Special Investigation Team BTS 2
EP 31. Foxy's Doll Shop (10)
Namjoon, Jimin, and Jungkook, who had returned home at dawn without being able to find Yeoju, handed the note to Seokjin in the morning.
The faces of the team members who saw the phrases written in English hardened, and Taehyung, who had been showering for almost hours, finally revealed himself and approached them.
김태형
"Oh, you're here? Are you going to give me a hug?"
전정국
“…I couldn’t find it.”
김태형
"what?"
민윤기
"Hey kid, what are you doing showering for half a day? Can't you see the sun rising?"
김태형
"That's a bit of an exaggeration. The sun hasn't risen yet, hyung. And you still haven't found Yeonyeoju? What do you mean?"
박지민
"The location tracking was lost midway. … I think my phone is broken."
Behind Jimin, who was frantically shaking his head, Seokjin, who had been carefully examining the contents of the note, rose. He secured two notes to the whiteboard with magnets and sat down at the table in front of it.
김석진
"Bombay…."
정호석
"Bombay…? Do you know who it is?"
민윤기
"Two years ago, at the Yeoju funeral home... there was a huge commotion among the violent crimes units. Because of that one Bombay, police stations across the country were turned upside down."
정호석
"Is he that great?"
김석진
"...He's the one who single-handedly destroyed two organizations. A mysterious figure whose gender, age, and even nationality are unknown."
Yoongi came up next to Seokjin, unfolded the crumpled end of the note, and looked over the cursive writing once more.
「A criminal are always around the crime scene.」
민윤기
"The culprit is always around the crime scene."
「A criminal is always nearby.」
민윤기
"The culprit is always nearby."
김석진
"You found these notes in the middle?"
A brief silence formed at the end of Yoongi's voice, and Seokjin took advantage of the gap to turn and ask Namjoon. Namjoon nodded in response.
The heroine disappears, and a new figure suddenly appears: Bombay. Someone must have brought it here on purpose, but I don't know what it means.
전정국
“Is this a trap?”
김남준
"It's too unrelated to us to be called a trap, right? But... we can't just trust it."
박지민
"For now, let's find Yeon Yeo-ju. Where on earth is she and what is she doing?"
bang-!!
연여주
“Table… Please leave the table.”
It was a split second. The woman, who had been unreachable and untracked, opened the office door and came in, shouting.
박지민
"What... What are you doing, you!! Why are you looking like that!!!"
전정국
"Yeon Yeo-ju, you really...!!! Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?!"
김태형
“Hey…! Where did you go without saying anything and come back!!! How long… how long… did we have to go through to find you alone!!!”
김남준
"Miss Yeoju!!! What if you just leave the hospital and disappear like that!!! I've been looking for you for a long time!!!"
Jimin, Jungkook, Taehyung, and Namjoon were busy shouting and constantly checking on Yeoju, as if Yeonjun, who had come in as if carrying her on his shoulders, was nowhere to be seen.
Was the phone just for decoration? Why couldn't I get through? Where on earth were you and what were you doing? Who did you meet? Did you get hurt? All sorts of questions were directed at the female protagonist.
The seven men's gazes were fixed solely on Yeoju, but her gaze darted here and there, unable to find a destination. She knew they were concerned, but for now, the injured Yeonjun was the priority.
연여주
"I'll tell you the details later, but please clean up the table. ...There's someone I need to treat."
김석진
“…Can I just connect two of them?”
연여주
"I'm a bit tall, so I need something to put my feet on."
Seokjin, who was the first to notice Yeonjun's condition while he was on Yeoju's shoulder, pulled Hoseok's arm, who was still busy looking at Yeoju's face, and brought the table together.
The female protagonist, who saw that the table had been roughly cleared, grabbed Yeonjun and walked away.
widely-
If it weren't for Yoon-gi holding on to Yeo-ju.
민윤기
"The body."
연여주
"I told you there's someone I need to treat. I'll talk to you later."
민윤기
"You are more important to me."
Yun-gi's hand, which was holding Yeo-ju's wrist, gained strength.
연여주
"…hey."
민윤기
"The body."
연여주
"……."
민윤기
"Where is the injury?"
연여주
"…are you okay."
민윤기
"There it is."
연여주
"……."
박지민
"What, why, what is it? Are you hurt? Is that it? What kind of bastard are you? Is that the Kathartish bastard?"
Jimin, who had been listening to Yoongi and Yeoju's conversation, gritted his teeth and stepped in. Yeonjun's breathing was faint against his ear.
연여주
"Later. Please, let's talk later. Let's finish this guy's treatment first and then we can talk then."
The anxious Yeoju shook off Yoongi's hand, pushed Jimin's shoulder, and laid Yeonjun down on the table prepared by Seokjin and Hoseok.
I cut the blood-soaked clothes with office scissors and pulled the torn hem aside to reveal the wound, and I saw blood gushing out.
연여주
"Fuck... Choi Yeonjun. Listen carefully. There's no anesthetic or anything here to take away your pain."
Yeonjun tilted his head to the side, uncertain whether he was listening to Yeoju or not. Yeoju untied the bag she had on her back and took out forceps (a medical tool used to secure an incision).
연여주
"I've never formally studied medical practice, but I have firsthand experience learning and practicing it. Trust me. If you want to live, endure it."
최연준
"Haa... sob,"
연여주
"...starting."
The forceps were secured in place to allow easy visualization of the wound, and then the suture needle and suture thread were removed, and the surgery began. At Yeoju's beckoning, Seokjin and Hoseok held Yeonjun's body, and Yeonjun, writhing in pain, had no choice but to undergo the surgery.
[Behind]
Fortunately, Yeo-ju, who had safely completed Yeon-jun's surgery, entered the duty room with a pale face, wiping away cold sweat. However, perhaps a guest had arrived before her, as she stopped in her tracks with an "Ah."
김태형
“…Are you okay?”
It was Taehyung.
연여주
"Sorry. I interrupted your break. I heard from the team leader that something happened on the subway. You must have been tired. Get some rest."
The heroine turned around and tried to go outside, wearing a towel around her neck, looking tired.
widely-
김태형
“I asked if you were okay.”
Taehyung grabbed the woman's shoulder, and although he didn't hold her tightly, he flinched at the belated pain that came from even the slightest contact.
연여주
"…ah."
김태형
"Oh, sorry. Does it hurt? I'm sorry. Are you hurt?"
연여주
"No, it's okay. Don't make a fuss."
As I watched Taehyung alternate between apology and concern, my head started pounding. I pressed my temples and frowned, and only then did Taehyung close his mouth.
Despite the woman's words to go out and rest comfortably, Taehyung did not move an inch from her presence, but instead gently grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the bed.
The female protagonist, who was lying on the bed, rolled up in the blanket like a kimbap, blinked and looked at Taehyung, and Taehyung looked down at her with a worried expression as if he was angry.
김태형
"You're sick too. Lie down."
연여주
“…If it’s going to tick again this time,”
김태형
"I'm worried. ...It's not just ticking."
Taehyung covered his eyes with his right hand and brushed his bangs back a couple of times, as if he was embarrassed after saying the words.
김태형
“Even if I tell you not to leave the hospital on your own, you’re not the type of person to listen… Just, from now on, when you go somewhere, tell me before you go.”
연여주
“…Are you worried about this too?”
김태형
"No. This is education. You're making everything difficult."
Kkuuk. Taehyung pressed his index finger to the forehead of the woman lying on the bed. The woman gave him a fierce glare, as if asking, "What is this?" But now that she was a mere kimbap, the impact was zero.
김태형
"Go to sleep first. Wake up and talk. I'll listen to any excuses or anything."
연여주
"……."
김태형
"Go. I'll turn off the lights."
Taehyung, who had been sitting next to Yeoju for a moment, stood up without saying anything, turned off the lights, and left the duty room. Yeoju, who had been staring at the door Taehyung had left through, quickly turned away and closed her eyes.
연여주
“…Something changed in the blink of an eye….”
The thought that seemed like it would last a long time was soon overtaken by the sleep that was coming.
I wanted to reply to all of them, but I didn't have time, so I couldn't reply to all of them. I'm sorry. ㅜㅜㅜㅜ But I'm reading them all!!! It's an honor for the family to welcome me like this...😭🌌💙
Oh, right, I think I'll make some changes to the latter half of the story! I feel like if I keep going like this, I'll be forever far from the conclusion, so I've made some...? A lot...? changes!
Elfer Mystery King!! You have to run again🚘🚘💗
