A SEMI-REALISTIC SHORT STORY
Kim Taehyung, a devoted and loving family man whose strength, reliability, and protective nature make him the cornerstone of his household. His deep love for Jungkook, coupled with his unwavering dedication to his family...
With the sun calming the day in the chilly winter spreading its charming golden hue, blending with the barely visible fog in the environment, it was the moment when commander general Kim Taehyung reached the entry gate of the Police station. The warmth he shared with his mate was somewhat fading away into an unidentified abyss of stress, and the only thing that stayed was the coldness of the ongoing case which seems like a puzzle.
The vehicle pulled into the station's parking lot, and he took a moment to collect his wandering thoughts before being in action. The Alpha was aware about the day ahead, which would be very demanding, but the memory of Jungkook's beautiful yet peaceful smile and their peaceful morning together gave him relief and strength in the hopeless situation. He will face whatever that comes into his way with determination and resolve, why? Because he knows that there's someone waiting for him at home to come back...
He can't let him down, can he?
With a final and deep breath, the commander stepped out of the car, walking towards the station, ready to tackle the day's challenges head-on.
But the condition of station was something the Alpha didn't expect with an ongoing case of serial murders. He was, surprisingly, struck by an unusual sense of calm as soon as he entered his workplace. The usual hum of activity was present, still there was a relaxed air filling the atmosphere, that seemed out of place given the gravity of their state of being. Officers chatted in low tones, some even smiled as they worked through their tasks. It was a stark contrast to the tension he had left behind the previous evening.
'What happened?'
Taehyung's brow furrowed as he made his way through the station navigating the unusual clam aura. He approached his office, passing by Officer Hoseok, who was leaning casually against a desk, chatting with Yoongi. Both men looked up and greeted him with a salute with their expressions being more relaxed than he had seen in all those days.
"Morning, Commander," Hoseok said, his voice was almost cheerful.
"Morning," Taehyung replied but his tone was more cautious. "What's going on? I mean everyone seems... unusually relaxed."
Yoongi exchanged a glance with Hoseok before stepping forward, "Commander, we were also surprised with the sudden relaxation we felt but the thing is our serial killer hasn't made any moves since yesterday. It's like they never really existed, sir..."
Taehyung's eyes narrowed, "Vanished? How can that be?"
"It's been quiet," Yoongi continued with the known firmness the Omega has, "No new leads, no suspicious activity. It's like the killer just... stopped or maybe vanished"
