You had to lie to your Boss through your teeth about Dae. Jungkook helped you come up with the idea that Dae had a family emergency and had to return to China without warning, and thankfully your boss bought it, hook, line, and sinker.
You were able to finish the story, pinning the big drug deal on the Black Roses, outing them to the Three Cities. That would take care of any stragglers that may have escaped during the chaos of the fight, and doubly ensure that they never came back. All in all, you were fairly smug about it, and at the end of the day, Jungkook wrapped you in a tight hug, beaming with pride.
Jungkook passed you a helmet, motioning you onto the back of his Harley as you grinned. It was good to have him back; you'd missed his cheery, happy demeanor and playful flirting. You slipped onto the back seat and settled in as Jungkook took the seat in front, turning to grin at you. He toed the kickstand up and gunned the throttle, the motorcycle purring beneath his touch.
"Where to, Lucky?"
"Huh?" You cocked your head to the side. "Shouldn't we go home?"
"We could, but I have something to show you, if you don't mind a little detour," Jungkook said, smiling slyly over at you.

"Well, now I'm curious. Show me, please?" You returned his grin as the assassin put the bike into gear and exited your work's underground lot. He pulled out onto the streets of Osan just as night was beginning to envelop the Three Cities.
Jungkook leaned right, opening the bike up as you wrapped your arms snugly around his lean waist. You rested your forehead on the back of his shoulder, enjoying the cool breeze. "Hard to believe it's almost March," you said into his ear above the wind, nibbling on your lower lip. "A lot's happened the last few months, hasn't it?"
"Mm," Jungkook hummed, turning onto a street that led into the hills, away from HAO. "It has. Remember back in October when I found you? Surrounded by Hoodlums, looking for a way out." Jungkook laughed. "You looked like a cat that had been rubbed backwards, all hissy and spitty. It was cute."
"Cute?!" You gasped. "I was in fear for my life!" You laughed and shook your head. "They really were trying to kill me, I think."
"Nah," Jungkook shook his head and grinned, turning down a narrow, one-lane dirt road leading up further into the hills. "They just wanted to scare you into complying, Lucky. But if you didn't go with them, then yeah. They likely would've hurt you pretty bad."
