Captivated (34) Team Leader Min

"Mr. Kim Taehyung,

You are hereby arrested on charges of kidnapping, assault, and murder. You have the right to an attorney, the right to defend yourself, and the right to refuse to testify against yourself.You can apply to the court for a review of the legality of the arrest..."

I turned my gaze down the cliff, leaving behind the scene of Kim Taehyung being arrested. Here, I could see the R&V Research Center I'd passed that morning. Everything had changed so much from the scenery I'd seen as a child, except for the sky, which had remained the same. My heart became complicated, filled with all sorts of regrets.

I remembered my childhood that I had forgotten and the images of my mom and dad that I had missed.

When I was a little kid, whenever I peeped open the lab door, my parents, still in lab coats, would rush out. Mom, worried I might touch something dangerous, would rush out, while Dad, wondering why I was so worried, would scoop me up in his arms and show me around the lab. As I hung on his shoulder, exploring, Kim Taehyung's face would flash past, laughing and playing pranks behind his back.

Suddenly, I felt a surge of sadness as I saw the white lab coat my parents were wearing overlap with the lab coat I was wearing as a researcher.

I always thought I was living well,

Was I really living well?

In the end, it felt like fate that I ended up following a similar path to my mom and dad... or like a shackle. As I looked at the scenery from the edge of the cliff as it grew darker, tears welled up in my eyes again.

Sob sob....

"Haejoo, you should go too.. You're hurt a lot... You should go to the hospital..?"

Jungkook, who had handed Kim Taehyung over to the other officers, called me, but I couldn't move an inch, overcome with sadness. Jungkook saw me shedding tears and came closer, allowing me to lean on him. For a while, until the sun set and darkness fell, I wept beneath the sky I'd longed for.

"Hey, Jeon Jungkook, what are you doing instead of working right now...?

"Did you do something wrong to Agent Haejoo? Why are you making the child cry like this.."

Team Leader Min Yoongi's voice was heard from behind. The scene became crowded with police officers arriving from all over to assist.

"Ah.. that Yoongi-hyung.. that.. Haeju.."

Jungkook was flustered by Yoongi-hyung's sudden appearance, but he didn't let go of my shoulder that was wrapped around him. As Jungkook turned around and tried to say something, another affectionate voice cut in.

""How about Detective Jeon Jeong-guk take Hae-joo to the hospital while we're at it?"

Chief Kim Seok-jin stepped forward and studied me for a long time. My hair was disheveled, my lips were swollen, my clothes were torn and tattered, and my pants were soaked with blood. Every inch of me was a miserable sight.

"Detective Jeon Jeong-guk is a Black Sea agentComplete all the hospitalization procedures and come back slowly. I'll listen to the report in detail when I get back.

And... Haeju, you really worked hard. Thank you."

Chief Kim Seok-jin patted my shoulder and immediately turned around to begin directing the investigation.

"Okay, Team 1, search from outside the lab.

Arrest all those who escape.

Team 2, um, Team Leader Min Yoongi! Are you still searching for the golf cc from earlier...?

"Yes. The scene was handed over to the National Forensic Service.

We left a minimal number of people on that side and came over here."

"Then, Teams 2 and 3, go down to the underground lab at the entrance and clean up the scene and collect evidence until the National Forensic Service arrives..."

"yes!!"

Leaving Chief Kim Seok-jin behind as he cleaned up the scene, Jungkook and I headed to the ambulance. However, Team Leader Min Yoon-gi also followed us, as if he had something to do.

The clifftop was a dizzying mix of lights from the numerous police cars and ambulances that had arrived. We walked through the multicolored lights. After passing several police cars, we finally reached an empty ambulance whose green light had just turned off.

Team Leader Min Yoongi looked very dissatisfied with Jeon Jungkook, who was clinging to me.

"Jeon Jungkook, you really... This is also a detective's feeling."

"Ah, bro... why again...ㅜㅠ"

"Ugh, first of all, let's take Haejoo to the hospital quickly...

Come back and talk."

Team Leader Min Yoongi's words and expression were utterly cold, but his actions belied that. He opened the door for us to board the ambulance, checked that we were safe inside, and then asked the paramedics detailed questions, such as which hospital we were going to and how to proceed with admission, before leaving.

"Even though Yoon Ki-hyung's words are a bit stilted, his heart isn't like that..

"Haha, okay.. I think so."

Even in the ambulance, I leaned against Jeongguk and we headed to the hospital.

. . .

From then on, Jungkook came to the hospital every day. He packed a lot of stuff as if he were hospitalized, and he left toiletries in the bathroom and a lot of snacks here and there. He also brought comfortable slippers and a cardigan to wear outside the hospital gown, saying he would need them in the hospital room.

Whether it was dawn or daytime, Jungkook would come to visit me from time to time, sometimes sleeping in my bed, sometimes watching TV and eating snacks next to me. As this incident was widely covered in the media, I was admitted to a single room to protect the victim, but if I had been in a six-person room, I think Jungkook would have been a huge nuisance with his constant comings and goings.

"What the heck, Jeon Jungkook, are you just slacking off and not working?

"You said you got scolded by Team Leader Min Yoongi for meeting me outside last time."

"Oh. I already wrote a report at the police station yesterday.

"Because I visited your house the day before going to the scene"

"Oh really, I told you not to come back then either.. Just come soon.. haha

“Isn’t this your house too?”

"What are you talking about, it's actually good"

Although I bickered with Jungkook in words, the truth was that I liked him coming. Without family, there was no one to constantly be with me, so the time I spent in the hospital room was quite lonely. There were no relatives to visit, and Jung Hoseok, my junior who I had become close with, was in disarray because the lab was turned upside down. Director Kim Namjoon was arrested, and senior Jiho was being investigated by the police as a related person, so naturally, my weekend plans were canceled. I couldn't really advertise my hospitalization here and there... In the end, the only person around me who would come to my hospital room was Jeon Jungkook.

"Ugh... So, did you get permission from Team Leader Min today?"

"I got permission today~

Our Black Sea agent...

He is the biggest player in this incident,

I was the one in charge so I took care of it properly..ㅋㅋㅋ

Above all, you're not a spy anymore.

Civilian Heuk Hae-ju. Can we meet privately more often now?

Jungkook comes over and kisses my cheek.

Ah, this snake-like Shaki...

"Could you please stop suddenly and unexpectedly being so skinny without warning...?"

"No, who asked me to stay with you all day...?"

"Hey, that's that..!!"

My face suddenly turned red.

The first night I was hospitalized, I was so scared to be alone. So the next day, I threw a tantrum and begged Jeongguk to stay with me. When I closed my eyes, I could picture his sinister smile and golden eyes, and because I couldn't sleep properly, I kept looking for Jeongguk. Maybe that's why Jeongguk kept coming here every now and then, even though he seemed uncomfortable.

. . .

About a week after the incident, Team Leader Min and the Chief came to visit me in the hospital. The timing was a bit unfortunate.

"Experiment"

I woke up from my sleep early in the evening to the sound of a cough. When I opened my eyes, Chief Seokjin Kim was there with Team Leader Min.

"Ah, Chief....!!! Team Leader Min Yoongi! Hello!!!"

I quickly got up from my seat.

I put on a cardigan and bowed my head to greet the chief after receiving the box of drinks he brought.Huh...?There was someone on the guardian's bed.jungkook jeon...? It seems like he came here while I was sleeping and fell asleep here. And to think that the team leader and the chief would catch him doing this...

Is this okay...?

Startled, I quickly kicked the guardian's bed with my foot.

"Whisper) Hey, Jeon Jungkook... Wake up..!! Hurry up...!!!"

"Uh...um..."

"Whisper) The chief and team leader Min Yoongi are here..!"

"What,,? No, hello...?!!"

Jungkook was startled and got up from his seat. He stood there without even putting on his shoes properly and bowed. Team Leader Min, who was looking at him with his arms crossed as if he was pathetic, spoke to Jungkook, who looked half-asleep and out of his mind.

"You said you were leaving work early because you had something to do.

What happened?"

Chief Kim Seok-jin, standing next to the angry Team Leader Min, turned his head and laughed out loud as if he found something so funny.

"Hey, Jeon Jungkook!

You don't look like you've been here once or twice.

Did you come secretly in addition to the visit you reported to me last time?

No, you actually kept coming, right? Right...?"

"No... That hyung, that... I... I, I was wrong."

Jungkook, who was mumbling as if he couldn't think of an excuse, quickly confessed to Min Yoongi.

"Oh shit... Jeon Jungkook, follow me here.."

Min Yoongi dragged Jeon Jungkook away in response to his hasty confession. For a moment, Jungkook's gaze seemed to be pleading for help, but the chief was there, and Min Yoongi's anger was so intense that I couldn't bring myself to take any action.Haha, sorry Jungkook...
