The proceedings were long, boring and stressful. Jungkook went through everything with its flow. When he glanced over at Jun-Myeon mistakenly, the bastard alpha winked at him. Jungkook clenched his jaw and averted his face immediately. So far everything had been going just as Attorney Kim told him it would.

The prosecutor listed the criminal charges that were filed against Choi Jun-Myeon and then proceeded to call them one by one to the witness booth. He was a middle-aged man with sharp eyes and an aura that said no funny business.

"Kwan-ssi, could you walk us through the events that transpired in Hotel Seoul International on the night you were assaulted?" the prosecutor asked. His firm voice echoed around the silent courtroom.

Just say everything as you have stated in your statement. Don't add or change anything. Attorney Kim's instructions replayed in Jungkook's mind. The defense could use anything that comes out of your mouth in their favor. They'd try to ask you tricky questions and toy with your emotions. Don't fall into their trap. Think and answer every question carefully.

Kwan nodded. "I was one of the staff of the event organizing team that worked at the gala that took place in one of the hotel ballrooms that evening. We were cleaning up after the event and I was tasked to take out the trash when Mr. Choi approached me. His pheromones were too overwhelming for me and it made me dizzy. Before I could do anything else I fainted. Later, my friend told me about the rest of the events."

The prosecutor nodded. "Was it Jungkook-ssi who told you about it?"

"Yes, sir."

"That's all, Your Honour." He inclined his head.

Next it was Jeon Jungkook. Kwan caught his eye and nodded. Jungkook took his seat and composed himself.

"Jungkook-ssi, could you tell us what you witnessed that night?" The prosecutor asked.

"Sure. Kwan was supposed to meet me after work so we could leave together. We always send each other texts about our whereabouts when we take up late night shifts. That night there were no texts or calls from him and his things were still in the locker room. He wasn't in the hotel kitchen or the ballroom so I went looking for him," Jungkook replied. His voice was calm and collected. With Mr. Park right there, he didn't feel an ounce of nervousness. But he could feel Hak-Kun's hawk-like eyes on him the entire time. It made his skin crawl with awareness. "Then I saw this alpha forcefully dragging him away."
