He's Only 4 Me: A Sunoo x Enhypen Story

(IV)

Taehyun's phone started ringing the second he dropped off Jungwon.

"Damn cop car GPS," he laughed as he pressed the button for the speaker phone.

"Yes, guys?"

"Ohhh myyy goooOOOD DID YOU HEAR THAT?!?!?" Han screamed into the phone.

Taehyun made a face and turned down the volume on his speaker. "I did."

"What do you guys think?" Changbin asked, "aside from Nishimura being super creepy?"

"I don't know what to think, honestly." Taehyun told them, "because if he lied to us - twice, it would seem - then what else is he hiding?"

"Ya'll always criticize the way I tell that story, but I'm telling you guys he's manipulative as shit."

"But no one will ever catch up to him," Hyunjin added.

"I don't know, guys. And I don't know what we should do. I guess just...watch? Make sure everyone's safe?" Taehyun said.

"Are you going to tell Jungwon?"

"Why? And worry him for nothing?"

"He looked pretty worried to me," Hyunjin said, "after we told him about the security camera."

"Look, Jungwon seems like he'll investigate on his own if he's that concerned," Taehyun said.

"And probably do a better job than we do," Changbin laughed, "we should recruit him."

"Seriously," Han said, "plus he's SO ADORABLE."

"I gave him my number in case he needs anything. The only thing really on his mind now is why the hell the guy is just taking whatever sentence he's given with no trial, not even an attempt at a lesser charge, and no request for lighter sentencing."

"Do you know why he's doing that?" Hyunjin asked.

"Nope. I just know that everything's done. He has to appear before the judge next week I think for official sentencing, but..."

"Well, keep us posted. I'll talk to you guys later," Han hung up.

Everyone else said their goodbyes and Taehyun let out a heavy sigh. He knew Beomgyu would worry. He had become more and more worried in the last couple of weeks as Taehyun became increasingly stressed. He had been glad that Taehyun was going out.

But he couldn't hide stuff from him, and he knew that as soon as he walked through the door his face would show everything.

He didn't trust his partner at all anymore.

****
It wasn't until Jungwon had finally gotten into his apartment and set his stuff down that he saw all of the missed calls and texts from Jake.

His heart began to race. He had barely heard from him since he abruptly "couldn't deal", so what could possibly be so important NOW?? 

All of the texts just said "we need to talk" and then variations of "as soon as possible," "where are you?" "Can we meet up?" 

Jungwon looked at the clock: 2:30am. Under normal circumstances he wouldn't bother someone at this hour, but given the number of calls...

He pressed call and waited for an answer. 

There was a knock at his door, and he jumped.

Still on the phone, he went to look through the peephole. Waiting anxiously, he saw Jake.

He hung up the phone and gestured for Jake to come inside.

"What the hell, Jake? What could be so important...?"
