Twilight of Itaewon | Taekook ✔

17. Perfect Mess

The world looked Mayhem. Everything around him is chaos. But can he do something about it? No. The September breeze is nothing but a headache to him. It should soothe him. But that's not what happens.

Dark blending outside with the white sky. Harsh silence staring them hard while the three males concentrated on the case file in front of them. It's all a turmoil for them. They're suffering to sort it out. But it's better, better than anything.

"So, these are the guys behind this stupid plan. The master brains?"

Jeongguk throws his pen which pointed to the photos on the case file. The three males in the photo are stick under the black heading.

"Yes, this one, he's the main guy. He already had other cases on him. The team is very clever. Our force couldn't find them. It's very difficult."

Soobin said breaking the silence. His pen pointing to the guy with black hair in the photo. His stern looks glancing at Jeongguk who also concentrated on his assistant's words.

"Sir, even if we arrest them, they easily get bails. It's like a waste of time and energy."

Yeonjun grabbed their attention. It's true though. The culprits have strong connections in every corner. If they want, anything can be done. Even if it's transferring them or fire them from the job. They're the so-called gangsters.

"Just because of these guys, women in our society can't live peacefully. These filthy lives deserve to be punished.
They're a shame to the true men."

Jeongguk said. His strong deep voice can make anyone shiver. His sharp gaze boring holes in the photos in front of them. His fist balled tightly and hit the table. It sure made his assistants flinch a little.

"We're police officers. People trust us. They expect justice from us. How could we say that culprits are difficult to be arrested in front of the tears of our people?

We also have mom, sisters, and other important females in our life. If this goes on like this,... What about our daughters?

Will we sit calmly while hearing an explanation if this happens to our daughter? No.

Then...? We have to find a solution for this. They should be punished. That's it."

Jeongguk uttered. He stood up holding the document in his hands. The gang-rape case and the culprits are eating his head these days. He was working hard and collecting all possible information and news about the case. The ideal men in Jeongguk will never let this happen to anyone again. He will fight for justice.

"Sir, the chief asked for a detailed report. What's your plan?"

Asked Yeonjun. They were researching for days. And it's clear that the case is hard to solve but they will search for a hint or a weak point of the culprits.

"We will submit it before tomorrow evening," Jeongguk replied. They discussed a little more and then stood up to leave after the meeting.

The evening was cool. Jeongguk let his car window half-open while driving to his apartment. The crispy breeze caressed him and his disturbed mind. The male needed freedom from everything to nothing.

Night engulfing him and he was alone in his apartment. Jeongguk watered his new plants on the balcony. Yeah, he decided to start the habit of having a greenish balcony. Sitting down on the swing chair on his balcony, Jeongguk searched peace everywhere with a cup of coffee.

Life flows like this. Seasons changes. The clear roads are occasionally filled with snow other times with autumn leaves. Colorful petals sometimes won't lead you to a beautiful destination. Within all of these shades of life, people search for their quaint bliss; their euphoria. And Jeon Jeongguk is one of them.
