A few days later, they land their first homicide together. Jongin’s first case. Taemin refuses his offer to drive, ignoring Jongin's protestations that android systems are designed with the ability to perfectly steer all vehicles with ease.
“I can’t trust that,” Taemin says, while making a big show of steering with one hand. “You can drive in five months.”
“So, why did you request my activation, then?” Jongin asks.
“I wanted someone to boss around,” Taemin tells him. “You know I’m the youngest detective on the force?”
“Seriously,” Jongin says. “And, androids are ageless, but I am definitely more wise than you. So, essentially, I’m older.”
Taemin just hums and turns up the radio.

They crack the case in three days.
The next one only takes two.
A month later, they’ve closed three more cases.
Taemin and Jongin top the rankings board and Taemin has gotten eight free dinners out of it (Jongin doesn’t eat, so Taemin has claimed his winnings along with his own).
“We’re so awesome,” Taemin crows, halfway through his ninth dinner. “I'm such a forward thinker. Now everyone regrets sticking to human partners when they clearly aren’t as capable-”
“You’re saying you couldn’t have done it without me? And insulting your own abilities at the same time?” Jongin fiddles with his napkin.
“You think I'm like those other detectives? I'm telling you, you're lucky to have me.” Taemin shovels a spoonful of mashed potato into his mouth. “But, I guess I’m saying that it takes two. So, thanks.”
“Okay,” Jongin says, smiling. “You’re welcome.”

“Captain, I need you to authorise the activation of this android as my partner.”
“Detective, you know I can't do that. This isn't what the androids were designed or commissioned for.”
“Would you rather I went out in the field alone?”
“Detective-”
“I think you know as well as I do that your other detectives can't keep up with me. But this android can. We can revolutionise this job.”
“Why this android? What's special about him?”
“I saw him. He cares.”

“Now will you let me drive?”
“Shut up, Jongin.”
