Chapter 9

"What kind of job have you been doing, to letting me get arrested?" Jeon Wonwoo gritted his teeth, grabbing another throwing knife to flick at the target board.

"I-I'm sorry, I'll find more people to tail him." Inspector Jun stuttered. Jeon Wonwoo had been on with his anger fit for almost an hour by now. His closest underlings had excused themselves to wait outside by now, and the others simply stood in the room, waiting to be the next lucky punching bag for the boss to vent his anger on.

"You know what? Since you can't do your job right, just do everything in your power to stop them from investigating me. My people will do it instead. Get the four of them outside to come in." Jeon Wonwoo dismissed, swinging the knife at the direction of the door, as- a signal to get them to come in.

"Y-yes." Inspector Jun responded, scurrying out to call the most elite members, as well as the 'so called' underlings that were the closest to the boss. 

"You need us boss?" The four strutted in like it was nothing, one walking leaning backwards with his hands held at his head and one walked straight up to Jeon Wonwoo and slouched his arm over his shoulder, and the other two were simply engaged in a fierce battle on their mobile phones against each other.

"Take over Inspector Jun's tracking job. Report to me every other hour and make sure you don't lose sight of him. I don't want me stepping foot in that police station again, understood?" Jeon Wonwoo ordered, removing Jeonghan's arm off as he side eyed him. 

"Relax boss. We're going to keep you away from that place like vampires with garlic." Seokmin assured, cheering at his victory shortly after.

"Hey! Not fair! You said no sniping!" Minghao complained, glaring at Seokmin who was busy cheering.

"Take it easy Won. We'll make sure you achieve your goal." Jihoon looked at Wonwoo with eyes that carried some form of sympathy contradicting his emotionless front. Wonwoo simply nodded at his assurance.

"Get going you four. Remember. I want no mistakes."

"Cheol hyung! Why did you let him go? We have more than enough evidence." Min argued. He was now in Seungcheol's office, trying to fight for an arrest warrant.

"Min-ah. You know I don't want to." Seungcheol reasoned. That damned Inspector Jun. He was never on the side of the police. "It's because of that corrupt officer and lawyer." Seungcheol's voice trailed off, letting his thoughts slip out.

"What? Who? Inspector Wen and Prosecutor Chwe? What do they have to do with that?" Min questioned, his sensitive ears picking up Seungcheol's mumbling.

"You know what, I think I should come back another-"

"Stay right here. We have a lot to talk about." Soon pulled Young, cutting him off right as he was about to turn around to leave. 

Oh shit. Young thought to himself.

"Explain yourself." Soon crossed his arms and gave Young a death stare. Young couldn't lie. If looks could kill right now, he would have been incinerated by Soon.

"I didn't mean to harm you. It's just that I was at the wrong place at the wrong time." Young reasoned, looking a little desperate. Young sighed internally. He really didn't expect himself to be in the same situation of having to explain himself to the police two times. 

"Not that. Explain yourself about Gyu." Soon puffed his chest up, holding a straight face. He had to admit, living with the male for so long, he started caring more about how Gyu felt, rather than his own issue at hand. The detective had seen everything, a drunk Gyu, a crying Gyu, a fanboying Gyu, heck, even househusband Gyu was a sight beheld in front of him.
