KALOPSIA; a #taekookau [a/b/o]

“He is here,” Jimin passes by his desk in a hurry.

Taehyung stands up, bowing with a wide smile when he sees Minhyuk pass by his desk.

Minhyuk nods at him, offers him a small smile as he goes. Taehyung sits down with a pout. Staring after him.

“Another day of him ignoring me!” Taehyung whines, nudging Jimin with his foot, “come on, why can't he be in love with me?”

Jimin snorts, not looking up from his files, “you are thinking too much.”

Taehyung looks at where Minhyuk is and curses, “or, maybe Jeon is the reason!”

Taehyung glares at the alpha who is talking to Minhyuk. Minhyuk looks impressed with whatever Jungkook is saying. Taehyung watches the captain pat Jungkook's bicep with a smile before going inside his cabin.

Jungkook comes back to his desk, smirking at Taehyung, “1 point to me.”

“Oh, fuck off, Jeon!” Taehyung rolls his eyes, “he was just being polite!”

“Oh?” Jungkook arches a brow, “he told me, he is impressed with my monthly arrest records, and he complimented how I look. Who's wining this?”

Taehyung chews the inside of his cheek, “me! I will!”

“Are you two still trying to get in our captain's pants?” Jin comes to drop a few case files on Taehyung and Jungkook's desks.

Taehyung picks up a file, flipping it open, “I am trying to court him. Meanwhile, Jungkookie here is trying to get in his pants.”

Jin snorts, “right.”

“Lieutenant, you tell them to stop this nonsense,” Jimin says from his desk, “their constant fight is getting on our nerves!”

Jin holds up his hands, “I am enjoying this. I won't get in the middle,” he looks over at Yoongi, “sergeant Min, what's the score?”

Yoongi pulls out his phone, reads, “Jungkookie is leading by two extra points because he cooked a meal for captain that captain didn't stop talking about since!”

Namjoon and Hoseok, the senior detectives of the precinct, sit on Taehyung and Jungkook's desk, enjoying the drama.

It's a bet that's going on for six months now. Since Captain Jung Minhyuk was sent to the precinct as commanding head. He is known for being the first and only omega captain in KNPA.

Taehyung and Jungkook, both alphas, and junior detectives, got in a bet to win the captain's heart.

“So, what?” Taehyung flails his hands, “now I have to learn how to cook?”

“You should know how to cook,” Jungkook says, “it's basic-”

“Oh, shut up,” Taehyung rolls his eyes.

“You can't lose to Jungkookie for a basic cooking skill, Tae,” Jimin, Taehyung's best friend and another junior detective, says from his desk, “come on.”

Taehyung glares at Jungkook, who is smirking at him.

“I will win him over, Kim,” Jungkook wiggles his brows, “watch me.”

“I will win him over,” Taehyung leans onto his desk, eyes boring into Jungkook's mirthful ones, “mate him, get married and make you cook on our wedding reception. You watch me, Jeon.”

“Not even a murder entertains me as much as these two do,” Yoongi says, “trust me.”

“A murder should not entertain you,” Jimin frowns at the sergeant, “it should worry you.”

Yoongi rolls his eyes, “oh, get that stick out of your ass. I meant solving a murder mystery entertains me. Not the murder itself.”

Jimin eyes him suspiciously, “I don't trust you.”

Jin claps his hands, “as much as I love this discussion of who is going to win the captain over, we have cases to solve. Min?”

Yoongi nods, opening a file on his computer, “I have sent you the mails. Your partners for the next cases are assigned. All the best.”

Taehyung opens the mail, reading the details of the bank robbery and then seeing he is assigned with Jungkook.

Jungkook looks up at him at the same time, throwing a salute his way. Taehyung throws one back. They work good together. Everything aside, they are a good team.

“You get the car,” Jungkook picks up his jacket, “I will meet you downstairs.”

Taehyung gets up, collecting his belongings. He looks over at Jimin, going to ask if he is free after the shift for some drinks.

“Hurry up!” Jungkook shouts.

“Fuck off!” Taehyung shouts back.

He looks over at Jimin, only to find his best friend talking to Namjoon. Taehyung notices the blush high on the omega's cheeks as he stares at Namjoon who is busy describing something to him. Jimin has a smile on his lips, starry eyes glued on the alpha.

Taehyung sighs.

Taehyung thinks he will just message later. He goes to the elevator, down to the parking. By the time he is driving the car in front of the precinct's door, Jungkook is there.

The alpha gets inside the car and winces, “shit, don't you use scent blockers in your car?! It stinks.”

Taehyung reaches to pinch Jungkook's cheek, “breathe through your mouth or walk to the crime scene.”

Jungkook shoves his hand away, “first of all, stop pinching my cheeks and second, just drive!”

Taehyung starts the car, wincing when Jungkook turns on the radio to full blast.

“You are so irritating,” Taehyung reaches to lower the volume.

Jungkook reaches to turn it up. Taehyung glares, turning it down again. Jungkook turns it up again.

“Get your hand off of my radio!” Taehyung grabs Jungkook's hand.

“The song is good!” Jungkook reaches again.

“I will crash the car, and it'll be your fault!” Taehyung takes a hold of both of Jungkook's hands, “stop it!”

Jungkook snorts, “did you just use your alpha voice on me?” he grins, “you know it doesn't work on me, right? I am an alpha too!”

Taehyung pinches Jungkook, “stop!”

They reach the destination doing just that. One turning the volume of the radio up, the other lowering it.

“Okay, act cool!” Taehyung says, putting on his glasses, “we are here!”

“I don't act cool,” Jungkook puts on his sunglasses, smirking at Taehyung, “I am cool!”

Taehyung gets out of the car, cursing Jungkook throughout the elevator ride. Jungkook enjoys it with a playful smirk. They both walk out to the scene. The police officers bow to them, guiding them inside to the counters and to talk to the manager, witnesses and the security.

While Taehyung talk to the witnesses, Jungkook investigates the scene. Taehyung looks over time to time, watching Jungkook in action. Whenever Jungkook catches him looking, he gives an exaggerated flying kiss to Taehyung. Taehyung looks away every time, face heating up.

“What did you get so far?” Taehyung comes up to Jungkook after talking to the manager, “the manager is still in shock, it seems.”

Jungkook points at the cash register, “the lock's not broken. Also, the robbers came in when the manager wasn't in the bank. I think he is involved.”

“He is pretty shaken up,” Taehyung frowns, “also, he will face the burn first-hand. The higher authorities will call him up for everything. I don't think he is involved.”

Jungkook tilts his head, “it's the detective speaking or the alpha speaking who hates me?”

“I don't hate you,” Taehyung taps his notebook on Jungkook's nose, “you are not that important that my judgement will be clouded because of you. I really think the manager is innocent.”

Jungkook smirks, “am I smelling a bet here?”

Taehyung arches a brow, “are you?”

“If the manager is innocent,” Jungkook holds out his hand, “I will buy you drinks this weekend. If he is not,” Jungkook wiggles his brows, “you will buy me the drinks, instead.”

Taehyung laughs, “sounds about right. Let's see, Jeon. You got yourself a deal.”

They shake hands.

🔍🔎

“Are you two working together or against each other?” Yoongi demands, “why do I have two report files of the same case on my desk?”

“I think the manager is working with the robbers,” Jungkook speaks from his desk, “but, lovely Tae here thinks he is innocent. Hence, two files.”

Yoongi shakes his head, “I love your silly bets as long as they are entertaining. Not when they are adding to my workload. You two write one report file. I refuse to go through more than one!”

“You are so lazy,” Jimin mutters.

“I heard you!” Yoongi points, “detective Park!”

“Good, I wasn't trying to be discreet,” Jimin shrugs.

Yoongi looks at Taehyung and Jungkook, “you two better solve this and send me one file. I am not reading two!”

“Why is Yoongi crying?” Jin comes out from the captain's chamber, “which one of you three did what now?”

“I am not crying!” Yoongi glares, “this is too much work-”

“What's the bed this time?” Namjoon asks, picking up the files, “you two made one, right?”

“Buying drinks,” Taehyung supplies.

“There's only one bet you two should do,” Hoseok says, “about getting laid.”

Taehyung slouches on the chair, looking at the captain's office with a forlorn expression, “I am trying, hyung. I am trying so hard.”

“Me too,” Jungkook sighs, “for so long.”

“No, I meant with each other,” Hoseok points between them, “fuck this tension out of each other.”

“As your boss, I will remind you of workplace boundaries,” Jin holds up his hands, “the HR department will be up my ass for words like these, Hoseok!”

“But, personally, we agree with Hoba,” Yoongi supplies, “you two need to get laid.”

“With each other,” Namjoon smirks.

“He stinks,” Jungkook offers, “I am not going anywhere near him.”

“Same,” Taehyung's nose twitches, “also, an alpha with another alpha is a rare pair.”

Jin smirks, “oh? You have thought about it, then?”

“Who is now not following the HR rules?” Hoseok arches a brow at Jin.

They all go silent when Minhyuk gets out of his office, looking around until he spots Taehyung.

“Detective Kim,” the captain says, walking up to Taehyung, “I read your last case file, I must say, it's impressive.”

Taehyung feels goosebumps on his skin as he stands up to bow.

“Thank you, sir,” Taehyung says.

Minhyuk smiles, “keep working like this, and soon you will join Kim and Jung as a senior detective.”

Taehyung bites back a grin, nodding. He looks over at Jungkook to smirk at him. To gloat.

But, Jungkook is already looking at him with a smile.

Taehyung stands up properly, looking at the captain, “your words mean a lot to me, sir. Thank you.”

Minhyuk nods, “I am glad to hear that. It's a captain's duty to keep the team's spirit high.”

“In that case, sir,” Taehyung grips his hands behind his back, sneaking a glance at Jungkook, “you can join the squad for a drink or two, if you would like. My treat.”

Minhyuk looks around, “you all gather for drinks?”

Jin winces, “uhh... every weekend, sir. Just for a few.”

“Okay, then,” Minhyuk gives a slow smile, “this weekend, send me the address, I will be there.”

“I can drive you there, sir, no worries,” Jungkook says from his desk, “I got you.”

Taehyung glares at the alpha and Jungkook winks at him.

When Minhyuk goes back to his cabin, Taehyung marches over to Jungkook's desk.

“I offered him to come to the bar!” He slams his hands down on the desk, “so, technically, I should be the one to drive him there!”

Jungkook leans back on his chair, “and, yet, I am doing it.”

Taehyung points a finger at Jungkook, “you can drive him there all you want, Jeon. I will drive him home, watch me!”

Jungkook makes a face, “what a sad brag. Could have easily said, 'I will take him home,' but nope.”

Taehyung fumbles when their friends start to laugh.

Jungkook gets up from his chair, ready to leave, “I will go and prove you wrong in that case now. So that, I can drive him to the bar, you buy him drinks and I dance with him, and then you drive him home as his driver would.”

Taehyung steps up to Jungkook, “is that a challenge?”

“Nope,” Jungkook fixes Taehyung's jacket, patting his chest with a cheeky smile, “it's a forecast. Unlike those weather ones, mine will actually happen.”

Taehyung grips Jungkook's wrists, “no. You'll lose. The case and him. Watch me ruin your plans, Jeon.”

Taehyung storms off.

🔎🔍

Taehyung watches Minhyuk come to their table with a beer in hand. He stands up with everyone else to welcome the captain.

“Please, sit down,” Minhyuk smiles, “we are not on duty right now. No need to be so formal.”

Taehyung scoots a little, “sir, sit here.”

Minhyuk follows.

“Should we wait for Jungkook?” Minhyuk looks at the entrance of the bar, “he is parking his car.”

“Please, no need,” Taehyung grins, “start with your drink, sir.”

Taehyung can smell Minhyuk from where he sits. The omega smells of cotton candy. Something so very sweet.

Taehyung leans his chin on his hand and stares at Minhyuk while he speaks. He can is talking about something with Jin, both of them laughing. Taehyung smiles too. Minhyuk looks so handsome when he smiles.

“Sorry, I am late.”

Taehyung makes a noise in his throat, looking over.

Jungkook makes him pause. The alpha is dressed in complete casual. Unlike Taehyung who put in so much effort to look good for Minhyuk.

Jungkook is just wearing a black T-shirt with his black, skinny jeans and that's it. Taehyung makes a face at the alpha.

Jungkook makes a face back. Taehyung rolls his eyes, looking back at Minhyuk with a dreamy sigh.

He has so much planned in his mind. A future with the captain as his omega. In their own house, with their pups... Taehyung swats himself out of that thought before he gets too lost.

“Jeon, you are not drinking,” Minhyuk arches a brow at Jungkook, “is everything alright?”

Jungkook chuckles, “yes, sir. I will just go and order something, Kim?” he looks at Taehyung with his mirthful eyes, “do you want something? Sex on the beach?”

Taehyung chokes, “no!”

Jungkook gets up, going to the bar to order himself a drink.

“Excuse me,” Taehyung smiles at Minhyuk, going after the alpha.

“Can you not embarrass me in front of him?!” Taehyung grips Jungkook's elbow, “that was so uncalled-for!”

Jungkook looks at him, “but, I enjoyed it!”

“Shut up!” Taehyung sits on the stool next to Jungkook's, “I am trying very hard to impress him. Don't ruin it, Jeon.”

Jungkook watches him, that infuriating smirk on his lips, “you looked like you were daydreaming back there.”

“I was,” Taehyung sighs, smiling sheepishly.

“I was thinking how good he would look, carrying my pups,” Taehyung murmurs, a gentle smile on his lips, “how we would have this big family, a house in the countryside. We would make such a great couple,” he looks at Jungkook to see Jungkook is watching him with a small smile...

“What?” Taehyung asks, “why are you smiling like that?”

Jungkook takes the offered beer from the bartender and shakes his head.

“You have literally planned your entire life with him, Kim, damn,” he gives Taehyung a teasing smile, “I didn't know you were this serious.”

“What, you are not?” Taehyung arches a brow, “this serious?”

“Oh, hell no,” Jungkook scoffs, looks over at Minhyuk, “I wanted to get laid, and I like him. But,” he looks at Taehyung, “I have no family planning. That's just not me.”

Taehyung stares, “you are so typical, Jeon.”

Jungkook laughs, “there's nothing typical in liking someone and wanting to get laid, Kim. It's not my fault that we all are not planning thirty years ahead of us,” he reaches to bop Taehyung's nose, getting up from his stool, “damn, if that's the case, I give up, Kim.”

“What do you mean, you give up?” Taehyung blinks.

Jungkook chuckles, warmth filling up his eyes when he looks at Taehyung.

“It means, I take my name out of the race,” Jungkook shakes his head, sipping his beer, “if you are planning that far, you clearly like him a lot.”

“I don't want to mess it up for you, then,” Jungkook looks at Minhyuk, “for just sex. You got this one, Kim,” he tips his bottle at Taehyung, “we can find something else to fight over.”

Taehyung snorts, getting up, “okay, what are you planning? To get my guards down? Hmm?”

“Do you really think I am stupid?” Taehyung arches a brow, “you want to say you are out of the race, so I get relaxed. Get my guards down and right then you swoop in to take him away. Is that it?”

Jungkook laughs, shaking his head, “damn, you think too much, Kim.”

“In our two years of friendship, have I ever lied to you?” Jungkook asks, “have I? I am saying the truth, Kim. I am taking my name out of this one.”

Taehyung watches Jungkook stroll over to the table, sitting down beside Jimin. Taehyung follows, sitting beside Minhyuk.

The entire evening goes by with Taehyung talking to Minhyuk while Jungkook stays out of their way. Taehyung sneaks glances at the younger, wondering what's Jungkook playing at, but Jungkook never acts out of the way. He is bantering with Yoongi, teasing Jimin, enjoying his time.

“Let me drive you home, sir,” Taehyung gets up when everyone is ready to leave, “you must be too tipsy to drive.”

Minhyuk nods in agreement, “thanks, Kim.”

Taehyung turns to Jungkook with a smirk. Jungkook rolls his eyes with a smile.

Taehyung takes Minhyuk home.
