Lover in Time [21+] JHS FF

EIGHTEEN

The week is almost at its end and Asha is frying to go see them. It's almost the day. As always when she gets home, I see that jerk following her, but today he is taking a step further. He arrested her.

As I see the scene, I get out of the house and run down the street. "Ehi, you piece of shit, what the hell are you doing?"

"She is under arrest for carrying ancient tech." I'm speechless.

"What the hell are you talking about, every one of us has at least one ancie at home. Take your handcuffs away from her and put in up into your ass. You limp dick."

"Oompa Loompa, another word and I'll arrest you too for insulting a time cop."

"You're not a time cop. You're just a trainee. Don't get full of yourself eunuch." I yell after him but he took her away eventually.

"Call Seo-Joon," I command interface.

-Solar what's wrong?-

-ThatsonofabitcharrestedAshaforcarryingancie.- I tell in one go.

-What?-

-Lucas took Asha away with a pretense.-

-Understood. Meet me at the station.-

-Ok, but what about her phone? They can't arrest her for having it but the content can be endearing.-

-Then take it with you and leave it with someone you trust.- immediately I thought of Dad.

-I know the perfect person.-

I'll go home. "Dad, can you hide this for me just for a couple of hours."

"What's this?"

"Asha's phone. The one they got her in the past."

"Ohh, but why are you giving this to me?"

"Dad, I don't have time, that worm arrested sis on a pretense."

"Lucas is back?" I nod.

Dad put the phone in the safe and pull me out of the house.

When we arrive at the police station, he is livid and angry.

"Where is that little bastard who dared to arrest one of my daughters?" He yells at top of his lung.

"Mr. Choi," an officer calls him. "What's the problem?"

Dad is well known by the time police and respected for his keen insight.

"Lucas Zang arrested my daughter under false pretenses. I want her freed this instant."

"The trainee said she owned many ancient techs."

"Where are the proofs?" Blasting his fist on the table. His veins on the temple visibly throbbing.

"We were about to interrogate the suspect."

His vein exploded so was his anger. "Don't fuck with me! Now, you understand I could have all of you fired with just a call, and you dared to call MY DAUGHTER A FUCKING SUSPECT?"

"Sir I didn't mean..." Another slam shut the man up.

"Call your commander." He demanded. "NOW!"

**************

"I told you I would make you regret it," Lucas tells me.

"You're sick you know. I didn't do anything wrong; I will be out in a second."

"Proof can be fabricated, you idiot." Smirking. Aww, disgusting. How could I ever find him attractive?

I look at our wrists and giggle. "I think the only idiot here is you."

He raises his hand and slaps me hard. "Ouch!" I yell. "Are you losing it?"

"Now your 'boyfriend'," air quotes, "Is not here to stop me. I can do whatever I like with you."

The door slams open and Seo-Joon enters. As soon as he laid eyes on my face, he outrages and pins Lucas on the wall. "Who gave you the right to beat her, you filth."

"Aggression! Aggression!" Lucas starts to scream, but no one comes in.

"Oh, it looks like someone has been abandoned," Oppa said laughing. "You better release her now, before your situation worsen."

"Oppa it can't be worsened than already is. He didn't take off my interface or his. It's all registered." I chuckle.

The door opens again, this time who enters are Solar, her dad, and the commander.

They look at me, handcuffed at the table with a bruised cheek. Solar whines while her dad punches Lucas hard. "You dared to lay hands on my daughter? Are you so willing to die?"

"Mr. Choi, please calm down." the commander speaks reassuringly. He comes near me and freed my wrist. "Are you alright miss?"

"I will be better." Massaging my aching wrist.

The man logs in my interface and his. Collecting all evidence of his stupidity. Until he came up to the conversation where he admits to having sex with the commander's daughter for getting a place in the police and my exploit of calling her a bitch. He looks at me and all I can say is only a pathetic 'sorry'.

"I know it's not your fault miss, it's all this rat greed. Trainee Zhang from this moment you are expelled from the time police force and under arrest for using us in your scheme. Take him away."

"Asha, are you all right, dear?"

"Yes, Uncle. I'm good now thanks to you all." He hugs me and kisses my forehead.

"Good, now we can go home. Your mom prepared a birthday cake for you." He tells me circling my shoulders. "Seo-Joon, you're invited too. Let's go."

"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday Asha, Happy birthday to you." They sing and I blow the candles.

"Thank you," I say smiling.

"Now the gift," Hyunjin says giving me the present.

When I see the content, I cry hard in a mix of joy and sadness.

It's the photo that was hung at the restaurant in Jeju. "How...how did you?" I'm at loss of words.

"Solar told us, everything." Her mom says. "And we thought you would like it."

I stand up and run to her hugging her thigh. "Thank you, Mom," I tell her without thinking. "Thank you, Dad." Hugging her husband.

They start to cry. "This was supposed to be your birthday gift, but we received one instead." She has tears running down her cheeks. She hugs me. "Thank you, dear. We couldn't be happier." Then also her husband comes to hug me.

I never called them mom or dad, never, but at that moment they were what was most near to a parent that I ever had. To our embrace add also Hyunjin and Solar.

The party got on and on with us singing and dancing. I almost forgot that tomorrow is Tae's birthday and my last time seeing them. I sadden instantly at the thought but I know is the best choice. For me and them.
