DON'T LET ME GO | PJM

Chapter 70

T/W: self-harm.

At this moment, she felt unwell. She knew that she was about to have another withdrawal but she didn't expect that it would be that frequent. It wasn't a good time to have it at this very critical moment. She was unable to focus, she couldn't even hear the question clearly.

She tried to hold herself together: "It was all Lee Taemin's doing. I accidentally heard his plan when he was talking on the phone, he..." Her sight started to get blurry and her head was in a lot of pain. She also had trouble breathing until she fell to the floor.

People were startled, it was a total mess.

Taemin came over and hugged Krystal. Her parents tried to push his hand away: "Do not touch her!"

The court announced they would take a break due to the unfortunate event that just happened.

Krystal was carried to the sofa at the meeting hall. She kept twitching and her breathing was heavy. She cried and bit her lips. She was helpless inside Taemin's embrace.

Everyone came over, including the judges. "What happened?"

"She's an addict." Taemin clutched both of her hands.

She glared at him: "I will not let you win!" She then tried to bite him.

Looking at this, the judge was startled:"Hurry up, take her!"

"No, she will get better soon." Taemin's voice was soft and caring.

"No need to pretend!" She kept glaring at him. "Go away, bastard!"

Finally Taemin let her go and she leaned on her father's embrace. Her presence was a waste in the court now as they wouldn't take account of her testimony. She was then sent to the hospital as the court continued.

"Your honor, first I want to apologize for this chaos." Taemin said. "As you can see my wife is an addict. She is not stable and frequently has an illusion. Sometimes what she thought she saw or heard, it was only in her head."

"Nonsense! It was you who drugged her!" Y/N couldn't control herself anymore, the images of Krystal's condition just now playing inside her head.

This man is simply not human.

Y/N shifted her gaze to Jimin, she felt heartbroken and terribly sad. She couldn't breathe properly.

Krystal couldn't be their witness anymore, they wouldn't have any more odds of success. But there was nothing she could do. The feeling of hurt, betrayed, and disappointment became one. Y/N never felt this helpless.

Jimin was also looking at her, he put his hand on the corner of his eyes and smiled. Y/N knew that he was telling her not to cry and he wanted to see her smiling.

Y/N tried hard to control herself, she took a deep breath and raised her head to look at him again. She smiled.

"Ms Song, do you have evidence for your accusation? You know, I can sue you for defamation." Taemin said, seemed ignorant toward Y/N. "Moreover, Krystal is my wife. How could I do something like that to my loved one? I am heartbroken to see her like that."

He paused, his eyes were full of mockery. "It's clear that you are the one who seized the opportunity and brought her here for your own advantages. You purposely turned the court into chaos. My wife is not suitable to testify in court. Your honor, what do you think?"

With Krystal's condition, it was indeed strange. She was acting crazy and collapsed in the middle of the trial, how could she want to be a witness? All the evidence against Taemin was a failure. In the end, the result was unsatisfactory. Even though they still had time, Krystal couldn't testify again.
