[Contest] You're Surrounded

You are surrounded 06

It's been a week since I became the youngest member of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Violent Crimes Unit 1.

If I look back at everything that's happened so far... there's nothing. There's nothing.

The only incident that could be called an incident was that a Burberry man showed up in front of a girls' high school. It wasn't that big of an incident, so only senior Jungkook and senior Hoseok went to the scene, and I spent the whole week doing menial tasks like organizing documents and cleaning the desk, which were typical of what a youngest sibling would do.

When the team leader called me, I almost instinctively answered and ran to him. The team leader was reading the case log I had written. Originally, it was supposed to be done by senior Jungkook, but he was away because of the Burberry Man incident.

As I approached his desk, the team leader looked at me quietly and spoke while waving a report in one hand.

"Can't you write one report properly? Rewrite it from the beginning. Everything!"

A total perfectionist. My team leader, who had never been angry with me for a week, got angry with me for the first time.

Feeling with my whole body that direct anger is more frightening than indirect anger, I hurriedly returned to my seat with a hiccup and an apology. Then, Senior Jeongguk, who had returned before I knew it, approached me and apologized.

"It was originally my turn to do this... sorry."

If there's anything you don't know, feel free to ask. Senior Jungkook spoke affectionately and started moving busily. No... If you look so busy, I can't even ask...

I started to revise the report, keeping an eye on the team leader who seemed unusually upset, wondering if something had happened. However, it wasn't long before I had to give in to my poor computer skills.

"This, put it up to size 10."

A familiar scent suddenly spread from behind. A spicy scent like the smell of perfume.

"And here, write it in chronological order. Like this."

When I turned around in surprise, I saw Yoongi, who had a blank expression, moving his mouse around in the same pose as if he was hugging me from behind. As expected of a senior, I stared at the screen with my mouth open as I saw him revising the report, and occasionally I heard a snickering sound from behind me.

"That bastard Kim Seok-jin is not good at this kind of thing. He just has to do well."

"ah..."

"Hey, little one. Shut up."

Senior Yoon-ki, who had still closed my gaping mouth with his own hand, stroked my head and spoke. Before I knew it, my report had become much neater. Do police officers these days have to be good at computers?

"Write down only the important things. Leave out the unnecessary stuff. I've done this much for you, so you do the rest."

○○○

"Yes! Thank you very much..."

Yoon-ki, who was scratching the side of his head while saying, “What…”, soon turned his back and went to his seat and hugged him. For some reason, Yoon-ki’s ears were red.

Thanks to Senior Yoon-ki's support, it wasn't difficult to revise the report. It was called support, but in reality, it was almost like he did everything for me.

And I was finally able to submit my report to the team leader. As I was about to return to my seat with a thank you, the team leader stopped me with a hand gesture.

"Ah, that... the first one..."

"You did well for your first time."

When the team leader said that, his ears turned red and almost exploded. At that, I smiled brightly and shouted, “Thank you, team leader!” Then, Namjoon, who was drinking coffee, spit it out, and Hoseok dropped the pen he was holding.

In addition, Taehyung dropped the handcuffs he was holding, and Jimin crumpled the A4 paper on the desk with a loud noise. Yoongi looked at me with a frown as if he didn't like something, and Jungkook's hand was shaking as he held the mouse.

Why are you all suddenly making such expressions! I flinched at the very direct gazes and sat down. However, even though I was sitting down, the gazes did not leave my seat.

"...yes?"

"Is there anything you can be thankful for from me?"

Thud-. With a dull sound, Namjoon-sunbae's head fell down. After hitting Namjoon-sunbae's head hard, Hoseok-sunbae picked up the walkie-talkie that had fallen to the floor and looked at Namjoon-sunbae with pity.

"What do you want me to do, you ignorant fool?"

김남준 image

김남준

"...Hey, this is the first time in my life that I've seen a kid call me ignorant."

Namjoon Sunbae's expression was filled with bewilderment as if those words were not a lie.

Over the course of a week, I was able to become very close with my seniors. Except for one person.

"I...senior..."

"The team leader said he wanted to see me for a moment..."

Jimin-sunbae, who stands up and goes to the team leader's seat without saying a word to me. He has a really cute face, but I've never seen him smile. We've never had a proper conversation.

Last time, when I saw him hit the criminal with all his might during the first incident, I thought he wasn't a bad person... but... he's someone who's hard to approach.

Before we knew it, it was lunchtime, and everyone started going out to eat, one by one. Except for a few detectives who had work left to do. The team leader, who was checking the time, raised his hand and said.

"I passed on lunch today. I have to do this too."

Me too. Yoongi-sunbae nodded and said. That's right, 6 people. They had plans, were tired, and had work to do. Jimin-sunbae started looking around in confusion. The only person who had no reason to avoid lunch. Jimin-sunbae was that person.

My senior looked at me standing there blankly, sighed softly, and got up.

"Let's go eat."

The place Jimin Sunbae brought me to was a hangover soup restaurant. As the warm soup went down my stomach, I felt better. My Sunbae, who was watching me, put down his spoon and asked.

박지민

"...Why are you laughing while eating?"

○○○

"...Ah, it's delicious!"

Yes. Usually girls at this age would like pasta or something like that, but unfortunately my taste is very Korean. I like kimchi noodle soup more than pasta, sundae soup more than cream soup, and seafood pancake more than pizza.

"Why did you become a police officer?"

○○○

"Huh? Oh... that's..."

Clang-! No... who would take this precious opportunity for conversation...!

The man sitting next to us suddenly threw a bowl and shouted. The bowl hit the wall with a loud noise and fell to the floor. At that moment, I felt Jimin-sunbae’s gaze change.

"Are you ignoring me? Huh? Do you think I don't know!" Then he started shouting into the air.

"Even though I look like this, I'm a food businessperson! I know what's quantitative and what's not!"

Then, a woman in the kitchen came out and started yelling at the man, swearing at him. Everyone in the store started to pay attention.

"If you're not satisfied, get out, you punk! What the hell are you talking about when you don't even pay for the debt! You should be grateful that I'm giving you money even though I know you don't have any!"

At that moment, three disheveled women who seemed to have come to sober up while sitting behind us laughed at the man.

"What, you were a beggar?" "Somehow...it smelled." "Hey, is this hangover soup clean? Eating the same food as a beggar...my fate is..."

No, are those women crazy? What are they going to do by adding fuel to the fire? As expected. The man who heard the whispers clearly took something out of his bosom and shouted.

"Shut up, you little shits!"

"The youngest and Jimin."

"That bastard Park Jimin... he pretended not to care!"

Seokjin sighed and said to his team members. Let's go first.

A famous hangover soup restaurant at the intersection. It was also a regular place for the 1st Violent Crimes Unit. About 10 minutes ago, a report was received. All the doors were locked, and even the blinds were closed, so they couldn't see inside, but the citizen reported hearing gunshots and screams.

"How are things?"

"Not at all. All phones are turned off and they aren't responding. We know there are hostages inside, but we can't confirm their identities or know the situation, so we can't approach them carelessly."

Ha. Seokjin sighed. Taehyung kept calling ○○ because he was worried, but all he heard was that she was off. And Jimin too. No way... No way... Taehyung bit his lip in impatience. That was when it happened.

"Team leader, look here!"

"What is it?"

Seokjin, who had been looking through the telescope that Hoseok had handed him for a long time, let out a hollow laugh and shook his head.

"....haha..."

Hoseok quietly waited while receiving the telescope.

"Why are they there!"

Hello, this is I Can't Do This. It's already episode 6 of You're Surrounded. Um. Today, I'm writing this notice because I have a favor to ask of you. Please read it and watch it.

I'm remaking the sentences I used to write on my blog and rewriting them here. I'm not copying and pasting, I'm rewriting everything myself. Hmm. Contrary to expectations, I'm so grateful for the interest and comments, and I'm so happy. However...

It bothered me that about 80% of the comments were urging me to hurry up and finish the series. At the beginning of the series, I had a lot of time so I would upload a few episodes a day, but I don't really have that much time.

The company I work for as a part-timer does not have set working hours or nighttime hours, and I do not hesitate to go out on weekends to work. As a result, I do not have even one day off a week. In the meantime, I write and save articles and upload them when I am done.

Still, the comments were full of people urging me to hurry up and do the serialization. I know how you feel, but I wish you would just be a little more moderate. Oh, and I don't have any pain. I'm healthy. I'm fine except for the fact that I suffered from enteritis a while ago! Thank you to those who were worried.

Although you can take into account a certain amount of urging, you will often see words and actions that make you frown. Words and actions like "Oh, upload it a little faster. What are you doing?"

I'm sorry, but I hope you know that I'm not someone who writes to you, but someone who communicates with you through writing. Thank you for reading this long post. I'll see you in a better way in episode 7~
