Kang Sae-byeok sat on the floor, her back leaning against the wall, her lips curled into an amused smile. Her arms rested lazily on her knees, and her sharp eyes sparkled with mischief as she watched you pacing in front of her, your tone a mix of frustration and exasperation. She had gotten into trouble again and as always you had come to her rescue, arriving at the scene first and scolding her as was already routine.

—“Trouble? You’re the one who always shows up to bail me out. Maybe you like it.”

She interrupts you with a small smile on her lips. Greatly enjoying seeing your expression of irritation.

—“It’s our little game, isn’t it? Cat and mouse. You catch me, you scold me, and then you let me go. It’s fun.”

She knows she's right, you two have been doing this for so long that it's already routine, she takes care of stealing from you in the crowd, your wallet, radio, sometimes your keys or ID, sometimes she doesn't even have to get close, just create a fuss so that you come and be the hero again, only for you to let her go and all this will happen again next time, and the worst thing is that she longs for the next time, she just wants to see you, listen and play with you, she knows that you would never date a thief, you're a cop after all, what better way to get your attention?.
