So Dam, overwhelmed with emotion, could only cry inconsolably. It was evident that she was in no condition to provide details about her attackers.

Yoongi didn't push her further. Instead, he removed his suit jacket and gently wrapped it around her trembling body. He immediately drove her to the hospital, where her desperate attempts at self-harm continued. So Dam, at just twenty years old, had experienced a traumatic ordeal, and it was clear that she was struggling to cope.

As he watched his sister's pain, Yoongi couldn't help but despise himself for being unable to exact revenge on those who had harmed her.

After a day of struggling, So Dam finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell asleep. Yoongi gently held her wrist, examining the faint marks, even though they weren't severe. He despised his own powerlessness, clenching his fists in frustration.

His mind raced, contemplating who might be the mastermind behind this heinous act. Taemin had to be aware that Krystal's father had been taken away. He should have questioned Yoongi or at least made contact, but for an entire day, there had been nothing from him.

Taemin had chosen a different method to exact his punishment.

Yoongi stepped out into the corridor, dialed Taemin's number, and confronted him: "Lee Taemin, did you arrange for someone to assault my sister?"

Taemin's voice remained eerily calm on the other end: "I merely taught you a lesson, Min Yoongi. I have a deep disdain for those who betray me. I gave you a chance, but it seems you failed to learn your lesson. Don't blame me for being merciless. Two years ago, I entrusted you with sending Y/N to the hotel, but you brought her home, clearly doing nothing to her. You deceived me. Min Yoongi, I never investigated you because I valued the loyalty you showed me over the years. Do you think I'm unaware of your actions? Now you intentionally allowed my wife's father to escape, letting Kim Taehyung take him away. Do you think I'm a fool? As for what happened to your sister, it's all on you. You should blame yourself!"

"Lee Taemin, if I've done something wrong, you should punish me directly. Why harm my family members? She's my only relative," Yoongi shouted into the phone.

Taemin's cold response cut through the line, "As long as I hurt the ones you love the most, you'll carry that pain with you always."

The call ended abruptly, leaving Yoongi to gaze at his sister. She was young, yet she had already endured such a traumatic experience. If he had arrived at the hotel any later, he might have lost her.

He gently stroked her face and whispered, "So Dam, don't worry. I'll seek justice for you. I won't let him get away with this."

Y/N spent the entire day at the hospital, supporting Krystal. By the time she returned home, it was already late at night, and Jimin was already there.

She first went to check on Joon Min in his room before heading to her own. Jimin was seated on the sofa, engrossed in his laptop, completely unaware of Y/N's presence.

Wanting to surprise him, Y/N tiptoed quietly. Just as she was about to startle him, he suddenly pulled her close.

Y/N was momentarily taken aback and teased, "You knew I was home?"

Jimin chuckled, "Did pregnancy make you stupid? You think you can sneak up on me with those light steps?"

"I'm carrying your child, Jimin. You can't just call me stupid," Y/N playfully pouted. "So, what are you looking at?"

Jimin moved the laptop in front of her, revealing that he was reading the latest trending news.

Y/N carefully read the news and then looked at Jimin. "Jeon Wonwoo is caught?"

Jimin nodded. "Yes, he got caught for swindling."

Y/N shook her head in amazement. "He's always been so cunning. It's surprising that he got caught this time."

"It's thanks to Jeon Jungkook and Lisa," Jimin explained, wrapping his arms around her. "Lisa is getting ready to marry Jungkook, so she's determined to eliminate any threats. Today happened because Jeon Wonwoo was too careless. He forgot that Lisa had her eyes on him all along. He walked right into her trap. If he hadn't been so greedy, he might have escaped."

Y/N nodded, her concern for Krystal evident. "Lisa is amazing, and I'm sure she'll be happy marrying Jungkook," she said. "But I can't help but worry about Krystal."

She was still pregnant, and sooner or later, it would become known. Her mother wanted her to recover before considering an abortion, but if Taemin found out, it could lead to trouble. Krystal and Taehyung had already been through so much, and Y/N hoped they could finally find some peace.

Y/N knew that Krystal had feelings for Taehyung and wished for their happiness. Jimin stroked her head, and she listened intently as he continued, "Do you remember when I told you that Grandma had a safety box placed abroad? There are many things inside it. Two days ago, I had someone bring it home, and I found evidence of Yoona and Park Jae Kyung's relationship in it. I also found Grandma's diary. She used to love writing in it, but as she got older, her eyesight worsened, so she stopped."

Y/N's interest was piqued. "What did you find in her diary?"

Y/N nodded, understanding the context. "Taemin believed that during the Lee family's downfall, Grandma and Grandpa just watched without lifting a finger to help, as if they were indifferent to their suffering and allowed the Lee family to crumble, right?"

"Yes," Y/N replied, "I've heard him say that many times."

Jimin continued, "Taemin thought that the Park family had snatched away the Lee company's project. However, when I read Grandma's diary, I found out that the project was unreliable, so she decided to stop it. The Lee family was already suffering greatly, and if they had accepted the project, it would have made their situation even worse. But Taemin's father was stubborn, so Grandma resorted to her last method..."

Y/N interjected, "Grandma took over the project. But wouldn't that have caused damage to the Park family as well?"

Jimin clarified, "The damage to the Park family wasn't as severe because their foundation was strong. Although there was a problem for a short period, it could be resolved in no time. It wasn't a significant blow to the Park family, but for the Lee family, it would have been catastrophic. But, Taemin's father didn't appreciate Grandma and Grandpa's sacrifice. He shared his son's stubbornness and delusion, insisting that he was in the right."

Y/N inquired, "Did you find any evidence?"

Jimin responded, "I will. I'm currently investigating it."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Y/N opened it and found Auntie Wang standing there. "Mr., Mrs., there's a guest downstairs. He said he is Mr. Min."

"Min Yoongi?" Y/N and Jimin exchanged surprised glances. Why would Yoongi be looking for them at this late hour?
