Catch Me | Jin x Reader

Ch 96 | Adjourned

Y/N's POV:

"The only complaint I have about this place is the outdated appliances and furniture," Dal's voice booms through the speakers. "We could use a few upgrades."

Your jaw slacks as you remember this conversation. Dal must've switched the recording on as he was shoving the envelope under that uneven desk at the police station.

"I also came out to the guys about Hoseok."

The courtroom erupts in chatter and Judge Man has to slam his gavel down a few times. You gently run your hand over Dal's thigh, giving him a warm smile. He knew he was being recorded at that moment, and clearly doesn't have an issue with it being broadcasted nationally.

The recording continues with you and Dal casually chatting about what photo Hoseok should use for their first couple post. Ji-Ho pauses the audio, stepping back to gesture towards your bench.

"Dal Jang, [Y/N]'s personal bodyguard, is whose voice you heard just now. He is the one who placed the microphone in the office for [Y/N]'s protection, and he also works part-time at the station. He did not make my client aware of the mic."

You look over at Sung-ho and watch his face pale as Ji-Ho mentions the police station office. The air in the room is thick, and your stomach is in knots from how nervous you are. Ana has to place her hand on your knee to stop it from bouncing.

"Young man," Judge Man says to Dal, leaning forward on his elbows. "Are you willing to testify, under oath, that what he says is true?"

"Yes sir I am," he answers confidently, giving your shoulder a squeeze since his arm is still tightly wrapped around you. Your chest floods with warmth as you melt into his side, and you take in his beautiful side profile and determined doe eyes.

"My client, Kim Seokjin, was also in the room," Ji-Ho adds. "You will hear his voice later."

Judge Man writes a few sentences down on his paper. "Was he aware of the mic?"

"He was," Ji-Ho nods. "But he did not know when it would be turned on or where it was."

"Alright," the judge nods. "You may continue, Mr. Lee." Your hands anxiously mess with the hem of your dress and Ana gives your knee a reassuring squeeze.

"That was quick," your voice echoes through the courtroom.

"Yep. They offered the deal before I could even get to it myself."

You hear Ji-Ho's voice and remember this as the moment he came back after meeting with Sung-ho's lawyers. You glance over and see Ma-Ri's legal team whispering to each other, probably trying to figure out a way to stop the recording.

"I'm going to take Seokjin back to tell his side of the story to the police," Ji-Ho says. "Stay here with Dal and don't let anyone in."

"Can we have a second?" Seokjin asks, "I just need a minute or two with [Y/N] before I go in there."

Time stands still for a moment as the gears start to turn in your head. Once reality sets in, your jaw slacks and your face turns beet red. Seokjin also seems to remember what's about to happen because his ears are bright pink, clear as day a few feet in front of you.

"Of course. Dal, stand guard outside and bring Seokjin to room 112 when he's ready."

"Are you okay?" you ask Jin.

"I'm okay," he answers. "Are you?"

"Oh shit," you whisper, slapping your hand over your mouth. At this point you have to bury your face in your hands. Ana seems a little confused but Dal knows exactly what's going through your head. Your kinky sex life is about to be exposed to the whole world.
