"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."

"Night shifts are the craziest, I swear." Seokjin complains. "I'm exhausted."
"You sound exhausted." Chantelle snorts as she steps through the front doors of headquarters. "What time did you get home last night?"
"Around five am." He yawns. Through the phone, she can hear the rustling of his bedsheets. "I just woke up so I could give you a quick call."
"How sweet of you." She smiles softly.
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Chantelle can practically see the blush that appears on his cheeks whenever he feels embarrassed. "What are your plans for the day?"
"Just to tag along with Joon and Yoongi as usual." She sighs. "I still haven't been assigned my own case yet, so.."
"I'm sure Lieutenant will give you something soon. I mean, you've been back at work for a month now."
"She probably just doesn't want to throw me in too quick." Chantelle reasons. "I just got done with physical therapy and I'm still taking pain meds. But I feel kinda useless, you know?"
"Why don't you talk to her?" Jin asks. "Tell her you're ready to get back in there."
"I'll try if I can find her. You know she's always all over the place." She sighs. "I'm getting in the elevator now so I gotta go. I'll talk to you later."
"Bye, babe. Have a good day."
"I will, bye."
As Chantelle ends the call, she enters the elevator that will take her up to the homicide unit. And all the while, she can't stop smiling.
She's finally back to doing what she loves after months of healing and gaining strength back in her arm. And on top of that, she has a wonderful boyfriend that she's been seeing for two months.
Chantelle never saw herself getting back with an ex. But they were young and immature when they dated, which is probably why things didn't work out the first time. Seokjin is very sweet, caring, and more than willing to take things slow after what happened with Taehyung.
She just wants to make sure he likes her for her and not for her body, which he's perfectly okay with.
