1 week passed and now its Christmas day!

Shiho is busy cooking foods in the kitchen since their friends will come over at the mansion and celebrate it with them. She's very excited to see them and spend Christmas day together with them. This is the first time she will celebrate it with her friends because last Christmas they celebrated it with their family and she celebrated christmas alone.

Ever since Shinichi went back to his normal life he will spend Christmas and other holidays with Ran, ofcourse there's no surprise there but she lowkey wish He will spend it with her and Hakase but then the reality hits her that it's impossible because Shinichi is living his best life.

After cooking she clean the living room and dining area so everything is all set when their friends arrived.

Shinichi on the other hand is on his room playing music with his wireless headphones. He's singing and jamming alone when he received a message from one of his flings. He open it and see a naked photo of the woman saying 'miss me?' Shinichi smirked and replied.

Shiho is done already on cleaning the house, she went to her room and take rest.

'Should I give to Kudo kun his Christmas gift? But I don't think he'll accept it.' Her thoughts.

Her phone is Ringing and it's her cousin Masumi. She answered it.

"Merry Christmas Shi!" Masumi happily greeted.

"Merry Christmas too."

"So how are you?" She asked.

"I'm good." Shiho said.

"Wish I was there to celebrate Christmas with Kaito and others, it sounds so fun!"

"I'm excited to see them too."

"Are you serving fish?" Masumi giggled.

"I want Kaito to be alive you know."

Masumi laughs.

"He's a weirdo. He's scared of fish."

"I know."

The two of them keeps talking for minutes and then Shiho decided to end their conversation.

Heiji, Kaito, Saguru and Akako arrived all together. They're staying in the living room and Shiho entertain them. They're talking and laughing while Shinichi is still in his room.

"Should I call him now?" Shiho asked

Heiji looks at her.

"Yeah tell him to get down here and stop isolating himself on his room!" Kaito said.

Shiho smiled and went upstairs. She knock his door and wait for him to open it.

She's waiting for him while holding a small gift. She decided to give it to him now even the exchanging gifts aren't happening yet downstairs.

It was a brown brand new wallet she saw at the mall, she thought he would like it so she brought it. She's hoping he will accept it but she's ready if he wouldn't accept her present.

Shinichi open his door and see her standing outside holding a small gift. She looks at him.

"They're waiting for you to come downstairs." She said.

"Ok." Is the only word he said.

Shinichi is about to close his door when Shiho started to speak again.

"Wa-wait Kudo kun!"

She hand over the gift to him. He's staring, Shiho can see him wants to refuse her gift. He look at her into the eyes.

"I don't have a present for you." He coldly said.

"It's alright. I don't mind." She smiled.

She really didn't mind, she's not expecting him to give her a present. Shinichi gets the gift from her.

"Thanks." He said.

He close the door and Shiho feels happy finally he accepted something from her, this gives her hope that everything will be back to normal. She went downstairs and join their friends in the dining area, after a few minutes Shinichi joined them eating. After eating Shiho put the use plates in the kitchen sink. And went in the living room and see their friends are now exchanging their gifts.

"I thought we will start at exactly 12 midnight? What happened?" Shiho asked.

"Kaito can't wait." Hakuba said.

"Yeah It's already 10:40 PM now we don't need to wait for 12 midnight!" Kaito said.

They open their gifts. Shiho received a guerlain perfume from Heiji, bracelet from Kaito, airpods from Saguru and Akako gives her a biscuit cutter designed like a beaker, test tube, microscope and other science equipments. She thanked them all.

"Oi Shinichi what's your Christmas gift for Shiho?" Kaito asked.

They all look in Shinichi's direction. Suddenly the door bell rings. Shinichi stand up.

"I got this." He said.

He went to the entrance door and open the door he see a woman who's wearing a black slinky wrap strappy bodycon dress they share a kissed and went straight to the living room.

All of them is staring at the girl along side with Shinichi.

"Guys this is Brooklyn." Shinichi said.

Brooklyn looks at them and gave them a smile.

"Hello everyone." She said.

Shiho see their hand holding hands. Shinichi and Brooklyn walk and sit next to each other.

There was an awkward silent because no one dares to speak. Heiji is looking at Shiho.

"Shiho can you bring us an ice cream?" Heiji asked.

She looks at him and nods. She stand up and went to the kitchen. Heiji looks at Shinichi straight in the eye, he is giving him a serious look. Kaito see what's happening so he decided to speak.

"LETS PLAY A MUSIC! Y'ALL ARE BORING!" He yelled.

"Good idea!" Akako said.

Kaito plays a music in his phone. And they started chatting again. Shiho went back with ice creams in a tray, she put the tray on the center table and sit again in the couch. Everyone gets their ice cream and eat them.

Shinichi looks at Brooklyn and get the fusae paper bag hiding on his chair side. He hand over it to Brooklyn, everyone looks at them.

"Shinichi oh my God! You don't have to! Oh my!" She gets the paper bag and open it. She see the expensive handbag and hug Shinichi so tight.

"Do you like it?" He asked.

"Ofcourse! You're the best!" Brooklyn said. And break their hugged.

Brooklyn lean close to him and they shared a lingering kiss Shiho wants to look away but for some reason she didn't.

After few more minutes, their friends said their goodbyes and leave the mansion But Brooklyn stay and went to Shinichi's room, Shiho is cleaning all the mess in the living room and Shinichi walks in. She looks at him holding a fusae paperbag. He handed it to her.

"Merry Christmas!" Shinichi greeted.

Shiho keeps staring at him.

"This is my present for you." He smiled.

Shiho gets the paper bag from him.

"Is this real?' She asked herself in her mind.

"Open it now" he said.

"Thank you Kudo kun." She smiled.

She open the paper bag and see a box inside it she take it and open it and see a prisoner uniform with her name written in it. She looks at him and he's smiling.

"Nice isn't it? It's perfectly suits you!" He said.

"You should be thankful for me because you're not in Jail." He added.

"Yeah. Thank you for this present. Thanks for reminding me I am a criminal." She said coldly.

"Ofcourse! I will always remind who you are." He smirked.

Shinichi left her and went upstairs. Shiho continue cleaning the living room and afterwards she went to her room holding the gift he gave.

'Atleast he gave me a gift.' She smiled weakly.

Her phone rings. She see Heiji is calling. She sighed and answer it.

"Hey" she said.

"Are you ok?" He asked worried.

"Ofcourse! Why wouldn't I be ok?" She asked.

"You can act in front of Kaito and Saguru but not in me."

"I am really fine, thanks for checking."

"What did he say?" He asked.

"What?"

"Don't act like you don't know, I was still outside when he handed you that damn Prisoner uniform!" He said.

"It's ok. He's just joking."

"Joking? Giving you a prisoner uniform isn't a good joke!"

"I know but I understand him, he's mad because he thought I sent him the knives set."

Heiji sighed she can hear him.

"Look if he disrespect you again leave that mansion and go back to London understand? Or else I'll tell Aunt Mary."

"Heiji..."

"I know you love him and you want to help him to get his sh*t together but c'mon he's too much! He should be thankful for you because you're in his side taking care of him."

"And i know you're concern about me, but please let's understand him and give him another chance? Please..."

"This will be the last chance ok? I don't want to tolerate his rudeness towards you."

"Thank you." She said.

"Goodnight Shiho." He said.

"Night." She said and ended the call.

She lay down on her bed and close her eyes.
