the blond man sat opposite of jeongguk, the latter didn't mind though, the older looked rather pleasing to look at. the two remained silent as if waiting for the other to speak before opening their own mouths. but evidence did show – jeongguk was bound to get released before the work day was over.
the noirette's bangs shaded his dark orbs that held too much for his emotionally feeble body to handle at times. i'm sorry, chim. he pleaded with his best friend since he knew the older would have scolded him for hacking the system even though it was the only way to keep his secret from coming out. forgive me, darling.
finally, the officer cleared his throat, keenly watching the boy's movement as his mouth opened, "tell me about jeongguk." great move. the younger only cracked a smirk, but other than that he maintained his character, knowing damn well what would happen if he wouldn't.
"he's my.." his paused for a moment, remembering the limp body with bruises all over. "he was my best friend." jeongguk's eyes glistened with pain, jimin was a sore subject to talk about – it hurt so bad he was willing to drop his poker face facade for it. "did he commit suicide?"
damn you! you didn't even know him take those fucking words back or i'll break through these shitty cuffs and strangle the dear life out of you!
"beaten to death by.." the lump in his throat grew, tears on the verge of dropping onto his tanned cheeks, "he was beaten to death." the regular leaned in slightly, becoming a little more cocky seeing as to how the younger's act quickly broke down before him. "and it was your fault, wasn't it? he was trying to protect you?"
"he was doing the best he could, but he was weak." jeongguk's facade was back, his tears no longer visible in his eyes and the lump descending from his throat. he watched the man lean back in his chair, almost as if accepting his quick defeat against the front lines.
"how's your partner? seokjin, was it? it must be tough recovering from the nitro blast of an underground goony." the younger grabbed the upper advantage as visible emotions of distress ran through the man that only a few moments ago was confident about breaking jeongguk down.
"how the hell do you know that?!" his voice was loud, scared even as stood up from his chair and wrapped his hand around jeongguk's throat applying as much pressure as he needed but not too much to make it unable for the suspect to speak. "kill me.." the boy croaked, "i dare you."
his coaxing smirk as the breath was squeezed out of him only aggravated the man more. oh, how he wanted to kill the boy, he wouldn't be blamed for it anyway. "how the hell do you know about kim's accident?" the officer's tone remained the same through out the question, but anger blare into his awakened eyes and he was hungry for the kill.
jeongguk wheezed for air, but at this point it was no help. "i'll-" "officer kim, get your hands off the boy!" a larger male barged into the room – perhaps his boss, and forced the man's hand from around the boy's throat who immediately began coughing and gasping for air.

"you are free to go, park jimin, but if we so even hear a peep from you, you'll be back in this room and for a long time." a brunette took the cuffs off him, it was adorable how the young officer tried to be tough on him. "thank you, taehyung." "how do you know my name?" jeongguk chuckled lightly, of course the other had forgotten they were classmates in their younger years of life. "you just look like a taehyung." he had replied and obediently followed the robo guard that was ready to escort him out of the facility.

jeongguk finally got back to his apartment, groaning at the mess the raid had made. "that's for another day." he muttered as he began to undress himself out of his filthy clothes, only to toss them on the floor like the others.
he lay in bed, his hand around throat resembling the hold officer kim had on him earlier as the corners of his mouth curled upwards into a smile. "should have choked me harder, namjoon." he whispered, picturing the man and the anger blazing in his eyes as more pressure was applied on his throat.
ah, namjoon. it's sad to say that it wasn't the last time you'll lay your eyes or hands on me. i've still got my work to do and i know if my-...jimin's name pops up you'll immediately take the case.
a smile still visible upon his features, the tired boy closed his eyes, almost ecstatic of what was to come, but terrified of jimin and the constant scolding he was receiving due to his illicit actions. he never really liked the younger hacking into things that were unhackable for a reason – especially F.E.A.R
