The Prosecutor’s Office’s Proposal Chapter 83

I returned to the branch, sent an official document requesting cooperation to the police station, and even spoke separately with the detective in charge. The detective didn’t understand why the suspect had suddenly changed at first, but only changed his mind after confirming the hardware store CCTV footage.

— I will put someone on surveillance immediately, Investigator.

“Thank you.”

After hanging up, there was no time to catch my breath. Since we had to arrest Han Sujin immediately, I attached the evidence, drafted an arrest warrant, and sent it to Prosecutor Joo.

I wanted to wrap up the Han Sujin case as quickly as possible. Only then could we begin the investigation into Koryo-in Mr. Kim, who was captured on the hardware store CCTV.

I was opening the investigation file to find Mr. Kim’s photo for the witness interrogation when the phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, it seemed to be the detective I had spoken with a moment ago.

“This is Investigator Lee Chaeha of the Criminal Division 1 at the Danhyeon Branch.”

— This is Detective Ma. Han Sujin hasn’t returned to her sister’s house since the Investigator saw her.

“Has she already fled?”

I felt Prosecutor Joo’s gaze at my question. It turned out we hadn’t found any evidence and had only given Han Sujin room to run away. That she would stop by the house at that exact timing. We were unlucky.

— For now, we will stake out overnight. Her phone is off for now, but I will keep checking if it turns on.

“Yes, please do so. Thank you for your hard work.”

As soon as I hung up, Prosecutor Joo asked.

“What does your gut say, Officer Lee?”

“I think she fled right then.”

“As expected….”

“Should we leave it to the police in case she returns?”

“Let’s go with your gut, Officer Lee.”

I could feel the eyes looking at me wavering. Certainly, the reaction of my heart was different from when Chief Song acknowledged me. It must be because I respect Joo Taeson and hold him in my heart.

“I will call again now to confirm the last point of origin for her cell phone. It’s under the jurisdiction of the Danhyeon Police Station, right?”

“Yes, it’s under Detective Ma’s jurisdiction.”

His long fingers grabbed the receiver immediately.

I fiddled with my blue thimble and looked at the desk calendar. Even though I knew full well that today was Wednesday, I wanted to confirm it once more. It was a day I had been waiting for for several days, but because the case was progressing busily, I was anxious that it might go awry.

Suddenly, I was reminded of the sight of him trying on my thimble on his finger in the empty prosecutor’s office. I wanted to ask him sometimes why he did that.

After six o’clock, Chief Song and Officer No got up from their seats one by one and said they were leaving. Prosecutor Joo seemed to be focused on work as usual, but he closed his files as soon as it hit seven o’clock.

“Get up.”

“Yes.”

I stood up from my seat and tidied up my desk. As he put on the coat he had hung up, he threw out a remark.

“Why are you waiting so obviously.”

“…Me?”

“You kept looking at the clock since the afternoon. Thanks to that, my insides only burned blacker.”

“Do your insides burn black, too, Prosecutor?”

“There were several times in the middle when I almost grabbed your hand and dragged you out.”

Perhaps he felt that the speed at which I was packing my bag and putting on my coat was slow, as Prosecutor Joo strode over and fastened the buttons for me.

“I can do it myself.”

“I’ll just do it.”

I looked down at his thick fingers fastening the buttons, then put on my bag with my cheeks already flushed.

Prosecutor Joo’s car was familiar by now. Going to his apartment was still a bit unfamiliar.

As soon as I entered his home, I put my bag down awkwardly and looked for the bathroom first.

“I’ll wash up and come out.”

“Should we wash together?”

“That’s a bit….”

When I refused, hesitating, he frowned for a moment, but soon pointed to the bedroom with his hand as if to tell me to hurry up and wash. It seemed he intended to use the bathroom in the hallway. It was my first time entering the bedroom without Prosecutor Joo, so I looked around awkwardly, took off my clothes, and went inside.

I hadn’t noticed it last weekend because I was distracted, but the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash all smelled like Prosecutor Joo. I coated my whole body in his scent and washed off the white foam under the pouring hot water. I dried my hair thoroughly and went out, but I was startled because Prosecutor Joo was already sitting on the bed wearing a bathrobe. I covered my body with the towel I was holding and reached for my clothes, but Prosecutor Joo stood up and snatched the shirt he was holding in his hand.

“Why put it on when you’re going to take it off anyway?”

“Just… I’m a little shy.”

“You’re slow at washing, too, Officer Lee. You work fast, but you aren’t fast at anything else.”

“Because I was drying my hair.”

“Why dry your hair so diligently when it’s going to be soaked with sweat anyway? Making someone anxious is also a talent.”

“Still….”

The sound of my heartbeat became so loud that the words I was about to let out got stuck in my throat. My ears and fingertips were all buzzing. I was shaking enough to worry that Prosecutor Joo might be able to feel every heartbeat if he touched my skin.

I was still clutching the towel tightly, but he didn’t take that away and started by taking off the bathrobe he had on his own body. Then, he embraced my lower back and slowly lowered his head. To narrow the height difference, I stood on my tiptoes. As we had done in the prosecutor’s office, I slowly opened my lips and welcomed him.

Prosecutor Joo made contact cautiously. He slowly licked the inside of my mouth and my lips, and with his hand, he stroked the back of my head.

I hadn’t had high expectations while coming home. I hadn’t even expected him to be affectionate. I just thought something similar to last weekend would happen, but the kiss was unexpectedly polite and sweet. Every time our sleek tongues touched and hot flesh burrowed inside, a groan escaped. Unlike in the prosecutor’s office, I liked that I could let out groans as I pleased here.

“Ah….”

“I’ll be gentle today. On my terms.”

Prosecutor Joo said, pressing his lips to my cheek and the tip of my nose.

“If there’s anything you don’t like, Officer Lee, tell me.”

“Then will you stop?”

“No, I’ll continue. But I’ll take it into consideration.”

I didn’t want to get my hopes up for no reason, but the ensuing kiss was extremely soft. Enough to melt my whole body warmly.

Even while sucking the tip of my tongue stickily, he soon pushed his tongue in as if to block my throat, a suffocating sensation that excited me. I lifted my tiptoes further to hang on, and received his wet tongue. The gap between our colliding lips was slimy with saliva.

“…Ung… hut….”

Unable to suppress my overflowing groans, Prosecutor Joo laid me down on the bed.

My back touched the soft mattress, and our lips, soaked in each other’s saliva, fell apart leaving a sticky thread. The hotly wet flesh moved to my neck. He sucked on spots on my neck, pressing down again with his teeth where the traces of last weekend remained. I struggled to push his solid shoulders away because I felt the barely faded marks would become vivid again, but he didn’t budge.

“Hut, Prosecutor… a mark will remain.”

“I know. That’s why I’m sucking there.”

“…Uung….”

“I want to suck on your whole body. You’re so pale, I feel like I need a mark to make it feel real.”

“What does that… Ah….”

Prosecutor Joo was absorbed in licking my body and leaving marks. His heavily erect penis kept hitting my thighs, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of loosening my back yet.

The lips that had been tormenting my neck moved to the inside of my forearm. Upon encountering the soft flesh, Prosecutor Joo didn’t exercise caution, but rather set his teeth. He chewed it bit by bit to leave a red mark, and held down and fixed my arm when I tried to pull it away due to the pain. I bit my fingertips to suppress the scream that was about to burst out on its own.

“Ah, it hurts… hut… please….”

I had hoped because he said he would be gentle, but as expected, my expectations were soon betrayed. Only after both forearms and my chest were a mess did he take away the finger I had been biting to endure my groans.

As I learned last time, I was weak in the fingers. The soft tip of his tongue moved in a circle along my fingerprints. With just that, my eyelids lowered on their own. The pleasure without pain that came after the painful caress broke me down too easily.

“Shall I bite your fingers, too?”

“Ah… ung….”

As I shook my head powerlessly, unable to even open my eyes properly and letting out groans, he sucked on my fingertips and chuckled. Every time his wet tongue passed between my fingers and his round tip was contained within his hot mouth, my head tilted back. The towel I had been holding had long since fallen off the bed.
