Jungkook:Even though you're not guilty and got away with it I still believe you've your hand in it.

Taehyung:I can't change your mind,but the truth is never hidden time shall reveal it all to you *he smiles with an unreadable look*

Taehyung pov: He was leaving the court,he glanced back and to no surprise Jungkook's figure slowly dispeared into the crowd making his way towards exist,he left a sigh which was held by him,he shouldn't have he knew the judgement he knew he was not guilty but he wasn't waiting to be proven innocent in the eyes of the judge,media or any friends or colleagues, in the court,he wanted to be innocent in those starry, galaxy like round eyes which hold so much purity, innocence yet during times it had a swift to a fierce powerful and determined look which will really leave anyone stunned (except if they're truly blind to admire his beauty) it wasn't his eyes only it was his snow like white skin colour his cute button nose which scrunches itself when the later is distressed,it was his cut on his face which he got during childhood fighting his brother,his hourglass figure but that's only the physical appearance don't get started on his personal charecteristic cause someone (YK who) could write books and it won't be enough,every breath,every blink take and every word spoken by those pink and plump lips with the angelic,siren like hypnotic voice is eternal and admirable that someone had their intial begin from J and end with k yes that some is none other than Jeon Jungkook,whom the strong hearted Kim Taehyung fell head over hills for but how and why? We need to go a while back Namjoon got missing

2 years earlier (when Taehyung joined as the secretary )

A/n pov:A big sigh leaving the boys mouth,he was tired,from work you may assume,partial truth yes but the emotions were the thing that overwhelmed him with,he was skinny,not skin and bones exactly but he was looking young for a 26 year old boy,yes he shouldn't even be called a boy at this point of life but he looked young and tired,he was handsome no lie in it but some emotional weight made him this tired,this guy was Taehyung,Kim Taehyung in his oh sorry his cousin brother Namjoon's office,which once belonged to his father and he dreamed to be like his father,a great CEO wished to make this company the most successful in Korea,as he was a kid he dreamed big so he was determined to make it to top 1 in the world and not only in korea, he had a older half brother who was in line to become the CEO too but he as a foolish child said when he will become the CEO he will make Chanyeol hyung his secretary, Chanyeol felt so embarrassed cause he said it infront of his friends whom he had gladly braged that he Kim Chanyeol will become the next CEO of Kim industries,but even though he was older he was brother from another father,he wasn't even Kim by blood he was Park and not even the Park Jimin's bloodline Park, he just knew his blood father was a park nor his name nor his face but his mother often told him that he is the exact replica of his blood father and he hated it,he hated how everyday he was reminded he wasn't a Kim everyday that Taehyung would become the CEO and he will become his shadow,he cursed Taehyung that he will feel the same one day, feeling alien in a place he so had to endure who knew that day would come true in future,well Taehyung really went by avoiding this part of his life for years until a sudden day his uncle died in a accident, making Namjoon the chairman too, making him the highest share owner in the company making his decision superior of all and thus even to Taehyung's unlikeless he was requested to be Namjoon's secretary he avoided it for a whole year,he left Min industries a while back reasons unknown but presumed something related to Maya,she left Korea and maybe that made Taehyung less intrested in work cause Maya worked for Min.co too infact she was in a more recognisable post,but that's past which is complicated but was Taehyung's present less complicated, answer no,Future probably a bigger No,and he started working in a library like from a big industry to library? That's just too much,Namjoon wanted to ask questions but he knew deep down that he wouldn't get answer he wasn't even eligible to ask questions he lost it when he couldn't stop that horrific incident from happening he was a kid too alright? He didn't know how to feel when your cousin who's father was declared criminal and hung himself out of shame,who's mother abandoned him and left overseas with her first born son Chanyeol,Namjoon was never close to Taehyung,his parents and taehyung's were on bitter terms like real bitter so after attending Taehyung's baby shower he didn't meet him until today,the eyes of those kid held no emotion,it was a dead one,he looked scary and let's say pitiful he shouldnt be looking like that a kid at the age 12 shouldn't look like that,his eyes either brew too intense emotions which couldn't be read or a void like nothingness, Namjoon was warned by his father that,this Taehyung boy would be no better than his father,he remember the day exactly but that's held for later it was one of the worst day probably in Taehyung's life why one of the worst and not just the worst? Because a much horrific experience Taehyung suffered was after he was given under care of Taehyung's so called uncle he treated Taehyung worse than a servant's son he treated him like he was untouchable, like he was a monster a little mistake was worth a severe punishment the boy grew frightened,scared and vulnerable eating leftovers,while going school he got bullied just because his father was declared to be a criminal he cried out he isn't a criminal he's not guilty but he was nor a lawyer nor a detective can he deduce it declare such thing?,the once bulby and cheerful Taehyung was hung along his father that day,but the kid in him died when he was 14,that day killed whatsoever kid was in him,he became something,he aged 10 years that day he was ruined and Namjoon couldn't save him he hadn't tried but he could've,once this news reached the ears of the boy named Min Yoongi who once was Namjoon's friend,well he met Taehyung first but after his uncle got the custody he was shifted to a local school never to be met again as their families forbid it just cause his father was proven guilty,but let me ask you did Taehyung help his father in the fraud if it's true or not that's another topic Yoongi wondered the same question but he couldn't argue with his parents so he was left in a delema, though he met with Taehyung every chance he could acquire and his state devastated him, though Namjoon's father tried his best to give people a show they were taking good care of him but it was visible too visible that the Kim Taehyung before 12 years old was different from the present,he was happy,bubbly and carefree without the worry of rhe world like a child should be,but this Taehyung,he was stressed at a age where kids should be carefree he sunked himself in studies as a escape he wasn't really allowed to play but let's Namjoon's kindness or pity he said he can play with his old toys cause he grew up already,just imagine going from a boy who didn't repeat a meal twice a week, bought toys everyday lived in a mansion as big as a small mall could get everything he desired or touched, seeing diamonds,golds or platinum wasn't out of ordinary,his father gifted him a star at age 6 just cause little Taehyung had grown interest for astronomy but he wasn't particularly luxury deprived no he wasn't a adult who couldn't bare being deprived from luxury to be specific he was affection deprived, hardships don't seem so hard when one is dependent on people so the hardships are shared,he couldn't share, cry or play like a child almost forbidden to be a child eating leftovers and when left none given servents porridge,Taehyung when he met Yoongi gave him the biggest smile and said "atleast I am being fed and have a roof above my head,that's mostly what matters for humans right?" Yoongi become at loss of words that child grew significantly mentally he was slowly losing himself if not completely,well situation was worse for Jimin as he wasn't even allowed to go to Namjoon's house cause his father forbade any connection with Kims after Taehyung's father was guilty.Today was his last straw he wouldn't bare it no more,he broke friendship with namjoon that night,oh wait? Why was Taehyung wondering about his childhood trauma zooning out again? Oh right he was in his cousin brother's office he avoided it like a plague after that suttern night he was able to avoid his uncle and Namjoon especially this office building this brought sweet and mostly sour memories, crushed dreams and slow torture he wanted to run away from this he definitely did he was successful at the age of 15 after that incident Namjoon tried his best to be kind and make Taehyung warm but he was 3 years too late the damage was done and he couldn't do much but let Taehyung spend more time with the Mins well at that time of life Taehyung accepted his faith and cruelness of the world but he got a little affection from the Mins which he was dearly thankful for,he tried his best return their gratitude but much cannot be done by 15 year old Mrs min suggested him to become a better person but he was already academically gifted had higher IQ than other kids and could probably be beter in knowledge than some adults,it was impressive like really impressive,he was doing just fine if not for the recent incidents in his life life past few years well he left min.co 1.5 years ago why well that's a little complicated but he was still living just fine no like really he was lying low went to daegu attended his great grandmother's funeral why was she still alive again? Well don't get him wrong she was a 109 years old so he was just at a lost of words when he got their,he even got a glimpse of Chanyeol,he thought why he's here and then got the answer immediately "property" he stopped caring about any leftover property after most of his father's possessions were taken away, sold or just under a never ending investigation,he didn't wanted ownership over that property which was claimed by the women in relationship his mother and guy who was somehow his brother they abandoned him he didn't do anything but he was discarded like junk oh by the way he was able to find some documents which proved that his mansion owned by his father was bought by money earned and not the so called fraud money so he got that house in his name cause it was registered for him,his so called mother and brother got furious but he had the right to be selfish too right? He knew they would probably sell this house and flee to overseas again cause they saw it as a property not a home unlike him,he glanced at them and sighed,okay it was fun he spent good 5 months in the small village farming and stuff then he become a part time web developer in daegu and he got the news of his uncle's accident he kind of wanted to swear but then he remembered the comment Namjoon gave about his dad

Flashback

Taehyung(15):You see my father as a criminal don't you?

Namjoon:It doesn't matter,that man left the mortal world long ago,it doesn't matter who declared him innocent who saw him guilty he's not here anymore so thinking him as criminal will not make a difference,I don't quite understand judiciary but know infact it's twisted,so who knows may or may not the actual facts where twisted,I didn't knew uncle well,but I know you,you're a kind boy Taehyung never lose this part of yourself

End of flashback

Namjoon stayed neutral even though his father spewed venom for his father,he stayed neutral he knows his uncle is awful but he was Namjoon's dad and already dead so cursing him that time was no good,after this Namjoon's pestering to become his secretary become extreme he wanted to make Taehyung his secretary ever since he become the CEO and Taehyung turned 21 but he enjoyed himself probably in min.co and not like Namjoon's father would allow this guy to step in the company,it gave him the weird anxiety being in this company the contradictory familiarity and unfamiliarity hurted him but he got adjusted these two years as him being the secretary flew in the blink of an eye and well then it was just a week before Namjoon got kidnapped and Taehyung's life got twisted,messy and old wounds got uncovered
