Taehyung stared blankly at Jungkook and cleared his throat. "Because I'm not a killer, Jungkook. Besides, Lisa had the opportunity to kill Lee Joon in cold blood, but he survived. Obviously he's alive for a reason."

"I'm so glad you didn't. I can't lose you again Taehyung. You're the most important person in my life. If you're not still mad at me then I would like to go downstairs and talk to him." Taehyung took a second to stare through his boyfriend's soul before he began.

"You've known him so much longer than I have. I trust that you know what to say to him." Taehyung grinned slightly before taking Jungkook's hands. "I'm counting on you."

Jungkook forced himself to smile back at his boyfriend before heading out the door without him. He made his way downstairs before he heard incoherent voice. He shifted forward and found Lee Joon in front of him. "Who were you talking to?"

Lee Joon stared at Jungkook with astonishment, "I was talking to myself. I guess you can say I was yelling at myself." He motioned toward Jungkook and Jungkook quickly moved back. "Is Taehyung sleeping?"

"No, he's actually waiting for me upstairs. I came down here to talk to you, alone." The younger said which earned an inconspicuous grin from Lee Joon. "Tell me what you want Lee Joon." The elder felt sour inside, but he couldn't help but feel butterflies in his stomach every time Jungkook looked at him.

Lee Joon licked his lips and sighed. "Okay..." Lee Joon swallowed before continuing, "It was three days before my 18th birthday. I think it was on a Friday or Saturday, and it was cold that night so I decided to walk to my girlfriend's house. There was this guy yelling at his girlfriend about money so I continued to walk. The moment I passed them, he punched her which broke her nose. It all happened so fast, the next thing I knew I was punching him in the jaw. I don't remember how many times it was but I felt my fists break through his teeth. A bartender had already called the police earlier and they were there within minutes. The cops grabbed me and handcuffed me but I didn't know why. The woman had ran away and her boyfriend was on the ground, unresponsive." Lee Joon's face felt hot and wet as he realized he had cried.

Jungkook stared at him dumbfounded, not know how to respond but he continued..."Well, they arrested me. Later on that night the police told me I would be facing attempted murder charges. I told them everything that happened but they had no proof of that guy hitting that girl. I had no way out of it. Prison was worse. The day I stepped into prison was the day my girlfriend told me she never wanted to talk to me again. I tried committing suicide that night; but my cell mate caught me. He gave me a hug, then a kiss, and he told me that I mattered. When all I wanted, was to matter to someone. I finally had someone that cared about my life."

"So he was your boyfriend?" Jungkook questioned.

Lee Joon took a moment to answer before speaking again, "I wouldn't even call him that. He wasn't a good person to begin with. I wasn't even attracted to men at that time, I was still in love with my ex girlfriend. He lured me into oblivion to make me think that I was someone special. The next day he pretended like I didn't exist. At that moment I kind of felt like I didn't. That night I tried to end it all again, but...he stopped me. This time he was angry. He felt offended that I would rather die than spend the rest of my time with him. So I told him I would. That's the night he raped me." Lee Joon's hands were shaking as every memory consumed him. Jungkook wanted to open his mouth to speak but no words came out.

"He took my virginity and my pride. It felt like a living hell every single night for 2 years. After that they gave me a new cell mate. He became my best friend. A year after that, someone came to visit. After 3 years someone finally came to visit. It was the woman I'd gone to prison for. She told me her name was Lisa. She would come every week to speak with me. She apologized and even told me she had broken up with her boyfriend. He was still missing a couple of teeth and didn't pronounce words very well. She thanked me for being so brave and testified against him. Two years later I was released from prison and she let me live with her. About 4 months later I started acting gigs. I did about 2 every month which saved me enough money to get my own apartment. Lisa and I dated for about 3 years until she started cheating on me with a guy who gave her discounts on Gucci bags. That was the kickstart of my career. I had my first big break in 2014. I had the most money I'd ever had in my life; and a year after that I finally met you."

"W-We dated for 2 whole years and you never, not once, told me any of this! I'm the one who spent our entire relationship in confusion. Me thinking that I was the problem. Me thinking that I wasn't a good boyfriend to you. Why would you intentionally do that to me. I loved you!" Jungkook shouted and bit his lip with tears in his eyes. "You were only with me for revenge. Everything we shared meant nothing to you-"

"Wait, you can't say that! Remember all of those great times we had. I wouldn't spend so much money on you if I didn't love you." The elder responded.

"You think I couldn't spend all of that money on myself? I make more than you and always did. Your money doesn't make up for the damage you've done to Taehyung and I. Matter of fact, you never answered my question. What do you want?" Lee Joon's eyes widened. He was surprised Jungkook wasn't showing him and empathy. He'd never been so vulnerable to Jungkook before which made him regret ever telling him anything.

"I want you to come with me to the prison tomorrow."
