Ch. 40: Untitled

Hyunwoo

~in Kihyun's car~

"What were you doing down here," I asked as the red haired male drives toward the freeway exit.

"I could ask you the same thing," he says as he glances over to me before looking back at the road. 

"...I ask you first," I answered. 

"I was investigating."

"Investigating what?"

"A case."

"What case?"

"A case," he says flatly.

"..."

"I will tell you when I know for sure that what I found is concrete," he says as he merges onto the freeway.

"Why can't you tell me now? I can help. I'm the police," I offered in hopes that Kihyun would spill the beans.

"...if I need help, I will ask you."

*silence*

"So, when did you learn how to fight?"

"After my parents were murdered," he says with a expressionless look and with cold eyes. Needless to say, the air in the car got colder.

"Oh...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked...I," I began to ramble as I did not expect that answer to my question.

"It's okay. You did not know," he says with a business smile. I hate it when he smiles like that. It seems so fake.... so not him.

*silence again*

Kihyun exhales deeply as he continues to drive down the freeway. Not sure as to what to say, I simply placed my hand on top of his right hand that was on the gear shift and squeezed it slightly to comfort him. He glances at our joined hands and then to me. I smiled. He scoffs lightly before turning his hand up. I interlock our fingers and squeezed his hand lightly one more time. We stayed like that and didn't talk until we got to the precinct. 

He parks the car after I let go of his hand so he could do that. We got out of the car and Kihyun grabbed his briefcase from under his seat. He locks the car and walks toward the entrance with me. "So, you said that you have a case," he says.

"Yeah, it involved those guys earlier. They are suspected to be fences for a local drug ring," I replied as we stepped inside the precinct. 

"Ahh~, no wonder why their complexion wasn't that great," he says as we made our way to joint task force office. 

"Yep," I responded and then greeted the juniors who were walking past us. 

"What's their profile," he asks as we got to the hall where the office was. I explained it to him briefly until we got to the office. I picked up the file from my desk and handed it to him. He takes it and began to read it while sitting on the corner of my desk. As he read, I ended up watching him. His glasses rested near the tip of his nose. His eyes narrowed at current parts of what he was reading. He is chewing on his lower lip thoughtfully. His cheeks looked so soft. I wanted to touch it, but that would be weird if I did that randomly. 

*sound of someone snapping repeatedly*

I blinked rapidly and looked at the person who did it. Kihyun smiles genuinely this time and says, "Let's go interrogate those goons."
