The 'Elegant' detective

The light of dawn seeped into Evi's room and lit it up when the cold breeze hit her Face through the binds.

"Mmhh..... It's already morning?" She looked at her phone.

"Yea...I don't have classes today." After squirming for 20 minutes Evi got up and went to wash Her face.

"Why did Shin call me...?" She mumbled while wiping her face.

"Yeah, that's also my question! Did you cause another trouble?"

She turned around to see Krey sitting on her window,

"KYAAHHH!!! YOU SHI-WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Evi backed off with a jolt.

"Hey, hey!! Lower your voice down a little. Gosh, my ears!" He rubbed his ears.

"Evi, What happened?? Are you ok?" Grison said from downstairs.

"Crap" Krey panicked for a moment.

"No dad! I was just shocked! It's just a manhua I was reading haha! I'm coming down after cleaning." She shouted from upstairs.

"Ohoo! For a second, I thought you'd say my name."

"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm only letting you off cause You have the answers to my dreams. And also...." She turned away.

"....Also??" He leaned over.

"Also cause you're not a murderer. So I'll let you off." She closed her eyes since it was hard for her to behave well with him.

"I'm also letting you off 'cause you're similar to my dream. You've seen my face. There's no way I'd let you walk freely." He looked around with his hands inside his pocket.

"Why did you come here? Should I just hand you over to the police now?" Evi was annoyed.

"Do I need a reason? Just wanted to check. What's your name by the way?" Krey said while taking off his helmet.

"W-why would I say it to a Pervert like you?" She looked away while blushing. "That freaking face of his!" She cursed him in her mind.

"Evi Tara? " Krey said while looking at the ID on her table.

"You!!!! Get out! You have no business here," She started pushing him but krey pulled her hand and shoved her onto the bed!

"Hey, what do u thi-" Krey's face touched her neck. She could feel his lips and nose touching her nape...

"Ah! S-stop! What're...you doing?" Her body shivered and turned rosy.

"Ahhhh you don't smell like a human!" He glanced at her to see her flustered face. He smirked and whispered in her ear "Hmm Evi?"

"Hng..!!!! S-shut up!!! Let go or I'll call dad!"

"I'm surprised to see this side of you. you were like a furious tigress that night! Now you're like a wet cat!" He scoffed.

"Evi?? Are you not done yet? Breakfast is getting cold." Griso knocked on her door.

A Loud Thud and banging noise came from the room and Evi opened the door. "Good morning dad! Haha! I was too taken aback by my manhua Sorry, let's go eat!" Evi said with an awkward smile and went down.

"Pffff the way she panicked, pffftt...!!" krey held back his laughter while hanging on the pipe beside the window since Evi threw him out of the room through there.

"Ahh, it's so fun teasing her. Cute tigress. Pffthaha!" He silently laughed.

"How's everything going? Your classes and friends?" Her dad asked.

"...Just like usual! I'm only friends with the 3 of them you know." She took a sip of the coffee.

"I see!! What about graduation?"

"Ahh yeah!! Not much time left, 4 months?"

"Hmm...My daughter's all grown up huh? So do you wish to do anything after graduation?"

"Not sure yet. I'm sure I'll think of something after graduation."

"Ok! I'll be going then, take care. Don't do anything reckless." He patted her head while leaving.

"Sure!! Goodbye, take care!"

"phew!! I couldn't get his face out of my mind during the whole breakfast time. What is he thinking?? That Stupid..... Idiot!!"

Evi said while covering her face with one hand as her cheeks turned red.

"Ah, Yeah! I left my groceries at the shop yesterday. I need to pick them up!" She stood up to go out.

In the store-

"Hi, I left my t- Woah!" Someone interrupted Evi and stood in front of her.

"Ring these up, please!" The tall person in front of her said.

"I need to see your ID!" The cashier asked.

Evi moved closer to take a peek at his ID from behind and Her eyes bowled out.

"Rowan Alec?? Is he detective 'Rowan Alec'?? He's buying cigarettes and alcohol??? What a sight of dad's elegance!" Evi thought to herself while smirking.

Rowan turned behind in hurry and bumped into Evi as His bag fell from his hand and the bottles crashed on the floor making it soaked in alcohol as well as Evi's pants and shoes.

"Ah! I sincerely apologize I didn't Se- You?" Rowan looked at her with surprise.

"Huh? Do you know me?!" Evi smiled with confusion.

After taking back her things from the shop, Rowan and Evi Sat on a bench to wipe her pants and shoes.

"Ah! I wanted to pay for the laundry but you won't take it. I'm feeling bad about this!" (Rowan)

"It's fine, don't worry! So my dad brags about me at his work?"(Evi)

"Haha, almost all the officers know about you. I also heard about you from other coworkers so I noticed right away. But please keep it a secret from officer Grison will you? Rowan said while closing one of his eyes.

"About what? Elegant Rowan buying cigarettes and alcohol?" She smirked "Don't worry, I won't."

"I appreciate that," Rowan said while taking off his glasses.

"You.....You really look like someone I know, except for your eyes and hair."

"....Really? Is it a friend?" Rowan smiled.

"Nah! Not really, Just.... someone I know" Evi smirked.

"I almost blurted it out. His face is really similar to that thief."(Evi's mind)

"I see...Ok, so I'll see you around. You should head home too. It's getting late. Can I take you out for lunch one day? I want to make up for today's incident." Rowan said while standing up.

"Yeah, sure!" She nodded.

"I'll apologize again for today. But it might be fate that we've met like this." Rowan said with a soft smile and gentle stare as the smooth air moved his brown hair.

"I-I guess?" Evi shrugged.

"I'll get going then, goodbye" He walked away with a smile.

"He really resembles him. Even his height. Yeah right! Resemble my ass! All I'm thinking about is him because of this morning. How can This sweet pie resemble that cowshit!... let's just go home." She walked alone on the busy street under the orange afternoon sunlight.
