Can kisses be count as bribes? If it is, then, Yoo Joonghyuk is one hella corrupted of a policeman. And it’s all because of that criminal rat. The very same rat that is currently parading around his room in nothing but a pair of boxer and an unbuttoned dress shirt while answering a call from whoever the fuck it is that dares to interrupt their alone time together.
“—tell Shin Yoosung to cut his tongue, i will go there in the morning, and i don’t want to hear some dog yappin—”
You can immediately tell just by the look that Yoo Joonghyuk is giving kim dokja right now that he is the total definition of the phrase ‘whipped’.
He first met Kim Dokja when he was still in Police Academy. They were roommates.
“Hey there, you must be Yoo Joonghyuk right? I’m Ki–” Yoo Joonghyuk did not give the stranger time to finish his sentence before he picked up the shorter guy by the throat and start questioning “ Who are you? What are you doing here? How do you know my name?”
“ i- yo-r ro-mate!”
Realizing the held man could not answer properly due to the choke, Yoo Joonghyuk let the man down and loosen his grip, though not completely remove it, it was enough for the other guy to breath and talk properly.
“ geez- you bastard, is that how you normally greet people or am i just special?”
“answer”
“okay, i’m Kim Dokja, your roommate. And your name is on the door genius, it’s not hard to figure it out. Now, can you release me?”
Kim Dokja was not someone who you would fall in love at the first sight. He is not ethereally beautiful nor is he the most handsome man in the whole world. It took a whole lot of staring to even fully make out his face and it took a whole more to see that the man is pretty in his own way. Yoo joonghyuk would know this, of course, cause he had done exactly this himself. Despite trying so hard to ignore the annoying rat, Joonghyuk would be lying if he said that the fool did not manage to get under his skin. Quite the opposite, It took Kim Dokja only a few weeks to get yoo joonghyuk to be completely obsess over him.
“ You protagonist bastard. At least smile a little, you just got first in class with record breaking marks. You are currently basically insulting me by not being proud of it”
“shut up kim dokja” ‘-- before i kissed you and your stupidly pretty face’ went unsaid.
Right after they graduated police academy, they both had been sent to Chungmuro Police station as their first task.
“ what are the odds that we would get the same station for our first task huh Yoo Joonghyuk? This is totally fate. I bet we are going to achieve something great here together”
‘like you marrying me’ Yoo Joonghyuk had thought but instead of voicing it out, he just grunt in respond.
True to Kim Dokja’s word, the ‘something great’ did happen a few months into them being on duty. No, they did not get married, but they did capture one of the biggest fish in the trafficking ring.
If anyone had to say anything about the duo’s performances while doing their task there, they would say that they both had done a magnificent job. After all, it was them who had contributed the most in the capturing Anna Croft, the leader of Zarasthura, a foreign organization that mainly traffics drug under the belief that it will bring peace to the world. Yoo Joonghyuk had long thought the woman was lunatic when he had been kidnapped and threaten by her group to stop the investigation, it was a good thing that he was never one to listen.
The next great thing that happen while on duty together was Yoo Joonghyuk’s confession towards Kim Dokja that had come not long after the capturing. They did not get married, but Yoo Joonghyuk was quite satisfied with being the latter’s companion at the moment.
“Waahh~ Hyukkie-ah, we really did achieve something great here after all.”
Seeing Kim Dokja drunk and smiling so widely after they both got their first star due to the mission’s big success, Joonghyuk thought the former look cuter and prettier than ever. Being unable to contain his heart content anymore, yoo joonghyuk had kissed the squid in their own private celebration party in Kim Dokja house that night. It marked the start of their newfound relationship.
After their upgrade in rank, everyone thought that the duo would make it big one day, no one would ever thought that one of the two would quit a month later.
Kim Dokja one day had suddenly pulls out a resignation letter without giving anyone, not even yoo joonghyuk, any explanation. Yoo joonghyuk, who had been on a stake out with another partner that day, had returned to an empty table right where his boyfriend’s stuff should be.
Kim Dokja had vanished that day. It was like he never existed in the first place, or someone had deliberately deleted his existence. His number is not in the service, his apartment house where they had their first kiss, was rented by someone else, and most importantly, Kim Dokja’s personal information from any database, either the police academy, police station, previous schools or any other places, were missing and could not be found.
Two months passed with Yoo Joonghyuk going in a circle of trying to find Kim dokja without any lead. The search itself is a impossible feat. No one could ever someone who basically did not exist. Or at least, that was what his colleague had said. Yoo Joonghyuk, however, could not give up and everyone can see that he was reaching his limits and going out of mind and about to lose his job because of it.
One time, while trying to catch a thief, Yoo Joonghyuk thought that he saw Kim Dokja and turn to run after the figure. He got his first warning then. Another time, he thought he saw Kim Dokja while cuffing a vandalizer. He had cuffed the vandalizer to a pole to run after ‘Kim Dokja’, only to return disappointedly to a broken cuff and a post it note that had a picture of a dick drawn clumsily and hastily. That was when he got his second warning. He did not, however, manage to get a third warning, but that was only because he was being held back in the office by his superior. His superior thought that yoo joonghyuk would do better doing reports than field works , just so that he did not let another offender go just because he sees another ‘kim dokja’ figure.
Joonghyuk was basically a madman chasing after his nonexistant lover. Although his colleagues pitied him and understand where he is coming from, that does not mean that they can do anything about it. Life goes on for everyone except for yoo joonghyuk.
Never would Yoo Joonghyuk thought that his life would start turning again in the most unexpected situation. Especially not in some random dark alley on a random day at a random time.
It was just another evening of missing Kim Dokja for Yoo Joonghyuk. He had got off his shift and went straight to the pharmacy to grab another bottle of sleeping pill. It was the only thing that could help him get the little sleep he could get with his insomnia.
Walking out of the premise, Yoo Joonghyuk suddenly heard a soft grunt and string of cusses that sounds suspiciously a lot like Kim Dokja. Following the sound that most likely coming from the alley next to the pharmacy, yoo joonghyuk found himself in front of a bloodied man leaning against the wall, almost unconscious.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Yoo Joonghyuk immediately get down to check the man’s condition. Upon seeing the man’s face, Joonghyuk could feel his heart dropped. It was dark and yoo joonghyuk couldn’t see anything properly without barely any light around. He could most probably be mistaken again. But somehow he knew. He knew this is it. This is him. His love, his beloved, his life. And he will never let him leave again. Not in this lifetime. That’s what he thought as he called out “Kim Dokja”
“Hyuk-ah, what are you thinking about” while he was deep in thought, Joonghyuk did not realize that the other man had already done with the phone call and now is sliding in onto his lap. Once comfortably settled in, Kim Dokja grab both of the bigger man’s arm and put it around him. Yoo Joonghyuk took the chance to tightened the hold and nuzzle into the man in front of him.
“we probably never meet each other again if i didn’t stumble into you in that alley that day.”
“hmm.. but i was planning to kidnap you though.”
The moment he said that, Kim Dokja saw Yoo Joonghyuk face turned to look at him. “really?”
“Of course, you wouldn’t think that i’d get into relationship with you just to have a couple weeks of fun do you? I took you as mine, there is no escape now hyuk-ah.”
His face might be as stoic as ever but god knows how happy he is to hear that Kim Dokja never had plans to leave or let him leave. Two months without each other is enough. Yoo joonghyuk would rather chain himself in Kim Dokja’s bedroom and continue to chain the owner to him, so none of them could leave. “There better not.”
“Don’t worry hyuk-ah, there won’t be any. I’ll make sure if we die, we’ll die together. My original plan was to have you after my position is more stable like i am now. I was going to tell my people to bring you to me. But this way is better too. I realized now, i should have just bring you with me back then. We wouldn’t be too miserable then.”
“ you really should ” most probably would never notice, but Kim Dokja can definitely hear the sulk in his boyfriend’s answer.
“i know that now, i’m sorry hyuk-ah” Kim Dokja said as he turned to face Yoo Joonghyuk and put his hands around his neck before leaning in to kiss the sulky man in front of him.
Pulling back from the kiss, Kim Dokja notice that they were both pretty much naked from the previous activity, “hyuk-ah, let’s continue where were interrupted shall we?”
Well, who is yoo joonghyuk to reject world’s biggest mafia lord’s invitation.
