Will the jailbird fall in love with...
The next day rushed past before my mind could even register it. Breakfast, work, rounds, home, everything. It was evening already and I stepped out of mom's room after fixing her saline, sheets on her bed and even shifting her position to make sure she wouldn't wake up with bed sores.
"Haasa?" I called out when I heard the familiar ring tone of her phone going off in a distance.
When I recieved no response, I walked over to the kitchen to check on her. On entering I found out that the girl was nowhere to be seen, but her mobile was right there, on the counter, vibrating and ringing.
Walking over to it, I picked the device up and checked for the caller.
"Hyun <3 " it read. I smiled, spinning the device in my hand for a few seconds, wondering if I should just answer it or let it slide.
Talk about our nurse falling in love with the constable...I answered the call.
"Baby!" He cheered from the other side and I cringed immediately even though I found it adorable.
"Hyun, it's me..Ji Yeon. Haasa is probably in the washroom. I'll have her call you back in a while, yeah?"
"Yes ma'am! I'm so sorry! Okay! No, it's-"
"Hyun, calm down. I know about you two. You guys don't have to sneak around anymore" I chuckled.
"Thank you officer..ma'am? I'm sorry this is awkward" he spoke shyly and I only shook my head before ending the talk and cutting the line.
Holding the phone in my hand, I marched towards Haasa's room. Her door was left wide open and I entered, knocking firmly on the bathroom's door.
"You in there?" I yelled.
"Yeah! I'll be out in a minute!" She yelled back.
"I answered a call for you. Call them back when you get out" I spoke with my forehead pressed against the door and pulled away.
"Okay!"
It was 6.59 in the evening and by the time I reached my room, the clock had struck seven.
Taehyung had asked me out on a date and it was time. The boy was known to be on time, so I found it hard to believe that something had caused a delay. A more acceptable explanation would be that he had canceled the date.
But then, I realised it's just seven now and I was thinking a little more than I should be.
Taehyung : You ready?
Ji: No. Not coming.
Taehyung: alright.
What? No. He's supposed to force me into it right?
Ji: ok
I waited for a response but nothing came.
Ji: sorry
Again, nothing.
Ji: I really can't come today.
I tapped my phone against my lap as I plopped down on the bed.
Taehyung: You don't have to.
Ji:??
Taehyung: I'll come over instead.
My heart skipped a beat and I tossed my phone aside and rushed out. Dad was on extra duty and he could come back home any minute. I'd only have to prepare for the worst if he arrived to see V at front door.
Running over to the entrance of our house, I opened the door and stared at the red Audi that was parked in majestically.
I checked around once before looking back at the vehicle. I watched as Taehyung got out of it. The boy dressed in a simple striped pink button down shirt.

It wasn't until he was standing only inches away from me, waiting for me to open the door and let him in that I realised that I was staring shamelessly at the man.
"You can't just come in here like that!" I complained, even though a part of me was happy that he did.
"I can't?" He raised a brow, his tall form almost towering over me at this point.
"The car, needs to go" I spoke firmly before pushing the door further open and stepping in, "you, in!".
He grinned wide, his eyes leaving mine for a moment as he turned towards the driver who had driven him all the way here and did some figer action, I didn't understand. But the car was immediately taken away, disappearing from the scene.
"It smells like hospital and medicines" he mused and I quietly walked over to Haasa's room. Noticing that the shower was still running, I shut the door to her room and latched it from the outside.
"I want to meet mum" he grinned, almost like a little child that I wanted to squish.
I nodded, not a single word spoken yet as I guided him towards mom's room and let him in. She laid there with her eyes closed while Taehyung walked straight over to her and held her hand before taking a seat beside the bed.
Yesterday, I was irritated and angry with the man but now, I'd changed my mind. The only way to fix this complicated problem was to get to know him and then pick a side. Until then, I'd just have to stay neutral.
"Would you give us some privacy?" He asked and I shook my head.
Sighing , the boy inched closer to mom and I watched him closely. His fingers rubbed slow, comforting circles on the back of her hand as he spoke, "I'm Taehyung..the boy your daughter talks to you about". His eyes moved over to glance at me and I rolled my own.
"Ji is having a hard time without you mommy. You need to get back and spank her ass for the little shit she's being" he said and I chuckled.
"As much as I love your daughter" he started and I paid close attention, "She is dangerous and is causing trouble. I'm sorry, but I will have to get rid of her" he said at once before standing up.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Shush" he shook his head and reached out to open mother's eyes.
"stop it,Tae!" I snapped.
"I want your mother to watch you die" he smirked and pulled a gun straight out of his belt.
I shook my head before taking quick steps towards the door, attempting to leave the room, but the boy fired. My body halted and a gasp escaped my lips. With heart rate spiking up in a second and my breathing becoming shallow, I turned around. There was no pain. I wasn't shot but there was a hole in the wall right beside me and this time when I looked at the V, he had his gun pointed straight at mom.
