All is Fair in Love and Law || A Jeongcheol Story

Hey Buddy

Thank you to theluckynumber0 for adding my story and to ln7348 and Raranim_Subinie for their continued support! :)

As they were walking, Seungcheol suddenly got a phone call. Seungcheol looked at the caller ID and picked up the call, whispering to Jeonghan that it will only take a moment.

"What's up Mark?"

"Hyung I found something."

"What did you find?"

"Come to your office as soon as possible. I'll bring the photos there. I'm getting them printed right now."

Seungcheol looked at Jeonghan, unsure of what to do, and Jeonghan mouthed the words "what happened?" Seungcheol looked at his phone, at Jeonghan and back at his phone, and finally, put the phone back to his ear.

"I'll be there in 15 minutes."

"Alright hyung. See you then!" Seungcheol hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket.

"Is everything alright?" Jeonghan asked.

"I'm so sorry Jeonghan, there's been a major development in the case I'm working on. I have to go back to the office ASAP. Raincheck?" Jeonghan looked disappointed but muttered a small "okay."

"Thank you." Seungcheol gave Jeonghan a quick kiss on the lips before he was off to get his car, which was parked nearby. "Bye!"

"Bye!"

"Alright, Mark I'm here. I gave up hanging out with my boyfriend for this so it better be good, or you're in a lot of trouble."

Mark took out the photos from a manila folder and placed on the desk with a smirk. "Oh they're good alright." Mark placed two copies of a photo on Seungcheol's desk, one original, and one with markings all over it, both of Kim and the mysterious man's secret rendezvous. Mark went ahead and circled the man's face, the man's gun, and a tattoo on the man's wrist. "Do you recognize him? Or the gun? Or the tattoo?"

Seungcheol rubbed his temples and shook his head. "No they don't look familiar at all. But you're definitely on to something. When did you take these photos."

"Early this morning. Around 3:30 am." Seungcheol studied the photos again. What was Kim giving the man?

"Did you see what Kim was giving the man?"

"No, I couldn't see from where I was, and i couldn't go any closer without him figuring me out. Although I did hear something about money and not to look for something or someone." Seungcheol quickly jotted all this information into his notebook, and then put the pen down, staring at his notes, trying to make any sense of them.

"Good job Mark, you've been really helpful." Mark beamed at the praise. "Keep at it!" Seungcheol said as he patted Mark's back.

"Hyunggg how much longer?"

"Hmm let's see, this is the sixth, no seventh, no eight times I've had to bail you out. Tell you what. You can stop if you pay me all the fees you owe me. I think the total bill should be about $50,000 by now, don't you think?"

Mark's eyes widened. "No no no no. I'll get right back to it! I'm at your service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!" Mark said enthusiastically.

"Good." Seungcheol collected both the pictures off his desk and placed them back in the folder, and grabbed his coat again.

"Where are you going, hyung? Didn't you just get here?"

"I'm going to visit a friend. I don't know anything about the man here, but I have a feeling he might have some idea."
