"Have I ever told you how sexy you sound reading someone their Miranda rights?"
Chantelle throws her head back against his shoulder with laughter. "No, but you have now."

"Good morning." Chantelle hums as Taehyung climbs into her car that beautiful Saturday morning.
"Morning." He smiles as brightly as ever. "You seem to be in a good mood today."
"Coffee." She nods her head towards the tan cup in her coffee holder.
"Ah, that makes sense now." He chuckles softly. "So what are we doing today?"
"Not much, actually." She sighs, beginning the drive back to the station. "We're just gonna do some further research on the Jeon family. It's pretty much all we can do until Jungkook comes in for questioning."
"Sounds boring." Taehyung mutters.
"Oh, it is." She nods in agreement. "But we don't really have a choice."
The two of them share a surprisingly pleasant conversation during the drive, with Taehyung not trying to get in her pants every five seconds. She learns that the detective grew up in a part of Korea called Daegu, and his family was very poor. That's why they pushed him to do well in school.
They weren't originally happy with his decision to become a criminal investigator, not when their son was smart enough to be a professor or even a doctor. But it didn't take long for them to realize Taehyung is good at what he does and he can make a decent salary doing it.
He moved them into a nicer house and has been taking care of his parents ever since.
Detective Taylor shared some personal information about herself as well. She told him about how she grew up in a happy household with her parents and her younger brother. She had been watching true crime shows since she was young and when it came time to pick a profession, she felt the detective position calling her name.
After talking with him for a bit, Chantelle is starting to realize that there's more to this fuckboy detective than she originally thought.
"Good morning!" Chantelle chirps, greeting Andrea as she steps into the office with her partner by her side.
"Morning." The older woman smiles back, pleasantly surprised by the cheerful tone in Detective Taylor's voice.
"Come, pull up a chair." Chantelle sits at her desk, beckoning Taehyung over. He grabs a chair from one of the empty desks, spinning it around and straddling it backwards. She tries to ignore just how attractive the action was and instead focuses her attention on her computer screen.
She signs in, navigating her way to a search engine.
Chantelle types 'Jeon family nyc' into the search bar, waiting to see what results pop up. And as she expected, there are multiple articles about his murder. Besides that, links to their business website as well as their individual social media accounts pop up.
She clicks on a link that takes her to a webpage recalling the history of the family, deciding that would be the best place to start. "Migrated to the United States in 1983, started the Jeon wine company in 1989, Hana was born in 1994 and Jungkook was born in 1997..." Chantelle reads out the information written on the website.
