Jimin POV
My feet came to a dead stop as I heard a loud smack followed by Jungkook groaning in distress.
"You had better start talking, before I really give you something to groan about!" I recognized the voice as being the leader, Tyler Woo.
"Go a-ahead. I'm n-not...ngh...I w-won't d-do it," I heard Jungkook rasp with labored breaths. I clenched my jaw angrily as I listened to them punch him some more.
"I'll ask you one more time you punk!" Tyler yelled. "What did you tell that detective?!" The room fell silent for a few moments as Jungkook said nothing. I had heard enough. I slowly walked until I was only a foot away from the door, shifting to grip the gun tighter between my hands.
I took a deep breath before kicking open the door and rushing inside to put my gun to Tyler's temple. "Seoul police! Let him go or I'll shoot!" I shouted harshly. I scanned the room quickly, before my eyes landed on my informant. He gave me a weak smile as he panted in pain. I could see that his face was bloodied with bruises and cuts. The two men holding him up by the arms scowled as they looked to their leader for instructions.
"Alright...fine." Tyler motioned for them to release Jungkook, who fell to the floor in agony.
"You two...against the wall with your hands up!" I ordered as I watched their every move. They slowly backed away from my battered informant and stood in front of the wall as they faced me. I turned my attention towards the battered man on the floor who was clutching his ribs. "Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.
"Y-yeah...took you long enough, shorty," he chuckled, groaning again when he attempted to prop himself up. I rolled my eyes with a small smile as I sighed in relief.
Luckily my back-up arrived a few minutes later as they immediately began searching the place. My squad found close to 90lbs of LSD along with various other drugs stored in the basement. As soon as my team arrested the gang members and took them into custody, I rushed over to Jungkook. I was able to help him get into a seated position while I looked at his injuries.
"Nice going, shor- Wait! You're bleeding!" Jungkook gasped with a look of concern as he gently tilted my head to the side, examining my bloodied neck thoroughly.
"I'm fine," I insisted as I brushed his hand away.
"You're covered in blood and you're telling me you're fine?! I mean look at this," he frowned as he grabbed a hold of my left wrist to inspect the large cut on my arm. I hissed in pain when he slowly ran his fingertips close to the wound, inspecting it closely. "You promised me you would be careful..." Jungkook mumbled quietly, still concentrating on the wound.
"I just needed a distraction for the guards at the door," I replied, trying not to think too much about how much I was enjoying the feel of his skin on mine. "I didn't cut it too deep, it just stings a little." He nodded in understanding as he glanced between my arm and my eyes a few times before releasing me. "Anyways...sorry I didn't get here sooner," I apologized, chastising myself as I looked at his blood stained clothes.
"Eh, those w-wimps didn't h-hurt me," he joked as he tightened his hold on his side. "Besides... I got to see you all angry." I gave him a confused look as he smirked before continuing. "You look really cute with your face scrunched up and your cheeks all puffed out," he grinned. I heard a few of my colleagues snicker at us from the corner, causing my cheeks to tint a light shade of pink at his remark.
"Shut up."
"Well it's true..." he muttered under his breath. I shook my head and lightly smacked his thigh as he tried not to laugh.
"Come on, you need to get bandaged up," I said as I reached out to help him stand. I wrapped an arm around his waist and hooked his left arm over my shoulder as I assisted him to his feet. We carefully made our way outside and I helped him onto the stretcher, biting my lip worriedly as the paramedics strapped him in.
"Hey," Jungkook called, forcing me to tear my gaze from his battered body to look at his face. "I don't want you to feel guilty about this. I'm the one who agreed to it in the first place," he said softly.
"But still I-I should've been more careful..." I answered quietly as I looked down shamefully.
"Jimin hyung." My eyes widened and my heart skipped a beat as I jerked my head back up. He had never spoken to me so formally and hearing my name in his deep voice was something I never knew I craved so much. Our eyes met for a few moments and my heartbeat quickened, waiting for him to continue. "You saved me. If it weren't for you... I might not be alive right now," Jungkook said sincerely. "When Tyler was- when he was beating me and t-threatening me...I wasn't afraid. I knew that you would come find me."
"Jungkook..." I whispered as I stood there in disbelief at the conviction in his voice, letting out a shaky breath as I stared at him.
"Although, I had no idea I would get seduced by your cute angry face," he sighed dramatically.
"Aish, shut up!" I giggled with a slight blush as I covered my mouth with the back of my hand. After a moment our laughter died down, but our eyes stayed locked onto one another. The paramedics finally cleared their throats as we quickly diverted our gaze, both of us lowering our heads sheepishly. I stood back to let them ask him a few routine questions while they prepared to drive him to the hospital.
"So, are you going with him?" I turned at the sound of Namjoon hyung's voice behind me.
"S-sir?" I asked in embarrassment. "I-I...um-"
"Yes he is," Jungkook chimed in, his attention directed towards us even as the paramedics were in the middle of asking him questions.
I looked back at him in shock as he winked at me with a grin. For a moment I thought I saw a fleeting look of something else, but I couldn't quite pinpoint what it was. My eyes stayed trained on Jungkook even after he went back to speaking with the two paramedics. In the next instant, the captain chuckled and nudged me towards the stretcher. I tore my gaze away from my informant and looked at Namjoon hyung in confusion.
"Alright. Why don't you take tomorrow and Friday off?" he smiled with a raised eyebrow.
"What?! A-are you sure, captain?" I questioned, feeling a bit awkward. Namjoon hyung gave me a wide smile with a nod, leaning in closer to whisper next to my ear.
"...besides he might need some help," he teased.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" I shrieked, my cheeks darkening slightly at his tone.
"Nothing. Well I'll see you on Monday, Park!" he said as he waved goodbye with a cheeky grin.
"Wha- but... I- ughh, okay. Bye, captain!" I shouted at his retreating figure. He simply threw up his hand in acknowledgement as he walked away. I turned back to Jungkook who was already looking over at me with a smirk.
"I knew you'd come..." I scoffed at his arrogance as I strolled right past him, mumbling under my breath. "Hey! Where are you going?!" Jungkook exclaimed as he quickly reached out and grabbed my arm.
"Wouldn't you like to know," I countered smugly. His grip on my right wrist tightened when I attempted to pull away and I nearly lost my balance at the force.
"B-but your captain said-! Wait, you're really not coming?!"
"Calm down...I'm just getting my car," I snickered as he pouted childishly.
"Real funny..." he grumbled as he slowly released his hold.
"I thought so too," I grinned while Jungkook rolled his eyes with a huff. "I'll meet you there you big baby. I can't just leave my car here." I ruffled his hair playfully and he swatted my hand away as he bit back a smile.
"Whatever..." he murmured softly as he looked off to the side. My mouth curved into a smile as I gave his shoulder a light pat and headed around the corner to the back parking lot.
Gosh he's such a brat...
