The Police Officer who Handcuffed Me 👮‍♂️ ▪︎▪︎▪︎

Cuff 11

"You didn't have to do that." I quietly say as walked to where he parked his motorcycle, It's already very late when we finished, well, he, finished helping so-won with her project.

"It's no big deal. It was easy."

"Ok smart ass." He chuckles and silence came between us but it wasn't awkward. Comfortable even.

"Do you mind if we take a walk a little bit longer? I need to digest all that peanuts." He grumbles, patting his stomach and I laugfhed, nodding.

"Sure, I feel bloated too." we ate the peanuts we bought from the father and daughter.

"Why didn't you stop ahjusshi from opening those packets." he squints his eyes on me.

"I didn't realize he'd open so much." I chuckled remembering why we ended up eating a bunch of peanuts. I was focused watching namjoon teaching so-won and ahjusshi is handng out the opened peanuts to me which I blindly took and just pass it to them and eat some myself too. I only realized he opened too much when so-won pointed it out.

"I don't think I'll be able to eat peanuts for a month." I laughed at his remark.

"How are you so good in english?" I asked as we continued walking without any direction in mind.

He glanced at me before answering, his dimples showing as he smiles "Cartoons. I used to watch a lot of cartoons during my childhood and then movies as I grew up."

"So you just learned all that by watching tv?"

"At first yeah, then I took English as a subject in school too."

"Understanding what they're saying is enough or me." I shrugged

"What if you travel?"

"All I need is my phone and data."

"What if there's no signal?"

"I've got multilingual bitches." he laughs quietly

"What if you travel alone?"

"Why should I be alone when I could travel with you?" I winked at him and he literally froze on his tracks making me laugh hard

"What are you? allergic to flirting?" I snorted and he just stood there, looking intently at me. My smile faltered and I playfully scoffed, looking away "fine, I'll stop teasing."

"I think we walked long enough." what is up with him? what was that stare all about? It didn't look like he was pissed, I couldn't quite describe how he looked at me. It was silent on the way home with me thinking of all possibilities as to what that look meant.

"I'll just contact you for the last date." I just nodded and he turned to leave since he's such a gentleman that he didn't just drop me off. He literally walked me to my door.

I don't like overthinking. It is not my style so I blurted out "What's up with you?" He paused in taking one more step and turned to me, looking around incase I was talking to someone else.

"Me?" I walked towards him, crossing my arms over my chest, chin up.

"Yeah you. What was that stare all about?" He avoided my gaze. See? I told you there was something with that stare and I'm not just assuming.

"It's nothing." he quickly say and bowed to continue on his way.

"No it's not. I could literally see you building your walls when you froze earlier." He then looked straight at me and I was quite taken aback.

He was silentfor a moment, probably contemplating to tell the truth. "You remind me of her."

He finally say and I raised a brow "your girlfriend?"

"She's not my girlfriend..." I tilt my hea at him then gave him a teasing grin

"awweee were you friend-zoned?" he lightly shook his head and bid his goodbye

"You still owe me one date!" I called out and laughed as the elevator closes. I stared at the closed metal doors, my smile fading and chewed on my inner cheeks. I am bothered. So what if I remind him of another girl? I shook my head and was going to turn to our unit when lisa and jungkook came up the stares, both looking dazed.

I watched as they both looked straight ahead blankly that someone would find it creepy if they're not me. "What are you two doing?" My suspicion grew when lisa squealed and hopped on to jungkook's arm which he instinctively raised, ready to catch her.

"Jisoos hyejin! You scared us." they both sighed in relief seeing it was just me.

"Why were you two looking so out of it?" Lisa hopped dow from his arms and cleared her throat, flushing

"I don't know what you're talking about." I smirked seeing her trying to avoid my gaze. Something is up.

"We're just going to sleep now. bye!" Jungkook pulled lisa to his unit leaving me squinting at his closed door. Something's going on with those two. I was going in our unit when I stopped again seeing something on the floor which wasn't there earlier. They must've dropped it. I slowly walked towards it and bent down to pick it up but froze midway seeing what it was. My eyes widened and I laughed out loud. No wonder they looked the way they did.

I kicked it slowly and carefully with my foot and positioned it on jungkook's door just to make sure they won't miss it when they open the door and rang the doorbell multiple times "You dropped something! Hurry and get it before someone else does!" I hollered and chuckled, finally able to go inside my unit.

It wasn't long when I received a text from lisa saying not to tell anyone just yet and I giggled, typing a reply

I don't know... what can you give me to shut my mouth?

A smile is etched on my lips as I wait for her reply.

You bitch. I laughed when I guessed what she'd say but replied to assure her I won't say anything. I took a half bath next and got to bed.
