Kapitel 20: Criminals #2
"If you don't grab my hand in three seconds then I am running away alone."
"O-Okay."
Moonlight Flower grabbed the hand of the angry Tae-hyuk and climbed the wall.
Then both of them ran away with all their strength.
***
Tae-hyuk arrived at a safe place and calmed his breathing.
Whether it was because they wanted the reward for catching the thief or a holiday, the policemen were really persistent. They had ran for over an hour and barely managed to escape.
"Pant…! Keok…! Really great stamina… How are you fine after running…?"
"Ahaha. I have confidence in my stamina."
However, she couldn't do something as basic as climb a wall. A strange thief. After confirming that they were safe, Moonlight Flower made an odd expression. Then she asked.
"Why did you save me?"
"… I wasn't trying to catch you. Is this answer enough? Besides, I'm also a thief."
"Then why were you chasing me?"
"Didn't you try to rob my house a few hours ago? This is my area. It is a violation of the rules to invade my area. I was trying to tell you this."
The movements of Moonlight Flower stopped completely.
Tae-hyuk inwardly smiled with satisfaction.
He had met a lot of thieves in prison, and learned that they had their own laws.
Was it because he saved her from being caught? Moonlight Flower's expression softened.
"… Eung. I didn't go anywhere today."
Tae-hyuk had completely caught her.
"Someone aimed for my house and I was robbed today. It really wasn't you?"
Moonlight Flower responded "Yes." in a small voice.
She was surprisingly naive. It was a good type to be scammed.
The control of the conversation was completely in Tae-hyuk's hands. She was physically better than Tae-hyuk, but he had 10 years of experience.
"Are you telling me the truth? You might have hidden the stolen item somewhere on your body."
Tae-hyuk said with a smile. It was a speech that would touch the person's hidden intentions.
"T-Then check it!"
Moonlight Flower huffed angrily.
Tae-hyuk swallowed his saliva. He hadn't expected that it would come to this. She was wearing leather clothes that exposed her body. There was not much space to hide anything.
"Why, just do it!"
Moonlight Flower came up to Tae-hyuk, grabbed his hand, and placed it on her chest. It felt like he was touching a soft marshmallow.
Tae-hyuk's face reddened.
"Nothing? Is this still lacking? Do you want to check anywhere else?"
Tae-hyuk blushed and coughed.
"C-Cough. There doesn't seem to be anything."
His tone had changed to speaking in honorifics.
"In addition, I think that you are mistaken about something. Come along with me for a moment."
Moonlight Flower grabbed Tae-hyuk's hand and pulled him back to the original location. It was the place where she tried to cross the wall.
"I know that you think I was trying to rob this house… Oh, don't get me wrong! It is just my hobby! This is actually my house!"
She emphasized it again.
"My house!"
"Ah, yes."
Moonlight Flower even took a key out from her pocket and opened the gate.
"Look. Right?"
So she was trying to climb the wall of her own house.
'Indeed, Moonlight Flower… I really can't understand her. Really…'
"By the way, are you really a thief? It is suspicious. Aren't you going to show me proof?"
Moonlight Flower's eyes narrowed with doubt.
Tae-hyuk quickly pulled out the Demon Revealing Mirror from his pocket and prepared a skill.
Then he said.
"Well. Let me show you the evidence. "
Tae-hyuk started slowly walking and bumped Moonlight Flower in the shoulder.
[Robbery has been used.]
-Please select the item you want to steal!
'Now, let's steal something suitable.'
Tae-hyuk looked at the Demon Revealing Mirror to see what would come up.
All of a sudden, Moonlight Flower rushed towards Tae-hyuk.
"Wah! What is that thing? Cute!"
It was a mirror with a demon engraved on it. It was the first time he had seen a reaction like this.
Tae-hyuk chose randomly from the list due to Moonlight Flower.
'W-what! What did I steal this time?'
The confused Tae-hyuk searched through his pocket, and touched a piece of soft cloth.
'D-Don't tell me…?'
Fortunately, it was the butterfly mask on her face.
Tae-hyuk pulled it out and waved it.
"Uh, when did you steal this?"
Moonlight Flower ran to Tae-hyung, grabbed the mask, and put it on her face again.
"D-Did you see?"
"I didn't see anything."
"You saw! My face!"
Tae-hyuk was at a loss for words. In the first place, the butterfly mask was already half falling off. Did she think it would hide her identity?
"Anyway, do you believe that I'm a thief now?"
Moonlight Flower placed her hands on her waist and turned her head to the side.
"Bah. Your skills still have a long way to go."
The one speaking was someone who couldn't even climb the wall of her own house.
Tae-hyuk just extended his hand.
"Either way, this is a relationship. How about exchanging information among business partners?"
Thieves had their own network. It ranged from places to dispose of stolen goods to equipment deals. Even if it was still early, Moonlight Flower was a thief. It was likely that she knew more information than Tae-hyuk.
This was what Tae-hyuk was aiming for.
"Yes…"
Moonlight Flower moaned pathetically.
Tae-hyuk decided to help her make a decision.
"In exchange for becoming business partners… I'll take what I just saw to the grave."
"… You did see! Bah! It can't be helped. Should I give you my cell phone number?"
Tae-hyuk nodded.
Moonlight Flower said in a strange voice.
"Wah. You got a phone number through this outrageous method."
Tae-hyuk made a dumbfounded expression and held out his cell phone.
Then Moonlight Flower approached Tae-hyuk.
He could feel something soft leaning against his arm. Tae-hyuk coughed. He couldn't control the blood in his body due to the good food that An Eun-young made.
His face turned red as he felt Moonlight Flower's soft body.
"An old fashioned phone… By the way, why are you blushing? How old are you?"
"It is my 2nd year of high school."
"The cell phone seems to be the same age. At any rate, I am your Noona! Cutie, what is your name?"
"Seo Tae-hyuk."
"Noona is called Moonlight Flower. A pseudonym."
Moonlight Flower then left her contact details in Tae-hyuk's phone.
'Hrmm. Her real name is Yoo Ha-yang.'
Moonlight Flower had registered her number with her real name, not her pseudonym. He was starting to doubt whether she really wanted to hide her identity.
Tae-hyuk sent a short text to the number entered by Moonlight Flower. It was to exchange contact details.
'Anyway, I believe that Moonlight Flower is a thief. I can take advantage of this.'
"Then, Tae-hyuk! By careful when walking the streets at night!"
"Yes. Moonlight Flower noona should be careful not to get hurt when falling from the wall. Be careful."
"I didn't fall!"
Tae-hyuk said goodbye and started walking home.
To Moonlight Flower, stealing was a 'hobby.' It didn't matter if she was just a clumsy novice now, as her growth potential was tremendous.
'She has really good physical capabilities… I can use this.'
Tae-hyuk smirked.
Above all, her chest was big.
