In a dimly lit courtroom, the air was tense as Taehyung stood at the defendant's table, facing judgment for the alleged murder of Kim Namjoon, the famous drug mafia. The judge sternly addressed the room.

"Order in the court. This trial is convened to determine the truth in the case of the People versus Kim Taehyung. Prosecution, present your case."

The prosecutor, a determined figure, spoke with conviction.

"Your Honor, we have evidence linking the accused to the crime scene. We will prove that Taehyung is responsible for the murder of Kim Namjoon."

Taehyung's defense attorney rose to counter the accusations.

"Your Honor, we maintain that our client is innocent. The evidence is circumstantial, and we will present an alternative perspective during this trial."

As witnesses testified and evidence unfolded, the tension heightened. Taehyung, maintaining composure, spoke when given the chance.

"I didn't harm Namjoon. We were on good terms and he was dating my brother; I would never do such a thing."

The prosecutor cross-examined Taehyung, questioning his every statement.

"Your relationship aside, the evidence suggests otherwise. How do you explain your presence at the crime scene?"

In the courtroom, the atmosphere was charged as Seokjin took the stand, ready to testify against his own brother, Taehyung, in a shocking turn of events.

"Mr. Seokjin, can you please share your account of the events leading to the alleged murder of Kim Namjoon?"

Seokjin hesitated, glancing at Taehyung, who looked at him with a mix of surprise and betrayal.

"Your Honor, I witnessed Taehyung arguing with Namjoon that night. He was furious and threatened him. It was a heated exchange."

Taehyung's defense attorney quickly objected.

"Your Honor, I must point out that this testimony contradicts previous statements. There is no evidence of such an argument."

Seokjin maintained his testimony, creating tension in the courtroom.

"Mr. Seokjin, can you clarify the nature of the argument? Did it escalate to violence?"

"Yes, Your Honor. Taehyung was visibly angry and threatened Namjoon. I wouldn't be surprised if things turned violent afterward."

Taehyung, bewildered, exchanged glances with his defense attorney. The prosecutor continued to exploit the fabricated testimony. As the trial progressed, the defense worked to expose the inconsistencies in Seokjin's statement. Cross-examination aimed to reveal any ulterior motives for his testimony.

"Mr. Seokjin, is it possible your relationship with Taehyung influenced your testimony?"

Seokjin hesitated, finally admitting the truth.

"I... I was pressured, and I thought it would help. I didn't want to believe my brother could be involved."

The revelation added a layer of complexity to the trial, exposing the strain on family ties amidst the grave accusations. The courtroom buzzed with whispers as the truth slowly unraveled. Taehyung, seated at the defendant's table, stared at his brother Seokjin with a mix of disbelief and hurt as the truth emerged. The weight of the false accusations hung heavily in the air, and Taehyung's eyes reflected a profound sense of betrayal. His defense attorney, seizing the opportunity, addressed the court.
