table drawer and gave it to Bella, "Check these photos out. If you don't find him, we'll have to go to the restaurant."
Bella started to check very carefully. As she finished checking the last photo, she sighed, "None of them."
Shawn heaver a deep sigh, "Okay? Can we go to the restaurant? Do you have time?"
"Yes. Just a minute." Bella nodded and took out her phone, dialed Daniel's number, "Daniel. Listen."
"Hm. Any problem?"
"No. We'll go to the restaurant. I'll go to my friend's house from the restaurant. You should go now. You can drive Sunbin to my friend's house in the afternoon, right?"
"I'm free today. I can go with you to the restaurant."
"No, Go."
"You'll be okay right?"
"Yes. I'll be okay. Don't worry."
"Take care."
As Bella hung up, Shawn narrowed his gaze at her, "Boyfriend?"
Bella was surprised by his sudden question. She quickly shook her head, " He is just a friend."
Shawn didn't understand why he felt relaxed inside his heart. "We should go now."
-* * *
"I think it was pre-planned. They said one man joined one day ago and he isn't coming after that day." Shawn said to Bella when they came out of the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant said that the man supposed to come with his papers today but he didn't.
"Do you have any other suspicious person?" Shawn asked Bella.
Bella shook her head. She looked upset. Shawn sighed, "Where will you go now?"
"My friend's house." Bella said softly.
Shawn opened the door beside the driver seat "Go in. I'll drive you there."
Bella shook her head saying, "It's okay. I can go by myself. You must have many works."
Shawn grabbed her hand and pushed her in the car. Shawn leaned down and looked deep into her eyes, "I'm having days off." He whispered.
Bella widened her eyes as she heard that. Then why does he come here with me? His gazes were sending butterflies in her stomach. Her heart started beating fastly as he leaned closer. She gulped, mumbling, "Sh.. Shawn.."
Shawn closed the door and sat on the driver seat., "We can be informal now, right?"
Bella smiled awkwardly and nodded. "Yeah. We can be friends."
Shawn bit his lower lip and shook his head, "I don't think. We can't be friends. We didn't have born to be friends."
Bella raised her brows in shock and looked at him, "What?"
Shawn chuckled, "Nothing. Tell me the address."
"Cheongdam, street number 2, mansion number 112-60."
Shawn widened his eyes as Bella said that. "Are you sure?"
Seeing his shocked expression, Bella nodded confusingly.
Shawn stopped the car and looked at her, "What's your friend's name?"
"Selly." As she replied, Shawn looked at her with a blank face for some time.
She clenched her jaw, "Do you know her?"
Shawn started driving again without answering her question,
When they arrived at the house, Shawn turned his face to Bella, "We're here."
Bella came out of the car and thanked him. As she saw Shawn came out, she said, "You don't need to come out."
Shawn smiled cheekily, "Can I meet with your friend? I'll just say hello to her. She is the mode, right? I'm a fan."
After thinking for a long minute, Bella agreed, "Okay. You stand outside the door. I'll go first."
As Bella went inside, Shawn waited outside. He was trying hard not to laugh.
As Bella saw Selly, she hugged, "Selly."
"Bella. You've become prettier. I missed you badly. Thank you so much for coming. Sunbin is coming right?" Selly asked as she pulled away.
Bella smiled and nodded. "Actually someone wants to meet you." She mumbled.
Selly raided her brows. "Who?"
Bella turned back. "Come in." Shawn did as she told.
When Selly saw Shawn, she widened her eyes, "Shawn."
Shawn smiled cheekily and waved at her, "Hello sister."
Bella looked at them confusingly. She didn't understand what was happening.
Shawn chuckled at her cute confused face, "She is my younger sister. Bella. Welcome home. Welcome to our home."
"...Welcome home. Welcome to our house.""What?" Bella raised her brows in surprise and asked loudly. Selly smiled and glared at Shawn, saying, "Did Shawn Oppa pull a prank on my friend?" Shawn smirked and shook his head, "It was a coincidence."Bella's lips parted, she closed her eyes tightly, "Ah. I'm stupid." Shawn laughed and shook his head, "Ani. You're cute." and so pretty. Bella's cheeks blushed. Selly took a glance at Shawn, and grabbed his hand, "Oppa. Come here." He took him to a corner a little far from Bella, "Why?" Bella looked at them blankly."Any good news?" Selly gazed at Shawn suspiciously. Shawn felt uncomfortable by her gaze, "What.. do.. you mean?" Selly chuckled softly, "Why do you come with her?" Shawn glared at her, "Why do you think? She reported an FIR. We went....""That's not it. I'm talking about your eyes. These are suspicious. You smile when you talk with her." Selly pointed his eyes with her finger. Shawn bit his lower lip and cleared his
The old man gave ordered to his soldiers, "Kill her and that boy." Bella wasn't so far away from the old man. She smiled at a boy and held his hand. The soldiers quickly ran to them and started shooting bullets on them. Bella felt his knees went weak when she got shot by the bullets.When the bullet hit her, surprisingly it didn't hurt at all. Not one bit. But when she heard another sound of the shot, she couldn't find her voice, she felt she was dying. But the last thing she wanted to do was to save him. she quickly stood up, trying to cover the boy from getting hit by the bullets. But she failed. He pulled her in his arms and turned his body to the direction where the bullets were coming from. Tears were running down to her cheeks uncontrollably. She screamed, "Don't. I'm sorry. Don't die. For me.."Before she could say, that boy pressed his lips on hers softly. He whispered on her lips with his shaking voice, "I told you not to blame yourself. I'm sorry. I forced you." Inst
"You're ignoring me?" When Suzy saw Shawn coming into the restaurant, she hugged him and asked. Shawn quickly pushed her away and shouted, “Hey, Suzy. What are you doing here? Where is Inna, Kimbum, and Illwoo?""Here."Shawn turned back when he heard a familiar voice. Illwo, Kimbum came to him and gave him a friendly hug. Inna smiled, "She said she wants to come."Shawn glared at Inna, "And you bring her? Woah. Great." Inna laughed, "Sorry. Please bear it. Can we sit now?" Shawn flashed at her and nodded."So what's up guys?" Illwoo started. Shawn who was sitting beside him said, "My sister's wedding is tomorrow. Guys, you have to come." Suzy pouted her lips, "Me too?"Shawn rolled his eyes around, sighed helplessly seeing smirking faces of his friends, "Yes." He nodded."We'll definitely go." Kimbum smiled. Inna nodded, "It's been a long time since we get along. But it's too bad Seunggi has the duty today. I'm feeling bad for Seunggi."Then the waiter came to
"I'm sorry for bothering you." Bella broke the awkward silence between her and Shawn. They were walking to the street where Shawn parked his park.Shawn stopped walking and stood in front of Bella, stopping her to walk further. "No, you didn't bother me. I'll love it when you'll try to bother me. So you can try.""But I think you were on a date." Bella tilted her head and narrowed her eyes."Why? Why do you think that?" Shawn got confused. His breathing became heavy as she leaned closer and put her index finger on his shoulder. Pointing the red color mark on his white shirt."It's the Lancome brand's lipstick." Bella leaned closer and smelled the scent. Shawn felt his heartbeat raced.As she pulled away and looked at him for an explanation, he cleared his throat, "It's not your lipstick? I think when I.. hugged.. you.."Bella pouted her lips and shook her head, "I usually don't use the Lancome brands product. And I don't like dark color lipstick. I didn't even wear
"Wow. Bella. You're looking very gorgeous. But you're late." said Harry. Everyone at the party started stealing glances at Bella as she came. She was wearing a long blouse and skirt with light makeup on her face."Sorry." Bella looked at Daniel who was very quiet. Yes, he is a quiet person but whenever he is with his friends, he turns into a talkative person. No doubts every girl in this club already fell from him at first sight. He is looking so cool in this black outfit. "What's wrong with him?" Bella asked Nick, indirectly asking Daniel."Ask him. Why are you asking me?" Nick glared at her. Then he turned to Daniel who was standing beside him pretending like he can't hear anything. “Hey, Can't you hear? She is asking what's wrong with you?""She is asking you not me," Daniel said without looking at them. He was just greeting the other people.Bella laughed softly. He is angry because she didn't call her. This guy is like a child. "Sorry. I know you're angry be
"Shawn." Bella looked at him with disbelief. She didn't believe her eyes for a minute.Harry and Nick were about to punch on Ji Chang's face but before they could do so Ji Chang was falling on the floor caused by the hard slam of Shawn.Shawn was still gazing murderously at him. When he saw him close to Bella he felt fire raging within him. As he saw the nasty gazes in Ji Chang's eyes he couldn't hold himself back. He didn't think about the persons who were staring at him.As he remembered the look, he clenched his fist again and walked to him to give him another slam. But before he could do so, Bella already stopped him by holding his hands tightly. "Don't. Everyone in this club is staring at us." She whispered. When Shawn let out a sharp breath, Bella turned to the peoples who were staring at them shockingly.Ji Chang's father Dang-ill quickly ran to him and helped him to get up. Dang-ill glared at the person who hit his son, but his gazes softened when he saw Shawn. H
"Shawn." Bella shouted his name as he started to leave. She had to say everything she wanted to say, he can't get her wrong. She didn't want him to misunderstand her. "Shawn. Stop." She started to follow him. But before Bella could do so Daniel stopped her by grabbing her hand. "You said even if you fall in love, it should be me. What do you mean by that?" He was happy when he heard that. But when she started following him he felt there was something he didn't get. Bella stopped and looked at him. "I said it should be you. I didn't say it's you." She sighed. "Please don't get me wrong as he did." "What do you mean?" Daniel's heart started pounding up and down seeing her gazes. "I mean. He thinks that whom I love is you. He misunderstands the whole thing. He got the wrong idea." Bella wanted to clear it to Daniel too. She didn't love this man. Though he is first, he'll never be the first man in her heart. The man who stol
★"I feel like the battle is finally over. Shall we go now?" The woman held Shawn's hand tightly and started to walk. The feeling was indescribable. After a big fight, they finally win, they finally got the chance to stay with each other. He promised to love this woman, protect this woman. Finally, he thought he got the chance to. To do something for this woman and the other one who was coming. Their happiness knew no bounds now. Shawn smiled at that woman. "Where do you want to go?" She smiled sweetly. "Giho. We'll live there with the one who is coming." BeforeShawn could say something there were loud sounds of shooting bullets. Shawn felt the whole world stopped spinning when he saw the woman bleeding in front of him for the bullets that hit her stomach just now. Stomach? His chest tightened, his whole body started trembling. He felt like he died. But he had to save his woman no matter what, he gathered all the strength but before he could hold her in his ar
