The Unexpected (Namkook)

Part 28

A pair of lips on his palm was the first thing he felt while waking up. As the eyes were rubbed with fist of the free hand, Namjoon saw Jungkook dozed off in while sitting on the bed beside him holding his band which was brought near his own lips to kiss. He smiled and tried to get up, waking up the elder in the process.

Jungkook got startled after the unexpected motion and helped the other to sit up. He was careful enough to not let Namjoon feel a bit of excess pain than it already was.

Seeking for the attention, Namjoon dragged his body towards the elder to join in a hug earning some peck on the forehead.
"I don't want you to go away." The pleading voice of Namjoon made the other go crazy as a result of which he backed away and captured those squishy pair of lips again.

The romantic friction between the two different set of lips accompanied by the close embrace and satisfying moans was making Jungkook feel things that he didn't want to act upon. Namjoon parted his lips to allow the man, now boyfriend, go on an exploring spree in the deep cavern of his mouth.

The boy was gently laid on the bed again with the muscular man towering him while the act of romance was still continuing. Jungkook's hands found their way inside Namjoon's clothes and the contact between the two skins became most pleasurable one for the younger. He tightly fisted Jungkook's shirt pulling him closer to make the most out of this moment.

The kisses were spread across the face, neck, shoulders and as the shirt was pulled up from Namjoon's body, blood clotted patches were visible that broke Jungkook's heart all over again. He started peppering his body with kisses starting from waist to chest emitting delightful moans. They both were in their own world of happiness which got disrupted as Jungkook's phone rang up.

Disappointment was evident in both the faces at the disturbance of this intimate moment that had the healing power for a sore body of Namjoon and an aching heart of Jungkook.

"Kai, did you find anything?" The phone discussion continued while Jungkook was helping Namjoon put his t-shirt back.
"There is something odd, Jeon. I think it's better if you come to the lab." Looking at their connected hands, Jungkook mouthed a 'sorry' to Namjoon signalling he needs to leave that made the later almost teared up.
"I will be there, Kai."

He cut the call to kiss his boyfriend again on the lips during which Namjoon roughly pulled the elder's hair to express his objection of the other leaving.
"Ouch!" Jungkook groaned in a chuckling to after breaking the kiss.
"This is what you will get if you try to leave." Namjoon's warning voice came out cute rather than scary and he got pulled into his boyfriend's chest.

"I can never think of leaving you, baby. My friend called and this is for you only. I promise to be back soon but before I go, I need you to do something."
"What is it?" A faint voice asked against Jungkook's chest without raising its head. The elder kissed on the head and pulled the younger away from the hug to talk.

"Do you remember how your previous ID holder got lost or damaged?"
"I don't know, I usually keep the card in my pocket and never really used the holder. In my previous year, there was a grumpy professor who demanded everyone to put on the IDs in his class. He made us wear it the whole year but after that I just dumped it into my locker. For the recent submissions and presentations, I requested a new one and that's what you saw me wear that day."

Jungkook was hesitant to share every information with Namjoon right now due to his lack of mental strength at the moment and he just wants the best for his loving boyfriend.

"Okay, next one is the jacket you wore on the day we went for brunch."
"I totally forgot about that." Namjoon became aware of his missing jacket right now as his head and heart have been occupied with Jungkook's thoughts after that brunch.
"It has patches of blood that matches with that of the person, Lee Kun-woo who tot murdered by his wife."

"Blood? In my jacket?" Namjoon's eyes were almost trying to come out of the socket in shock.
"Yes. Did you lend that jacket to someone else?"
"No! I never share my clothes with anyone. As you already know, I don't even have any close friends and that jacket was an expensive one that my father gifted me, I wore it only once in college and the next in our brunch date."

Namjoon put a finger on his lips uttering the word 'date' which wasn't left unobserved by Jungkook.
"We will go out on millions of dates after everything gets sorted, Namjoon." A kiss on the lips followed again making the other pink in shyness.

"Just try to remember something that you took off the jacket anywhere or anything that might seem fishy."
"Okay, I don't know what's happening, Jungkook."
"I will figure this out in no time, that's a promise."
Two pecks on the cheeks were added to uplift the younger's mood.

"The last one, wait." The unlabelled evidence box was in Jungkook's car but bringing it back and forth will cost some time, so he picked up his phone lying on the bed and opened the gallery to find the painting's picture.
"This one" He turned the phone towards Namjoon saying, "This painting was purchased by you last year. Do you remember anything about this?"

Namjoon's expression curved up in shock recognising the painting.
"This is a masterpiece of Daichi Takahashi!" The name sounded extremely familiar to Jungkook who crossed checked some other pictures to verify it was the name of the artist.
"So you bought it?"
"Yes! I bought this one along with few others. I have this weird obsession with art as you have might seen. I bought these for Christmas and now I don't remember whom did I gift this to. Mostly relatives but this one I really need to think."

Jungkook held his hands to make him relaxed as Namjoon seemed to be panicking at the loss of memory of the gift.
"Hey! It's okay. Just try to think and I will be back. In case you remember anything, please call me immediately, Namjoon."
"I will."

With one last kiss, Jungkook left for the forensic lab leaving Namjoon immersed in the recollection of past.

********

Jungkook almost threw himself on the chair after reading Kai's test results. Everything is getting way more complicated than it has been previously. With each passing second, things are getting more mysterious and confusing.

"I am super confused!"
"Let me explain" Kai turned the computer screen towards his friend and continued, "excluding the fingerprints of Lee couple and the supposed suspect you mentioned previously."
Namjoon's name was still kept secret from Kai, so he used some random term.

"There is this person who has touched the small piece of ID holder found from Lee residence, the jacket as well as the painting. I'm pretty sure of some involvement of this person in this whole mess."

Jungkook nodded in agreement, gathering some positivity for the case while his phone rang up with Ho-sin's number. He was surprised to see the junior lady officer calling him on his day of leave but picked it up anyway.

"Ho-sin shi, what is it?"
"Sir, please don't tell anyone I called you. It's been almost 2 hours that Sung-ho sir went with a locksmith and inspector Won to the Lee residence. There are some urgent things going on related to other cases and I tried to call both of them but none is answering me."

Ho-sin was a sincere and honest lady who valued her profession. She will never be bothered of something that's usual. Coming up with some scary assumptions, Jungkook cut the call telling her to wait at the bureau and be ready if she gets a call.

"Sir, please! Don't do this to me. I have a wife who waits for me to return home everyday."

"Why the hell would I care about your family, Sung-ho? You were just fine and minding your own business. When did you suddenly befriend that Jeon, huh?"
"I was wrong about Jeon. He is a good man of virtues. Even though he is junior to me, I have learnt a lot from him. Please leave us out of this, sir."

"Oh no! How can I? You two best friends or blood brothers or whatever you name it, will have a great time in heaven together. First you and then Jeon. I hope he will be at his home crying for that poor boy, right?"

A thunder of bullet triggering quaked the whole place followed by loud cry of Sung-ho.
