FBI : love department || Park Jimin ☁️

5- asian man

If you had to stay and tell all the things you heard in the following two days, 7 interviews from 7 different people you would be saying only one story again and again.

<everything just fits so perfectly>

you let your head low and pulled your hair a little as your fingers tugged in it.

<too perfect...>

Jimin agreed as his eyes were still scanning the papers with the evidence everyone gave, everything was nearly the same, even the words they used were really similar and at points, even the same. What they didn't agree on was the country the man came from: two people said the killer was Japanese, three of them said he was Chinese, one said he was Thai and the last one said he was from Singapore. One thing was sure

All of them agreed the killer was Asian.

A knock on the door of your office made you snap out of your thoughts

<come in>

Jimin said and the door cracked open, Jungkook was standing there, a confused expression written all over his face

<do you guys know why are they setting Jorge Rodriguez Hall and all the others from the poker game free?>

he asked and you frowned, you didn't expect Taehyung to take such a dangerous decision, you weren't sure if one of them wasn't actually the killer, their only alibi was the poker game and the only witnesses were... themselves. It was enough for you and Jimin to look at each other and you immediately understood what was going on in the other's head. Sometimes, like in that moment, you were even thinking the same.
Both of you got up and stormed out the room, the second after you were already knocking on the warden's office door, you didn't even wait to hear permission to come in before Jimin had already opened it.

<I don't remember telling you two to come in>

Taehyung's cold voice, which usually would make you feel somehow intimidated, now didn't have any effect, sounded from the other part of the room

<why are you letting them go?>

Jimin asked slamming his hands on the desk, Mr. Kim looked him up and down, and finally, your partner took a step back standing back straight

<they are not the killer...>

<how do you know? Were you there with them?!>

Jimin interrupted your boss raising his voice a little

<trust me Mr. Park>

your partner scoffed looking somewhere else, he didn't like the warden and never tried to hide it but he knew Taehyung was a good detective, also a good boss even if Jimin wouldn't admit it, and Jimin trusted him, the whole department did, but this was another thing Jimin's ego wasn't ready to say out loud that's why he preferred to keep up his attitude instead.

<they are not the killer, now that they are free and not in our jails is possible that the real killer will come and try to blackmail them, he may try to shut them up and that's when we will have him>

you sighed sitting on one of the chairs in the office

<that's possible but not probable>

you commented and the warden nodded

<I know, but it's worth a try, maybe we will be lucky, also they can't leave the city, we will know at the moment they will just try to do so and arrest them immediately>

**

< I think warden Kim is just complicating things>

Jungkook said after you had told him why the suspected people had been freed, the move was risky, and y'all knew it, but the more you thought about it the more you actually realised why Mr. Kim did what he did. No one believed that any of those 8 people would be able to kill, they were just addicted to a game that wasn't so legal. But there were still lots of "what ifs" for example

what if they were just good actors?

<that man is strange>

Jimin mumbled fidgeting with the cup of coffee in front of him

<he knows what he is doing>

a fourth voice interrupted your conversation, all of you turned to look behind, Mrs. Evans was standing there, most likely have listened to your whole conversation. But at the end you were sitting in a public place, everyone who was there, in the chairs around you could listen to every your word.
You looked at your ex-warden, her black hair slowly started getting grey and the print of the passing time was clear on her skin. Her blue eyes, which were full of life and expressed joy, now were turned off, the warm light which once reassured you that everything will be ok was no longer there. The time had consumed every aspect of her, but she still held a welcoming smile.

<good morning warden Evans>

Jimin said giving her a big smile. The woman just two years ago was in Mr. Kim's place, but then she retired and a younger man took her place. Not gonna lie, half of the department didn't hate Taehyung just for his cold behavior but also for the fact that he took the place of a woman they all adored so much.

<don't be so harsh with that boy, I had chosen him personally, I'm sure he knows what he is doing>

the three of you exchanged a look

<so you were the one to decide that Mr. Kim would take your place?>

Jungkook asked, his doe eyes growing bigger as he looked in disbelief at the woman in front of him

<oh sure>

she said softly as she took one of the empty chairs and sat next to you, struggling a little, she could bet she felt her bones aching, every her muscle hurt her at every movement, in some weeks she would be sitting on a wheelchair unable to walk.

<I really liked the way he saw reality>

she continued once she was sitting comfortably in the chair

<he was so shy>

a giggle escaped her lips as she recalled the memories of the shy kid who used to sit at the first desk just to take better notes

<let me tell you the story of why and how it happened that I had chosen Kim Taehyung among all the hundreds of boys and girls>
