a/n: i’ve been working on this drabble, but now i have another fic in my hands. I won’t be reveling much bc there are some surprise factors along the way, but here’s a piece of it.
After leaving your daughter at the daycare you rush to work. Well, you wish you could rush there, but the traffic jam barely lets you get through. You slam your hand on the steering wheel in impatience when your car moves as much as five centimeters in line, you lean your elbow on the door and supporting your head in your hand you don’t mind messing up your hair a little.
“Just my luck”, you groan when your phone rings and your Captain’s ID as ‘White Shark’ pops up, “Yes, captain!”
“Where the fuck are you?” You press your lips, closing your eyes at his hurried words laced in rage.
“I’m stuck in traffic, but I’m almost--”, he cuts you then
“Don’t give me that crap”, he threatens, sounding rather breathless. You can hear the hurried steps over the phone as well as the sirens in the background, “This traffic jam is about twenty minutes from the station!”
You take the phone off your ear for a minute, taking a deep breath and silently cursing at the device. Your captain always knows everything, you don’t know how, but he always does.
“Lucky for you--”, you place your phone on your ear again, “It’s close to the crime scene and the Chief wants to see you hands on in this investigation. I’ll give you five minutes”
“The Chief of Police wants me there?”, you ask in disbelief, not being able to hold back a frown, “Why me?”, he sighs over the phone
“Why do you think I’d know?”, your Captains clicks his tongue and you hear something shuffle on the other side of the line as he screams with someone, you have to pull your phone away to not hurt your ears, “And, Y/n?”
“Ah”, you put your phone back on your heart to listen, “Yes, Captain?”
“File a request to get a radio in your new car. Soon!”
“Yes, Captain”
The text message arrives soon enough and you call your partner to make sure he’s on his way already while taking turn that’d be an illegal for others and would have someone stopping you if you didn’t put the siren on the roof of your car and turned the sound on before maneuvering your car.
“Oh”, you mutter without really being surprised while you park your car in some convenient spot, “So that’s why. Chief must be pissed”
You have to push through many curious people and the media that gathered around the place and surprisingly meet the youngest detective in your department. He meets you as soon as you step in the perimeter and salutes you unnecessarily, like the other officer guarding the area do. You can’t avoid noticing the cold sweat streaming down his temple.
“Wonshik!”
You place your arm around his shoulder mindlessly, turning you both away from the cameras and walking into the perimeter while some officer takes his place.
“Kid, if you stand there all pale and traumatized, how do you think they’ll understand things? Huh?”
He tilts his head up to look at you surprised and shocked.
“I didn’t mean to--”, he stutters, “I didn’t think I look like that, Lieutenant. I swear I--”, you give him a half smile and pats his shoulder
“Don’t sweat it. But, you have to get used to it, y’know”
“Yes, sir”, you nod and walk away.
“Where’s your partner?”, you look around, pulling your arm back just in time to see said person rushing to meet you halfway
“Lieutenant Cha? Didn’t expect to see you here”, he says casually even before he meets you halfway and the two of you walk side by side, “Are you feeling better?”, he asks Wonshik, who nods.
The youngster still seems a quite lifeless, but you image he must look better than he originally was because Jinyoung’s frown disappear after inspecting him.
“Sorry to disappoint”, you say nonchalantly as the three of you walk towards the direction Jinyoung just came
“How the moving went? Don’t get me wrong, but shouldn’t you be getting settled in the new place?”
“I can’t afford unpaid vacations”, you comment, not too amused by the thought itself and he chuckles at the thought
Someone arrives and the media goes loud once again, you turn around to look at the mess when one of the officers pushes his way past the mass of people trying to corner him for answer.
“No wonder the Captain’s in hurry”, you mutter before looking back at Jinyoung, “They seem excited”
Jinyoung scoffs. “I see the Captain haven’t told you a word about it”
“About what?”
Jinyoung's crooked smile makes you frown, you know he has a rather wicked sense of humor. You follow him to where the body still lays, but you can see the coroner approaching already in the opposite distance.
The other clients are oblivious to the tense yet delicate air surrounding the two of them, Taehyung gulps down and holds in a sigh as he registers the barcodes, conscious of the unspoken words longing somewhere between them. His gut stirs in the most odd ways when he finishes and she collects the plastic bags before walking out of the convenient store again. His eyes follows her through the glass wall until he can’t see her, clenching the a copy of her receipt in his hand until the paper is crushed in his fist.
The bruises, the beers, her trembling hands, the barely unnoticed tear stains. It’s not that hard to put two and two together, it’s the kind of scenario Taehyung is all too familiar with and he can feel that old anxiety growing in him. It’s ominously nostalgic and Taehyung does his best to stay away from the memory lane.
Even after she’s gone, Taehyung’s still stares at the blank space she left when he couldn’t see her anymore. Completely oblivious to the way he’s concentrating all that frustration on the pressure of his sharp teeth worrying his bottom lip.
04. “Well, isn’t this exactly where you like me?
I am exactly where you like me, you know”
- But It’s Better If You Do - P!atD (requested)
a/n: I am very sorry to the anon who requested this drabble for taking so long to get to it, but by now I’m a lil’ bit obsessed with it. I’m dutifully working on it and I plan to post as soon as I proof-read it. For now, here’s a piece of it.
It’s so easy for him to get lost whenever he kisses you, it’s the same as the first time. He’s melting and surrounded by everything that is you and his heart never fails to pick up a pace, specially when your fingers grip lightly, as if you’re combing his hair. The butterflies in his stomach and that foolish smile that comes to his lip when you smile at him after he pulls away. His fingers interwines with yours as the two of you walk away after leaving his car behind.
“You won’t drive?”, you ask, leaning against him and pushing him to the side while he walks playfully. He tries to hold back a smile, but his eyes smile for him and soon that smile is leaking from his lips, he steals a glance at you smile and presses his lips to keep him from smile, “Where are we going? Is it close?”
“You’ll see!”
“You’re really leaving your precious Porshe behind?”, you look back and that’s when he laces his arm around you, while the two of you still walk and kisses your temple.
“I have something even more precious right here!”, he leans down to kiss your cheek. You mock a suspicious glance and he pitches your cheek.
Only with Baekhyun you could experience something like this. He’s like your borrowed pair of wings, something special that you had to trim long ago to fit in a pattern, to achieve your dream. But Baekhyun’s three, his wings are wide open and is always ready to fly when you ask him to. You need him, no one else can give this freedom. And he’s stupid enough to only use them for you because he’s stupid enough to not see them. That’s the reason why he can’t fit where you belong, the reason why his potential of achieving high scores easily, being a good student and having a bright future like everyone else in that classroom will reach him and that’s something you suspected before. The same way you wont allow your wings to grow so you can’t fly freely, Baekhyun won’t allow his to be cut. This is perfect.
