thriller, heejake

07

dont be a quiet reader! how is it so far? 

jake grimaces as he pulls his jeans up just a little, avoiding touching the burnt items and ash on the ground.

of course the crime scene they're investigating is a burnt ass club.

 "baby~" jake calls out to heeseung who's busy taking pictures of the crime scene.

heeseung grimaces, done with jake, he stands back up towering over jake easily. jake smiles as cute as he can, heeseung's so dreamy and tall.. 

"i'm not comfortable with your flirting, so.. please stop." heeseung pokes jakes chest with a glare and walks around more easily even through all the ash. 

what is heeseung saying, he literally wants a boyfriend.. he sighs before shaking his head. right, he's not comfortable with jake's flirting. 

he's not comfortable with jake himself!

jake keeps constantly gazing at heeseung, acting all cute - which heeseung certainly doesn't even find cute, and.. he's just a complete weirdo. 

jake huffs with a small pout, he's not angry in any way. he kneels down beside heeseung. "my bad, i was just kidding, y'know?" jake hums with a smile.

heeseung rolls his eyes and snaps another picture of the crime scene. 

trying his best staying away from the ash, and burnt stuff was pretty hard for jake. if he stares too long, it's like he can hear faint screams in the back of his mind..

jake clenches his fists and takes a deep breath. 

"so, why are we at a club? can there even be a robbery around here. i thought famous criminals like jaehyun don't go around and steal purses and bags from ladies dancing around - at least, not me."

heeseung sighs. "rumored. my chief wanted me to check it out." he murmurs as he takes a look around. "what, you don't think there was a robbery here?" 

"not a robbery, but jaehyun likes clubs. he was probably even the slighest mad to burn all this shit down" jake shrugs making the older turn towards him. "so you're positive he was here?"

with a gesture towards a mushed cigarette jake nods. "notice how that isn't a common brand, jaehyun loves smoking that shit."

once again grimacing heeseung takes a photo of that too, with his camera looking like a detective back in the 80's. he puts the polaroid - photo in his bag like he did with the rest. "his breath must be ass, he's gonna have bad lungs and die in jail." 

so heeseung doesn't like people who smoke. jake checks his breath, his lower lip sticking out unconsciously. "i smoke though."

heeseung blinks glancing at jake and pauses before turning back. "then quit." 

jake does feel like quitting, he hates having to carry around a lighter. even a glimpse of fire makes his mind race. yet he always feels the need to light his cigarette and smoke. 

smiling, jake flutters his eyelashes. "ah, you must care so much about me..~"

weirdo, they've only met for a few days after despising each other - then it hits him, did jake also hate him? probably not.

he seems way too into heeseung. maybe deep down heeseung feels smug about that.. only because that means he really does pull, just not the guy he wants, of course. 

heeseung focuses on looking around with his camera, trying to find one last part to take a picture of before he feels intense staring on him. 

is that jake?

heeseung turns the camera slowly towards jake and yelping when jake leans closer tilting his head, he accidentally took a picture of jake too.. 

he exhales with narrowed eyes at jake. 

now his hands are covered with ash. jake gets up humming as he brushes off non existence ash he didn't let get on him. "done? let's go, i dont like this place." jake says as he glances at the.. inappropriate posters. 

heeseung better not even glance at those. 

the older fumbles with his camera trying to put everything in his bag and catch up.

he blinks when he gazes at the polaroid of jake tilting his head, with his face close to the camera.

heeseung shoves it in his bag. for research purposes.. he gets up and jogs to catch up with jake. it seems to be raining again. 

what ass weather. 

before jake can turn to heeseung, heeseung pulls the umbrella over himself and walks in the rain leaving jake behind. 

jake blinks. he huffs as he runs quickly going under the umbrella startling heeseung.

now why did this man look surprised, was jake supposed to get soaked when there was a clear umbrella right in front of him? 

"learn to be a gentlemen before we marry." 

to save jake from embarrassment, thank god he was mumbling, 

heeseung tilts his head in confusion when jake places his hands on heeseung's which are holding the umbrella. "what? can't you call a cab. and let go." 

heeseung tugs away the umbrella making jake hmph with a bratty glare. 

what is wrong with this guy? 

"please?" jake flutters his eyelashes with a smile before quickly putting his hands on heeseungs again clearing his throat as they walk in the pouring rain.

the taller boy sighs too exasperated to pull back. 

once they arrive at the police station, heeseung tugs back his arm a moment too quick and enters,

jake feels a bit disappointed.

he shrugs it off and enters behind heeseung, jake gasps looking around at the offices and hardworking people.

it seems quite busy, jake shoves his hands in his pocket. 

heeseung takes out all his polaroids and places on the desk of his co-workers' with an exhale. "we have no dna to compare anything there to, so i didn't bring any items. but we know those cigarettes arent very common, so it's most likely cho."

jake snoops as he gets on his tippy toes to gaze at the pretty co worker over heeseung's shoulders. "yup." he confirms, which wasn't really needed.

heeseung, startled from the noise behind him sighs exasperated once again. "there's a spot right beside me, why are you peeking over my shoulder.."

"ah, yup." jake nods again feeling the slightest embarrassed as he moves to stand beside heeseung.

the 'pretty' co worker nods as she gathers all the polaroids placing it in a folder. does heeseung always work with pretty people? that's not good. 

what if he quickly finds someone.. 

on the other hand, heeseung hasn't found anyone in years of being graduated.

just as the co worker is about to turn heeseung pulls her back with a blink. "hey, who is this guy staying with? certainly not me right?" he gestures towards jake who's poking at a fish tank with doe eyes. 

"i'm not sure. i'm pretty sure he's staying with you, c'mon, just have him sleep at the living room of your nice apartment." she shrugs and turns away. 

heeseung's apartment is too small for him himself.. why should he let that mutt sleep in there!

he turns around with a huff and blinks when jake isn't at the fish tank anymore. heeseung looks around quickly and finds him all the way across the office petting another co workers puppy with a grin.

heeseung sighs and rubs the bridge of his nose..
