Special Investigation Team BTS Complete

EP 44. Sabra (6)

“…ugh.”

전정국

"……."

김석진

"Jungkook!!!!!!!"

정호석

"hey!!!!!!!!!"

The gun that fired the bullet was Jungkook. Sabra sat down, clutching his shoulder, from which blood was gushing out.

박지민

"Jeon Jungkook!!! Are you really going to kill someone?!!!!"

"Then are you just going to listen to that nonsense?"

"I told you, I'll arrest you my way."

Clank–

Jungkook reloaded his gun and aimed the sabra again. This time, at the head.

The team members couldn't catch Jeongguk because he was running from quite a distance, and when Jeongguk decided to do something,

"Stop."

Taehyung's low voice filled the space.

The team members who didn't know Taehyung would come out looked at him with surprised eyes, and Jungkook seemed to be the same, as he stopped pulling the trigger and turned his gaze to look at Taehyung.

전정국

"…brother."

김태형

"Okay. Let's just handcuff him."

Taehyung, who had witnessed his father, no, his own, die right before his eyes, was frighteningly calm. Jimin, who was standing next to him, asked with concern if he was okay, but Taehyung didn't respond and instead approached Sabra.

As Taehyung approached Sabra, the only person who noticed his hands trembling was Yoongi, who was by the doorway. As if trying to hide his trembling, Taehyung clenched his fists, not even glancing at the chief.

"Hah... hahahahahahahaha!"

Sabra arched her back and burst into laughter as Taehyung approached her. Blood gushed from her shoulder from the recoil, but he seemed unconcerned.

김태형

"Funny?"

Taehyung, his expression unchanged, put his hands in his pockets and looked down at Sabra. Hoseok and Namjoon, who were nearby, gestured for him to intervene, but Seokjin stopped them.

"I like you. Come with me."

김태형

"……."

"As a gift, I'll get rid of one thing you hate. What do you hate? Aaaah!!!!"

Taehyung, who had been quietly listening to Sabra, seemed unable to bear it any longer and lifted one foot and stamped on Sabra's shoulder. There was a thud, but he didn't seem to have any intention of lifting his foot.

김태형

"You already gave me a gift. You got rid of what I hated."

The voices each spoke were cold. Seeing Sabra gasping for breath while clutching Taehyung's foot, Taehyung finally put the foot that had been on his shoulder back where it belonged.

The only sounds in the room were Sabra's croaking breath and Taehyung's slapping the blood on his shoes, complaining that they were dirty. Taehyung pulled out the handcuffs and electric shock device from his back pocket and stood behind Sabra.

김태형

"I'm going to warn you of the Miranda Rights. You have the right to remain silent, and what you say could be used against you in court…."

Phagejik–

김태형

"…감옥에서 나올 생각하지 마. 개새끼야."

Taehyung interrupted the Miranda rights briefing and stunned Sabra with a stun gun. He finished by twisting Sabra's arms behind her back and snapping the handcuffs shut. The entire team stared at Taehyung in silence.

Among them, Jeongguk, who was closest to Taehyung, dropped the gun he was holding to the floor and walked over to Taehyung, hugging him until he was suffocated.

Taehyung, flustered and asking what he was doing, pushed Jungkook away, but soon gave up on pushing him away when he heard Jungkook's moist, locked voice.

전정국

"It took too many sacrifices to catch this one kid. Right, hyung?"

김태형

"……."

Sacrifice… . The victims of the ongoing drug case that had been going on for years, the police officers involved, and most recently, Yeo-ju, Yeo-woon, and Tae-hyung's father. It felt like a long, lingering chain was finally being severed.

김태형

“…That’s right. There were too many sacrifices.”

After Taehyung's words, no words were exchanged among the team members. For a moment, each person observed a moment of silence for the victims.

Concerned about a surge in reporters, the special investigation team handed Sabra over to the prosecution at dawn. While this would normally be impossible, the special investigation team's privileges allowed it to be done.

Jungkook, Taehyung, and Hoseok went straight to the hospital to see Yeoju, while the rest of the team returned to the police station and sat down in their seats.

김남준

“…Is this really the end? It feels a bit empty.”

민윤기

“I need to see with my own eyes that he goes to prison, but I can’t do that because I’m not a prosecutor. Ha…”

박지민

“I wonder if Yeoju is okay.”

김석진

“I hope it’s okay… I have to pray.”

Half relieved, half uncomfortable. That was exactly how they felt.

It was good to catch Sabra, but I felt uneasy that it couldn't be caught so easily, and I thought it might be someone else, but I caught Sabra myself.

Now all I had to worry about was the injured female lead and the chief's funeral. Taehyung seemed fine now, but the thought of him possibly collapsing at any moment made my heart ache.

박지민

“But… what does it mean to get rid of something the female protagonist likes?”

Silence fell upon Jimin's words. The three astute observers couldn't have missed it. In fact, they had been pondering this issue since they caught Sabra.

김남준

“If you think about it simply, since Sabra is in our hands, we can’t do anything about it anymore….”

김석진

"But if you think about Sabra up until now, there's no way she'd back down so easily."

민윤기

"Let's rest for now. We caught Sabra today, the female lead got hurt, and the director too... Thinking about all that makes my head hurt so much."

Namjoon and Jimin nodded in agreement. Soon, Yoongi closed his eyes, saying he needed to get some shut-eye. Namjoon and Jimin followed suit.

Seeing them, their bodies worn out from the hardships, Seokjin closed his eyes. For some reason, he felt like he wouldn't be able to sleep comfortably tonight.
