Special Investigation Team BTS Complete

EP 30. Drug Sales (2)

The next day, Yoongi, Namjoon, and Jungkook went to the club to begin an undercover investigation, while Yeoju, Hoseok, and Jimin remained at the police station, investigating the club and Dobong Fried Chicken's past history and gathering information from those involved.

Seokjin, Taehyung, and Yeowoon, with the authority of the special investigation team, completed all legal procedures and began a full-scale investigation into the chicken restaurant in that short period of time.

And now, despite the fact that the chicken restaurant had a sign saying that it was closed for business due to unforeseen circumstances, customers were shouting and shoving money in the entrance.

"I'm going to buy it with my own money, what do you have to do with it!"

"The police are really kings, they are kings! How can the police stop citizens, huh?!"

"Oh my! You all saw that, right?! That cop just hit me in the stomach!!!"

The local police officers stationed in front of the chicken restaurant to assist the special investigation team were taken aback by the citizens who were acting quite violently.

He would throw money on the floor and yell, he would point at each person and talk to them so that others could hear, and he would even suddenly lie down on his back and say that the police had beaten him.

The police couldn't help but be visibly flustered by the fact that these people had been relatively quiet and had been doing well without any major or minor incidents.

Of course, the special forces team, knowing that all of these people were showing signs of drug addiction, sighed and wondered when they would finally be able to treat them all.

김석진

"Everyone, we are currently on official duty. If you cross the police line like that person over there or threaten the officers standing here, you will be arrested for obstructing official duty."

"Who are you to arrest us!! Call the owner quickly! Right now!"

김태형

"Didn't you say you were on official duty right now? If you take even one step from there, I will arrest you."

At the word 'arrest', some people seemed to come to their senses and took a step back, but others became angry and started to cross the police line one by one.

Suddenly, a large number of people rushed in, and the police officers who were stopping them were in a state of panic. Taehyung noticed this and strode forward with a frown.

And then, Taehyung lifts the collar of the man closest to him and spits out words.

"I thought you said you were on official business right now."

"You have two ears, so you listen in one ear and let it out the other? Do you only need one ear?"

Creepy.

The man who met Taehyung's eyes realized that Taehyung's words were sincere and his chin trembled.

When the people who heard Taehyung and the man's conversation stopped for a moment and stopped moving, the police officers took the opportunity to push the people back.

Only then does Taehyung let go of the man's collar.

Seokjin, who was watching from behind, shook his head and covered his eyes, saying he couldn't stop her, and Yeowoon, who was next to him, approached Taehyung with a smile.

"You're capable. Our Taehyung–"

Bam.

김태형

"Don't touch me. Don't forget that we're both working."

Yeo-woon looked at Tae-hyung's back as he fiercely slapped her hand away and walked away, looking at him with a look that said, "Why are you acting like that all of a sudden?", but Tae-hyung ignored it and comforted the police officer who was almost trampled by the people by patting his shoulder twice.

Because what Taehyung needed right now wasn't a lingering feeling to satisfy his pride, but a police officer who needed someone's comfort.

Even Taehyung felt it was a contradictory feeling. He wanted to play with others, yet he wanted to comfort someone else.

If, unexpectedly, the female protagonist's face came to mind at that moment, wouldn't that also be contradictory? Even Taehyung himself, who had thought of the female protagonist, didn't realize it.

김석진

"Taehyung, Yeowoon. Come here. It looks a little different from those boxes over there… What do you think?"

While he was listening to the police officer's words of thanks, Seokjin came looking for Taehyung and Yeowoon, calling their names.

When Taehyung and Yeowoon turned to Seokjin, a black box filled one wall behind him.

“Seasoning sauce, soy sauce, honey butter powder… aren’t these just ingredients used to make chicken?”

김석진

"...What? Do you really think so? Yeo-woon, do you think you would have just put such ordinary ingredients in a black box that is different from the basic box?"

Seokjin twisted his head and asked Yeo-woon, who was reading each name tag on the box with a bored expression, if she was serious.

"Huh, huh? Oh, isn't that right? Yeah, it's strange when you look closely. Why would they put such ordinary ingredients in here...?"

Yeo-woon, who noticed Seok-jin's expression belatedly, stammered and tried to get over the situation, but Seok-jin, who had already noticed the signs, had no intention of backing down.

김석진

"Yeoun-ah, during an investigation, every word you say helps the investigation and can determine the direction of the investigation. You can't make a single mistake during an investigation, and you definitely can't joke around."

김석진

"I don't know what you would have done where you were before, but I hope you would at least approach the investigation seriously in this special investigation unit where I am."

"……."

김석진

"I'll let it slide for today, but don't wear that skirt to work from now on. That's an order."

Seokjin didn't expect Yeo-woon's answer, so he finished what he wanted to say and passed by her.

Yeo-woon's face, which had maintained a faint smile until Seok-jin had completely passed her side, fell.

The two hands, neatly gathered next to the hem of the skirt, were clenched tightly enough to prevent the blood from rushing to them, and the lips that had been smiling beautifully were pressed against white teeth.

“…Why do people here expect so much from me?”

Ugh.

The teeth ground with an unpleasant sound.

김석진

"Did you open the box?"

김태형

"I opened a few of them, but they seem to be the drugs Jimin was talking about."

김태형

"LSD and barbiturates. Even though they're listed as ingredients on the outside, it seems like they haven't changed the inside."

김석진

"It's not that they couldn't be changed, it's that they didn't change. They shouldn't be mixed up during delivery."

김석진

"Let's check to see if there are any drugs we don't know about, and let's send the ones we have here to the police station through Yeoun."

김태형

“…Should we send it through Na Yeo-un?”

Taehyung, who was checking the items in the box and writing things down one by one in his notebook, stopped at Seokjin's words.

Seeing Seokjin naturally open another box after seeing Taehyung's reaction, it seems like he doesn't know what Taehyung's question means.

김석진

"I know what you want to say, what you doubt. But still… we're on the same team. We have to work together, Taehyung."

김태형

"I agreed to have her join our team because I thought she'd be good at her job. Honestly... because she's a woman. I feel like I haven't met a woman like her lately."

김석진

"I know. It was never meant to be pure."

When Taehyung lowered his face and spoke, feeling like he was talking trash, Seokjin slowly nodded, saying that he knew everything.

Without even looking at Taehyung, he only listened.

"Whatever the reason, I can't change my mind about Yeo-Woon joining our team now."

"It's your choice and our choice, your responsibility and our responsibility. So Taehyung, from now on...."

"Don't do such trashy things that will leave indelible scars on others."

"You can never take responsibility for that."
