The door swung open and two men stepped in, dressed in formal shirt and pant. Namjoon entered with Yoongi behind them.

"Jungkook," Namjoon spoke and the younger immediately lifted his head with a questioning gaze, "this is Kim Junghyun ssi and Min Seok ssi."

"Don't you worry. We are both police officers. We aren't here to cause any harm, Jungkook-ssi, but I hope you understand that it is important for us to ask you a couple of questions to understand the situation better."

Seokjin found himself frowning at the officers choice of words. Whatever did he mean by "understand the situation better?"

Jungkook nodded meekly.

"Can my hyungs stay...please?" He requested.

"We're staying," Yoongi assured, then turned his gaze to the officers, "We're not leaving this room. You can ask him whatever you need in front of us."

"Of course," said Min Seok.

Kim Junghyun had a notepad in hand and a pen in the other.

"Jungkook-ssi, could you please tell me—"

Seokjin used his thumb to soothingly run circles onto the skin of Jungkook's hand.

"—what were you wearing when the incident occurred?"

Seokjin's eyes snapped up in shock. He wasn't the only one though, the faces of the rest of the members reflecting the shock he felt at the words.

"W...what?" Jungkook stuttered, mouth going dry.

"What were you wearing? I need you to describe it for me."

"I...just a shirt—"

"Did the shirt have a deep v-neck or was it unbuttoned to reveal your abs?"

Jungkook felt tears sting the back of his eyes.

"What kind of questions are these?" Yoongi barked from the side.

"Yoongi-ssi, with all due respect, this is important for us to carry out the investigation."

"How the heck is this going to help you track down who did it?" Namjoon asked, gritting his teeth together.

"Why can't you ask him questions like what the fuck the guy was wearing or a detailed description of his features that would actually help you track the man faster!" Taehyung burst out, narrowed eyes glaring at the officer.

"We need to know what Jungkook-ssi did to provoke the perpetrator to commit the crime," the officer replied calmly, causing Hoseok to choke on air.

"What Jungkook did to provoke it! The fuck!?"

"Mostly it is the dressing. I've seen Jungkook-ssi on television before flaunting his abs. Sometimes that can just provoke someone and behave as an invitation for—"

"The actual fuck!" Jimin screamed, enraged, "even if he dresses a certain way, it wasn't an invitation for rape!! Jungkook flaunting his abs isn't him asking for it! Mind you, he said no. He fucking said no!"

"Exactly! Jungkook didn't consent. He did not consent, hence why it is called rape!" Yoongi growled, "and it is a crime. A crime he should not have committed! A crime he needs to be punished for!"

"You can't pin this on Jungkook," Hoseok commented, clenching his hands into fists as he glared down at the officer.

"Unfortunately, Hoseok-ssi. The message may not have come across as 'no consent' to the perpetrator," said the officer, further fueling the members.

"He said no. He screamed no and please stop. How is that not a clear enough message that he didn't want it?" Jimin demanded, fuming.

"His words may have, yes. But his body may have given the perpetrator a whole different message. His body may have been asking for it."

There was pin-drop silence in the room, all the members too shocked to reply. Jungkook had turned as pale as the sheets.
