It's common knowledge in Seoul PD that Jeon Jungkook is the most talented and most handsome officer they have.
He's only twenty-three when he's promoted to Senior Officer. He leads one of the best emergency response teams in the entirety of Korea and had unearthed a large conspiracy about a large gang and a large company when he was just a rookie. Jungkook is the Golden Boy of the police department and no one can say otherwise.
It's also common knowledge that he's married. Happily, at that.
It only took one of the officers to ask him out on a date, and to their utter astonishment, was met with a noncommittal reply of:
"Oh. I'm sorry, but I'm married." He even said in a small shy tone, a dusting of pink resting on his cute cheekbones.
"B-but you don't have a ring?" The female officer queried, baffled.
"It might get caught in something, so I wear it as a necklace." Jungkook said as he fished out a chain from his neck as he said it.
(Twenty-one specific hearts were broken that day.)
"What did the ring look like?" One of the curious accountants in the department asked curiously.
"A thick engraved gold, with no jewels and it's absolutely tasteful." The female officer said dreamily. "I bet you a month's worth of my salary that it's real gold."
Which was quite unlike the Senior Officer as anyone who knows him also knows that he's a practical person when it came to fashion, and rarely wears anything other than his uniform and an assortment of black and white shirts. He does have some piercings but that was the extent of his accessorizing as much as they knew.
Some of the female officers wonder what kind of wife he has waiting for him at home because absolutely no one has seen said wife, not even a single picture. (Jungkook notoriously having no known presence on social media except for the occasional work groupchats.) Except that his wife has a habit of sending bouquets to the station at the most random dates. Sometimes to Jungkook himself, sometimes to people who helps Jungkook with something.
It happened to Yugyeom once, when he manages to take a bullet to the shoulder for Jungkook. The moment he gets back to the police department, his cubicle has a bouquet with at least a hundred flowers on it, and a small note with only a "Thank you for saving his life. - Tae"
("Tae? Maybe Taeyeon? Or Taehee?"
"You think his wife's the prim and proper type?"
"What if she's sexy and daring?"
"Tae, huh." Another one hummed dreamily.
"If I hear you girls sighing about that Kim Taehyung again, I'm going to assign you to the new batch of recruits." Their supervisor threatened as he passed by.
"We aren't talking about him for once!"
"Whatever. But I won't let it slide next time, capiche?"
"Kim Taehyung? Well, Speaking of Taetae, have you pre-ordered his new album Singularity? I hear there's going to be surprise track on the album!"
"Utopia or something, right?"
"It's Euphoria, idiot.")
They don't snoop though. That would break Jungkook's trust, and they could just ask, really. The prime opportunity came in the form of the police department's Christmas party.
