Double Meaning

Epilogue II

A man in uniform always stands out. His perfectly fitted uniform had a line of stars embroidered on his shoulders. Instead of coming off as tacky, it actually enhanced his image. He looked like he'd just stepped out of a movie screen. Almost half of his face was covered by his cap, but it didn't hide his sharp jaw and his stubborn lips. It merely served to add to his arrogant image.

Today, Jungkook was receiving a commendation for his contribution to the massive eradication of two major gangs. His 12 years of undercover work was finally going to be acknowledged. Seeing him wear his uniform seemed to make it official. He was truly a policeman.

"Wow, isn't that man freaking handsome?"

Dressed up in a white, skintight outfit, Lisa whispered to the middle-aged person sitting next to her. The man looked at her with a blank expression on his face. He seemed a bit confused and wondered why this strange woman was talking to him.

"I'm not sure. Is that how young women see him?"

"Ey, you're just jealous because you're a man."

Lisa boldly looked at the man as she replied. The man looked flustered as he chuckled awkwardly. Lisa's eyes sparkled as she watched Jungkook walk down from the podium. In the past, she couldn't imagine him in a uniform and thought it would look strange on him, but oh my goodness! He looked so handsome that she wanted to race across the room and hug him right away.

"Aren't you curious about the kind of woman who will end up with a man like him?"

Lisa slyly whispered. The old man stared at her and asked.

"Are you that punk's lover?"

"Omo. Ahjussi, you have quite a good eye."

"That punk hasn't been able to take his eyes off you this whole time. I doubt he was looking at me."

What the man said was true. Jungkook's eyes were directed at Lisa, who was sitting towards the back of room. She gave him a wink before she turned to the middle-aged man. She whispered to him in a stiff voice.

"You're correct, but why are you calling him a punk? He's a precious son of a household, too, you know? My man has a terrible personality, so he won't go easy on you even if you are his elder. He's a policeman in name only, you see. His behavior is totally like that of a gangster's."

"Then why do you like a punk like that, young lady?"

"He's too clingy with me. If I begin seeing another man, he's going to snap his neck. The things some people will do for love... So I decided to tolerate him. It's just easier that way."

"Hoho."

The man chuckled when he saw Lisa smile jokingly. Just then, the commendation ceremony concluded. All the members of the audience rose from their seats as they applauded.

Jungkook easily recognized Lisa from far away. He wondered why his father was sitting next to her, but that thought promptly flew out of his mind. When he saw her bright smile as she clapped with the audience, he quickly suppressed the urge to take her to a secluded place so that he could have his way with her.

***

Lisa followed Jungkook's instructions and waited for him at the promised location. Her head whipped from side to side as she looked for him. There was no one inside the movie theater room because the staff was currently preparing for the next screening.

What's going on?

She tilted her head. In the middle of the empty room, Jungkook was leaning back in the seat. When he saw her, he got up and called out.

"Over here."

Lisa let out a sigh of relief and began to make her way over to him.

"What's going on? Why are we here? You didn't actually book the whole room, did you?"

She was only joking, but Jungkook didn't deny it.

"I'll get in trouble if I walk around in uniform."

"Then you can just change."

"Who has time for that? I thought I was going to die of embarrassment because someone kept leering at me as I went up to receive my commendation."

"Why would you feel embarrassed?"

"Because of the bulge in my pants."

"Oh god."

So because of such a ridiculous reason, Jungkook had gone ahead and rented out a private VIP room at the movie theater. Was he seriously wasting money over something like that? As if he'd read her mind, Jungkook laughed languidly.

"We both know we won't just watch a movie at the movie theater."

A scoff burst out of Lisa's lips.

"Come here."

As soon as she sat down in the couple seat, Jungkook nose bumped into hers as if he'd been waiting for this moment. Just as his lips were about to lower for a kiss, Lisa pressed it back with her finger. Jungkook began to place small kisses along her hand.

"Excuse me... Won't they see us from the projection booth?"

"I'm a policeman. They won't do anything unnecessary."

Jungkook murmured as he handed her a glass of wine. Lisa took a sip. She looked at Jungkook, who was now completely focused on undoing the buttons of her jacket, and burst out laughing.

"What if you get in more trouble because you are police?"

"Then I'll stop being a policeman, I guess."

"Then what are you going to do for a living?"

Jungkook smirked at her.

"I've saved away some money as a director of KeumOh. If my superior officers betray me, I'll have to play my wild card."

At times like this, Lisa wondered if Jungkook was actually a bad guy. She looked at him as she shook her head.

"Are you really police?"

"What do I look like in your eyes?"

"A con artist lover?"

"I like that."

Jungkook replied softly as he smiled at her. He slowly pressed his hot lips onto her exposed shoulder. Seeing Jungkook in his uniform as his eyes burned with desire, Lisa felt as if she were under a spell. She calmed her throbbing body and turned around.

"Are you the one who picked this movie?"

"Yeah, why?"

"It doesn't suit you."

"It doesn't matter. From here on out, you and I are going shoot our own erotic movie."

Jungkook murmured as he lowered his disheveled face to lick her chest. Lisa gazed at this man who made her heart race and chuckled softly. Dramatic music filled the room as the screen brightened in front of them. The beginning credits of the movie began to roll.
