Chapter Text
"That crazy punk beat my son up! he's in the hospital right now because of him, why aren't you locking him up right now!?"
"I know sir, but he's saying that it was your son that started the fight, they are youngsters you know, why don't you just agree to settle?"
"He's a twenty seven year old man who beat my son up! you can't just let him walk around freely after this!!"
"he's right, Inspector Lee Dongshik, he should be taken to the violent crimes unit" Han Juwon adds as Dongshik rolled his eyes.
"Yeah that's right, since protecting myself makes me such a violent criminal"
"Yoon Jongwoo, you have the right to remain silent" Juwon commanded.
"This is the second time you have assaulted a person in two weeks of moving in to Manyang and not just that, I have done some digging about your past, I don't think we can just let you walk around freely" Juwon hissed.
"You bastard-"
"Dr. Seo Moonjo, thank you for coming at this hour, sorry for disturbing you but we have a situation here" Dongshik hastily said as he saw Moonjo walk in the station.
"It's alright, Inspector, I'm guessing that you are the father of the boy who Jong woo had a dispute with, I'm terribly sorry for what he did, why don't we talk some things out" Moonjo smoothly said turning to the boy's father and he seemed to calm down a bit.
"Dr. Seo, you're such a respectable man, why do you have to stand up for that punk, he's a danger to society!" The boy's father added. Moonjo noticed Jongwoo getting slightly teary eyed.
"Why don't we discuss this outside" Moonjo suggested and Dongshik walked outside with them.
Juwon was still glaring at Jongwoo, but he found it strange that Jongwoo didn't look relieved after Moonjo came, he looked like he was about to cry.
After a while they walked back in and Dongshik gave Juwon a look, signaling to let Jongwoo out of the handcuffs.
"Inspector Dongshik, we shouldn't let him go-"
"They settled, no need to make a big deal out of this, let him go" Dongshik whispered to Juwon and he rolled his eyes. He walked to Jongwoo and uncuffed him.
"Jagiya, wait outside in the car for me, you're alright" Moon jo said coming closer to Jong woo. Some of the officers in the station glancing curiously at each other after they heard the name of endearment. Jong woo quickly stormed off of the station.
"Thank you for dealing with this smoothly, Dr. Seo but I will suggest talking some sense into him, this is the second time he's done this" Dongshik said trying to not sound too rude.
"I will, he's having a hard time settling into a new place and he has a bad temper sometimes but I try my best to take care of him" Moon jo said politely.
"What is your relationship with Yoon Jongwoo?" Juwon asked sternly earning a glare from Dongshik.
"That's none of our business, Juwon" Dongshik added.
Moonjo chuckled and left the station, going back to his car and his darling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looking angry which Moonjo thought was cute.
"Did you hear him call him Jagiya, they must be dating" Gwang young chimed in.
"I know right, but it's crazy that someone like Dr. Seo would be with Jong woo, he's so charming, I swear some people go to his clinic just to see him even if they don't have any problems" another rookie officer added.
"I know right, a few days back I was at the grocery store and I saw him and he greeted me, the way he talked even made me blush" Jihun said with a giggle.
"Get back to work, it's no use gossiping about things that don't matter" Juwon said sternly.
"Are you jealous, you know since you're not the number one hottest man in town anymore" Jihun joked as everyone laughed.
"Inspector Dongshik, can we talk outside for a moment" Juwon said feeling annoyed, Dongshik smiled and followed him outside.
"Don't tell me you are actually jealous" Dongshik joked lightheartedly.
"No I'm not, but i wanted to talk about Yoon Jongwoo" Juwon stated.
"I told you not dig up information about him, what are you? A stalker?"
"No, I was just curious"
"But anyways, they used to live in a residence where most of the tenants went missing, a lot of other people in the area went missing too, Dr. Seo Moon jo reported the landlady, Eom Boksoon as missing, I did some research and apparently Dr. Seo was raised in a orphanage run by the landlady and he visited the residence often to help her with things, but other than that his record is spotless and he was a respected dentist that often did charity work but Yoon Jongwoo on the other hand, almost beat up a person to death while he was doing his military service, when he moved into Seoul and lived in the residence, he beat up 3 other people along with his coworker and boss. All of the times while he was in Seoul, Seo Moon jo was the one who payed for settlements.
"You've done a lot of stalking huh?" Lee Dongshik said with a chuckle.
"Come on, don't you think all of this is strange?" Juwon said suggested
"I do but we can't just doubt people without any evidence, Even though something feels off about Dr. Seo he seems like a great guy and maybe Yoon Jongwoo just has anger issues that he needs to work on" Dongshik replied.
"I know that you have trouble trusting people, you didn't trust anyone in this town when you moved in but have some faith, okay? and do not investigate anything without the chiefs persmission" Dongshik said patting Juwon in the back and heading back inside. Juwon sighed and went back in.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Jagiya, let me tend to your wounds" Moonjo said as they entered their home, he wanted to buy a home in a nice secluded place so he could spend all his time with Jongwoo and maybe have some side projects as well, Manyang seemed like the perfect place since there weren't many people in the town due to serial killings taking place, the redevelopment of the town was in a halt since the chairwoman was arrested so many had moved out.
But Han Juwon was a nuisance, not only was he unpleasant to Jong woo, Moon jo knew that out of all of the cops Juwon suspected him the most because of course he would, he and Lee Dongshik were the reason why the serial killer was found and Juwon even arrested his own father.
Thankfully he wasn't in charge of the missing people cases in Seoul surrounding the residence and after his father was arrested both Lee Dongshik and Han Juwon were demoted to Manyang which would mean that even if Han Juwon was determined he didn't have as much power.
"Honey, ignoring me won't make you feel any better" Moonjo said as Jongwoo went to the kitchen without saying a word.
Jongwoo was still silent.
"Jongwoo, I know you are upset but please talk to me, you know I hate it when you ignore me" Moon jo said grabbing Jong woo's arm.
"You didn't have to pick me up at the station again" Jong woo said finally looking up at Moon jo.
"But you do understand that we just moved in here, we need to gain the people's trust first. So you can't go around throwing your anger at people for now, I love it when you express your true emotions but there are some things that we need to be cautious about" Moonjo reassured putting a hand on Jongwoo's cheek wanting to pull him closer for a kiss.
"I wasn't throwing my anger at them, they provoked me first and I'll never be like you, people in this town already think you are perfect, they have no idea you are a monster but somehow I'm the bad guy" Jong woo yelled and headed to the front door.
"Jagiya, where are you going?" Moon jo asked.
"Away from you" he cried, glancing back at Moonjo.
"Don't go, seriously, not right now" Moonjo said sternly, his usual soft expression changing ever so slightly which sent chills down Jongwoo's spine.
Once again Jongwoo was reminded that he wasn't living with a normal man, he lived with a dangerous serial killer who ruined Jong woo's life, he was way more out of control now and Moonjo encouraged it, he made him kill all the remaining three residents in Eden and disposed the bodies in whatever way Moon jo disposes of them and reported all of them missing, but Jongwoo can't deny that it felt good to kill them and he hated himself for it.
"I hate you" Jong woo said storming off to his room he was thankful that he at least had a room to himself.
Moon jo sighed, communication wasn't easy with Jong woo but he has improved a bit even though most of the times they talked were arguments, Moon jo was thankful that at least he talked to him, he really did hate when Jong woo ignored him.
