Tragic. Not the kind of tragic that you passively tell your friend when they over react to a seemingly mundane problem, but the kind of tragic linked with actual tragedy. That’s what was going through Jeon Jeongguk’s mind as he stared at the wreckage. Metal was strewn all over the street, littering the ground like confetti at a children’s birthday party. A scrambled it that once resembled a black Maserati Gran Turismo was casually laying in the grass right in front of Jeongguk. The loss of a beautiful machine wasn’t what was bothering him though. It was mainly all of the blood eerily seeping through from the bottom of the car. He had been working for the police force for almost a year now, and he still couldn’t get over all of the blood he came across in this job. Truly tragic.
“Jungkook?” came a voice from behind him. He struggled to turn away from the wreckage to face Officer Mackenzie DeSanto, his partner. DeSanto, along with everyone Jeongguk knew but his own mother, called him “Jungkook” as just a quick way to avoid some cumbersome syllables when addressing him. He didn’t mind though. In fact, he introduced himself that way.
“Just got word back from the station about the plates on the car,” said DeSanto as he approached, “and you’ll never believe who it belongs to.”
“Well, don’t keep me in suspense,” replied Jungkook after an expectant pause from his partner, “Spit it out. Or are you waiting for the dead guy to jump up and introduce himself?”
“Jung Hoseok.”
“Holy crap” was the only thing that went through Jungkook’s mind when he heard that name. Jung Hoseok. Professional racecar driver, wealthy playboy, and one of the most famous humans in the city (He thought “most famous human” because there was an alligator in the local zoo that went viral after someone posted a video of it farting in front of another alligator to Facebook. It wasn’t exciting or impressive, but the internet eats that kind of shit up). The man had garnered a reputation for himself for having a somewhat tumultuous media persona, but for also for being a kind and bright individual if you got to know him. To put it simply, he’s the kind guy who would burn down your house after a raging party, only to build you a bigger house with his own two hands as an apology. Jungkook was only personally familiar with the former iteration of the man, as he had met him at the most recent Police Fundraiser Gala. Hoseok had come in with two girls on his arm, made an incredible ruckus, and at one point, slapped Jungkook on the ass with no warning and shouted “Man, this kid has some fresh buns!” before passing out while he interrupted the mayor’s speech. Jungkook later found out that the man had made the largest donation to the department, as well as written Jungkook a handwritten apology and put it on his desk the next morning. He still keeps it in his desk to this day.
“Kind of ironic that a racecar driver gets in a car accident, isn’t it?” asked Jungkook, “I mean, you’d think the guy’d be more careful.”
“Eh, he was probably drunk,” says DeSanto, “You know how the guy was. I mean, his license plate read ‘HOBI MOBI 4.’ Pretty sure one through three suffered the same fate. Only this time, he didn’t walk away from it.”
As the med-techs carted of the body, and the firemen were wrapping up their hoses, Jungkook and DeSanto settled back into their squad car.
“C’mon,” said DeSanto, “We better make our reports to Chief Min. One of K City’s most famous is dead, and he’s not gonna be happy about it.”
Yooooo!! When is the next one coming out? This is really good!
