But Mama, I'm In Love With A Criminal.

Episode Twenty Four.

When they went back to the police station, there were few people left inside, arranging their things, preparing to go back home. They proceeded to go inside their section.

There was a sticky note attached on Seojoon's PC. He pulled it and read what's written on it.

Sir, I found something that could help regarding the hit-and-run case of Bae Joohyun and there might be an important detail connecting to V's 7th victim, but I'll provide it tomorrow. Good night, sir. -your subordinate.

"The hit-and-run victim might be related to V's 7th victim?" Seojoon mumbled.

He thought that he would think about it tomorrow since he's tired.

"Ah, that was draining." Seojoon groaned as he sat on his swivel chair.

"Do you want some chocolate, sir? I have an extra one." Jungkook offered him.

"No, thank you. I'm fine." Seojoon refused. "More importantly, you should go home. I'll organize my things here before I go home."

"All right, sir. See you tomorrow." Jungkook said.

"Take care, rookie." Seojoon said.

Jungkook knew he didn't exhaust himself that much, but why did he feel exhausted? The moment he arrived back at home, he would flop himself on his fluffy bed instead of eating something.

He hailed a cab and told the driver where he would go. He fished his phone inside his pants' pocket to see what's interesting. He regretted looking at the posted articles because it's about V, it totally ruined his mood, so he locked his phone.

He was about to return his phone inside his pants' pocket when it vibrated. He pressed the lock button to see who it was. It was a message from his mother.

Mama: Are you on your way home, son? Or it's overtime?

He smiled that it was his mother who messaged him, so he typed a message back.

: Don't worry, mama. I'm on my way home.

Mama: Have you eaten something to fill your stomach?

: Not yet.

Mama: There's a leftover inside the fridge.

: I see. Thanks, mama.

Mom: I love you, son.

: I love you too.

He hoped that he wouldn't worry his mother later because he didn't want to eat. He would make it up in their breakfast. He tapped the back button on his screen and saw Yein's thread of message.

He was thinking of sending a message, but he didn't bother because she might be asleep at this hour, so he would send her a message tomorrow.

He was pointing his gun at someone, but he couldn't see who it was.

"MR. JEON JUNGKOOK!" He opened his eyes wide the moment he heard his mother's yell.

It was like he was poured a cold water just by hearing his mother's yell that his body system was wide awake.

"I'm coming!" He replied. "I'll take a bath first!"

He went downstairs to proceed inside the bathroom to wash his face. He looked at his reflection and tried to remember what he just dreamed. No matter how he tried, he couldn't see the person whom he pointed his gun to.

After he took a bath and dressed up, he went to their dining area.

"Look at the time, Mr. Jeon!" His mother pointed at the wall clock. "If I didn't wake you up you'll be late!"
