Summary: In which the mysterious legendary thief encounters with the constabulary's doctor, their fate might be tied up together.
Minho’s blood flew down for him underneath his tanned skin, like when he found the beautiful male’s apartment, an eager feeling came rushing in his veins, he was really excited to see the young doctor again.
Of course, delivering the officers’ orders gave me access to find his address, that was only a piece of cake.
Minho licked his bottom lip, a wicked, yet satisfied smirk pounding onto the surface, as he looked away at another full moon, accompanied by a black cat purring in the cold night at his residence’s balcony. The soft skin against his lips was everything Minho wished to ravish the innocent, purity thoroughly.
A delicious cake indeed.

A loud notice of small alarm clock behind his double-sized bed brought Taemin back from his deep sleep, cracking open one of his slanted eyes as the sunshine greeted him through the pastel curtain. Taemin groaned sluggishly, feeling his six hours sleep wasn’t enough to cover his fatigue since past two days. He lazily dragged his feet that was almost giving away in to the bathroom and slowly removed the bottom and loose shirt away from his slender body. He rotated the tap to get the warm water, getting in the morning shower. Taemin’s pleased moans escaped from his pink lips followed with a soft sigh when the water poured onto his body, soaking every little dirty particles off. As he got done, Taemin wrapped his mid with a dry towel and grabbed another one to take care of his dampen hair. He took out a short-sleeved, tight-fitted black shirt from Dsquarded and a pair of black suit pants under Alexander Wang’s brand. He chose coffee brown ankle boots with shoestring lacing up, raven-black colors on the snout and rear from Givency. He didn’t forget to put on a brown belt of Burberry Prorsum with an accent of artificial stone. As the bag he took up a Björn Borg's black briefcase before he assumed that he was more than ready to kick off his job again today.
Taemin cleared his lump blocked throat as the sign of nervousness; but then until he saw the reflection of his balcony on the mirror, his cheeks started to blush a dark red tint, recalling what happened last night. The doctor shook his head vigorously dispelling the inveterate memory but it was only a little effort because his stifled breath indicated the fluttering heart inside the cafe of his ribs. But the doctor slapped himself mentally under his breath, grumbling softly. Taemin wasn’t even ready to face the fellow co-workers in the constabulary; how would he be supposedly to say?
~*~
At the end, Taemin didn’t dare to say anything to anyone, even to his bestfriend in the constabulary, Consulter Kim Kibum or well-known also as Consulter Key.
The said male eyed the doctor suspiciously, from head to toe, as if there had been a lie leaving its trace on the one part of Taemin’s small frame. “ Is this what I get? Your flushed cheeks in the morning and tired looks? Thank God your sense of fashion is nice.”
It wasn’t cool when the guy with diva personality spared his suffocated morning (because he recalled the soft kiss from the legendary thief) because of his clothes. Taemin disagreed that, because it meant only one; that Key was already suspecting him.
“ Key, I am not ready to bear your nags today, okay? I am just tired of my pilling up works. I autopsied a victim of spusal violance yesterday, and it was more than enough," Taemin emphasized deliberately.
Key wiggled his brown brow, “ That’s weird. I don’t remember you are a phobia of corpse or blood. You are a doctor, after all.”
Shit.
“ No, Key. I mean, I felt sorry towards the wife.”
Key still shot a disbelief look.
“ I am letting you off today,” he scoffed, “ Not that I am big-hearted enough to do this again next time.”
Taemin smiled innocently, the long eyelashes fluttering on that eyesmile. “ You are the best, Key. And I love your Noir&Blanc blazer. Not covering half part of your upper arm, sexy indeed.”
Key smirked.
“ I am the one who taught you fashion, my dear.”
~*~
Taemin ditched a stack of crime reports on his table and he sighed deeply while sipping a pitch of lemon tea, more and more victims to be autopsied, he already missed his job escorting the chief and fellows in case if anyone gets injured; there was no any special motive, that’s all.
Isn’t that because you want to see Earl?
Taemin almost choked on his drink.
The young doctor arched his back, the left hand creeping to grab some tissues and he wiped away the drink’s remnant below his lips.
Lips..
That pair of soft lips placing on his forehead, it felt warm. So right, so real.
But again, another sigh was made throughout the day, this time it wasn’t because he was tired. Taemin knew he could not let any officer to disclose the encounter; a part of his heart clamped down himself from doing that. Taemin wanted to know more about Earl, better it was because he had stolen Taemin’s attention away or he looked really different from other thieves. A legendary thief like Earl would not have told the constabulary of his future action through email - yes, he fucking tells everybody in the constabulary about his plan stealing this or that , somehow his IP address can not be tracked, that crafty fox - so literally, everything about Earl in Taemin’s eyes was different.
“ I am looking forward to our next encounter.”
Taemin blushed, again.
There, a small knock finally brought Taemin’s sense back to the reality, after he contemplated some good shit in his head.
“ Is this Doctor Lee’s office room? I am here delivering Chief Yang’s order, a cup of mochachino for all officers!”
Taemin widened his eyes in surprise, he had heard about Chief Yang’s kindness - often giving the constables some treats, but he didn’t expect to get one too this fast, considering it was only his third day in the constabulary. Taemin quickly yelled, “ Come in!”
A sound of sliding door startled Taemin a bit, revealing a figure of tall man in fully-dressed uniform and huge spectacles, the delivery man removed his cap and showed the messy hair were improperly tied up, probably it was because he took off the cap so abruptly. He grinned, a glimpse of his perfect teeth matched really well with the strong feature on his face. Those big eyes shot a friendly gaze looking as gentle as his deep voice.
“ Good afternoon, Doctor Lee. New here?”
Taemin frowned confusedly, how did this guy know?
The delivery man shot up another grin and he scooted over slowly, settling on the mochachino on Taemin’s desk. “ I come here often, Chief Yang always orders snacks and beverages from our coffee shop, so I adequately know the officers here,” he explained, “ then again I just figured out a new guy in the constabulary. Doctor Lee, I believe. Chief Yang wrote down here.” A small piece of note was shown to Taemin so the doctor nodded, thanking the chief because he desperately needed something to keep himself awake.. and sane.
“ So, here’s the mochachino, Doctor. I hope you’ll like it,” he flashed a smile, “ I am the delivery man from this constabulary’s number one coffee shop, Black Beans, and you gotta like the taste. My name is Minho.”
Taemin chuckled at the delivery man’s words, there seemed a sheer of confidence behind them, and Taemin liked the way Minho calmly stated his introduction.
“ I am Lee Taemin, the new doctor in this constabulary,” Taemin replied gently, his soft smile following the sentence, “ Nice to meet you, Minho. You seem older than me.”
Minho smiled. “ I am twenty four this year.”
“ So you are two years older than me.”
Minho’s eyes bugged out, as if they were about to be dislodged from their place. “ Are you joking? A doctor in such young age? You are awesome, Doctor!”
Taemin felt his cheeks becoming warm and redder, if anything he didn’t wish Minho to notice it. “ Thank you.” And he wasn’t gonna to lie, his brilliant brain and huge achievement in the college had conferred him a quick job vacancy in the constabulary as the main doctor.
Minho laughed upon the younger male’s adorable shyness and he put the cap on his head again. “ Well, if there’s anything you want from us, don’t be hesitant to call us anytime you want. Have a good day, Doctor Lee!”
Taemin gave replied with a small nod and a hint of smile, before the delivery man finally made his way out of the room. Taemin took up the cardboard glass and shifted in closer to his lips, sipping the mochachino carefully, afraid if the drink was still hot on his tongue.
But then Taemin blinked in awe, that Minho guy wasn’t joking. This mochachino tastes really good.
Taemin laughed heartily. He was definitely planning to order something from him, next time.
~*~
Minho just went back from the constabulary’s office with a very huge smile adorning his face, causing Jinki to frown and massage the bridge of his nose. “ You are acting like a weirdo, or some freaks. What on earth are you smiling about?”
The asked male ignorantly passed his cap so it slid away on the sleek buffet. “ I just met someone beautiful earlier.”
“ Oh really? On your way to or from constabulary?”
“ In the constabulary.”
Jinki’s eyes were almost as big as Minho now, nonetheless he smirked anyway, looking at the dongsaeng teasingly. “ You can’t make your love to trouble you, ‘kay? More than that, this person is from the constabulary.”
Minho shot up a glare and cunning smirk appeared after. “ Well, I know what I am doing now, Hyung. He’s too beautiful to describe, be it simplest words or elaborate sentence. Quit preaching me and start looking for a crush, you might need one. I am kind of bored doing same activity in every night, you see.”
Jinki sighed, but that was because he had to agree, be it chicken or his night job, he might have to start looking one. He was on the age of dating someone, yet no one had captured his attention.
“ I just have to remind you,” Jinki firmly said, “ Boss said we need to be really careful. You can’t - i mean, there’s still plenty time to love someone and date him, make sure to watch over your moves even if it’s only a single thing to do. This is our job, passed down heraditary to the new generation.”
That sort of flicked Minho’s mind a little because the taller male let out a breathy grunt as he leaned against the cold surface of bricked wall.
Jinki moved over to his laptop and opened quickly , revealing a screen with full of sentences and paragraphs in it. “ See this.”
A swish of tedium slipped off Minho’s parted lips as he walked away towards Jinki, peeking at the screen. “ What’s this again?”
White Diamond by Sotheby.
“ It costs $23 millions, this is your next job.”
The younger male smirked, half of his brain told him to flare an exciting ‘performance’ in front of the constabulary, the remnant half cheered him that, he would meet the beautiful doctor again. How excited he was, exactly anticipating for the last reason.
Minho untied his hairs, letting the long black locks flutter with the wind, as his tongue brushed the upper lip mischeviously.
“ This is gonna be fun.”
Jinki flicked his bangs, could not stop the same joyness flushing along with his blood, must be Minho affecting me.
And then a sound of bell chiming made them flash a friendly smile across their face quickly, turning their head away from the screen to greet the customer.
“ Welcome to our coffee shop, Sir! What would you like something to drink?”
How they could not wait for the night to come really fast.
Still want to see Taekey's outfits and the diamond?
