CHAPTER-18

"Good morning, Taehyung-ah," Jimin greeted Taehyung in a sleepy voice when Taehyung came into their office.

"Good morning, Jimin-ah," Taehyung greeted with a smile.

This morning,he was wearing a baby blue jacket with a white shirt and some denim jeans.

The look was complementing beautifully with his messy black hair and the jeans was hugging his small waist and hips perfectly.

Taehyung was feeling confident in his look. He was sure that the detective was gonna take second look at him.

"Who are you looking for,hmm?" Jimin teased Taehyung who was searching around the office room.

"Where's my bunny?" Taehyung asked, trying to look inside.

"He's still sleeping," Jimin said rolling his eyes.

"Why? It's already 9," Taehyung asked.

"We went to sleep really late," Jimin replied.

"What's with the noises?" Jungkook said grumpily from the couch. Then sat up from lying.

"Good morning," Taehyung said walking ahead in front of Jungkook.

Jungkook's hair was messy and his t-shirt was crumpled.

Taehyung licked his lips in hunger when he noticed Jungkook's eight packs under the t-shirt.

Taehyung wanted to take a bite and decorate Jungkook's white milky skin with his marks.

"So cute," Taehyung thought looking at the sleepy head Jungkook who still didn't wake up properly.

"Why are you even in my dream?" Taehyung heard Jungkook mumbling.

Jungkook who just woke and saw a perfectly dress handsome prosecutor Kim standing in front of him with his devilish smile, thought he was dreaming.

"So cute," Taehyung thought again and he bent down to touch Jungkook's hair.

"Ohh," Taehyung gasped in pain as Jungkook held his hand tightly before he could even touch Jungkook's hair.

"What are you doing?" Taehyung heard Jungkook asking in a cold tone.

There was something dangerous in Jungkook's tone but it didn't make Taehyung afraid rather it made him more excited.

Taehyung stared at Jungkook's eyes.

Deep black eyes staring at him with so much doubt and question.

All the cuteness and sleepiness was gone.

"I just wanted to touch your hair," Taehyung explained not wanting to be on Jungkook's bad side.

Jungkook stared at Taehyung for a second,then let go of Taehyung's hand.

Taehyung looked at Jungkook while rubbing his hand in pain.

"Shit,it's really strong," Taehyung thought.

"What happened?" Yongi asked coming out of the bathroom.

"Nothing," Jungkook said, going inside the bathroom.

"Good morning, hyung. I brought breakfast for you guys," Taehyung said.

"Thank you, Taehyung-ah," Hoseak said.

"When will we leave?" Taehyung asked.

"Let's leave after breakfast," Yongi said.

"Taehyung-ah,when did you take charge of this case?"

"About four months ago actually," Taehyung said.

"Why wasn't it made public?" Jungkook asked,as he took a sandwich and bite down on it.

"Judge Jeon said not to make it public, mostly because of all the victims being so young and still college students," Taehyung said as he watched Jungkook eating.

"Do you think Shi YuiJu is the real killer?" Hoseak asked this time.

"Not actually," Taehyung said.

"Why not?" Jungkook asked, taking a sip of his banana milk.

"So, baby likes banana milk," Taehyung thought taking a mental note.

"Many reasons actually.

I have been trying to crack him for three months now but he's really tough. It's so interesting. I'm thinking that someone is actually making Shi YuiJun take the fall," Taehyung said.

"Really? Why do you think so?"Jungkook asked.

Taehyung found some respect in Jungkook's eyes for him this time and it made Taehyung happy.

"Looks like this shitty job isn't that bad after all,"Taehyung thought happily.

"He can answer every question we ask him about the case. Like the MO and the places but he never showed my emotional connection with the victims. He seemes like reading a script and I have noticed deep hatred in his eyes when he talked about the case. He clearly knows who the killer is but for some reason he can't tell,"Taehyung explained.

Jungkook nodded in understanding.

"Why do you think he confessed?" Yongi asked.

"Though I'm sure he's not the killer,he's still a psychopath. He likes to show off but I think there is something that I can't figure out," Taehyung said shaking his head.

"Shi YuiJu wasn't happy when he saw the photo of the victim," Jungkook said.

"Yeah. That's mean he didn't expect there would be more bodies," Yongi said.

"This is getting really confusing," Jimin said sighing.

"We need to meet Shi YuiJu's daughter," Yongi said.

"She is with her aunt in Daegu," Taehyung said.

"Then, let's leave," Yongi said as they finished their breakfast.

"Babe and Jimin-ah,stay here and meet the victim's uncle. See if you can find something," Yongi said.

Hoseak and Jimin nodded.

"I'll see you tomorrow,babe," Yongi said kissing Hoseak lightly.

Taehyung saw Jungkook not looking at the couple.

Taehyung noticed a little blush on Jungkook's ears.

"Baby is shy. So cute 😍," Taehyung thought smiling.
