Opposites Attract

{26} Overkill

'Success.'

We left the place once I got ready and were at the police station in no time. Wahh it's been a while since I came here.

I went towards my desk and plopped down on the seat. I turned to Jimin and he welcomed me with a bright smile. But when I turned to Nina unnie's desk I was greeted with her empty seat. My heart dropped immediately.

'Why did I even do something like that?' I wondered. But then I suddenly slapped my face which kind of had Jimin confused but I didn't bother to explain.

'That's enough! Y/n is back in business! No rest, no more fooling around and most importantly, no more being swifted away with feelings.' I scolded myself.

"Hey I just needed to-" a man came in casually focused in the bunch of pages in his hands but when looked up, stopped in his tracks and stared at me, not finishing his sentence.

"Ahh, hey Namjoon hyung!" Jimin greeted standing up. I looked at Jimin for a second and then at the Namjoon guy. Now who the hell is he?

He casually comes and sits at Nina unnie's table not taking his eyes off of me, a frown permanently stuck on his face. How dare he take her spot?

Jimin came in between us and introduced the guy to me.

"Areum, this is Namjoon. He has been transferred two days ago from the Local Police of Ilsan district. And Hyung this is Areum, an intern."

"Heh. Cool to see you guys letting a little girl work on such a dangerous mission." He snorted before sipping on his hot drink.

"Actually, the man is unfortunately Areum's father." Jimin explained and the guy almost spit his drink back into his cup.

'Can I strangle you to death you're annoying.' I thought.

"So it's you?! You're Areum?! THE AREUM?!" He asked being so surprised that it felt like I was a crazy famous idol.

"Ahh....yes." I answered awkwardly.

Namjoon was about to say something when Taehyung interrupted him.

"Meeting in 10. See you guys there!" He announced.

The three of us looked at each other exchanging smiles and then sinking into work.

At the meeting I did unbelievably well.

"Are you sure you can do this?" Taehyung asked sitting beside me in the meeting room and holding my hand really tight. I nodded with a smile. He smiled back and quickly stole a kiss on my cheeks when no one was looking. It doesn't surprise me anymore as it had become a constant thing among us.

Jimin turned on the projector and the room went dark. Pictures of a dead body of some girl taken from different angles were flashed on the screen. I looked closely and realised it's not just some random girl. It's her. My sister.

Unexpectedly, I didn't break down or cry which Taehyung had expected because he looked at me with concern, tightening his grip on my hand.

"Looking at the...body it's clear that the girl was badly abused in the past." Jimin looked at me but continued immediately when I nodded at him signalling him to continue.

"But after the kidnapping from the hospital, there have been no new bruises on her body. Cause of death- head being smashed multiple times with an axe and also shot with a gun 4 times. Overkill. Yes he was only making sure that she was dead. This proves she must have tried to report her father or find her little sister." Jimin ended pointing me as I hung my head low.

"You okay?" Taehyung asked in a whisper looking extremely concerned but I nodded with a smile again to let him know it's okay. It doesn't bother me anymore honestly. I don't feel anything at all anymore.

Everyone exited the room while I remained along with Taehyung, Jimin and Namjoon.

"Areum I hope you've met Namjoon already?" Taehyung asked. I nodded while my head still hanging low.

"Hey Areum! You know it's worth losing something to gain something better. What your dad has done is undeniably wrong but this way your urge to see him rotting away in jail is at a much higher level right?" Namjoon cheered.

I clenched my jaw at the thought of that man. He took two precious things away from me. He'll have to lose some too.

"You're right! Let's work hard and put that asshole in jail." I tried to sound cheerful but how can I. I don't even have the energy to feel anything anymore.

Taehyung signalled the two to leave the room so he could talk to me alone.

"Y'know this guy has an IQ of 148 can you believe that?!" He said seeming amazed. He was probably trying to lift my mood and make me smile.

"No wonder he's in the team now. He even sits at Nina unnie's place."

Sweet talk to me babe, it's magical. Sweet lullaby~~ How you like that? [I'm not drunk....in case you're wondering....yeah.]
