Captivated (19) Iron Wall Failure
The Black Sea is crazy...I should have put up a wall, but I missed the food Jungkook made a little bit, so I ended up coming here.
Jungkook's house was the same. Nothing much had changed. When Jungkook came in, he left the soup on the stove and went to wash up. He told me to turn off the fire when it boils... I sat at the table and shook my sweaty hair from carrying Jungkook on the bike.Why... why am I shaken by him..?I feel like an idiot for being shaken by the fact that I've been living well without anyone around me.
The buckwheat noodle soup boiled quickly, as if it had just been prepared. Right, that guy must have stayed up all night too... Suddenly, I thought of Jeon Jungkook, who had prepared a sumptuous feast all night.
I could just take out the side dishes, so I did, scooped out the rice, and set down the spoons. Over the course of that week, I felt like I'd gotten used to everything. After a while, a washed-up Jeon Jungkook showed up, wearing a white T-shirt and sweatpants.
"Oh, everything is roughly ready, thank you~"
side..!
Jeon Jungkook kissed her cheek. Her face lit up.ah..... I suddenly remembered why I was avoiding this Shaki.I'm really crazy, why did I come here...One of the things that has been consistent since the first day I met him is that he is really hard to communicate with and that he really stimulates me.
Come to your senses... You have to come to your senses...
Jeon Jungkook rubbed the cheek he had kissed with the back of his hand and wiped it away.
"You said we were friends. Why are you like this?"
"We're still friends...
But should I say that it crossed the line between friendship and friendship for me a little bit..?
“Where is it between friends and lovers?”
Seriously... In his mind, I think I've gone beyond being a friend... What should I do? I'm still below a friend... That's why I didn't want to fall for what he was doing.
First, a boring thought... Let's think about the topic of a paper I read recently... Let's think about a paper in Spanish that was particularly difficult. What was the topic...? What was the point...? Ugh.... I can't concentrate... I'll put my pounding heart to sleep for a moment... and think about how to deal with this.
First of all, since it's my responsibility...
Sigh~
He handed his phone to Jeon Jungkook, who was sitting across the table.
"Give me your number.
I'll contact you if I need to, but don't contact me first."
"Oh, that was good..!"
Jeongguk happily dials my number and presses the call button. A smile spread across his face as he confirms and saves my number.Dude, is it that good...?
"I will talk to the chief again about today's meeting.
And, privately, you are not my friend, my lover, or anything.
Didn't we only spend a week together?
"Then you can spend more time with me from now on.."
"Huh, me? Why would I be with you?
This is mind-boggling... I don't know at what point he got to me. I don't think he's insincere... or is he just letting it slip here and there? My head is spinning.
"Why do I feel like I'm getting ahead of myself?
Who was the first person to kiss my cheek and then come in...?
"what?"
My face flushed again as I remembered that evening. I was so embarrassed that I couldn't speak anymore. I guess I messed with the wrong guy.
"Heukhaeju, anyway, it's awkward... Hey, I'll stop talking...
Let's eat quickly before the soup gets cold...
"If I keep going like this, I'll waste all my time in the morning."
That guy is incredibly shameless. He took a sip of Jeongguk's soup and started eating, saying that it was really delicious and whoever made it.Phew... I should hurry up and eat something before I go. Oh my head...
. . .
That afternoon, I immediately contacted Chief Kim Seok-jin.
"Chief, what's going on...? Why Jeon Jungkook of all people..."
"Haejoo, I feel like someone's following me. Since the last time I raided a hunting site, someone's been following me. If I'm not careful, you might be in danger, so contact me through Jeon Jeongguk."
"But still... I was locked up with Jeon Jungkook for a week back then,
It's awkward to meet again......"
"What's wrong? Did something happen...?"
"Oh, that's not it....."
"Just as I was worrying, Jeon Jungkook made the first suggestion. Since we happen to know each other, I thought it would be better than sending someone else in charge. Is it okay to send Jeon Jungkook?"
"Yes, yes... Of course^^;;"
When he asked me what happened, I was momentarily flustered. I just let it slide because I knew Jeon Jungkook was just talking nonsense and there was no need to bring it up.
By the way, the chief was being followed... This was the first time the police had directly raided a hunting festival. Perhaps that's why the Badger Association sent someone to follow them to deal with it... I'm not a full-time employee yet, so I don't know the details. Since someone was following Chief Kim Seok-jin, I had no choice but to step aside.
""I obtained the drugs at the hunting scene this time. Since Jeon Jungkook has a similar specialty, it would be very helpful if we could cooperate with the investigation. Did you check the files on the USB?"
"Yes, I checked. If you send it to me, I will organize the information and send it to you. When will the analysis results be available?"
"I'll pass it on to you next time. I hope you had a good time at the regular meeting this time..
"I'll send you a report when I get back."
"Yes, I understand."
A few days later, the Badger's regular meeting was approaching.
Because of the recent raid on the Hunting Festival, this regular meeting seemed destined for significant discussion. Originally, it was supposed to be a formal dinner after the Hunting Festival, but now it was the first meeting since the police raid. Perhaps someone I assumed was higher up might show up. With the Badger Club in turmoil after the police raid, now was the perfect time for him to reveal his identity.
If Jeon Jungkook finds out, he'll tell me not to go again...? Every single thing I do makes me think of Jeon Jungkook. That fact annoys me a little.
According to the report sent by Chief Kim Seok-jin, those arrested this time are several working-level members, including Kwak Jin-su, who recruited me into the organization. The Badgers' Association has been hit hard by the leak of information, and the police are anxious about arresting key figures. Under these circumstances, my attendance at the regular meeting has become extremely important to the police.
And Kwak Jin-soo hasn't been in contact with the group since last weekend. The group probably knows Jin-soo has been arrested. If they had run into Jeong-guk there, I don't think they would have been able to get away with it this time. Jeong-guk was pretty scary in the interrogation room, after all.
How should I explain my whereabouts over the past week at the meeting? I guess it's correct to say that I was investigated but released, right? There's no way to tell if I was actually caught or what I did over the past week. For one reason or another, going to the regular meeting was really awkward.
Especially, I'm not the type to make close friends due to my personality, but since Jinsu, the only person I knew, was gone, I was sure I'd be sitting there all alone and feeling awkward. What should I say... Ah, this is uncomfortable... I don't want to go... ㅜㅠ But I couldn't avoid it.
When Jinsoo disappeared, the group of raccoons sent me a text message. It was my personal, socially open phone number, different from the one I'd given Jeongguk earlier.
[Member of Heukhaeju. This meeting will be held at the Safari Hall of the 000 Hotel.
I will see you at the appointed time.]
I read the text and quietly put my phone down. Sigh... I have to go. I said I would do it, so I have to take responsibility.
And on another phone, there was a text from Jeon Jungkook.
[Can I talk to you?]
I told you not to contact me first,
Seriously, what should I do with this guy..ㅋㅋㅋ I just ignored Jeon Jungkook's text.
