Euphoria was a small town.

But, it doesn't go small. Sunday Markets are busier like fish markets while you can't even find people going shopping on weekdays. Pretty committed to work.

It had exactly one police station during the 1980's.

The station was called Unit 13 for one ridiculous reason: the first officer assigned there thirteen years ago had a crippling fear of the number twelve written on the building. Thought it was cursed. Refused to write it, say it, or look at clocks that struck that hour. So he painted "13" on the door instead. No one ever bothered to change it.

And since there is only one police station, UNIT it is. That's how it became UNIT 13 near Seoul.

Now the town has grown it has finally been spreading its wings by occupying little rural villages under the name of economic development.

Euphoria was, for reasons no one could quite explain, the gayest town within a two-hundred-mile radius. Not intentionally. It just happened. The Mayor during the 1990's married a guy and ever since no one questioned the choices

Euphoria wasn't famous for being gay but was famous for being the only town that didn't realize being gay was supposed to be a big deal. Tourists would pass through, see two men holding hands at the grocery store, and gasp. The locals would just blink and say, "That's Bob and Jerry. Bob's allergic to tomatoes. Jerry's the one who makes bob look like a tomato."

One time, a homophobic Arsehole drove into town to cause trouble. He walked into the diner, opened his mouth, and before he could say anything — the owner, a seventy-year-old woman named Mabel, hit him with a frying pan and said, "Not in my town, honey. Now sit down and eat or get out."

He got out. Of course.

The number of police stations has increased to 4 police stations.

Gyeokdu- Branch: In the central Euphoria serving as a major hub. Cases will be transferred from here to other branches. Major cases from all branches come here for verification, based on gravity of the situation will be assigned to the respective station.

Gannam-dong Branch: Northern Euphoria where the port is present around 20 km.

Yeuidong Branch: Near public park and major societies

UNIT 13: Southern Euphoria where Markets of Euphoria flood on weekdays and too much crowded on Sundays.

The station was cared less about. Underfunded. Overlooked. The ceiling leaked. The coffee was a health hazard. And the officers? Well.

You will know.

There was Lee Dongwook, the head of the unit. He is competent, calm and absolutely, pathetically, terrifyingly in love with his wife, that terrifying where, where he talks about his wife every five seconds.

His wife wanted a new dishwasher? He'd reroute the station's budget.

His wife wanted fresh flowers every morning? He'd been seen cutting roses from the mayor's garden at 6 AM.

If his wife asked him to solve a case? He'd burn the town down.

Once, he arrested a man for looking at his wife wrong. The man was just squinting because of the sun. Dongwook didn't care.

Everyone tolerated it because he'd do anything for his wife. I say Anything.

And the next is,

"KIM NAMJOON!" A six-foot tall man screaming like a gorilla caused the already shaking ceiling to wipe the dust. It looked almost like the building was about to die.

Seokjin's head snapped around. His eyes went wide. His mouth opened like he was about to sing an opera but in caps lock.

Min Seokjin, Senior Inspector, the loudest and dramatically beautiful guy who convinced he was the only sane person in the building. (He was not.) Most importantly, he was too flirty. Nobody knew for sure if he is gay, bi or straight because he flirted with everyone. Men, women, mirror, mainly himself. The Mirror got a compliment every time he looked at himself in it. He had a younger brother who was said to be adopted by his parents because he found the guy under the bridge with a runny nose and torn clothes. When he was a kid, he pitied the boy and suggested his parents to adopt the runny nose kid and raise him like a pig. That's what he said.

Namjoon stood frozen, donut in hand, eyes wide.

Namjoon, the Sergeant was so scared of Seokjin. But pathetically, he loved the devil so much he ended up scolding by the devil himself every day. Like that, being held with clumsy traits from his genetics which accidentally came out when he knocked over a shelf for donuts kept on the top rack, fell on Seokjin's desk right now. He just sighed and No one would be surprised if Namjoon was shot with a gun by Seokjin himself.

Namjoon was alone. He practically lived with the Min siblings and yeah as I said, He loves Seokjin way too much. But not as much compared to Lee Dongwook loving his wife.

That's how Jin is. Unpredictable. Sometimes people wonder if he's trans and somehow got pregnant because of his dual nature, he can be blushing and can make people blush with just one look.

To be continued.

Taehyung, the Inspector, sighs as he watches from his desk, amused.

He was posted in Euphoria, and he shifted to Euphoria two years ago. He is quiet in his own weird way, always drawing little stars on the margins of case reports. No one knew why. No one asked. Once got asked if he liked boys or girls. He just shrugged and said, "Yes" with a very straight face. No follow-up questions.

But once drunk, He's the most extreme extrovert you will ever see.

He was always alone and had a goal to be transferred to the Gyeokdu Branch. Hence, Tae was waiting for a massive change that could upgrade him to the Gyeokdu Branch.

Taehyung looks at Jimin who looks at him back in the with grin.

Jimin slaps the truth right on Taehyung's face who rolls his eyes and retorts.

Another slap. It's not his day. Every day Tae thinks it will be his day and he can have control. But it gets worse.

Park Jimin, the policeman (lower rank) swung his legs off the front desk. He is known for gossiping with whoever walked in. We self claimed as the soulmate of Taehyung yes because the man was handsome and looking cool while rejecting people with a straight face. Of course, Tae built a good friendship with Jimin because the latter was really into gossip, but it doesn't show on his face as Tae was emotionally constipated.

And then there was Min Yoongi who was sleeping in the cell. He is Seokjin's actual, biological (unfortunately) related brother.

Yoongi had claimed the holding cell as his personal sleeping quarters three months ago. He had dragged in a mattress, a blanket, and a small lamp. He napped there daily.

Was he gay? Bi? Tired? Nobody asked. He once opened one eye, looked at a handsome thief, said "No," and went back to sleep. No one knew what the "no" meant.

Not even Yoongi.

Sometimes he solved cases from inside the cell, just to prove he could. No one had the energy to stop him.

He was a private cook who was removed from a wealthy family because he said he was not interested in dating the daughter of the family.

Hence, being jobless, Yoongi occupied his brother's workplace which was almost vacant except for a handsome thief inside the cell, being Yoongi's roommate.

At the same time, a boy entered the station, politely knocking on the door, near Jimin's desk.

None looked up.

Yoongi was passed out in the holding cell again, blanket tangled around his legs, mouth slightly open. Namjoon was sorting the files on Jin's desk which he created a mess. Jin was helping Namjoon and then noticed his brother in the cell, sleeping peacefully.

Jin walks to the cell and stands over Yoongi, arms crossed, veins practically popping.

He calmly tried to wake his brother up.

Yoongi didn't even flinch. Just mumbled something and turned the other way.

Namjoon was trying to tape a broken file cabinet. It wasn't going well.

Seokjin kicked the bars and walked black to his table. Looking at Jin, Namjoon ducked himself behind Taehyung's chair that's when Tae noticed the guy standing near the entrance looking with wide eyes.

The guy's clothes were ironed and held a sheet of paper to his chest tightly as his life depended on him.

Meanwhile, Jin picked up a stapler and threw it on Yoongi. Somehow it didn't reach him which pissed him more.

Taehyung didn't say anything. Neither did he move an inch. He was busy observing the guy.

The boy opened his mouth to say something.

The boy blinked. Jimin smiled as he went near the boy.

Taehyung looked away and went back drawing stars.

𝑾𝒆𝒊𝒓𝒅. The boy thought
