The Truth Untold

Chapter 7 - The Calm Before the Storm

...

Just another boring day at work. Yesterday, Jungkook spent three hours in the archives. He had taken some files down and then stayed to help an old Noona to reach the top shelves, and today he literally played solitaire on his, now fixed, computer for a solid hour before it grew tired of it. It was the only game there, and he had to pretend to work every time Chief walked by since he deleted all the games from his phone to stop the temptation. He was slowly, but surely losing his mind from boredom. He stared at one spot on the wall when the familiar voice draw his attention.

-'' Hey handsome.'' - Hwasa walked towards him. – '' Whatcha doing?'' – She asks, seating herself on the top of his desk. Jungkook always kept the corner free for her.

He sighs with a heavy breath. –'' I am so bored, you won't believe how much.'' – He groans, and she made a face full of pity.

-'' Believe me, I do. I would go crazy locked up like that.'' – He says, nudging his knee with her leg.

-' Yeah, well...I just hope that I will be over with the punishment soon because this... '' – He shakes his head and huff an exasperated breath.

She says nothing at that.

-'' What do you think about that robbery and shooting at the penthouse?'' – He asks to change the subject.

She arches her eyebrows, thinking it through before she answers. – '' Shitty work, if you ask me. The guards were drugged and down, and yet they went in fully equipt with guns. Something doesn't add up, there. No sense. If they wanted to go peacefully, they would go lighter, stealthier, but ... this was loud and messy. Naah, something doesn't add up.''

-'' Who is handling the case?''

She hums, trying to remember. – '' I think Choi and Kim. They are good.''

Jungkook nods. – '' Yeah, they are one of the best.'' – Even he had to agree on that even though he didn't like those high-level assholes. He didn't know Choi Minho and Kim Kibum very well as persons, but he knew their work ethic and how good they are at what they do. – '' They will handle it well.''

Hwasa squints at him, a smirk forming on her lips. – '' You wish you had that case, don't you?''

Jungkook snorts loud. – '' Damn, I wish I had a missing wallet situation right now, to be honest.'' – They share a laugh at that before he continues. – '' But yeah, that case seems interesting, I wouldn't mind it at all.''

And still, Hwasa observed him silently, her thoughts running in her head as if she considered something.

-'' Wanna hit the streets?''- She asked after a while.

Jungkook's eyes widen at first but then settled to look at her in defeat. – '' You know I'm not allowed to.''

She smiled slyly. – ''Are you always doing what you are told?''

Jungkook's dead-panned expression spoke a thousand words, which made Hwasa chuckle.

-'' Yes, when you return from two months suspension after doing things you weren't allowed.'' – He spoke in a flat voice.

-'' Alright, I see your point.'' – She agreed. –'' But that doesn't mean you can't go out for lunch.''

-'' Oh, you mean that? I thought...umm. You know what, never mind.'' – Jungkook begin, but quickly dropped it, feeling disappointed.
