Winter was cold. Of course, cold weather made things harder for detectives. Due to the nature of their work, the cold weather, which was difficult to stay outdoors, was bound to be the object of resentment for them who had a lot of latent work.
However, They had no choice but to work. And it's so hard to make ends meet. That simple truth still applied to reality.
"Captain Kim."
"I told you to call me sunbae."
"...sunbae."
"Okay."
Only then did Kim, MinSoo opened the car door with a smile.
"I brought warm coffee."
"Oh, good job."
Kim, MinSoo and Seo, JaeKyung were on a stakeout. If Kim, MinSoo was a high-ranking senior as his rank 'captain' implies, Seo, JaeKyung was still a rookie not long after becoming a police officer.
"When you're working undercover, it's most important to focus. You don't know when and where your thing will appear. Concentrating is the most difficult and important thing."
"Yes, sir! I see."
Seo, JaeKyung, who still had little experience, was very disciplined. Kim, MinSoo laughed while watching Seo, JaeKyung. Of course, he had such a time. When He first became a police officer, He really seemed like a young child who didn't know anything, but time had gone by so fast that He was now called the team leader.
"So, what do you do for fun?"
"Hobby?" I don't have any."
"Don't you have any hobbies?"
"Yes, I'm a little boring."
Kim, MinSoo smiled and laughed at Seo, JaeKyung. Perhaps because he was still young, he seemed very nervous in front of the captain. Such a posture was a good posture. He hadn't seen any of the ones who were comfortable with their seniors from the beginning and had a good end.
The job of police was always in the middle of danger. They had to think about the fact that their lives might disappear anytime, anywhere. Kim, MinSoo also had an experience of almost dying. He couldn't remember it well because it's a long time ago.
"It's not a bad thing to be boring. However, working can be hard, so it's good to do something to relieve stress. For example, exercise."
"If it's working out, I'm working out hard."
"Yeah. You have to develop your physical strength, so, of course, it's better to work out steadily. Besides that, it would be nice to learn Taekwondo, Judo, and other martial arts."
"Oh..."
Seo, JaeKyung closed his mouth while blurring the tip of his tongue. He thought He was going to say something, but He just decided not to. Kim, MinSoo decided not to ask anymore and recalled the reason why he was working undercover again.
"So, the person we need to catch..."
"Yeah, he's a scammer.”
Kim, MinSoo's eyes sparkled. Whenever he thought of the criminal, his eyes were always lively. It was too natural for the police, Kim, MinSoo, to catch a bad guy. He became a police officer to catch a bad guy and never hated it.
People asked the reason why he was working so hard, but Kim, MinSoo didn't think he was a workaholic...... Even though he was still single in his late 30s, that's another reason.
"Will he come out today?"
"I don't know."
They were working undercover to catch Cho JinSeok, a famous scammer. He was famous for hiding himself, but strangely, there was a rumor that he appeared well around this subway station. Upon receiving the tip-off, they had decided a stakeout here.
"If he doesn't come out today, I'll be here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, until he comes."
"He'll come out at most in three days.”
"I think so, too."
There was a moment of silence between the two, and Kim, MinSoo opened his mouth first.
"You should get some sleep. You must be tired."
"Me? I'm fine."
"Do what the senior tells you to do."
"...okay."
Seo, JaeKyung slightly closed his eyes. He quickly breathed regularly, perhaps tired from a long stakeout.
Kim, MinSoo looked at Seo, JaeKyung. The eyes were deep. They must be so to Kim, MinSoo. Kim, MinSoo actually fell in love with Seo, JaeKyung at first sight. In fact, Kim, MinSoo realized his sexual orientation as a gay when he was in college. But He had told that to only a few friends.
The reason why he did not marry and became an old bachelor was because he was not interested in women. Even when He saw a woman's body, He was not attracted. He couldn't feel anything from the so-called glamourous tits. He was more excited about a man's body. The so-called well-kept body. Kim, MinSoo was crazy about such a body.
Seo, JaeKyung was in the radar of Kim, MinSoo. It was not known whether he was gay or not, but at least the fact that he had a good and handsome man in his eyes made him feel better. It was Seo, JaeKyung, who looked like a model.
That's why Kim, MinSoo specially brought him out for this latent work. He decided to have such false hope because He didn't know what would happen if they stayed together for a long time.
"Cute."
Seo, JaeKyung's face looked cute, too. He didn't know if it had taken a long time to study for the police exam, but he said he was in his mid-30s. When Seo, JaeKyung first came in as a newbie, Kim, MinSoo had to smile tremendously wide at his handsome face and quickly fix his expression.
"Whoo."
Although he was with Seo, JaeKyung, who he liked, a difficult thing was still difficult. It was actually close to impossible to catch Cho JinSeok, who, nobody knew, would appear when. There were not many cases where the latent work ended successfully. However, the reason why they had to do it was because they had to catch bad guys in the end. Kim, MinSoo was confident in such end.
