âYouâre hot when youâre mad.â

âi shouldnât even dignify that with a response,â he answers, taking a swig of the drink in his glass. how lucky he was, to run into the same drunk fool he had to drive home months ago in a different bar. talk about a nightmare. he shouldnât dignify donghaeâs advances with a response, but naturally, he has several.
âdo i need to explain to you how creepy it is that you were just asking to see my id to make sure iâm old enough to drink? iâm pretty sure there are at least 3 things illegal about what youâve said or done since you walked over here,â he goes on, and in truth, thatâs why heâs mad (and also hot, apparently.) because here comes this guy, most likely drunk again, and even more likely to ruin his entire night. it starts with an oh no, not you again, under jeonggukâs breath, and donghae claiming to be a police officer, asking for his id. he doesnât even have a badge.
this time, though, heâs wiser. he knows lee donghae, thanks to vanguard surveillance, some of which heâs had a large hand in conducting himself. (no one knows surveillance better than he does, after all.) now, he knows donghaeâs old job, and his new one, and his habits, and how foolish he is.
in truth, he doesnât know why rocket bothers when he seems so useless and unable to cause them harm, but he never outwardly questions her, and he can see to point in it. itâs fun, too-- like a game of cat and mouse in the stage where the cat already caught the mouse, but continues to toss it into the air while itâs somewhere between life and death just for kicks.
truthfully, he knows donghaeâs schedule quite well, thanks to his excellent surveillance, and he chose this spot specifically hoping to avoid him, but ah, how fickle humans are. itâs the only thing he can ever count on them for. he didnât intend to work tonight, but it seems the universe has other plans. heâll make the best of it, but not without having a little fun first.
âi canât believe you havenât gotten arrested yet, after what happened last time,â he frowns dramatically down at his glass, like heâs terribly traumatized by their last encounter that the other male was probably too drunk to remember now. in truth, he is, but itâs not like donghae did anything particularly awful, or at least it wouldnât be if it was anyone other than jeongguk.
