Author's POV:

•Not proofread•

Detective Park sighed for the hundredth time. Today was one of the most hectic day at work. It was New Year's Eve and he had to assist his fellow officers in handling inebriated people creating ruckus throughout the Seoul centre.

As if that wasn't enough he had to crack this case he's on.

“Superintendent Min will have my ass on a train back to Busan if I don't meet his deadline” Jimin muttered as he closed the file roughly. He then stood up and left his office, immediately getting greeted by his good friend and fellow officer: Lee Taemin.

“Park! I'm going for patrol, wanna join?” Taemin waved his baton as he smiled at his friend. Despite being friends, they have always called each other by their last names on duty.

“Sure, I need the fresh air” Jimin answered and left to get his badge and gun.

“So, you're still stuck on that case” Taemin asked as he revved the police car. Jimin was sitting in the passenger seat and nodded with a sigh.

“Shall I ask Min to allow me on the case, I could help you” he suggested since his friend looked pretty knackered handling it all alone.

“That would make me look more incompetent and I can bid my promotion goodbye” Jimin said as he brushed back his silky black hair, mentally making a note of getting a haircut soon.

“How about I help you unofficially?” Taemin cocked an eyebrow.

“Then my conscience wouldn't let me live with it” Jimin scoffed and Taemin laughed.

“Just tryna help man” Taemin shrugged as he parked at the city square which held the new year's bash/countdown party.

This was the area they were appointed to patrol since most of the fights broke out in the crowded area.

“I'll ask for it when I really need it” Jimin muttered as he got down and started walking alongside Taemin towards the spot where three more officers stood.

“Okay” Taemin sighed and Jimin patted his back.

“Thanks for the offer though, I appreciate it” he smiled genuinely, eyes disappearing completely.

Taemin uwued internally.

“Report?” Jimin took the role of the high ranking officer he is and asked the officers who saluted at his presence.

“Four small disputes sir, which were immediately resolved and the aggressors were escorted out of the square” one of the officers— a female— answered.

“Keep up the good work” Jimin tipped his head and started walking towards the next post, Taemin right behind him.

“How does he keep evading you though, we seem to be compromised every time we try” Taemin's voice grew as they neared the area having loud speakers playing some EDM tunes.

“We have a mole but I don't know who” Jimin yelled back before they reached the post where his eyes widened.

He couldn't believe he just witnessed a civilian man punch one of the police officers.

“Hey! Break it off!” Jimin yelled as he neared them, immediately making the officer leave the man's collar who punched him.

“He punched me Sir! We have to arrest him” the officer spoke and Jimin scanned his face, noticing the prominent punch mark at his jaw.

“I only punched him because he grabbed my butt!” the civilian man spat in anger.

“No I didn't!” the officer countered.

“He did! I'm the eyewitness” another civilian spoke.

“No I was ju-” the officer tried to counter again but Jimin had enough of their nonsense so he rose is hand.

“Enough” he ordered sharply, making everyone shut their mouths with a gulp.

“You!” He called the man who punched the officer, “did he really grab your butt?” Jimin asked scanning his face for lies.

“Yes!” The man answered with a glare.

“I was just trying to neutralize him!” The officer unceremoniously raised his voice in exasperation.

“What did he do?” Jimin now questioned the officer.

“He punched that guy” he pointed to another man who had a bleeding lip.

“Why did you punch him?” Jimin asked the man again, getting irritated already.

“He grabbed my butt!” the man's voice sounded equally exasperated.

“Bloody hell” Jimin whispered as he face palmed.

“Arrest them both” Jimin ordered the officer and the three civilians immediately protested.

“You're all drunk” Jimin glared at them, “be happy I'm letting you go” he pointed towards the man who had apple cheeks and turned to leave.

“But-” the man protested but Jimin immediately turned back, the man almost running into him.

“Come collect your friend at the department tomorrow morning at 7 AM” Jimin said and walked away, making the man sigh in frustration.

“Stupid Kook” Hoseok muttered as he saw his friend being dragged away by the officer who apparently 'grabbed’ his butt along with the man who actually grabbed his butt.

Hours later:

“Officer!” Jungkook yelled out from inside the cell he was kept in. He was pretty much drunk and angry. He didn't like people taking advantage of the crowded space to enjoy grabbing his heavenly Jungbooty.

“Can someone shut him up?! Officer Min wouldn't tolerate this shit if he shows up” Jimin yelled when he returned from his rounds, only to see this particular civilian creating havoc at the police department.

“He's being yelling since we put him in” Jackson said as he held an ice pack on his jaw.

“Did you really grab his ass?” Jimin asked sternly.

“By mistake!” Jackson sounded genuine so Jimin hummed and left towards the direction of his personal office.

“Sir, may I come in?” Jackson stood at Jimin's door hours later.

“Yes, what is it?” Jimin asked as he rubbed his eyes.

He had been doing his paperwork since he came back and he hasn't got even a blink of sleep since yesterday.

“The man's yelling for food now” Jackson stated with an amusing tone.

“Ugh, we do not get paid enough for this shit” Jimin muttered as he got up to go out towards the cells.

“Officer! I'm hungry~” the man's voice had turned whiney, far from what Jimin remembered it.

“We don't allow you food since you'll be released in few hours” Jimin checked his wristwatch, “two hours to be exact”.

“But I'm hungry!” Jungkook whined with a pout.

Jimin's heart somewhat melted and he realised he too hasn't eaten anything for hours now.

“Order two kimchi fried rice and two spicy chickens” Jimin said to Jackson who gasped.

“But that's against protocol” he whispered.

“Fuck the protocol, you follow my orders” Jimin glared and Jackson ran away to do as told.

Jimin then sighed and sat on one of the desks facing the cells the man was held in.

He scanned the man and deducted that the man looked quite young, was pretty drunk too and was extremely cute to be simply put. Jimin unconsciously smiled when he saw the guy was falling asleep as he sat on the bench with his mouth hanging open.

“Give me his file” Jimin ordered the officer at the other desk who immediately handed him a red file from top of a pile.

“Hmm, a college student. No wonder he's so drunk” Jimin muttered and the officer laughed along.

Jimin found out the details he needed, like his name, age and such.

“I'm hungry~” the guy's small voice made Jimin look up from the file and Jimin actually giggled at the cute boy.

“Yeah, the food's on it's way, have some patience” Jimin called out and the boy hummed and fell asleep right away.

“Sir, I'm done with my shift, see you tomorrow” the officer on the next desk stood and bowed with a smile.

“Bye” Jimin gave a small wave and turned his attention towards the file, not realising the officer's dreamy smile as he left.

Jimin didn't know that half of the station was head over heels for him, and the fact that he was friendly with everyone didn't help at all.

“Here's the food boss” Jackson called out as he placed several packages on the desk beside Jimin and tipped his head before exiting as Jimin thanked him.

“Hey! Food's here” Jimin called out as he was unlocking the cell. In his other hand, he held half of the food and a water bottle.

“Hey buddy!” Jimin slapped his cheeks lightly as he neared him. The man was pretty much asleep since he didn't wake up from Jimin's voice.

'He's so cute’ Jimin took sometime to admire the beauty before him, then he shook his shoulder.

“Woah an angel” the boy whispered as he opened his eyes, making Jimin chuckle.

“Here, eat up” Jimin placed the bag in his hands and stood up. He placed the water bottle next to him on the bench and walked out of the cell.

“Another hour before you get released” Jimin informed him and the guy simply nodded his head like a bobble head.

'Still drunk as fuck’ Jimin laughed internally before leaving towards his office with his food.

An hour later:

“Boss, your sign” Jackson entered Jimin's office and presented a file.

“Aah, the Jeon kid, let me handle this” Jimin stood up and signed the paper. He then left his office with the file.

Jimin reached the outer room and there stood the man from last night with the apple cheeks. Jimin hummed impressed at the man's loyalty to his friend. He had expected the other guy to not show up since he'd be blackout drunk.

“Hello officer, sorry about my friend” the man tipped his head at Jimin, “he shouldn't have punched that officer” Hoseok gestured behind Jimin.

“It's okay, just make sure it doesn't happen again. His name is in the system now” Jimin said with displeasure and Hoseok nodded.

“Hey, handle with care!” A loud voice whined, grabbing everyone's attention.

“Jungkook!” Hoseok took hold of his friend's arm, who was still drunk. Then the officer who brought him out of the cell removed the cuffs he put before bringing him.

“Angel!” Jungkook yelled when his eyes landed on Jimin after scanning the whole room.

Jimin gritted his teeth in half anger and half embarrassment.

“Shut up! You're going to get us into trouble” Hoseok nudged his friend, before trying to pull him away but Jungkook wouldn't budge from his place.

“No~ I need to know my angel's name” Jungkook pulled at his arm, making Hoseok crash into his side because of his power. And as Hoseok hit into his side, the blow made him puke, right over Jimin's shoes.

“Fucking hell!” Jimin exclaimed as he stepped back, frowning at his ruined shoes.

Everyone else gasped and Hoseok screamed in horror.

“Oh my God! I am so sorry officer! My friend is fucking stupid” Hoseok muttered as he looked around for tissues.

“It's okay, just take him away please” Jimin sighed as he brushed his hair back.

“No, I should help clean this” Hoseok said, looking apologetic.

“No, we have cleaners. Just go before I stick him in the cell again” Jimin pointed towards Jungkook who leaned against a desk, still dazed.

“Okay, sorry sir, extremely sorry” Hoseok apologised profusely till he walked out the door, dragging Jungkook along.

Jimin turned around to leave and Jackson gave him a look that accused 'you brought this upon yourself’.

“Shut up” Jimin whispered and walked away to clean his shoes.
