"Its either him or me, Taecyeon."
"You can only choose one."
A story where Taceyeon, who is a successful lawyer, has to choose between the two lawyers he fell for while hiding his deepest and darkest secret.
(lowercase intended)
the first thing that joong-ki did when he got back home was to call the police.
"yes sir......yes......yes i've caught the murderer.......i can send the location.....sure....no problem....okay....sure....thanks."
he quickly sent the location to the police. the police said that they will capture the murderer, and thanked him for his help.
"w-wait a minute, whats all this?" taecyeon asked when he opened his door and saw the police standing there.
"ok taecyeon, you are under arrest for the murder of song moon-hyuk." the police officer boomed in his deep voice.
"w-what? taecyeon, whats happening?!" junho exclaimed, tears pouring down on his face when he saw the police cuff taecyeon's hands.
"its nothing, go inside." taecyeon ordered.
"but, whats going on? tell me, please!" junho said, crying.
taecyeon didn't reply. he got shoved inside the police car, then sat at the back.
"so am i being recruited as a police officer?" he joked, but immediately regretted it when he saw the glares from the police officers.
"you're going to be put in jail for the murder of song moon-hyuk, sir." the head officer said. "you can joke all you want right now, but i doubt you'll be able to smile when you're in that prison room."
(4 days later)
taecyeon roamed around his new home, prison. he was behind bars. he stamped his foot and laid down on the cold floor, wearing his brown prison uniform.
"48 hours until i go for questioning." he whispered, then laughed.
he closed his eyes, whistling to himself. he was bored. he wanted to do something. he looked around him. there was nothing much except a small bed and a cup of water on a tiny table beside the bed.
"ok taecyeon, you have a visitor." the assistant officer said.
minutes later he was taken to the visiting room. he sat there waiting for his visitor for a few minutes before someone came inside and shut the door behind him.
taecyeon looked up. then he smirked as the visitor sat down in front of him.
"still have the audacity to smirk?" joong-ki asked.
"i'll always have it." he answered.
"why did you kill him?"
"kill who?"
"my brother."
taecyeon sighed. "he was a drug dealer. he wasn't the ordinary attorney you thought he was. he killed people."
"well, so do you." joong-ki said coolly.
"i only kill people who are menaces to the society." taecyeon said, equally coolly. "i don't kill innocent people like him."
"well, perhaps you should kill yourself as well then." joong-ki said, leaning forward. if it wasn't for the bars, there would only have been 3 inches distance between them.
"i'm not a menace to the society." taecyeon said. "the thing is, joong-ki, you're such a successful italian-korean mafia that you don't-"
"what the hell? i'm not!"
"you are. don't try to fool me." taecyeon said, his eyes gleaming.
joong-ki fell silent.
"anyways, as i was saying, you're so successful that all it takes for you are just a couple of orders and you have the job done in no time by your people. but here, i'm not a mafia-"
"exactly. you're a serial killer." joong-ki said. "a serial killer who has no mercy for others."
taecyeon laughed. "a serial killer is different. a serial killer is someone who repeatedly murders someone who crosses the line. and-"
"you're so merciless." joong-ki said, shaking his head.
taecyeon shrugged. "what can i say? i'm a psychopath."
"you'll still be here for a long time. who knows, you might be here forever." joong-ki said.
taecyeon laughed. "you don't know me, joong-ki." he said. "i can get out of here tomorrow if i want to. no one's gonna stop me."
they both fell silent. joong-ki just stared at taecyeon. taecyeon looked at him, then smirked.
"look who's falling in love again." he said, his eyes running over joong-ki.
