The Cop Is Too Strong [EN]: Chapter 152

152. The Actress’s Ideal Type

“Wow, wow…!”

“What is she saying? Did I hear wrong? Play it again.”

Team Leader Kwak and Oh Geng picked at their ears, and the youngest member stood up and applauded.

Clap clap clap clap

“In the end, even celebrities recognize your true worth, Senior.”

Shin Hae-soo glanced at the TV when his name was mentioned, then looked away.

“Wow, that indifferent reaction! It’s even more annoying!”

“Actress Oh Se-yeon should have seen that…”

The Violent Crimes Unit members envied Hae-soo and made even more of a fuss, while Haru quietly replaced the chopsticks she had broken with a new pair.

Oh Geng stood a step away, alternating between looking at Haru and actress Oh Se-yeon on TV, before finally muttering while looking at Hae-soo.

“He has everything…”

That night, even though it was just a celebrity mentioning an ordinary person as their ideal type, quite a few articles poured out.

[Oh Se-yeon’s Man, Shin Hae-soo, Who Is He?]

[A Collection of Police Officer Shin Hae-soo’s Overzealous Arrests]

[Officer Shin Hae-soo, Doesn’t Regret Overzealous Arrests.]

[Oh Se-yeon, ‘I’m Waiting to Meet Mr. Shin Hae-soo.’]

[Oh Se-yeon’s Ideal Type Shin Hae-soo, What Kind of Police Officer Is He?]

┗But who is Shin Hae-soo?

┗Did Oh Se-yeon see him when she went to the police station? Isn’t this like saying Kim Cheol-soo, the guy next door, is my ideal type?

┗The person above is wrong. He’s a police officer who has become a hot topic for various reasons. Search for Officer Shin on YouTube, there are many articles about him. (link)

┗I roughly looked at it, and he looks damn scary

┗There shouldn’t be any pictures of his face?

┗I saw a side profile, so I said roughly

┗Damn, this beast is after our Oh Se-yeon… I’ll be patient

┗You must be patient because of his muscles

Taking this opportunity, the issue of Hae-soo’s overzealous arrests flared up again, but he didn’t care.

However, Haru’s expression didn’t ease.

In her eyes, Oh Se-yeon was objectively as beautiful as Ahn Seo-eun, the most beautiful person she had ever seen in reality, or even more so, which kept bothering her.

Swish

Haru was doing pull-ups on the exercise equipment at home, but she couldn’t concentrate and came down.

Hae-soo, who was lifting dumbbells next to her, asked.

“Why are you only doing twenty today?”

Haru rotated her shoulders twice and approached Hae-soo, asking abruptly.

“Isn’t the job of an actor not good?”

“Huh? Why suddenly? Why actors?”

“Even if they’re popular, most of them only shine for a moment and then disappear, and besides, even if it’s acting, they still do things like kissing other people, right?”

“Hmm… I guess so? They must be prepared for that when they become actors. Why? Do you want to become an actress?”

Haru shook her head.

“No, I don’t.”

“How strange.”

Hae-soo shook his head, watching Haru walk away without even finishing his set of pull-ups.

The next day, when he went to work and stopped by the main building, Hae-soo received envious and jealous glances from many male police officers.

“Who is this, the ideal type of the great actress Oh Se-yeon has arrived?”

“I really respect you, Hyung-nim [term of respect for an older male]. If things go well for you, please introduce me to an actress too.”

“You, you bad… my Oh Se-yeon-sama [sama is a Japanese honorific]!”

Hae-soo indifferently brushed it off.

When asked about their ideal type, many popular actors mention the names of famous foreign actors or their parents, to the point where it’s impossible to write articles linking them.

Hae-soo thought that Oh Se-yeon’s interview answer yesterday was part of that, and he was just grateful that there was more interest in the police, so he focused on his work.

“Our headquarters’ most popular man?! Hasn’t a reporter from the entertainment industry contacted you yet?”

“Oh, you’re right. A reporter should have contacted him. Isn’t he waiting at the entrance when you get off work?”

“That could be the case.”

“That’s a bit annoying…”

Hae-soo’s brow furrowed slightly.

If he were asked questions like what he thought of actress Oh Se-yeon, he would be criticized whether he said he liked her or disliked her, which was frustrating.

There were many things happening on the internet, but the Violent Crimes Unit’s routine remained unchanged. Fortunately or unfortunately, no reporters came.

As the day passed, and it was getting closer to quitting time.

Knock knock

“Yes, who is it? I’m not expecting anyone, come in.”

At Team Leader Kwak’s permission, the youngest member opened the door.

Squeak-

“Heup!”

The youngest member covered his mouth with one hand in surprise and stepped back.

At the youngest member’s reaction, the eyes of the unit members focused on the entrance. Soon, a person hidden by a large figure revealed themselves.

Long straight hair, snow-white skin, a face the size of a fist, large eyes, and a delicately gathered nose and lips.

A woman wearing a gray dress and a black jacket entered with sparkling eyes.

The unit members who recognized her covered their mouths and gasped as if they were racing.

“O, O, O, O!”

“Ms. Oh Se-yeon??!!”

Haru suddenly jumped up and blocked Hae-soo’s path.

Oh Se-yeon entered leisurely, giving a soft eye smile and opening her mouth.

“Hello. I’m sorry for suddenly coming here like this. I was waiting for you to get off work, but you didn’t come out.”

Oh Se-yeon had come to the Violent Crimes Unit with a manager. Judging by the police officers who followed, it seemed that the higher-ups had allowed her visit as part of a police station promotion.

Team Leader Kwak and Oh Geng made a fuss as if she had come to see them.

“Yes, yes, yes! I really enjoyed your drama!”

“P, please sit here!”

While Oh Geng was speaking, the youngest member quickly brought a chair and made a seat.

Oh Se-yeon didn’t sit down and gave her attention to Hae-soo. Hae-soo, who met her eyes, gave a small nod.

“Officer Shin Hae-soo, I’m sorry. I should have given you some notice in advance. You must have been very embarrassed because of me, right?”

“No, it’ll all die down in a week anyway.”

At Hae-soo’s indifferent words, Oh Se-yeon tilted her head and continued.

“Oh, I… I wasn’t just saying things.”

“Yes?”

Haru’s eyes, who was sitting in the corner, flashed.

She often watches games, dramas, and movies.

Before a confession, there is that unique atmosphere, tone, and mood.

Haru sensed it and was shooting laser beams at Oh Se-yeon from behind Hae-soo.

“I didn’t just pick Shin Hae-soo for no reason. I’m serious. That’s why I came here to ask you out on a date. How about a meal with me?”

Oh Geng, the youngest member, and the team leader’s mouths dropped open.

Her shy expression, captivating eyes, and rosy cheeks were enough to make any man fall for her.

However, Hae-soo’s answer was firm.

“I have no interest. Please go back.”

An answer that came with no hesitation or contemplation. Haru lowered her head deeply to hide the corners of her mouth rising and felt proud.

The other unit members were surprised by the firmness and couldn’t say anything because they were watching Haru’s reaction.

Oh Se-yeon, who quickly noticed the atmosphere of the headquarters with her unique female intuition, turned her head.

“Just once is enough. I won’t bother you after that. Okay?”

Oh Se-yeon asked, looking at Haru, not Hae-soo. That action subtly bothered Haru, but it also felt strange, like getting permission to borrow her boyfriend.

“I said I have no interest…”

“Senior Shin, please go and have a good time.”

“Huh?”

Haru answered, looking straight into Oh Se-yeon’s eyes. As if waiting for that permission, Team Leader Kwak, Oh Geng, and the youngest member poured out their words.

“Y, yes, Hae-soo, a great actress came all the way here, it’s not good to just send her back…”

“Go, go! Bring back an autograph and Melona [a popular Korean melon-flavored ice cream bar].”

“I’ll open the door for you!”

The youngest member quickly went and opened the door.

“Thank you. As expected, the police officers of Korea are so cool. Fighting! [a Korean expression of encouragement]”

Everyone was cooperative, and Oh Se-yeon smiled again, showering them with finger hearts. The two married men and the youngest member couldn’t handle the overflowing cuteness and melted.

* * *

Hae-soo was somehow pushed into having a meal with Oh Se-yeon. Since a popular actress had come to the police station in person, he also came along with the intention of asking her not to cause any more trouble in the future.

The meal was at a Western restaurant, and a private room was reserved.

As soon as they entered, the manager left, and only Oh Se-yeon and Hae-soo were left.

As soon as the manager left, Oh Se-yeon’s atmosphere changed drastically. Her eyes, full of charm, sparkled with intelligence, and she straightened her back more than before.

She looked at Hae-soo in a formal posture, placed one hand on her chest, and bowed slightly.

“You must have been very surprised that I suddenly came and asked you to have a meal, right? I apologize.”

“Yes.”

Oh Se-yeon let out a soft smile and took off the jacket she was wearing. Then, an off-shoulder dress that revealed her shoulders shone. The chest area was also deeply cut, creating a dizzying atmosphere.

She smiled subtly and watched Hae-soo’s reaction. However, Hae-soo only slowly turned his head, and there was no change in his eyes or voice. It was like he was a wooden statue.

“What is your relationship with that female detective from before…? Is she your girlfriend?”

“She is not my girlfriend.”

“Ah? Ah.”

She is not his girlfriend. But the surrounding unit members are watching the woman’s reaction. Oh Se-yeon concluded that it was a one-sided crush from the female detective.

Her eyes changed hazily, creating an even more seductive atmosphere.

Knock knock

“I’ll set up the meal for you.”

“Yes, do you like Western food, Hae-soo-ssi [ssi is a Korean honorific]?”

“I prefer Korean food to Western food, but I eat everything well.”

The conversation usually revolved around Oh Se-yeon’s questions. Hae-soo had no questions for her, and he had no intention of meeting her after today, so the conversation didn’t flow smoothly.

When an awkward silence flowed for a moment, she discovered Hae-soo’s hand and pointed at it with her index finger.

“Is that where you got hurt?”

Hae-soo covered the scratch he had gotten a few days ago when dealing with the Mujin gang with his other hand and answered.

“Yes, it’s okay.”

“Oh my… let me see.”

Oh Se-yeon narrowed her beautiful brows, grabbed Hae-soo’s hand, pulled it towards her, and gently stroked it.

“Hmm.”

Hae-soo immediately pulled his hand away.

Clear rejection. Oh Se-yeon, who had never been treated like this before, looked around awkwardly and said.

“Oh, it’s a shame. Would you like to have a drink with me?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Aing [aegyo – a cute, baby-like way of speaking], just one drink. Okay?”

She came and sat next to him, so her elbow touched Hae-soo’s arm. She looked up at Hae-soo and winked with one eye, showing off her charm.

When that didn’t work either, she slowly stroked Hae-soo’s arm tendons with her index finger.

Tuk swish-

Hae-soo immediately grabbed her slender wrist, pushed it aside, and said.

“The reason I accepted the invitation today is not only out of courtesy to Oh Se-yeon-ssi, but also to ask you not to mention me or suddenly come to see me in the future. I’ll be leaving now.”

When Hae-soo pulled out his chair to get up from his seat, Oh Se-yeon’s completely changed voice was heard.

“Ha, it’s going to be difficult if you come out like this.”

Hae-soo turned his body and looked at her. Her eyes changed along with her tone. It was like the eyes of a hunter looking at its prey.

She smiled bitterly, then grabbed the ends of her off-shoulder dress with both hands and said.

“You chose this. I didn’t want to use this method either.”

She pulled down her clothes, revealing her snow-white shoulders and underwear.

Hae-soo was flustered and turned his head. At the same time, her sharp scream rang out.

“Kyaaaaak!!”

Kugwang kwang!

Then, as if waiting, the door burst open, and several men rushed in.

Her manager, staff, and even the restaurant manager came in, taking care of Oh Se-yeon, while one took pictures and one reported to the police station.

* * *

Violent Crimes Unit interrogation room at another police station.

Hae-soo was arrested as a sexual assault suspect. The place where they had dinner happened to be in another area slightly outside of Gangjin City, so the jurisdiction was also different.

The detective who was facing him at the police station now was someone he had never met before.

He was just looking at Hae-soo as a beast who tried to pounce on a pure and innocent actress and was writing a biased report.

“…So, because the actress smiled, smiled, and treated you kindly, you fell into the delusion and tried to pounce on her, right? Huh?! How can a police officer do that?!”

Hae-soo silently stared at the detective without answering. The detective cleared his throat at Hae-soo’s cold gaze and sat back down.

“Oh Se-yeon-ssi is still outside, right.”

“That’s none of your business.”

“Please tell her that I have something to talk about with her one-on-one.”

“What kind of ridiculous request is that?”

“She will allow it.”

“Stop talking nonsense…”

Thump thump cheolkeok-

At that time, the interrogation room door opened, and Oh Se-yeon appeared. The detective team leader who followed behind gestured to the detective who was interrogating.

“Come out, the actress has accepted.”

“Ah? Yes? Oh, yes.”

Soon after, Hae-soo and Oh Se-yeon faced each other one-on-one. Hae-soo stared at her for a moment before opening his mouth.

“What are you lacking that you did this? This is a dangerous act that could ruin your career in an instant.”

“It’s not something a sexual assaulter should say.”

“It’s an incomprehensible act unless someone who can’t dare to disobey an order told you to do it.”

Oh Se-yeon crossed her arms and twisted her legs, sneering.

“Think whatever you want. In jail.”

Hae-soo let out a snort and continued.

“Since I’ve been attacked by company guys a few times lately and even received public opinion backlash, I naturally became suspicious of your date request.”

At Hae-soo’s words, Oh Se-yeon perked up her ears. Hae-soo raised his hand, showed her a small USB, then took the laptop in front of Oh Se-yeon, plugged in the USB, and turned it around to play the video.

It was a file recorded from Hae-soo’s point of view. Oh Se-yeon’s solo show was captured as it was.

“By now, the Violent Crimes Unit members are all watching this screen.”

Only then did her eyebrows twitch. Hae-soo shook the USB again and opened his mouth.

“Now, shall we start negotiating?”
