Special Investigation Team BTS Complete

EP 27. Useless Being, Useful Being

Jeong-guk and Yeo-woon, who returned first from their undercover work, told their teammates what they had seen.

민윤기

"So, the club side seems strange because only VVIPs can enter at that time, and the chicken restaurant side seems strange because of the chicken called 'drug chicken'?"

전정국

"Yes. It's a bit suspicious that even VIPs aren't allowed in."

김남준

"But Jungkook, why does your face look like this? Who did you fight with?"

Namjoon turned Jungkook's shoulder to look at his chapped lips, and pretended not to care, but Yoongi also looked up from his file and looked at Jungkook.

전정국

“…I only got hit once.”

How can you say that the other person struck first and started a fight? Jungkook pushed Namjoon away and roughly shook the back of his head.

정호석

"Oh my, Jeongguk. Come here. I'll put some medicine on you."

전정국

"Oh, why are you putting on some disgusting medicine? It's okay. It'll get better soon if you leave it like this anyway."

김석진

"Getting better quickly? You should get treated by Hoseok quickly. Yeo-woon, what's this chicken? Did you buy it for us to eat?"

"Ah. I bought it on a whim, but Taehyung told me to take it. It's the chicken they call drug chicken. He asked me to test it for white powder."

박지민

"Then I'll leave the inspection to you. Can you just take this whole thing?"

Jimin snatched the chicken that Yeo-woon was holding as if he was lingering, and left the police station with a frown on his face as if he was looking at something dirty.

The others were speechless, as if only Yeo-woon had seen Jimin's expression. Yeo-woon looked at his hand, which had suddenly become lighter, and showed a crooked smile.

김석진

"Are you okay with Taehyung? You seem to be in a good mood."

Of course, he immediately smiled brightly.

"Yeah. Maybe because it was my first time, Taehyung took good care of me."

김석진

"I sent you with Taehyung on purpose, so that's a good thing. Since we're the same age, it'll be easier to talk to each other. Oh, and Jimin is the same age, so talk to him later."

"Yeah! Thanks for taking care of me, Seokjin oppa."

Seokjin, relieved by Yeo-woon's smile, walked over to Yoon-gi's side, looking through the case files together. Only after he'd finished looking at all the files, including the one Yoon-gi was looking at, did he close all the open files.

김석진

"Then, let's split up into teams and move as soon as the drug chicken ingredient test results come out.

정호석

"By the way, Yeoju? Didn't you come with me? It's getting late, so it might be dangerous to leave her alone."

전정국

“I was going to stay anyway, but… I got kicked out.”

"Oh, so you're the female protagonist alone in front of the club at this time of night?"

Night. Yeoju. Alone. Club.

전정국

"Ah. Crazy."

민윤기

"…Jeon Jungkook. Are you kidding me? Okay, just stay still. I'll go."

widely-

"I'll go, oppa."

Yeo-woon holds Yoon-ki's arm as he sits up, pressing Jeong-guk's shoulder.

As soon as his arm was grabbed, Yoon-gi quickly shook off the hand and grabbed Yeo-woon's shoulder as she was about to fall, pulling her towards him.

"Do you know me?"

"You sound like my brother. Damn it."

"……."

민윤기

"Oh, get out. The perfume smells fucking awful."

Thump–

김남준

"Hey, bro!!! What if you leave like that... Yeo-woon, are you okay?"

정호석

"That guy has a really prickly personality. Don't get too hurt, Yeo-woon. Are you hurt anywhere?"

As Yoongi pushed Yeo-woon away, she collapsed to the floor helplessly, and Namjoon and Hoseok carefully helped her up.

When Yeo-woon looked at the ground with her eyes shaking in fear, Nam-joon stroked her head.

전정국

"I'm telling you this just in case."

"…yes?"

"I have no intention of talking to you either, so let's continue to be uncomfortable like this."

"Mr. Parachute."

정호석

“Ah, Jungkook, you too…!”

Jungkook followed Yoongi outside, ignoring Hoseok who called him.

Seokjin, who was looking at the two of them like that, could only wash his face with a dry feeling of guilt and frustration.

민윤기

"What? Why did you come out?"

전정국

"For the same reason as my brother."

As I grab the steering wheel to start the car and set off, Jungkook appears from somewhere and suddenly opens the car door and comes in.

Same reason as my brother. I don't need to ask why.

Yoon-gi chuckled and stepped on the accelerator, and at the same time, the car moved forward smoothly.

전정국

"Oh, I really don't like that woman. The more I think about it, the angrier I get."

Not long after the car started moving, Jeongguk said he was upset about the aftertaste.

전정국

"Did you see how when the female protagonist was introducing herself and trying to say hello, she suddenly clapped and laughed? That was on purpose."

민윤기

“…Was that so?”

I didn't know. Yoongi listened intently, hearing things from Jeongguk he hadn't even thought of.

전정국

"And what was that in the beginning? I didn't like it from the start when you came in a one-piece dress. You knew work was starting today, so what's with the one-piece dress? A one-piece dress."

민윤기

"That's right. It seems like you don't even understand the concept of work. Wearing a skirt while working? And what about high heels?"

When Yoon-ki agreed with Jeong-guk's words and said that he didn't like it either, Jeong-guk finally smiled comfortably as if his frustration at Yoon-ki's words had been relieved.

민윤기

"What's a parachute, a parachute? If you knew it was an organization made up of skilled soldiers, you should have known better."

민윤기

"Looking at your resume, your police academy grades are a mess. I don't know what your purpose is for coming to our team, but we don't want kids who show off without any skills."

Jungkook stared intently at Yoongi, who was loosening the tie that was choking his neck, and blurted out the person that came to mind.

전정국

"What about the heroine?"

민윤기

"…what?"

전정국

"You said from the moment you first met us that we didn't need any useless things. Well then... I don't mean to be sexist, but it's true that the female lead is physically weaker than us."

민윤기

"……."

전정국

"Then, is the female protagonist useless to you too?"

Stop. Jeongguk's question made me slam on the brakes. Luckily, the light was red, otherwise I would've hit the car behind me.

Yoongi was silent for a moment, and Jungkook, as if he hadn't expected an answer from Yoongi, lost interest and looked out the window.

Yoongi's mind flashed back to the female protagonist from the previous incident, who, despite her ailing body, refused to give up until the very end. It was true that he had tried to drag her along, even if it meant pushing himself too hard... but...

The heroine's silent struggle to avoid becoming a burden, without a single complaint, surprised Yoon-ki. In fact, she helped him and even outpaced him.

Yoon-ki smiled as he remembered the female protagonist who had finally lost consciousness after saving Seok-jin and feeling relieved.

"It's useless."

"Not anymore. You are absolutely necessary."

It was a warm smile, one that was rarely seen from Yoongi.
