Knowing - jikook au

Authority.

Authority. You can't really say your relationship with your police officer boyfriend is strong, until you make them abuse their authority to get you confidential documents, now can you? At least, Taehyung didn't think so.

Taehyung strutted smugly into the hospital behind Namjoon, who was in uniform, a proud smile on his face. His wonderful boyfriend had printed out a warrant and (being in a position of authority) filled it out, enabling him access to the hospital's records of a certain Park Jimin. Now Taehyung felt like his investigation was getting somewhere. Now he felt like he was truly able to help Jungkook, who walked confidently beside him. Despite this confidence, Taehyung could still sense the nerves twisting around in the other man's stomach, and he could see signs of it in his body language - the way he fiddled with the hem of his shirt, the slight turn of his head as he shiftily looked around at the people in the reception area of the hospital, little things like that. But Taehyung's smugness and confidence poured into Jungkook, enabling him to relax a bit. Namjoon's authoritative strides and strong posture also helped to calm him, knowing that no secrets could be kept from an officer of the law. Well, they could, but it was like... illegal and stuff as Taehyung had so intelligently put it that morning whilst they were eating their cereal.

The three men stopped in front of the front desk and Namjoon smiled politely to the receptionist, who looked up with heart-eyes. It's no denying that Namjoon was a charming man, and looked particularly sexy in his police uniform. It took all Taehyung had not to put his chin on his boyfriend's shoulder in a possessive way - their story would be less believable if he didn't stay professional. But still... he wanted to take the girl's spinny chair and push it down the corridor, effectively wheeling her out of their lives.

"Hello, I'm officer Namjoon and I've been given jurisdiction to check patient files with a couple of my witnesses. Is there somebody I can see about this?" Namjoon smiled at the woman again, hoping to charm her into doing everything he wanted. Taehyung smiled too, hoping to warn her not to get too close to his mega hot, authoritative boyfriend. Jungkook rocked from the balls to the heels of his feet impatiently, wishing the woman would stop staring at Namjoon and just find the person they needed to talk to already.

"Indeed, let me just call one of our senior doctors for you gentlemen," the receptionist smiled flirtatiously and picked up the phone with her delicate, manicured hands. She tapped in a number and put the receiver to her ear. There was silence as the phone connected, and then she spoke. "Hello Doctor Lee - yes, I'm fine thank you - yes - indeed - I'm phoning because there is a fine officer of the law at reception, he's got a warrant to look at a patient file. Yes - yes I'm aware - of course Doctor - yes, I'll direct him - okay - okay great, goodbye!" The nurse chirped, before putting the receiver back down. She looked up again to see Taehyung clinging onto Namjoon's right arm, glaring at her, which he'd been doing since he heard 'there is a fine officer of the law' leave her mouth. Fuck looking professional - he could save that for the doctor.

"Doctor Lee can see you, he's in his office, which is up one floor and on the left when you get out of the lift. I can take you there, if you'd like?" The woman questioned, making to stand but stopping when Namjoon raised a hand in an authoritative way.

"That's quite alright madam," he replied, wondering if his arm was going to fall off from where Taehyung had cut off his blood circulation. Well, at least he was in a convenient place to lose a limb. "Thank you for your help, have a wonderful day." He smiled again and then started leading the two men down the corridor and to the lift. Taehyung finally let go when the lift doors shut, and Namjoon placed a quick peck on his cheek. Jungkook stared at doors, willing them to open as impatience wracked his mind. When the lift binged, the three men stepped out into the corridor, quickly identifying Doctor Lee's office - it wasn't a hospital room, but rather a private work space, kind of like when teachers have their own classroom but also have their own office in a different part of the school. That's what it reminded Taehyung of, anyway.
