After coming to his senses and everything sunk in to his realization, Cameron quickly stood up and was about to scold Devius but before he could even say a word, Officer Chad fell down and fell asleep. He stood there with his mouth open, staring at Devius who was so comfortable on the ground.

"What the hell?" He couldn't believe what just happened.

He sighed and shook his head. He carried his partner to the car and fixed his seatbelt before driving back to his apartment. While on the way, he kept glancing at Devius who was deep in his sleep. It's already almost midnight so there were a little number of cars on the highway. When he parked the car, he turned to Officer Chad. He wanted to wake him up but suddenly found himself staring at the man who's sleeping peacefully. A moment later, he felt something weird inside his chest. It's his heart, beating faster as his eyes dropped to Devius' lips. He recalled everything that happened earlier. The accidental kiss. His soft, sweet lips on his—

"What the hell am I thinking!?" Cameron quickly shifted his gaze in front.

"Hmm? We're home already?" Devius asked when he woke up, scratching his eyes.

"Hmm." Cameron just nodded without looking at him.

Officer Chad is still feeling really dizzy as he had been drinking for quite long the whole day. He then got out of the car and wobbled inside the building. Detective Lee quickly got out too and followed his partner, assisting him to control his balance so he won't fall down the stairs. When they finally reach to their floor, they both stop at the door and turned to the room where Michael and his mom used to live. Cameron saw the sadness and worry in Devius' eyes when he looked at that direction.

"Michael's mother..." Officer Chad mumbled with his drunk voice. "...do you think we'll be able to find her? Can we save her, senior? Will we ever be able to catch the culprit?" He asked sounding a little down and helpless.

Cameron patted his partner's shoulder. "We will and we'll send that bastard to jail. No matter what happens, we will save everyone we can and give justice to ones who's lives he had taken." Detective Lee answered with determination.

Devius stood up straight and turned to Detective Lee. He stared straight to him making the latter uncomfortable. Cameron swallowed and looked to the opposite side, avoiding the officer's eyes.

"Can I asked you something, Cameron hyung?" Detective Lee furrowed his eyebrows and faced Devius because of how he addresses him. "Can we be friends?"

"What?" Cameron asked in confusion.

"We've been working together since the past weeks. Can we be friends?" His partner asked again.

"No, that's not what I mean, did you just called me hyung?"

Devius nodded. "Yeah, I heard it means brother in korean. I heard it once while watching kdrama." He answered.

"What?"

"Hmm. I don't usually watch it but since I have to work with you and you're korean, so I decided to learn some words through kdrama." Devius explained with his sleepy eyes.

Cameron is left dumbfounded. "You mean, you watched kdrama because of me?"

"Uh, yeah, I do."
