Chapter 79: Infiltrate
After eating together just like before, the younger laid his head on the table while Jimin waited for the waitress to come around and hand him the bill. Jungkook remained gawking up at the man with such a smile within his gleaming gaze. It was enough to show that he enjoyed their time together here. But the only thing that was in the way was the fault that Jungkook just couldn't talk and only signed to Jimin. The young man believed if he could have talked to Jimin like before, then the man could have had a better time. Yet, he took what he could get.
"Jungkook, let's check the station out." Jimin told the younger, watching the boy sit up and nod his head to anything Jimin would say. Once the waitress came around, Jimin paid for their meal and they were quick to step out of the diner with their hands locked together. "I've been longing to get back to the station! Aren't you excited? I've missed that place." Jimin chuckled and swung the hand he held with Jungkook back and forth so happily until they reached the car. "Let's see what mess my father made." The man joked and let out a chuckle once he broke away from holding Jungkook's hand and got inside the car.
It's been so long Jimin went to work. He wasn't displaying any good sportsmanship and chose to run from his problems instead. But now, he hoped to change his life and show the best side of him to everyone and take back his position as Chief from his father. The ride to the station felt like it took forever as Jungkook was smiling to himself during the ride. He just never thought he'd see the day Jimin would come so close to heading to work after the hell he put himself through. This was a big step to change.
"Jimin, I love working there... But at times, I hate it. Those officers really despise me." Jungkook played this off as a laugh, but Jimin only tilted his head while driving.
"That's not nice of them... Don't listen to what they say. They literally gossip about anyone. Just stand by me and you'll be safe from those judging eyes." Jimin assured as he soon pulled up by the station to look up at the building that gave him such memories from before. The man hasn't been to work for so long, he couldn't recall his motives at work. All he did was chase his own tail due to Jungkook working behind the scenes to sabotage every part of it. Jimin shook away those thoughts as he walked up to the entrance and still held the prince by his hand.
The man let out a sharp exhale and just then, he walked in with officers suddenly gazing up and finally seeing Jimin for the first time in a while. Some officers held smiles and waved while some stepped up to see that it really was Jimin in the flesh! "Cheif!" Called out an officer as Jimin smiled to see the happy officers greet him. They grew worried about their leader, however towards Jungkook? They didn't really care much about him. As Jimin walked to greet people desk by desk, he could hear the door from his office pry open so suddenly.
All of the sudden, he looked up ahead to see a few officers walk out from it with Mr. Park behind them. "Ah, My son is finally here!" Called out Mr. Park as Jimin flinched and looked up ahead to gaze at his own father; still lingering on the station. "Jimin! Come here I have great news!" The man claimed as Jimin still held onto Jungkook's hand as he followed in. Not wanting to let go of his lover.
"What is it, father?" Jimin asked as the father only signalled the Chief and his detective to follow. This alone rose many flags in Jimin's mind. Just what did the father had planned now? "Is it... Something about the case?"
"Yes! I've reopened these cases to conclude it with one final discovery!" Mr. Park added so happily as he walked to the office and opened the door to make his way over to the desk. Jimin tried to remain calm as he looked over to Jungkook, who did a good job at playing it off calmly. Just what did the elder find now? Jimin watched in panic with anxiety eating it's way through the Chief. Only then, the father looked up to pull a big smile. "We found the hideout!" Professed the man as Jimin grew still and he could tell Jungkook was worried too.
"H-How did you guys find it? Where was it?" Jimin sputtered into question as he let go of Jungkook's hand so he wouldn't show any guilty signs.
"Turns out, it's through one of the abandoned apartments and it's led through an underground bunker! This is what some of the stakeout officers picked up without distractions or anyone pointing them out. It was a smooth transition! However, they did lock the apartment good... So, by tomorrow morning, in broad daylight, we'll infiltrate the hideout! Isn't that amazing?! We finally have them and justice will be served. Everyone will be going to jail and that gang leader of theirs will for sure be placed on death row!" Continued to gloat the elder Chief while Jimin turned his head slightly to look at Jungkook; playing off such a blank face when his world was shattering.
"By tomorrow? At what time?" Jimin wondered as the officer then began to think about it.
"An hour before noon. Only then, we'll send the toughest force over to the hideout! They don't know what'll hit them." The father plotted so excitingly while Jimin faked an excited tone just so he wouldn't show that deep down, he was close to panicking just like Jungkook. "The streets of Busan will be safe! Now that you're here, I'll leave this all to you after we accomplish our mission." Continued the elder Chief from Seoul. Jimin only stood there and smiled while Jungkook kept trailing his gaze off to just think of what to do. His gang members were going to be in danger if they didn't plan to move once night falls! The younger sat down and looked at the ground, thinking of many ways to still stay in Jimin's life but still support his gang.
Every turn seemed to hit a dead end and Jungkook just couldn't focus at all. He was growing tense, worried and stressed. There was no way he would be able to stay in busan any longer; not when his gang was going to be found and taken to jail. This alone would fail him as a leader the lost ones looked up to. Jungkook just didn't want to leave now, but it was now or never. He just had to tell Jimin. Just earlier, they shared smiles and after lunch together... Who knew it'll be their last? Jimin just knew there was many things floating around Jungkook's head. He could only imagine how stressed the gang leader really felt.
"Please... Don't leave me.." Jimin thought in his head silently as he approached the younger while other officers cheered on and gloated their plan to save the day. The older then wrapped his arms around Jungkook and held him close to let out a sigh from finding out about the news. He just dreaded to know what happens next.
The officers left the room as Jungkook was still sitting there, gazing down at the ground in silence as he stayed in the office with his lover. "Jungkook... Please..." Jimin whispered as the younger was still thinking about what just happened. He was overwhelmed with pain from the stress piling over him now. He was so happy before, but now he was only sad and just gazed down at the ground with a tear emerging from his eyes.
"Please what...?" Jungkook whispered and tried not to move his lip to show he was talking. It was more like a small and short utter and this left the older to tilt his head over Jungkook's shoulder to worry.
"S-Stay... Just relocate them." Jimin continued to whisper to Jungkook's ear and tried to make it look like he was trying to act flirty to his lover just to throw off the camera surveillance monitoring them. Jimin kept hugging the boy from the back until... Jungkook shook his head and let out an exhale. "B-Baby... Please... We were so happy just before. You... You can't leave me so soon.. I just started learning how to fly." Jimin whispered to the boy until Jungkook suddenly broke off from the back hug and glanced back at Jimin in such pain with the tears just daring to fall.
'Take me home.' The boy signed as Jimin just knew the whole day was ruined now. Jungkook didn't hold a smile, he held a blank look to his face as he walked over to the door. 'I have many things to do.' The boy signed once more as Jimin only looked back at the office he knew he would never walk back in with the smile he had on before.
"Jungkook... Please wait!" The man called out as Jungkook walked out of the office and chose to leave for the day. The plans they had before to spend time together was now ruined for good. The only thing Jimin stressed now was their love breaking so soon. Just as the Chief stepped out of his office, a few officers watched Jimin chase after Jungkook. Just knowing that the Chief was going to leave and never come back after until he had his head out the clouds. "J-Jungkook! L-Let's sort this out, please!"
However, the younger's mind was everywhere now. He had to plan before the evening and the least he wanted to focus on was whether he should stay at least for Jimin. The boy just didn't have time now. Transporting the whole gang would take all night! That was why Jungkook had to be quick now. The younger was quick to get in the car as Jimin had to bring himself to take Jungkook. Once Jimin opened the car, Jungkook glanced up at his lover in worry.
"J-Jimin I can't focus right now!" Jungkook whispered and cupped his head as Jimin sat in the car and closed it. "Take me to RM's house. I need to plan this out with him."
"Y-You won't leave me... Will you?" Jimin asked as he started to worry once he sat on the driver's seat and refused to drive until he got an answer. Jimin remained gazing at his lover until, Jungkook swiftly tried to reach for the car keys, but Jimin was quick to pull his hand back. "A-Answer me, baby..." Breathed the older in desperation. Jungkook then let out a sigh and cupped his own face once again from the time he was wasting by staying here to answer his worried boyfriend..
"Jimin, y-you know I can't... I never expected this to come in so suddenly, but I have until tonight. I can't lose them all..." Jungkook whispered and turned his head to see his lover start to tear up. "I love you, J-Jimin... I do..." The younger continued as Jimin slowly wrapped his arms around the prince. "I want to stay, yet I can't leave them! You know that already!" Jungkook whispered against Jimin's ear during the hug. "I just wished we had forever..."
