arrest me (lee hyunjae)

"Do we even have any evidence?" Director Han said, scratching his head in confusion. "Why do you suddenly want to bring in the Mr. Shin?"

"We don't need evidence. Can't we just question him? We just need to bring in Mr. Choi who's supposed to have the evidence." Yujin replied while busily cleaning the scattered papers strewn on her desk into neat, little piles before she grabbed her keys.

"I'm taking Jiwon for this one. We'll bring in the President without alerting the media. I promise." Jiwon snapped her head up at the mention of her name.

"Let's go." Yujin said excitedly dragging the flustered girl out of the office.

Younghoon and Hyunjae sat there awkwardly, avoiding the other's eyes. Director Han cleared his throat. "I'm just gonna shimmy into my office. Call me when you need me." He smiled before closing the door, a small thud sounding through the room.

"Sooo.."

"Oh shut up Lee, just do your work."

"Right, nevermind."

Although Jiwon was already working at the Blue House, that didn't give her any permission to waltz into the President's office and handcuff him. So she and Yujin stood awkwardly at the receptionist's desk as the lady behind the desk called up to his office, letting him know that there were visitors who wanted to see him.

"Hey," Yujin nudged Jiwon with her elbow, nodding in the direction of two familiar silhouettes. "Yuna and Hak are here."

Jiwon glanced at them, her eyes meeting with Yuna, who immediately sent back a bright smile.

The two walked over, making the lady behind the desk frantically get up from her seat and bow.

"Oh, no need for that." Yuna waved her off before looking back at the two. "Great seeing you here! Although I wonder why you're meeting Uncle."

"Oh, work stuff, you know?" Jiwon said, waving her off immediately.

"Yujin, you just had to leave me on read?" Haknyeon said, staring at her, a small smile playing on his lips.

"Oh.. haha I was busy?" She shrugged, trying not to let him see her pink cheeks.

"Right. Whatever you say. Anyways, me and Yuna have to go, we'll see you next time, yeah?"

"Definitely." Yujin said, smiling widely before waving at them.

"Your in love."

"Am not."

"You totally are, don't deny it."

"Ladies, you may go meet the President." The lady said, clearing her throat, catching their attention.

"Right, yeah okay." Yujin nodded, smiling at  her before grabbing Jiwon, pulling her towards the stairs that led to the office.

"So what were you and Haknyeon texting about-"

"Shush."

-

The road was bumpy as Younghoon drove to Mr. Choi's house, Hyunjae sitting in the back.

"So what type of music do you like?" Hyunjae said, trying to spark any conversation that was possible.

"Silence."

Hyunjae nodded, forcing himself not to roll his eyes. This guy was irritating and it was getting on his nerves.

"I guess I'll just be quiet then." Hyunjae grumbled.

"The best thing you've said all day."

-

"Oh, detectives, glad to see you. I assume this is because of the President?" Mr. Choi said opening the door. "Would you like to come in?"

"Ah, no no. We're here to take you to the station actually. To give us any evidence you have as to why you think Mr. Shin is behind this?" Younghoon said, slightly stepping out of the way from the door to let Mr. Choi out.

Hyunjae nodded along, still keeping his eyes on the man inside the house.

"Alright, lets go over to the station then."

-

"Oh, ladies! Nice to meet you. I heard quite a lot about you two from Hak and Yuna." The President stood up, smiling brightly at them, stretching his hands out to shake theirs.

"Oh, thats nice! We've come here to take you to the station actually." Yujin said, nervously glancing back at the guards that stood outside of the room, there large bodies blocking the whole doorway.

"And why is that?" The President was staring at them with an eyebrow quirked up, his eyes slightly narrowing.

"We just want to you know discuss somethings- that are very important, let me tell you that." Yujin said, playing with her fingers as she stared straight at him.

Jiwon glanced at her before nodding in agreement. "Yup. And someone accused you of being behind what happened to the President. Look, we aren't taking sides but if you were accused of something this serious, we're going to have to ask you to come with us. We're being completely transparent right now."

The President nodded, sighing. "I should have known. When I was offered to take this position, I knew that I would be accused because not only had I run for this position too, I wasn't exactly-" He cleared his throat, choosing his words very carefully. "On best terms with my brother."

Jiwon raised her eyebrows, glancing at Yujin who was already looking at her. "Oh. Well I'm going to ask you to come with us, Sir."

He stood up, pushing his chair in and grabbing his coat off of his stand.

"Right. Let's go." He said, concern clearly written all over his face.

Yuna's eyes widened, her whole body frozen as she watched her Uncle be led out by Yujin and Jiwon.

Did he know something? Did he do something?

She pulled out her phone, quickly texting Hak who had been waiting for her back at his bedroom, probably a game of mario kart on his TV.

She sighed, dropping her phone back into her pocket and chasing after the two officers who had her Uncle in handcuffs that were stealthy hidden under his jacket, so no one would have noticed unless you looked close enough.

"Please, oh please." Yuna whispered, breathing heavily as she sprinted across the large lobby trying to catch up with them, even though they had already gotten inside their car, their car slowly moving forwards. Her footsteps felt heavier then ever as they slammed into the marble floors of her home. No, the Blue House.

Because Politics were never involved with family.

"Please don't tell me my Uncle was behind this."
