Love Ft. Taekook
I'm a Good boy, officer~¹
The figure on the bed stretched lazily, running fingers through his hairs, as he squinted his eyes trying to adjust the light.
The ceiling stared back at him, blank and familiar, same apartment, same morning, and the same quiet that has grown up to be a companion to him.
Time exactly 06:00 AM on the table clock, and routine here, to him, mattered the most. Even waking up had their own schedules.
Special Agent Jeon
Good Morning, Siri.
𝐒𝐢𝐫𝐢 : Good Morning Jeon!
He swung his legs off the bed, feet meeting the cold floor, before slipping in a comfy pair of sleepers.
A towel wrapped perfectly on his waist. He enters the bathroom, walls blur glassed.
/𝑐𝑜𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑒 𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑒 ℎ𝑢𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑔/
Brewing Machine hummed softly like bgm as Jungkook prepared Avocado toasts in kitchen section.
Special Agent Jeon
Hey Siri, How's the weather today in hilly areas?
𝐒𝐢𝐫𝐢 : 22°C. Perfect for rock climbing and visiting the hill stations.
At exact 06:30 AM, his avocado toast with butter milk gets ready to totally dig in.
Plates clinked in the kitchen, as he stood, done with his breakfast ready to wash them now.
At 07:00 AM, he goes for his usual coffee.
He drank it standing, eyes already scanning the day ahead in his mind.
That's like what his life was, routines perfect and schedules tight.
A text message popped up on the screen, he picks it up, reading the instructions clearly.
𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭 : Briefing at 08:30. Patrol Sector C until then.
Special Agent Jeon
𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 : Acknowledged.
He buttoned his uniform with practiced precision.
Badge straight. Holster secure. No room for mistakes.
The walkey-talky crackled low, background noise more than sound.
𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐲 :
Unit 3, routine patrol. Watch for unusual movement. Briefing at 09:30 AM.
Special Agent Jeon
Unit 3, copy.
Traffic flowed easily, as usual surroundings buzzing with people in hurry.
Jungkook’s gaze moved, alert without effort.
A low engine growl cutting through the morning air, and the buzzing chaos.
Special Agent Jeon
"Again these young bikers."
He whispers under his breath, done with amounts of impulse young bikers he has seen.
The motorcycle slowed near the patrol car.
Special Agent Jeon
Pull over.
He gestures, eyes scanning the biker's frame.
The biker stopped the bike by the curb. And removed his helmet slowly, like a typical bully in K-dramas.
Dark hair fluffing. Almond eyes, uneven and calm. No rush. No fear.
Biker ? ? ?
Morning, officer.
The biker greeted him, voice deliberate as if eager for some impulse thrill.
Special Agent Jeon
You were speeding.
Biker ? ? ?
Really? Didn’t feel like it.
Special Agent Jeon
License.
The biker pauses, and then hands him over the documents.
Special Agent Jeon
Vincent.
Vincent
That's the name. Sexy, right?
Vincent grins and Jungkook just stared at him blank.
Special Agent Jeon
Riding like you’re running late, any special reason young lad?
Jungkook said eyes again trailing on the documents.
Vincent
Or maybe I just don’t like to stop.
Special Agent Jeon
This area isn’t friendly to shortcuts.
Vincent nods immediately, with a child-like grin- what Jungkook would like to describe.
Vincent
Good thing I’m not doing anything wrong.
Silence settled between them, and Jungkook exhaled.
Special Agent Jeon
I’m letting you off with a warning.
Vincent looked at the cop, as if facial features changing- his eyes same as if a hawk eyeing his prey.
Special Agent Jeon
Don't test your luck.
Vincent smiles, slow, deliberate.
He leans in, more on his bike, almost with a pout on his lips.
Vincent
Too mean of you, officer~
Jungkook steps back instantly, almost a hand of distance between them.
Special Agent Jeon
Get going.
Vincent
See you around, Officer!
Vincent winks at him, before roaring the engine back to life.
The bike disappeared down the road.
Jungkook watched it until it was gone.
Special Agent Jeon
“What a way to start the day.”
I'm a Good Boy, Officer~²
Jungkook had just stepped near his patrol car when the notification flashed on his screen.
𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 (Secure line) :
Report to Headquarters.
Special Agent Jeon
*stares at the text*
No explanation. No context. That alone was enough.
Jungkook stepped in his patrol car, and the ride to the headquarters was nerve-wreckingly silent.
[09:26 AM | Headquarters]
By the time Jungkook stepped inside, the air had already felt heavier.
The corridor was lined with officers moving briskly, voices low, expression unreadable and tighter.
[09:30 AM | Briefing Room]
The door clicked shut behind him. Inside, only one person sat at the table.
Jungkook was not unfamiliar with the man. Min Yoongi, one of the best spy agents of his time, had already won many awards n' titles for his work. It's to be said that once he even had served the military officialy. And now retiring from his spy phase, he, now is transferred here as the head in charge of the agents of all across the country.
He was an idol for many agents, who wanted to be like him, and serve the country with their whole heart.
Jungkook stood silently, as if reading the room and continued
Special Agent Jeon
You called for me, Sir?
Suga didn't look up immediately. He flipped a page, slow and measured, tracing the each corner.
Suga
Lead agent for operation 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐀𝐢𝐫.
Special Agent Jeon
Yes, Sir.
Suga
*lifted his gaze sharply*
Suga
What's the progress? What do you have?
Jungkook forwarded the file on the table to him, that he was carrying all along.
Special Agent Jeon
A location.
Special Agent Jeon
An unregistered bar.
Special Agent Jeon
And still invisible for cops, and it seems like it's not even easy to get rid of that place for them.
Special Agent Jeon
That place is invisible to the upper world, but a very popular one in the underworld.
Jungkook lifted his gaze calmly.
Special Agent Jeon
And I doubt it has something to do with the agents that were victims of this case.
Special Agent Jeon
..some of them were last traced near it.
Silence again spread in the room, and Jungkook's voice lowered slightly.
Special Agent Jeon
It's not new.
Suga
*leaned back, his gaze following Jungkook's each action*
Special Agent Jeon
Agents before me.. they found it too.
Special Agent Jeon
Some even managed to get fragments of the intel from there.
Special Agent Jeon
*jaw tightened*
Special Agent Jeon
After that.. they disappeared.
The room was still heavy. Suga closed the forwarded file.
Suga
And still you repeat it?
Jungkook didn't hesitate.
Special Agent Jeon
Yes, cause if that's where the trail ends, that's where I start.
For a moment, Suga said nothing. And then--
Suga
*smiles faintly almost unreadable*
Suga
*taps the file once again against the table.*
His tone shifted, quieter. More deliberate.
Suga
Every agent who thought they were ahead of this case..
Suga
Thought the same thing.
He paused for a moment, and continued again.
Suga
And the one who got the closest--
Special Agent Jeon
*fingers stilled slightly*
Suga
--disappeared without leaving even a trace.
He didn't say the name and to be honest, he didn't even need to. Jungkook knew already.
The only agent who had ever come close to understanding DEAD AIR.
Suga leaned back again, expression blank.
The door shut behind Jungkook. He walked back to his cabin. Bunches of files scattered on his desk, he sat absent mindedly, staring at the marks.
That name was still lingering in his mind.
The closest one ever to the truth.
The First to vanish without a single trace.
And then it repeated, any agent who'd work on this case disappeared in the thin air, with not even a single trail behind.
No officials record left. No registered documents. As if they disappeared with their whole existence.
Special Agent Jeon
*clenches his fist*
