10. Major complications with lustful corrections

"The conclusion is that you're going along with this antics just because the Archer family wants you to," Jin says, releasing smoke from his cigarette. "They're the ones who are paying the prosecution a huge sum to take you to jail. Given the letters they found from your daughter in your room."

"Huh, I forgot the part where I was supposed to take responsibility for such nonsense."

Jin laughs and taps the cigar to remove the ash. In Adeline's drawers they found countless letters are sent about her attraction to Namjoon. Planning a thousand foolish things and saying she would even let herself be killed by him if necessary. Obviously that only added fuel to the fire. Jin notices that Namjoon is stressed out and truth be told, it's a facet that doesn't look good on him at all.

"Hey" Jin sits on the edge of the desk and grabs Namjoon by the face with his left hand. "Everything will be fine. Jimin already asked his father to send you a good lawyer and let's be honest... As soon as this becomes gossip, all the families defending you will stick their hands in the fire for you like they never needed to. Only idiots like the Archers would think you capable of such a heinous act."

"You see me incapable of killing?" asks Namjoon flirtatiously. Jin widens a mischievous smile.

"I think you incapable of sullying your hands with two irrelevant people like them. However, I think you crazy enough to kill for love" Jin tilts his head, shaking it with a shake and giving a chuckle at the end. "I imagine you so mad with love to kill a lover and have no one else breathe the same sacred air, that he is unable to leave your side."

"Shall I kill you then? So that you won't run away?"

"You say that as if I could go anywhere. Since I was ten years old, you've had a noose around my neck Namjoon." Jin kisses him on the lips and Namjoon tenderly reciprocates the gesture.

That's true. A lifetime with Jin and he is unable to exist without him around.

"It was him who had Henry killed."

"With what money? The asshole doesn't even have a place to drop dead."

"He did it himself. Look at his hands. He'll kill anyone."

Jungkook growls under his breath, grabs his things and leaves the room without paying attention to Jackson, who is puzzled by his attitude just calling out to him, without getting him to come back. The other students continue muttering without stopping the activity.

"See?"

"You should check his room."

"And his painting. I wouldn't put it past the red paint to be blood that he makes water to keep it from drying."

"Poor hibiscus bud, you're filling it with blood."

Hoseok furrows his eyebrows, following the one who blurted out the accusatory remark with his eyes. He notices that many people in the room stare at him. Muttering that he is to blame for Adaleine's death. He decides to focus back on the plant and nothing else.

"Maybe he raped the corpse."

"It's the only possible way to be with a woman."

"Are they stupid? He's gay. They should take him to jail just for that."

Hoseok shrinks a little in her seat. This is awful.

Jimin peeks out discreetly, seeing the fifteenth family who came to express their support for Namjoon. It's funny how the envoys are the children of the heads of the house. Being that clearly, Namjoon has the parents won over, but more importantly, those who will take over when the elders will die.
