Obsessed (35) Relationship Definition
As the door closed, an awkwardness filled the suddenly empty ward. Chief Kim Seok-jin rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed, and spoke.
"Well... Min Yoongi won't kill Jeon Jungkook, so don't worry too much..."
"Oh, yes..."
What, would you be foolish..? It seemed like Jungkook was comfortable calling me hyung, but I knew at first glance that he was no pushover.. haha But it's not good for a kid to be so intimidated... Chief, that Yoongi-hyung guy will do well, right..?
The chief told me not to worry, but I was a little worried.
"Thank you for your hard work... Haejoo...
Thanks to you, this case will finally be concluded.
I received the report well.
It must have been hard writing this in the hospital room, thank you for your hard work."
"Eh~ What is it haha
I have so much resentment towards Kim Taehyung.
You have to write it down without missing a single one..!
Thanks to Jungkook installing the wiretapping device, I was able to write down everything Kim Taehyung confessed to. I'm quite satisfied with this report... haha"
Please sit here, I sat the chief down on the sofa and opened the refrigerator door with the intention of getting him a drink since it seemed like Team Leader Min and Jeon Jeong-guk would be out for a long time.
What is it about Jeon Jungkook that makes him so full...
There were various types of drinks.
What should I get him... I hesitated for a moment, then carefully selected a drink and took it out. When I handed him the canned drink, Chief Kim Seok-jin, thirsty as he was, immediately opened it and took a sip.
"What happened to Kim Taehyung..?"
Today marks the first week since the incident broke out, and to be honest, I was worried about whether the investigation would proceed properly because I thought that Kim Taehyung was not a person to be taken lightly.
Chief Kim Seok-jin hesitated for a moment at my question, then began to talk about various things. Kim Tae-hyung had objected to the revocation of his arrest, but the chief explained that the media outrage made it difficult to lift his arrest. Furthermore, the raid on the research center had led to numerous other misdeeds, including corruption related to national research funds, so it seemed like minor charges were constantly being added.
"The incidents are endless.. haha"
Kim Seok-jin looked at the distant mountains outside the window, sighed, and then chuckled as if he found it absurd.
There were many other mistakes besides the hunting ritual... Well, I guess Kim Taehyung, my affectionate sidekick from childhood, is no more. I felt bitter, but as I remembered the chilling expression on his face from last week, a chill ran down my spine.
"First of all, Haejoo, you have successfully completed your mission as a spy.
The police will take responsibility for your treatment after this.
If you are having a hard time mentally, you can also receive psychological treatment..."
"I just... I hope the truth comes out for now...
"About my parents' death, and about the hunting festival..."
I longed for the truth to be revealed in full detail, for him to be completely isolated from the world. It was truly terrifying to realize that the gaze I'd felt in my nightmares belonged to Kim Taehyung, but he was locked up, and that somehow brought me comfort. And having Jungkook by my side was reassuring...
"I stake the honor of the police on that point,
I'll do my best to reveal it. Don't worry too much.."
As the chief spoke, I felt a lump in my throat begin to dissolve. It felt like a success that the Badger Club had been shattered, and now that I knew what had happened to my parents, I hoped everything would come to light. I'd been covering it up for too long. Shaking off the dust that had cluttered my memories and setting things right now was the happy ending I'd worked so hard to come up with.
"Actually, I was worried because the mission given to you was not an easy one. Detective Jeon Jeong-guk seemed to be assisting me well, but it seemed like he was putting a lot of effort into you...
"How have things been with Detective Jeon Jungkook?"
Chief Kim Seok-jin suddenly asked about Jeon Jeong-guk.Ah... I have a feeling this part is going to bother me, but how should I respond...?
“I think I got along well with Jungkook.
He does have a bit of a childish side though...
Other than that, I liked that he took good care of everything.
To be honest, my first impression wasn't that great, so I didn't have high expectations... haha"
Because Jungkook has been so good to me all this time... When I thought of Jungkook, I felt my cheeks flush slightly.What if the chief finds out about this?I was slightly embarrassed. The chief's gaze, glancing briefly, was fierce. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I pretended to be tired and covered my cheeks with my hands.
My feelings for Jungkook were certain, but I felt like I couldn't reveal the truth yet because I thought he'd get in trouble for no reason.
"Your mission as a spy will be over once the investigation is completed~"
"Yeah, that's right... haha"
"My special agent status will soon be lifted...
You can do whatever you want now..
You must have been worried a lot about whether or not Jungkook would accept you."
At the chief's words, I dropped the hands that were covering my face.
"What did you say, Chief...?"
"Because it's a private matter
I don't think I should be wondering about this,
"They're both my subordinates, so I was a bit nervous...haha"
Oh my god... Damn it... I thought I didn't show it... I'm screwed...
I was so embarrassed.
"How long have you known that chief?"
"There were signs from the time you changed your manager to Jeon Jungkook and started to contact me less often. maybe?"
"Oh... Really...?"
Anyway...is this human a fox or a wolf?
I'm so insensitive... ㅜㅠ
. . .
Meanwhile, Yoongi dragged Jungkook out of the hospital room and quietly took him to the hospital rooftop. Fortunately, there was no one on the quiet rooftop. Yoongi got a coffee from a vending machine and gave it to Jungkook before sitting him down on a bench. After checking for a nearby sign that said "smoking area," Yoongi took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Be honest~ How many times have you been here??"
"Huh...? What?"
Jeongguk's eyes wavered slightly.
"You two aren't usually close.
Since when?
"I've been this close with Agent Haejoo..."
Since when... This timing is so ambiguous...?
Jeongguk could only mumble and was unable to give a clear answer.
"Hey, is there something you can't tell me?
Just be honest.. "
"Brother, that's what I mean... Since when... It's a bit unclear to say..."
"What the heck?? So you two aren't officially dating?"
At Yoongi's words, Jeongguk's round eyes rolled as if he was considering a response. In the brief silence, Yoongi exhaled a puff of white smoke. Through the hazy smoke, Yoongi's eyes sparkled.
"That's right,
I think we're dating, but I don't think he's doing it."
Jungkook took a sip of coffee and sighed deeply. Yoongi raised one eyebrow, looking at Jungkook, who looked somewhat lonely.
He claimed to be the person in charge of Haeju, and said that he went to Agent Haeju's house the day before the incident... This kid... met his master...?
Jungkook, a free-spirited man, wasn't the type to have a fixed relationship. He was the type to meet people as they came, and if not, he wouldn't. Yoongi found the fact that Jungkook was putting so much effort into Haejoo both surprising and welcome.
"You look like you're a total protector of Haejoo right now..
When I look closely, it seems like you have quite a lot of things in your hospital room. Our Jeon Jungkook comes here from time to time to take care of Haejoo, and he feels sad that you seem to be the only one dating... What's going on with our Jungkook..?
Is your nose pierced?... Did I do something wrong?
Was our Jeongguk, the best in the world, someone who could be so easily exploited?
Anyway, it's so funny, so funny.."
Yoongi, stubbing out his cigarette on the ashes, sat down next to Jeongguk. As Yoongi sat closer, Jeongguk seemed slightly nervous, straightening his back and adjusting his posture.
"Hey, Jeon Jungkook... I'll let it go that you secretly met Haejoo all this time.
What happened? Blow it quickly.
Are you still working on it?
Or maybe you didn't have time to define your relationship with Haejoo because you had to deal with him first?"
Yoongi pressed Jeongguk. Jeongguk couldn't really answer. That was understandable, because what Yoongi said was right.
""Did you sleep with Haejoo by any chance...?"
"Ah, uh. No, that, that's hyung...um..."
Jeong-guk, who was hit hard, stuttered.
"You didn't just unilaterally rush in or attack me, did you..?"
"Brother, even so, what are you talking about...!!
That's absolutely not the case?!!
He, and Haejoo also told me that she wanted to live with me!
He likes me too..!"
"Oh, really...?"
When Jungkook got angry, Yoongi looked at him with interest.
Jungkook's excuses were a bit pathetic... Yoongi thought for a moment, then the corners of his mouth went up. Jungkook frowned and placed a hand on his forehead.
""I just wanted to protect him. He was lonely living there, and it seemed dangerous for him to be a spy... That's why I wanted to protect him."
"and...?"
"It was good, no, I still like it..
But it was a bit difficult because Haejoo didn't accept it well...
That's okay. It's okay."I can be by your side"
After finishing speaking, Jungkook let out a deep sigh, and Yoongi didn't seem to like it. So Yoongi spoke urgently. Since it's urgent to sort this out quickly, I have to nag him. Right..?
"Hey you little shit, behave yourself. Don't be so...
Clearly sort out your relationship now.
I know it was hard for Haejoo to accept your feelings during that time,
Now that I'm relieved of my special agent duties, things will be a little different."
"I wonder...?"
"Yeah, that's right, take action quickly.
If you stay silent, you'll miss Haejoo...?
Now there is no connection.
I think he'll be really cold-hearted when he cuts Haeju.
What are you going to do if you can't catch Mr. Haeju?
At Yoongi's words, Jeongguk's face darkened. Sigh... Is it because we've never had a serious relationship before... What should I do with this guy...? Yoongi chose to quickly wrap up the conversation rather than continue talking.
“I’ll wait for the chief and Haejoo. Let’s go in quickly.
And I'm not telling you to break up..?
I'm cheering you on, so do your best...! Okay? Alright, Jeon Jungkook, fighting!!"
"Okay, thanks, bro.."
Jungkook barely smiled slightly at Yoongi's words.Cheer up, Jjasha!Yoongi got up from the bench after Jungkook patted him on the shoulder. Jungkook followed along, shoulders slumped, as Yoongi took the lead.
