"Jimin is from the small filthy village of Hadong. You can't even imagine that place. He is the son of a poor farmer, who has a lot of debt on his head. They weren't able to pay because of that the debtors almost claim their property. His father sold half of his land, but still, it wasn't enough. So he came to Busan for earnings because he has only a year left to pay all the debt."

Hazel kept speaking and everyone was listening to her, delivering her confidence to speak more...

So much secret for Jungkook. He just stared at Jimin, he didn't know what to say or what to do...

And Jimin, he only could hang his head and bear the situation. He was so ashamed and anxious. Hazel wasn't lying, Jungkook deserves to know the truth but she is insulting him. It hurt his pride.

"To his fortune, he found us. I don't know how he was able to delude us, especially you Jungkook!" Hazel moved to Jungkook and grabbed his arms lightly, acting like she is with him in his shock state.

"You are too innocent that is why he was able to mislead with your feelings, you were thinking of him as your good friend but his real motive is to suck off money from us as much as he can. Poor people like him play this kind of cheap trick. They are trained to follow money anyhow because they grow in the lack of money. And this locket, appearing from his bag, is the proof that how greedy these poor people can be."

"Shut up! You are babbling too much. I don't think Jimin has done this." Yoongi spoke while the others agreed. He wanted to say much more to Hazel but Jungkook was there.

Teardrops fell on the grey carpet. Jimin couldn't look up to see Jungkook. He was afraid he will see hate in his eyes. But he thought he will try to explain him.

"J-Jungkook! I accept that I am living here on another identity but believe me I didn't steal your locket."

"You didn't!!?? when you could sell it off for good money and pay your debt. It is my late grandmother's. It is precious."

Ignoring her, Jimin walked to Jungkook. He needs to be believed by Jungkook. He hadn't the courage to speak in front of him. His lips were quivering though he tried...

"I don't know how it was in my bag but believe me Jungkook!"

Hazel seized his arms, sending a message through her glare that whoever messes with her will end up in the wrong situation.

"Believe you! You fooled all of us all these while and you want us to believe you. Crying like this won't help. You will get punishment for this."

"I-I am_____" Jimin couldn't speak. He felt like his soul is burning in shame. His heart was aching so much because Jungkook didn't speak a word. He thought that it could only mean Jungkook is believing Hazel...

It felt like he couldn't breathe there. His head was becoming heavy. He ran out of the room.

"Stop him! He is running away baby!"  Hazel moved to follow Jimin but Jungkook grabbed her wrist...

"Stop it, Hazel!" Jungkook finally spoke. "My Jiminie Hyung is not running away! He is not a coward. He is not a thief. You must have mistaken!"

"Mistaken!!! Or Are you saying I am wrong? Do you think I lie? I found it in his bag!"

Meanwhile, Hoseok's phone rang... Taehyung called him because he knew  Jungkook will not receive his call.

"What happened? I saw Jimin crying!! I called him but he didn't stop! Who made him cry?" Taehyung barked on the phone...

Hoseok explained the locket incident.

Taehyung let out a short laugh... "I put that locket in that bag thinking it was Jungkook's bag. I hid it because I wanted to persecute him but I never thought it will end like this." He sighed... "I thought an hour ago Jungkook argued with me for Jimin but untrusted him just because of a locket. Hey Jungkook! I don't think your is an honest person!"
