The Bonds Between Us

Chapter 17

Just before dinner, the family had visitors, Taehyung and Jimin, so they had dinner together with them.

"Fortunately, we come on time. Thanks for the food, Hyerin-ah." Taehyung said sitting down on the couch. They settled themselves in the living room after the meals.

"Anytime, Oppa." She said smiling while putting a plate of fruit on the table.

"I'm just curious, Rin. You never address me as Oppa even once." Jungkook stated and she shrugged. Daehan crossed his legs on the floor watching his favorite cartoon in tablet and Ppalgang hopped on his owner's laps.

"And easily, you call them all Oppa." He sounded jealous.

"Eh, someone is jealous, Hyerin-ah." Jimin teased nudging Jungkook's arm.

"Really?" She asked raising her eyebrow.

"You better call me oppa before I make you to." Jungkook teased wiggling his eyebrow back to her with a smirk. Hyerin cleared her throat turning away, blushing.

"Wah, wah, wah, we're still breathing here, Maknae." Taehyung whined as Jimin threw a pillow at the maknae.

"Han-ah, it's time to do homework." Hyerin changed topic and Daehan got up.

"Goodnight, Samchun. Goodnight, Appa." He obediently bowed at them and pecked his father's cheek before walking into his room with his Omma as Ppalgang followed behind.

"Such a cutie." Taehyung mumbled looking at the boy.

"Let's talk in my office." Jungkook said getting up as his playful expression earlier changed into a serious one.

"Jin hyung is working on what you want to know and we have something interesting to show you." Taehyung said walking into the room with the tray of fruits as his friends followed behind.

"Something is off with them. I found something related to the late Oh HwangIn and Choi Kyuwon and the mission you mentioned was a secret one between a member of secret agent. Meanwhile, there is a concern with Gloss because he's always being chased by a prosecutor, Ahn Woohyun. Do you know anything about it?" Jimin explained and asked back as they settled themselves on the couch.

"He's been chasing over Gloss for years. And there's someone behind it that we need to find out." Jungkook said turning on his laptop.

"To be safe he has to slow down his plans these days. And I plan to keep him in for awhile but look like he doesn't want to." The chief continued and they kept their discussion until they found solutions together.

After tucking her son to bed, Hyerin came out of the room finding her husband just came back from sending his hyungs off.

"They went back?" She asked walking into the kitchen.

"Yes, your oppas went back." He teased following her as she opened the fridge and took out a bottle of water.

"What's wrong with me calling them oppa?" She asked looking at him before gulping down the water.

"I'm your husband and you never call me that. Plus, I'm older." He stated sitting on the table.

"Don't you think it will make you uncomfortable?" She said walking out and headed to the main room.

"Uncomfortable? Meant?" Jungkook asked walking behind her.

"Doesn't it make you feel cringe, does it? We're too mature to say something like that." She said turning to him and looked straight into his eyes.

"Nope, not at all especially when we're in our room." His smirk became visible as he stared into her big bright eyes through those glasses.

"And since you mentioned something about mature, why don't we do something mature?" The more he teased, the more he found it's fun. He reached his hands to take her glasses off but she stepped back.

"Jeon...Jeon Jungkook, stop it..." She became flutter immediately.

"Oppa?" His eyebrow raised with the word.

"Ne...Never..." Her back touched the wall as she shook her head. His hands rested beside her shoulders trapping her small frame in.

"Rin..." Softly, he said her name. She looked up upon hearing how soft her name came out of his lips.

"I hate these cold gazes, steady looks and calm aura...because I find it's hard to reach you." He finally let it out. She bit her lips didn't know what to do. It just came out naturally without being force. Her personality turned different since the marriage. Perhaps, he didn't know.

"I know this marriage taught you a lot. It gave you rough time, tough life and hardships. And most of all, I am one of the main reasons, ain't I?" He realized it. Hyerin sighed looking down to her feet.

"And I'm..."

"You don't have to say sorry again. It won't change anything." She mumbled.

"I know..." Jungkook nodded, took back his hands and stood straight, ready to walk away.

"But..." It was almost a whisper but he could hear it.

"Make it all up. Don't change me, make me change instead." Clearly, she stated it. Happily, a smile creeped up on his lips.

"Thanks..." His smile became wider as she smiled back.

His nose reached her soft cheek as their lips met. His hands circled around her waist as her arms wrapped around his neck with her pounding heart. There's any gaps between their hot bodies, heating the kiss up. The cold air hit her bare shoulders as he trailed down to her collar bone. A whimper came out of her beautiful lips when his warm palm made contact with her bare waist in a gentle touch. Soft groans stuck in her throat whenever he made a move and it never failed to quicken her heartbeat. It still felt new to them and she couldn't even describe the feeling to have him with her.

*********

The day almost ended again, Hyerin took her son to visit her parent after knowing they came back from holiday with her parent-in law.

Ppalgang happily ran into the house as the boy chased after him.

"Han-ah, greet your grandma and grandpa first." She reminded him before he could run into his cousin's room to play.

"Ne~" He sang and ran into his grandparent's room. Hyerin went into the kitchen to help her sister prepare food.

"Oh, you're here, Hyerin-ah?" Hyera, the sister smiled. She had a same smile as her sister, but looked more tender.

"Ne, doing well, Unnie?" Hyerin asked cracking eggs.

"He didn't come home these days. I don't know what to do. Hyerin-ah, is it good to divorce?" She asked tearing up.

"If you can hold on, let do it, Unnie. He's always too much to you." The younger gave opinion.

"I think about it over and it reaches my limit."

"I respect your decision."

"Thanks. And how are you with Jungkook?" The older asked back.

"Just...fine." Hyerin smiled weakly. She wanted to discuss marriage life with her sister but guess it's not the right time.

"Rin, if he's willing to do anything for you, make it up with him. I know you have struggled so much with him but he's not that bad."

"Thanks, Unnie."

"Having a husband who busy with work is better than having a husband who busy with girls. Got it, Rin?"

"Ne~"

********

The police station fell into a chaos as a group of g**g were captured because of selling d**g suspects and beating people up in a casino.

The chief walked in the room and the noise died down. His sharp eyes darted on the boss who had his legs on the desk, arrogant and unbothered.

"Welcome back, Min Yoongi-ssi." Jungkook greeted as he stood in front of the boss.

"I want to see my lawyer." He coldly said playing with a pen. The agents eyed him with annoying looks but he didn't even care.

"And I want to know why am I even here?"

"Choose one of them with you, the rest need to go back." The chief said seriously and Min Yoongi looked up.

"Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"Jeon Jungkook, the chief."

"Fine, Hoon." He gestured his finger and a guy came up to stand behind him.

"You all go back."

"But boss..." Moondong hesitated.

"Take care of the places, Moondong."

"Ne." And Moondong leaded the rest out of the police station.

"What now?" He asked staring straight into the chief's eyes.

"You need to rest up for a while, sir."

********

Two vehicles ran across a quiet road headed out of the town in fast speed while there's a controlling bar waiting ahead about 1 kilometer.

Reflecting fast, the cars stopped and was about to move the tires back but a group of policemen came out of the bushes and aimed to stop.

The sirens and flash lights roared up the dark road for the agents and criminal to ready to load the g*n anytime.

The chief's eyes scanned the driver seats of the two cars while a detective announced a warning to the drivers not to make a move.

"Get off your car, hands up and surrender!" Slowly, the police approached the cars carefully.

Four guys came out of the cars with their hands up and two dogs ran around them, sniffing.

The cars were checked thoroughly but any single of d**g were found. Jungkook's frown appeared deeper as a car came in a picture and Woohyun, the prosecutor walked in with a smirk of sarcasm.

"What do you think about detaining the civilian because your failed suspicion? This is how a famous chief Jeon Jungkook always do to complete a mission?" He mocked looking straight at Jungkook. The chief stayed silent looking back at the prosecutor.

"Boss, should we question them first?" A police bowed and asked.

"Let them go." Firmly, he ordered. Woohyun chuckled stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"And how a prosecutor can come here without permission is a question. Woohyuk, collect your brother." Jungkook said tossing a g*n to Woohyuk who was still shock to see his brother there with them.

"What? That prosecutor is Woohyuk's brother?" The detective questioned each other as Woohyun kept a bitter smile on.

"Retreat guys!"

********

With heavy steps, the chief walked in a quiet room with his dress uniform, formal and neat.

He made a formal salute to a man behind the desk before standing with arms back.

"You're here. I have a lots to say but first let make it comfortable." The boss said standing up and walked toward Jungkook. He put his hand on the younger's shoulder nodding.

"You have worked hard, Jungkook. But sometimes it's way too hard. Need some rest?"

"No, sir." With straight face, he replied.

"Good..." Suddenly, the door cracked open again and four guys barged in.

"Sorry, we're late, sir!" They bowed in an unorganized manner, rushed and messy.

"Shh, again, guys again." The boss mumbled eyeing them who were still panting hard.

"Jung Hoseok! Kim Seokjin! Park Jimin! Kim Taehyung! Kneel down!!!"

"Bossssss~~~~~"

"And where the hell is Kim Namjoon!!!!"
